Chapter 8

INT. CONFERENCE ROOM, HOTEL -- DAY

Don Kings' most notorious followers and allies. A door opens, and two BURLY MEXICANS enter, carrying a monitor and laptop. They set the monitor and laptop down on the end of the table.

DON KING

The hell is this...?

The monitor screen flickers to life: Xavier. The room ERUPTS.

XAVIER (ON T.V.)

Gentlemen, please. As you're all aware, our leading officer had his family attacked and his children killed by a fucking Afton wannabe.

TOBY

And who's stupid enough to attack the head of the Attorney Generals new police department? I hope they know their life is over.

XAVIER

I'm told the man who arranged the murders is called Vinnie.

TOBY

Who the hell is that?

MILO

Two-bit whack-job wears a cheap purple suit and make-up. He's not the problem- he's a nobody.

(Looks at Xavier)

The problem is our reputation being damaged and we lose everything. One little coward of a man can't destroy our special services that many see as the guardians of Utah.

Murmurs of surprise.

XAVIER

Thanks to Mr. Milo's well-placed sources we know that police have indeed identified the incident with Don as revenge attack. So, the state wants to get involved with their won special forces. That could cause me to allow the government to release some of our organization that was created to protect-

Everyone starts SHOUTING at once.

XAVIER waits for the noise to subside.

TOBY

You promised that this department we created to help keep Utah safe would work. But maybe you-

XAVIER

With the investigation ongoing, none of you can risk trying to fix this yourselves. We should just wait for the S.W.A.T and other detectives to gain the information for us.

MILO

So, what are you trying to fully propose?

XAVIER

Moving all the pressure onto the main branch of the police department. Corporal PHIL has already infused all his efforts in helping The Rogue Agent solve this case many believe are fake. While others find this intriguing and want evidence.

DON KING

So, you want us to stop trying to kill this bozo? The man murdered my damn children. I want my revenge more than anything. I want to make him suffer.

XAVIER

Obviously, no one can know but us. If the journalist like Courtney Land were to gain leverage over one of you everyone's reputation would be at stake.

DON KING

I don't care what that foolish woman says. She's nothing more than an extra in our profession. Once we find this little bunny, I will destroy her reputation as well. I don't want anyone to find any information about what we talked about today, do you understand Xavier.

XAVIER

Yes sir. I'll make sure to transfer money from the bank over to your account and use the departments account to stir up some individuals to help us catch this bastard.

DON KING

How much money have we accumulated over the 5 years?

XAVIER

About 5 million in the safe. All the money has been processed out of the bank, so we can hide while this investigation is ongoing.

DON KING

Perfect.

The men in the room started to speak intel the monitor started to have glitch effects.

XAVIER

What's happening?

All the men in the room are quiet now looking at the monitor with interest.

The glitch effects showed a bunny face with static around the outer edges. The moniter and computer shut off.

TOBY

What the hell is going on?

The computer turned back on showing a man stand in a room with a white bunny mask on with old blood stans being used to make small stars as decoration. And a heart around the eye hole of the mask.

Vinnie (TV)

Are you having fun making plans to try and save your reputation?

DON KING

You little fuck. How dare you show your useless ass to our meeting.

Vinnie

Look at the big bad liar failing down into madness because he couldn't save his children, he created in a world he formed around lies.

TOBY

What are you talking about, Vinnie? You killed two innocent children. You deserve the death penalty for that you know.

Vinnie

I didn't kill them; I gave them a better future. Their remnant will be used for a greater cause.

MILO

What greater plan are you talking about?

Vinnie

Something your little minds couldn't comprehend. It is something you will never understand outside of my ideologies and our Kings ideology.

MILO

King. What King.

Vinnie giggled.

DON KING

What's so funny.

Vinnie

Seeing you all run and cry with you little buddies make me enjoy watching a liar like you suffer.

DON KING

I'm going to find you and kill you. I'm going to make your death painful. If you think you can hack into my establishment and try to get away with what you've done will be your downfall.

Vinnie giggled in surprise.

Don King hit his fist onto the table in rage and frustration.

DON KING

Stop laughing you stupid bunny. We are going to find you and kill you.

Vinnie

Ok then. Look at this.

Vinnie moved the screen towards the three people tied up in a mysterious room. All the men seeing this looked in shock. TOBY looked closer at the monitor noticing something or someone.

TOBY

That's The Rogue Agent in one of those chairs.

Vinnie

Yes, it is, my smart friend.

DON KING

Why is he there. How did you catch him?

Vinnie

I can't tell you that my friend. But what I can tell you is that he got closer to me than you. Sadly, like I said before. You are a liar. You know nothing about the Afton Family.

Don King squeezed his fist in rage and frustration.

Vinnie (CONT.)

Address 750 Craneview Crest Hurricane, Utah

The men started to laugh at Vinnie.

MILO

You gave your location. You aren't as smart as you act my friend. You are messing with the wrong people. There are more than just us you know.

Vinnie

I hope you have fun.

Vinnie released the glitch from the computer.

DON KING

(Got Up)

I'll send the greatest men we have to that location. We will burst down that building and kill that fucker.
