The Hitman types.
SCREEN
ReIpEr: When?
Geezer: Be careful Nex. You WERE shot, you know.
NeXuS: Tomorrow. At 9 pm.
ReIpEr: I'll be there.
Jeff has entered the room.
KYE: w00t! Jeff!
Blank: wb Jeff
Rikimaru: yeah! Jeff!
The Hitman exits MIRC and sits back in his chair. We hear his thoughts:
HITMAN (V. O.)
Back to Seattle...
He gets up and moves to the window. Washington lays in front of him, a mass of lit buildings glittering in the night.
CUT TO:
THE WINDOW THROUGH BINOCULARS- NIGHT
We see the Hitman standing at his window through the POV of binoculars.
EXT. THE ROOFTOPS- NIGHT
Lobo puts his binoculars away. He stands at the edge of a building, the streets far below him. He looks at his bandaged hand, and walks away.
FADE TO:
INT. THE AGENCY- NIGHT
The Controller is asleep in his chair, snoring softly. Meanwhile, the Agent speaks to McInnery in the corner of the room.
AGENT
What do we do know?
MCINNERY
We wait.
AGENT
Shouldn't we do something? 47 and Lobo are out in circulation and on the prowl. Shouldn't we-
MCINNERY
There's nothing we can do but wait...
AGENT
Surely we could take them out before they do more damage.
MCINNERY
No. There's no way. We just wait...
FADE TO:
INT. A TRAIN- NIGHT
The Hitman sits in a moving train while we hear the conversation:
MCINNERY (V. O.)
They've been created to disappear, to be untraceable. They could be anywhere, any time. We just have to be ready when they come.
AGENT (V. O.)
We could be on lock-down forever?
MCINNERY (V. O.)
I've informed the man upstairs on the situation and he'll decide when it is time to call it off.
AGENT (V. O.)
Any idea when that might be?
MCINNERY (V, O.)
Do I look like a physic? Shut the hell up and get some sleep.
We FOCUS on the Hitman for a little while. Night turns to day and back again.
CUT TO:
EXT. OUTSIDE THE LAN PARTY- NIGHT
Nexus stands next to the makeshift warehouse, his laptop in hand. From the warehouse, we hear PRODIGY & CRYSTAL METHOD'S 'SIDEWINDER' BLASTING. Nexus looks around just as the Hitman steps into view.
NEXUS
If you need my help again, it's gonna cost you.
HITMAN
Walk.
Nexus moves alongside the Hitman as they walk toward the carpark.
