Chapter 1 : Follow the Red Lotus.
Slow fade in, a dark room with only a few lights illuminate the it. repetitive sounds of a click, clack, click, clack on a keyboard fill the room. closer to the silhouette of a young man sitting in front of a computer screen with headphones on with loud music. smoke slowly fills the room, he inhales deeply, coughs slightly and exhales softly and slowly. The click clacks of the keyboard continues. the silhouette of a mans phone rang.
*RING!RING!...RING!RING!*

he tosses Jess 3 30 sacs.
Dustin

*later at Jess' place, Loud music playing, Jess' brother is playing video games, Jess And Shy Are kissing on the couch, another Woman is on her phone and Dustin sat outside looking up shit on the internet. his phone started to ring.

Jess comes out the front door
Jess

Dustin

Jess

she shuts the door.
Dustin gets up quickly and exits the entry gate of Jess' home and waited.
2 minutes later a car shows up
the passenger door opens up, a young woman pops her head out.
Marie
Get in!
Dustin looks back at Jess' house.
Marie
don't worry, they'll be here when you get back.
Dustin sighs, gets in the car and shuts the door. Marie drives off.
Marie
Hello, Jonny.
Dustin
How do you know that name?
Marie
i know a lot about you.
Dustin
And you are?
Marie
my name is Marie.
Dustin
Marie. . . THE Marie? The one who hacked and cracked the military Nuclear warhead database?
Marie
that was years ago.
Dustin
Hot damn.
Marie
What?
Dustin
I thought you be more white and. . . nerdy.
Marie
Most nerds would.
Dustin
That was you on my Phone and Computer. how'd you do that?
Marie
that doesn't matter, all i can tell you is you are in deep shit and danger.
Dustin
of what?
Marie
Of them. they are watching you, Jonny.
Dustin
who is?
Marie
Shut up and listen. i know why you are here Jonny. i know why you stay up night after night, sitting at your computer. you are looking for him.
Dustin's' eyes widen. Marie Continues.
Marie
I know because i was looking for the same person. but once i found him, he told me it wasn't him i was looking for, i was searching for an answer to one of my main questions. you know the question, just as i did.
Dustin *hesitant*
What is that matrix?
Marie
the answer is out there, Jonny. and it's waiting for you, if you care to seek for it.
the car slows down and stops in front of Jess' house.
Dustin
Will we meet again?
Marie
that is up to you, but we will be watching.
Jonny opens the door and gets out the car. and shuts the door. Marie drives away. Jess walks to the gate.
Jess
Hey, Dust, where'd you go?
Dustin
oh, that was just another buyer. let's get inside.
Dustin's phone rang
Choi Dejaski
Dustin

Jess

Dustin

Choi

Dustin

Choi

Choi

Choi hangs up
Dustin
