Secrets 2
Dez and Austin are walking to his house after they both finished working for the day. "Why wouldn't you call this girl?" Dez asks Austin.
"Oh, I don't know. Did you see her?" Austin says.
"Oh, man, yes. Which is why I repeat the question, Why wouldn't you call this girl?"
"Because I live on planet Earth, Morgan. Why are you following me home?" They both stop walking in front of Austins door.
"Hey. We are buddies, we do friend things and... I need your computer."
"Virus?"
"Yep." They open the door and Austin turns the light on. "You know, you got to understand. This is what I've been telling people for I don't know how long..." Dez stops talking and both freeze on spot. The door slams behind them in pitch quietness. There stands in front of them in Austin's apartment is a person wearing black from top to bottom holding Austin's computer.
"Please, not the computer." Austin says slowly.
The burglar sets the computer down on the ground and gets prepared to fight both of them. Dez grabs a plate on the side table beside the door and throws it at the burglar but hits the plate and it flies back in to Austin's gut and he groans in pain. Dez quickly grabs a candle and throw it at the burglar and hits it towards Austin and hits him in the groin. Austin groans in pain again. Dez quickly grabs a blue vase and accidentally smashes it over Austin's head. Austin slowly cranes his head towards Dez in madness. "Come on, Austin! Do something!"
Austin walks over to the burglar. "Give me the..." The burglar throws the compute at Austin and he catches it in his hands. The burglar trips Austin falls backwards and kicks him into the wall and falls on the side table and it falls apart and the burglar catches the computer. The burglar sets the computer on a crooked self and gets ready to fight Dez.
"That's my friend!" Dez says. He turns around and grabs a umbrella and runs towards the burglar screaming. The burglar grabs the umbrella out of his hands and starts whipping it around in front of Dez. "Okay, hes not that good of friend." Dez puts his hands out in surrender. The burglar whips the umbrella at Dez and he falls on Austin. Behind the burglar the self falls off the wall and smashes into pieces. The burglar runs away and goes through the window.
Austin and Dez look over while laying on the ground. Austin says to Dez, "Didn't you hang that shelf?"
The burglar runs away from the apartments and jumps into their car and takes off in super speed. They take off their mask revealing who the burglar was. The girl from the electronic store, Ally Dawson. "Damn it!" She says
The next day Austin goes to the store and brings his wrecked computer with him. He goes to the storage room in the back where the loading dock is to see if one of his co-workers could do something to fix it. "Nah, I've been through it." Lester, one if his co-workers says. "It's dead. It's totally fried. This hard drive was...murdered."
"What if you were the unwitting target of a ninja vendetta, and he returns tonight to strangle you with his nunchakus?"
Austin puts on a flat face, "That's super, Jeff. Thanks for thinking outside the box on that one." Jeff has got to be at least in his fifties and it wouldn't be surprising if he had started working at the electronic store when it first opened. He's balding guy who has no thoughts on the actual life sometimes. "And here I though I couldn't get anymore freaked out. I'm going to go buy some new locks next door at Large Mart."
Austin walks to the store and goes through some halls when he notices a creepy guy holding a tool. "Oh, thank God. Uh...Excuse me, sir. Do you know where they sell the...?" The guys looks at Austin and suddenly millions of pictures go through his head. Some things about the news broadcast about someone trying to stop the generals speech.
"What do you want?" The man asks with a germane accent.
"Um... Um...No. Sorry. Sorry. Nothing. Nothing at all. Just...I was, uh...Wow! Look at that." Austin continues walking down the isle. Austin starts humming and freaking out a bit. He turns around and notices the guy not looking at continues walking when he hears that he lowered a tool in his hand and can hear him following him. He also notices that no one was around when they had been around a few minutes ago. Austin whimpers quietly and starts running away. He turns the corner and bumps into a worker. "Oh! Oh, my God! Thank God! Listen! There's a guy here, and he's trying to do something. I don't know. You have to call the cops-Security-the guy at the front who's checking receipts."
"Uh-huh. What kind of guy?" The girl asks a little freaked out.
"Scary, kind of a Terminator vibe. Stubble. Red hair."
"Black leather jacket?"
"YES! YES!" The lady points to the checkout and Austin turns around. The same guy who is standing at the checkout buying a tool.
"Like that guy." The lady turns around and Austin looks shocked and stunned. He looks around to start noticing people shopping when they weren't there a minute ago. Austin lets out an exasperated sigh and walks out of the store. The stranger Austin was running from walk out of the checkout while holding a gun in his jacket.
Austin walks into the store and doesn't notices that he is being watched by Ally Dawson from a car in the parking lot. She is on the phone with Graham. "I have eyes on him right now. Like I said, the computer was destroyed. Beyond repair. "
Graham says, "Okay. It's done. I want you in the air in an hour."
"But what if he has an external drive? A backup?"
"It's over, Ally. The NSA is stepping in. Bryce was CIA, he was our guy, and he burned us. De La Rosa's on her way out. You're being recalled."
"'Cause of Trish? She's a burnout."
"She's a killer, Ally. Cold school. I want you to listen to me. Whatever happened with Bryce, you couldn't have known. You couldn't have stopped. "
"But I can fix it. If there's a backup, I'll find it. Just give me twelve hours." Ally hangs up the phone and enters the electronic store.
Austin has his head face down at his Nerd Herd desk and repeats himself, "I'm losing my mind. I'm losing my mind." Ally dings the bell that's placed on the counter. "Dez" Austin grabs Ally's hand not realizing it is her," I'm not in the mood..." He plays with her hand and notices moves his eyes out of his arm and notices Ally. He jumps and smiles at Ally. "Hi! Hi... Uh... phone trouble again?"
"Uh, yeah. I'm not sure I'm able to receive calls, 'cause I never got one from you." Dez starts laughing in the background and Austin shoots a glare at him and Dez walks away. "I'm sorry I left so quickly yesterday. I had an appointment with a realtor. I just moved here."
"Welcome."
"Thanks. And, uh... I don't really know anyone here. I was wondering if you would show me around. That is, if you're free."
"Oh, he's free." Dez says behind Austin. "He's got nothing but time on his hands. He is very available. You guys are going to have a great time." Austin shoots a glare at Dez and he dancing away like he usually does.
Austin looks back towards Ally, "Apparently, my schedule is wide open."
Ally smiles, "Great."
Ally leaves the store but doesn't notice that she has eyes on her. Trish De La Rosa
After work Austin walks into his apartment where Amanda and her boyfriend are in the living room watching TV. "Okay guys. Don't freak out. I have some news." All of a sudden Dez comes running in and hops on Austin's back.
"Austin's got a date!" Dez announces. No one will ever figure out how Austin can carry Dez. It's one of the worlds many mysteries.
"Wait ago, Austin. That's awesome." Matt says.
"With who?" Amanda asks. "Oh, God! What are you going to wear?"
Amanda picks out some cloths with Austin and after Austin takes a shower and gets ready for his date. Before Austin leaves Amanda comes running outside to give him some flowers.
"Wait. Take these. They are left over from the party."
"Thanks."
"Dad would be so proud of you."
"And you too sis."
Back at Ally's new apartment she is getting ready for the so called date. She wraps multiple knifes around her left ankle and puts two knives disguised to hold her hair in a bun. She checks herslelf out to see if it looks okay. She outs on a bulletproof vest on and straps it in place. She puts on a gold top and black leggings. She calls in on her phone to let Graham know about the plan. "He's picking me up for a date."
"You're on your own on this one, Ally. I can't help you if something goes wrong."
"I don't know about this guy, Graham."
"Nice guys aren't sent government secrets." Ally hears a knock on her apartment door. Ally loads her gun and hids it in her jeans.
"What should I do if he runs?" She opens the door to see Austin.
"Kill him." Ally hangs up the phone and smiles at Austin who has a smile of his own.
Austin and Ally go on there date, at least, Austin thinks it a date. Ally is just trying to get a backup from his computer. Little does she know that it's downloaded into his head. A mariachi band is playing in the background of the restaurant.
"So I live with my sister and her boyfriend Captain Awesome."
Ally starts laughing,"No"
"It's true, though."
"So you call him "Captain Awesome"?"
"Yeah, wait till you meet him. Everything he does is awesome. Climbing mountains, jumping out of planes, flossing."
Ally laughs, "That's funny."
"Well, I'm a funny guy."
"Clearly. Which is good 'cause I am not funny."
"Is that your big secret, by the way? 'Caue I've been sitting here trying to figure out what's wrong with you."
"Oh. Plenty, believe me."
"And I was thinking either she's a cannibal or she's really not that funny and I was pulling for cannibal because I haven't met one before."
"Uh, not a cannibal, but I did just come out of a long relationship, so I may come with baggage."
"Well,I'm can be your very own baggage handler." After Austin said that Ally starts laughing. To break the awkward silence Austin starts to talk again, "Uh, so the guy, the ex, the guy. The ex is the reason you moved here from..."
"Uh, D.C."
"Right."
"Yeah, after I realized that all of my friends were his friends and that everything about Washington reminded me of...Bruce, I needed a change, a big one."
"Well, I hope you get to make Burbank a new home for you."
"Thanks. So, so what about you? What skeletons do you have in your closet? Any secrets? Any woman?"
"Uh, yeah, yeah. Uh, actually, well, back in college there was someone...Actually, that's all over with now and her restraining order is very specific." They both laugh.
"I like you, Austin." Ally smiles at Austin and then takes another sip of her drink. After dinner they decide to go for a walk. "So, where are we going?"
"Well, do you like music?"
"I guess."
"What do you mean by You guess?"
"Well, I use to write songs when I was younger but I just haven't had time lately."
"That's cool."
Suddenly Austin stops walking when he looks over the bridge that he was on looking at the police cars and motorbikes driving by with there sirens on. Austin flashing which means he sees all those pictures that relate to what he had just saw.
"Sorry. I was just out of it for a second." They continue walking and talkIng.
What niether did they know was that they had eyes in from Trish who was looking at them from her car. She's with another guy. "Austin Moon's your mark. NSA director wants him with a pulse. Till we find out who he's working with and what he knows, he lives. CIA skirt..." She loads her handgun. "You can kill."
Austin and Ally enter a dance club and grab a drink. They find a couch and just laughing and smile at each other. A group of guys that Trish sent out follow them into the club. Ally looks over and notices them and pulls Austin in to dance. "I'm not really a dancer." But they dance anyway. Ally dances behind Austin and grabs a knife and throws it at one o the guys arm and stabs him. Ally moves in front of Austin and moves her hands to her hair and pulls out her sticks keeping her hair in place and takes them out and moves her hair around. Austin's just enjoying this. Ally throws one of them while Austin's head was looking up. The stick stabs him in the leg. Ally grabs Austin's butt and grabs another nice and stabs a guy in the leg and kicks him away. Ally slides under Austis legs and he pulls her up. In the distance Trish watched the entire thing. Ally pulls Austin out of the club.
"Hey-hey-hey, where's the fire?" Austin asks.
"Austin give me your keys."
Ally goes on the drivers side of the car. "I don't mean ton b old fashioned but the company only wants employees-nerds driving the Nerd Herd-mobile." Ally pick locks the lock. It beeps to unlock. Ally opens the door.
"Get in the car." Ally hops in the drivers side.
"how did you get into car?" a black van comes around the corner and Austin jumps in. Ally starts driving backwars into traffic. "What I going on? Please tell me what's going on! Ally your not even looking behind you! Wait, wait, wait! Who are these guys? What do they want? Oh, my God!" The black car with Trish in it hits the front end of there car. "Oh, my God I'm going to die!
"Tell me when to turn."
Austin looks behind him, "Left in five seconds!"
"My left or your left?"
"What?"
"Too late." Ally turns the car and rolls down 30 cement steps. Some skater guys above look down at the company vehicle rolling down and notice that it was a computer fixing company vehicle.
"Whoa, computer emergency." (I love that)
The car Trish was in stops at the top off t stairs and goes around the block. Ally keeps driving and ends up on another street. It stops and falls to pieces. They both get out of the car and Ally grabs Austin's hand and start running. Austin trips over the car door lying on the ground and Ally turns around. The van comes towards Ally and is about Tom get ran over when she makes a bold move. She takes out a knife from her ankle and hits the emergent button with it and Ally goes for cover by covering her face and the barricade pops up And the van hits face on the barricade. Austin looks up and runs towards Ally. "Ally. Al..."
Ally stands up and grabs Austin hand. "Come on!" Ally presses a button on her phone. "Request emergency air-evac. Track location, we're on foot." Ally looks up to see a building. Ally grabs Auti hand again and start running. They climb up stairs and go on the building to wait do the helicopter to go and get them. "How well do you know Bryce Larkin?"
"What? How do you... How do you know Bryce?"
"We work together at the CIA."
"The what?! The CIA?! Bryce is a spy?! Bryce Larkin from Connecticut is a spy?!"
Ally turns around, "A rogue spy. Did he try to contact you?"
"I haven't heard from Bryce in... Wait. No, he... He sent me an email."
Ally turns around again, "Did you open it?"
"Yeah, there was tons of pictures."
"did you see them? your computer, did you back it up? Is there a external drive?"
"It crashed a week , was I not supposed to look at those pictures?"
"okay, I may have to aim my gun at you so don't freak out."
"why?"
Suddenly Trish comes towards them wiping blood off her lip. "It's late. I'm tired. Let's cut the crap and give him to me now. He belongs to the NSA. " ally pulls out her gun and aims it at Austin and he gasps putting his hands in the air.
"The CIA gets him first." Trish pulls out her Gun and aims it at Ally. "You come any closer and I shoot."
"Ally... I'm freaking out." Austin says.
"You shoot him, I shoot you. I leave both your bodies here, and go out here for a late snack. I'm thinking may be pancakes." Austin starts laughing nervously. He turns around and starts running towards the end of the building. May I remind you that they are in top of a high building.
"Austin, no!" Ally yells. Austin looks at the bulding across from them and do flashes.
Austin turns around. "They're going to kill him."
"Kill who?" Trish asks.
"Stanfield, the general. The General Stanfield, the NATO guy." Ally and Trish look at Austin confused. "Look, something is wrong with me. Okay? I don't know what it is, but something is very, very wrong with me, and I'm remembering things that I shouldn't know."
Ally says, "Okay, Austin, talk to me. Like what?"
"I don't know. For example, Uh, there was a Serbian demolitions expert at the large mart today. That's kind of odd, wouldn't you say? Look, last week the NSA, you guys intercepted some blueprints." Austin looks at Trish. "Blueprints of a hotel. That hotel." Austin points towards the building behind them. "And then he CIA, you guys found a file of schematics of a bombs in Prague. The bomb is in that hotel!"
Trish aims her gun at Austin and Ally aims her gun at Trish. "He was working with Bryce."
"No, he opened Bryces email. Austin those pictures were encoded with secrets, government secrets. If you saw them then you know them."
"There were thousands of them." Austin says.
"Wait a minute." Trish says. "You're telling me all of our secrets are in his head." Trish points the laser to his forehead.
"Austin is the computer." Ally says.
"What did you...what did you say? What does that mean?" Austin asks.
"Austin, you have to listen to me. You have to tell us where..."
"What is happening to me?!"
"You said there was a bomb. Is there time to stop it?"
"Wait? What? Are you crazy?!"
"No, we're the good guys." Trish says still aiming her gun at him. "We get paid to keep bombs from exploding."
"Look, I can't help you, okay? I really wish that I could. But I can't. Call Bryce. He's the guy that can save the day."
Ally says, "Bryce is dead! He died sending those secret to you."
"Bryce is dead?"
Trish lets off a warning shot by firing her gun in the air. "Yeah, and he's going to have a lot of company unless you start talking. So pretty please... Can we defuse the bomb yet?" They go to the hotel and run into the room and find the bomb in the middle of the room. They open the computer and it shows that there is only a minute and twenty seven seconds until the bomb goes off.
"Oh, God." Ally says.
"No time to evacuate. Any ideas?" Trish asks.
"Disconnect the laptop."
"There's no trigger."
"The cables."
"No, defiantly a trap."
Some guys go up to them, "What the hell do you think you are doing?" Everyone in the room starts panicking and leaves the room.
Ally grabs Austin's arm, "Austin, is there anything else you remember about the bomb?" All of a sudden Austin's ringer goes off playing rock and roll music. Austin answers it and Ally and Trish go back to figuring out out of deactivate it.
"Hi, Dez."
"Hey, how's it going?"
"Little busy right now, buddy."
"In a good way? Details."
"Why are you calling?"
"I don't know, just...laying on your bed, Amanda's with the captain. My computers got a case of that virus still. Ugh. So, I figured I'd check in..." Austin puts down the phone and realizes something.
"Okay, okay. I have an idea."
Trish, "That's not XBox. And your not in X-Men."
"I understand that. This is a Prism Exress Laptop. We sell them at our store and they are the only ones who if you enter right into the Internet that a virus with come on and it will completely black out." Twenty nine seconds left. "I think I can do this. I can do this, please."
"He's out best shot, Trish." Ally says. Austin starts typing into the computer.
"Mr. Bomb, meet Mr. Internet." Austin clicks enter. One millisecond left and the computer completely sits down. Austin Korean his eyes and sighs out of relief. Ally looks impressed and Trish looks surprised.
"You did it." Ally smiles.
"I did it. I did it. I...I defused a real bomb." Austin laughs nervously and looks at Ally. "This was a real... What if I was wrong?"
"Don't puke on the C-4." Trish says. Ally puts his hand on his shoulders.
Ally and Trish say in sync, "He's coming with me."
Trish says, "What if this was a fluke?"
"And what if it wasn't? What if he can stop something bigger?"
"Fine, well drop in a psych tank, let him stare at four rubber walls for a decade. He'll tell us what we want to know."
"Trish, we don't know how this works and what triggers the memories. He'll crack wide open."
"Not my job. I break things, I don't fix them."
"What about his job? And his friends? What do we do about his sister?"
Austin walks in, "What abut my sister."
"Nothing. We were just discussing..."
"No, no, no, hold on a second. You have to leave my family out of this."
Trish says, "We'll see."
"Look, Bryce sent that email to me. I'm the one remembering your secrets. Which means you have to listen to me, both of you. And right now... I'm going to go home."
Trish grabs Austin, "No you're not."
Austin gets out of her grip, "You..." He points to Trish and then to Ally. "You need me." Austin walks away.
The sun is rising and Austin decides to go see the sunrise at the beach. Ally comes up to him holding her heels. "How long have you been here?" Austin asks.
"All night." Ally sits next to Austin.
"There's nowhere I can run to is there?"
"Not from us. Talk to me, Austin."
"Yesterday I was making eleven bucks an hour fixing computers. Now I have one in my brain. And I can't figure out why Bryce did this, why he chose me. What are you going to do with me? What happens now?"
"For now, you go back to your own life. We'll protect you and you'll work with us."
"And my sister, my friends, are they in danger?"
"You tell them nothing to keep them safe. Need you to do one more thing for me."
"Yeah?"
"Trust me, Austin." Austin smiles. Ally bumps Austin a little bit.
Back at Ally's apartment she sits in her bed and turns on her phone. She goes into her photo albums and looks at photos of her and her ex-boyfriend. Bryce Larkin. Ally signs and looks through her mirror.
Back at the Techies and Technology where Austin works he fills out a form and brings it to Big Mike. Austin's boss. The application was for the Assistant Manager.
"Did think you'd apply." He says.
"Well I think I got what it takes."
"Yeah, yeah. Save it for the interview. Now go train the new girl."
"Okeydokey."
When he walks out he notices Trish in a T and T outfit for the store. While walking through another isle notices Ally walking past him making it look like she is shopping. He takes a quick glance at Ally's ring and flashing on it. He sees a video surveillance of Ally in disguise as an old lady. This must have been just before she got the assignment it be Austin's handler. She beats up a group of guys and then shoot the camera and it blacks out. Austin watches Ally pass by and whimpers in scared ness.
