Chapter 10: The Fairmark
Miyu stood at the edge of the sidewalk and signaled for a cab. She had met her 3 friends. They were to meet Mr. Warren. The cab came to a stop next to her and she opened the door. She climbed in and Aya and Santa followed, as Kanata got into the front. Each of them wore black jackets and outfits of different styles.
"The Fairmark Hotel, please." Miyu said to the driver.
The driver nodded and he drove them to the hotel. Once he was one block away from the hotel, Kanata spoke up, "This is far enough."
"Okay." The driver said and pulled over to the sidewalk. He stopped the car and the four people filled out.
"Thank you." Aya and Miyu said. Miyu handed him a ten-dollar bill. "Keep the change." Miyu told him. He nodded and drove off after she had closed the door.
Miyu turned to her friends. "All right, let's go." They nodded and they all walked down the sidewalk in a horizontal line of four. Miyu walked beside Aya and Kanata and Santa walked beside Aya. They were to meet Mr. Warren behind the hotel so that could give him the stuff he needed and instructions. They walked down an alleyway.
"Mr. Warren!" Aya and Santa exclaimed when they saw him.
"Shh." He said. He looked at Miyu. "Okay, what's the plan?"
"Here," Miyu said digging into her bag, "put these on." She handed him a pair of sunglasses.
"All right." He said as he took off his glasses, put those glasses into his coat pocket, and put the sunglasses on.
"Here, you'll need this." Kanata said as he handed him a black briefcase. "The Mystery Person thinks that you're bringing him, or her, the 10 thousand dollars. This will make you look like you actually have it."
Mr. Warren took it. "You kids are smart." He complemented.
"We learned from the best." Miyu said with a smile. She dug back into her bag. She pulled out the walkie-talkies that she received from Ruu. She gave everyone a watch like band. "Everyone put these on your wrist. These are wrist walkie-talkies." She handed Mr. Warren the earpiece. "Everyone can talk to Mr. Warren and myself."
Mr. Warren put the earpiece in his ear and the walkie-talkie on his wrist.
"And to complete the total undercover look." Aya began. "A hat." She handed Mr. Warren a grey Irish style hat.
"Okay, are you ready?" Miyu asked him.
"Yupp." He replied.
She looked at her friends. "Let's go." Miyu and her friends walked out of the alley and back onto the sidewalk. They walked around the corner and up to the spinning door of the hotel. Miyu went in first, then Aya, and finally the two boys. The four friends walked to the lobby of the hotel. It was a nice hotel. It probably even had five stars it was so nice. The four of them wandered into the lobby. They looked around for Mr. Warren.
Two old ladies sat at a table in the open café next to the lobby. "I think those kids are up to no good." One lady said to the other.
Santa eyed a tray of desserts in the open café. "Mmm. That looks pretty good over there." He said as he walked over.
Aya stopped him. "Oh, come on, Santa." She turned him around.
"Look." Kanata said to him and pointed across the room. He looked and saw Mr. Warren as he came into the lobby. He walked up to them and nodded. Miyu nodded back at him. Then, he sat down in the coushined, arm chair, next to them under a fake palm tree. As he sat down, the clock in the lobby chimed.
"It's two o'clock." Aya softly exclaimed. "Can you stand it? It's two o'clock."
Miyu looked at the two guys. "Okay, guys. Places." Santa nodded and the group of four spilt up into three groups. Kanata and Santa went off alone and Miyu and Aya stuck together. Kanata took a seat across from Mr. Warren and picked up a newspaper. He opened it to hide his face. Santa went to the corner of the room behind Mr. Warren. He hind behind a fake palm like tree and took out his video camera. Aya and Miyu hid by the pillar in front of Mr. Warren behind a palm like tree. Miyu took out her cell phone and pretended to talk to somebody. Aya took out a mirror and a tub of lip-gloss and applied it onto her lips. Occasionally, they glanced back at Mr. Warren.
The five of them waited… and waited… and waited. The first person they saw was Miss Penny. She walked in through the first door and headed to the elevator.
"Oh, no, not Miss Penny." Miyu whispered to Aya. "I left her a message to lie low, but she probably didn't understand."
Miss Penny stopped at the elevator.
Mr. Warren stood up.
"No, don't, Mr. Warren." Miyu told him over the walkie-talkie.
He looked around and sat back down.
The elevator opened up and Miss Penny went inside.
So the five of them waited again. They waited and waited, growing more and more impatient with each second.
A group of people entered the lobby at that last second and one of its members was very familiar to them.
"It's Mr. Gold!" Aya gasped as he walked passed them, not even noticing them.
"What?" Miyu asked as she tried to get a back look at him.
Mr. Gold walked passed Kanata, not even noticing him either. Kanata looked at him oddly.
He even passed Santa and didn't notice him either. He walked into a room behind Santa that Santa managed to catch on tape.
"Or not." Aya said as she saw him go into the room.
Then from out of that room, a security member forcefully dragged out the homeless guy, who wore Mr. Warren's coat. But before the homeless man could get kicked out, he freed himself from the security member's hands and ran away passed Miyu and Aya.
"It's that homeless guy with Mr. Warren's coat." Miyu explained as she watched the guy run up the stairs with the security member hot on his trail.
Mrs. Jones walked up the stairs from the floor beneath them. "And look!" Miyu gasped. "Mrs. Jones?"
Another familiar person walked around the pillar. "It's Miss Spence!" Aya said as Miss Spence walked passed them. Miss Spence walked into the same room that Mr. Gold had walked in through.
"Is she meeting Mr. Gold?" Miyu wondered out loud.
Mr. Warren pressed a button on his "wrist watch" and brought it up to his lips. "I'm confused."
"Okay," Miyu began losing her temper, "are we on some new TV show with hidden cameras?"
Aya looked behind her and saw something. "Miyu."
"Because I don't care what the prizes are, this is too insane."
"Miyu!"
"What?" She looked to see where Aya was looking at. Right there was Detective Meany and he was eyeing Mr. Warren. "Meany!" Miyu gasped as she and Aya hid a bit further back into the palm tree.
Detective Meany walked pass them and straight up to Mr. Warren. "Jones." He spat with disgust.
"Mr. Hawkins." He said as he removed his glasses. "I… I can't believe it's you. You did this to me? Why? I was your best employee, your-your toughest deal maker."
"I never believed that you were a dead man." He said, ignoring Mr. Warren's question.
Mr. Warren scoffed as he glared at him. "You ruined my life. For all intents and purposes, I am dead."
Mr. Hawkins chuckled. "Well, I must say, for a dead man," he sat down in the chair next to him, "you certainly seem to be enjoying yourself."
"Right." He scoffed. "Enjoy living my life on the run. You set me up."
Mr. Hawkins chuckled again. "Of course, I did, old boy." He admitted not knowing this whole time; Miyu was listening to their conversation. "You're such an easy mark. Why not make it easy on yourself now and hand it over." He looked at Mr. Warren with such hatred and demand.
"I don't have the money." Mr. Warren depressingly replied.
"Of course you don't have the money you fool. Just… Just give me what belongs to me." Mr. Hawkins tried to explain without losing his temper.
Kanata watching and listening to the conversation the whole time, told Mr. Warren over the walkie-talkie, "Don't go there, Mr. Warren. Just trap him."
"To make up go away, I'll give you have right now." Mr. Warren simply replied to Mr. Hawkins request.
"Half." Mr. Hawkins spat not buying his fib. He lost his temper. "Half?!" He stood up and tried to take the briefcase from him. "What are you talking about you fool?" In the struggle, he pulled out the line for the earpiece and a loud sound of feedback played into his and Miyu's ear.
"Ow!" Mr. Warren gasped.
"Ow!!" Miyu yelped as she pulled out the earpiece from her ear.
Mr. Hawkins had taken the briefcase, but he also noticed that it was empty and that Mr. Warren was getting instructions from somewhere. "Who sent you?" He asked.
Mr. Warren stood up to grab him, but Mr. Hawkins turned around and ran. He saw a large suitcase and pushed it over. Mr. Warren tripped over it and Mr. Hawkins escaped.
"Ow! Aah! Ow!" Mr. Warren gasped in pain as he rolled on the floor. Miyu, Aya, Kanata, and Santa rushed to his side.
"Are you okay?" Kanata asked.
"Yeah, it was just my ankle. Don't let him get away! Ow!" Mr. Warren told them.
They left him and head for the stairs where Mr. Hawkins had headed. However, there were two flights of stairs, up and down, and they hadn't seen which flight Mr. Hawkins took. "Okay, you two go up and Kanata and I will go down." Miyu told Aya and Santa. They nodded and the group spilt.
The down stairs was a square shaped spiral of stairs that was around six or seven levels. Their footsteps echoed as Miyu and Kanata climbed down them. The stairs led to the basement of the hotel. Miyu and Kanata entered the basement. It was the boiler room. They walked down a few more steps and rounded a corner to see machines for electricity, water, and plumbing, but no Mr. Hawkins. They ran passed the machines looking through the spaces for him. They passed a few more machines before they saw him on the other side.
"There he is. Come on!" Kanata said as he picked up his speed. Miyu followed behind. They followed him on the other side until they couldn't find him anymore. The stopped and looked around. They walked slowly around the corner.
Suddenly a big metal barrel fell toward them. Miyu screamed. "Look out!" Kanata told her as he pushed her back. Kanata saw Mr. Hawkins dart away from the pile of metal barrels. He chased after him. He looked in between the pipes and saw that Mr. Hawkins was on the other side. Kanata turned around and ran through the next opening where Mr. Hawkins was and Miyu followed him.
Mr. Hawkins was by the wall next to a switch. Before Kanata reached the end of the opening, Mr. Hawkins flipped the switch; then he climbed the emergency ladder next to him.
Hot steam poured from first faucet from the line of hoses next to him. He stopped and turned around. "Let's get out of here!" He said as the next hose sprayed hot steam. He ran passed Miyu as she turned.
Miyu went to run, but something pulled her arm back. She looked down to see that he silver bracelet was caught on the pipeline. She looked panicked at Kanata. "Kanata! Kanata, I'm stuck!"
He immediately turned around and saw her. He darted off to fine something to cut her loose. The next hose sprayed hot steam. She screamed and backed away. There was only one more hose left: the hose right above her face. "Hurry, Kanata!" She screamed.
He found a toolbox. He flipped open the lid and dug through the tools. He found a pair of pliers. He picked them up and ran over to Miyu.
"Kanata!" She screamed as she tried to pull free. Kanata rushed to her side and broke the bracelet off with the pair of pliers. She was free.
"Come on!" He told her as he pulled her away. At that second, hot scream poured out of the last hose. The two of them kept running to the door. They burst through the door. They stopped to catch their breaths. It closed behind them.
Miyu looked at Kanata. She had never seen him so worried and heroic before. "Wow, Kanata. Thank you." She said and kissed him on the cheek.
He must have blushed a deeper red than a tomato right there. He sighed and said, "Uh, come on." They jogged down the hallway. They were in a different part of the basement. They didn't come this way down here.
"Which way do we go?" Miyu asked him. Suddenly, they both heard a muffled scream coming from the right. Miyu decided it was best to follow that scream. Kanata followed behind her. She followed it to a pink door at had a sign that was falling off which said "Fairmark Hotel and Spa" and underneath that sign was writing that said "Lady's Lockers-1" in capitals and black paint.
Miyu walked up to the door. "Wait here, Kanata." She told him and went inside. The muffle scream became louder. She walked into a waiting like area for there were cushioned benches and chairs. There was a metal trashcan to the right of her and woman's clothing was stuffed into it. "Hello?" She called.
There was only the sound of a shower that was running and another muffled scream. She walked inside the locker area of the room. There were lines of lockers and in between each line was a chair or bench. "Hello?" She called again as she looked to the right to see a chair. Another muffled scream called. She locked to the left. Another chair. "Hello?" A longer scream was heard. She looked to the right after the next line of lockers and there was Miss Penny. She was wrapped in a bathrobe. Her hands were tied with rope and the sash for the bathrobe was tied around her mouth. On her face was a facial mask and her feet were soaking in special feet soak. Her legs were tied to the legs of the chair.
"Oh my goodness! Miss Penny! Are you okay?" Miyu asked.
"Mmm." Miss Penny called for she couldn't talk with the sash tied around her mouth.
"Oh, talk about a fashion emergency." Miyu said as she pulled the sash off of Miss Penny's mouth. She bent down and went to untie her legs.
"I received and exclusive invitation for a free day at the spa and this is what it gets me." Miss Penny explained. "What in the world is going on here? What are you doing here?" She asked as Miyu untied her hands.
Miyu stood up. "There's no time to explain. But Mr. Warren's alive."
"What?"
"Well, you're going to flip when you hear the detail, but they're going to have to wait. Right now we have to 86 Hawkins. He's the one who issued this oh-so-exclusive invitation. Oh, Miss Penny." She helped Miss Penny unto her feet. Miss Penny took her feet out of the liquid. Miyu led her over to the showers. Miyu stepped inside the shower, turned it on, and came back out. "Forgive me for hosing you down like this, but I've got to go." She explained and pushed Miss Penny into the running water. Then, Miyu slid the pink curtain closed.
okay its time for the adding, deleting, and replacing of scenes!
1st added scene was when the group got into the car and when they got out. In the movie, it showed Lexy, Jen, Gabe, and Jack getting into the cab, but not talking to the driver nor getting out. So that was my idea.
2nd added scene was when the group was talking to Mr. Warren in the alley. In the movie, it showed them talking and giving Mr. Walker (a.k.a Mr. Warren) the supplies, but it doesn't show them talking, so their lines are mine there.
replaced scene #1: when Kanata was searching through the toolbox. In the movie, Jack finds the pair of pliers on this cart thingy.
3rd added scene was when Kanata blushed. In the movie, Jack doesn't blush, but he smiles a bit. But since this is Kanata Saionji he blushed. Ü
the rest was done according to the movie.
