Chapter 11: Keep Moving
(Dipper and Wendy get behind the wall where they find Jeff leaning against it and Pacifica beside him. There is now a light rain outside.)
Dipper: We better keep moving.
Pacifica: (worries) He's hit.
(Dipper kneels down beside Jeff and sees him clutching his side where a nasty bullet wound is.)
Jeff: (weak) I'm okay...
Dipper: Alright, you're gonna be fine. Think you can stand?
Jeff: I think so...
Dipper: Aright, c'mon, I'll help you -
(Jeff puts one arm over Dipper's shoulders as Dipper helps him to stand. Pacifica reaches for Jeff's camera.)
Dipper: No, leave that. It's busted anyway. Here we go.
(Jeff stands up and they stumble forward.)
Wendy: (skeptical) Dipper -
Dipper: He's fine, aren't you, chief? Alright, get that door open.
Wendy: This won't work. He won't make it with them after us!
Pacifica: (serious) We have to try!
Dipper: Get the door open, Wendy!
Wendy: (agitated) You're going to get us all killed!
(Wendy kicks the door to the courtyard open and walks through it. Dipper starts helping Jeff through the streets in the rain.)
Dipper: Alright, buddy. Let's go.
(Some armed men appear on a nearby bridge and shoot down at them.)
Dipper: Crap!
(Wendy kicks open the door of a building.)
Wendy: C'mon!
Pacifica: Go, Dipper! I'll cover you!
(Dipper helps Jeff through the nearby building.)
Wendy: Okay, we gotta get outta here. Let's go!
Dipper: Pacifica, barricade the door!
Pacifica: Got it!
(Pacifica pushes a bookshelf in front of the door behind them. They exit the building and get back on the street. Jeff struggles to stand up.)
Dipper: C'mon!
Wendy: Dipper, we can't do this.
Dipper: Just go!
(A soldier ambushes Wendy in the alley ahead and pins her against the wall.)
Pacifica: Oh, look out!
(Dipper shoots him off her.)
Wendy: (winces) Ah, that was close.
(They continue to move as fast as they can.)
Wendy: (desperate) Pick up the pace!
Pacifica: C'mon Jeff, you can make it.
Nathan: You're gonna be okay, Jeff, you're gonna be okay... stay with me.
(A military truck rams through a brick wall in front of them.)
Dipper: (alarmed) Holy shit!
Pacifica: C'mon, this way!
(Pacifica kicks open a nearby door. Dipper and Jeff follow Pacifica and Wendy into another building. Pacifica runs up to a locked gate at the other side of the building and tries to open it. A soldier with a rocket launcher appears on a platform across the street.)
Dipper: Heads up! Pacifica!
(The soldier fires a rocket at the gate and blows it open. Pacifica is knocked back as Wendy takes out the soldier. Pacifica gets back up.)
Pacifica: I'm okay!
(They move through the gate and out onto the street again. Another military truck appears in the street up ahead. Wendy starts shooting at it.)
Dipper: Ah, crap! Wendy get outta there!
Pacifica: Hey, over here!
(They follows Pacifica through another abandoned building nearby.)
Dipper: Don't give up now. C'mon.
(They walk back out into the street. Another military truck blocks their way and more of Ivan's men get out.)
Dipper: (frustrated) Ah, you gotta be joking!
Pacifica: Go! Go! Go!
(They follow Pacifica into another building and she closes the doors. Dipper follows Wendy and Pacifica upstairs.)
Dipper: Come on. Up the stairs.
(They get into an empty room with a big hole in the wall. Wendy and Pacifica look down and see a bit of a drop from the hole into an alley below.)
Pacifica: (upset) Oh, shit!
Wendy: That's all right. We can make that.
Pacifica: (points to Jeff) He can't.
(Jeff as he collapses on to the floor and Dipper sets him down against a table on its side.)
Dipper: Oh no you don't...
Jeff: (weak) I can't...
Dipper: C'mon, Jeff.
Wendy: (serious) Okay, you tried, but it's over. He can't go any further.
Dipper: (determined) We can't just leave him here to die!
Wendy: He is as good as dead already and so are we if we don't go now!
Dipper: Then go!
Pacifica: (frustrated) Yeah, nobody's stopping you!
(Suddenly they hear voices in the building. Wendy stands in front of them near the door.)
Wendy: (angry and sad) I was just trying to save your skin, you idiot!
(She holds up her gun and points it at Dipper. Dipper and Pacifica and shocked. Two soldiers along with Rumble enter the room.)
Rumble: (confused) Wendy? What is this?
Wendy: I'm sorry...
(She stands behind Rumble and his men as they point their weapons at Dipper and Pacifica.)
Rumble: (stern) Drop the guns. Seriously.
(They hesitantly throw their guns to the floor. Rumble grabs Wendy and hands her to a soldier.)
Rumble: Get her out of here. Take her to the train.
(Wendy looks back at Dipper as the soldier leads her out of the room. Rumble turns to Dipper.)
Rumble: Unbelievable. You just can't help yourself, can you?
Dipper: (glares) Guess that makes us even.
Rumble: Not quite.
(He gestures to the door. A tall man in shades and a dark green uniform walks in followed by Ivan himself. Dipper and Pacifica get really nervous as it's their first time meeting him. Ivan walks up to Dipper who gets a good look as his bald, pale, scarred face.)
Ivan: (laughs menacingly) So, this little man is Drake, hm? You've proven to be quite the opponent, but now your luck has run out.
(He sees the Phurba dagger in Dipper's pocket and pulls it out. Dipper is too hesitant to do anything.)
Ivan: (fascinated) This seems important. (to the man behind him) Hold on to this, Lieutenant.
(The lieutenant takes the dagger. Ivan walks past Dipper and looks down at Jeff who looks very still. Pacifica is terrified.)
Ivan: Did you really carry him all the way from the temple? Shame.
(He pulls out a gun and shoots Jeff dead. Pacifica starts to get down next to him.)
Pacifica: (shocked) No -!
Ivan: Ah-ah-ah-ah.
(Ivan holds the gun at Pacifica's head and she slowly stands again. He then turns back to Dipper.)
Ivan: (stern) Now. Tell me what you found in the temple.
Dipper: (struggling with bravery) The answer that you're looking for. Okay? I know where the Stone is. But you're not gonna find it without me. (points to Pacifica) So just let her go, and I will lead you right to it.
(Ivan sees Pacifica's ID on her belt.)
Ivan: (laughs menacingly) Ah. My shadow. You are the reporter who's been biting at my heels. You better pray that he is not bluffing. (to Rumble) Search him.
(Rumble gets behind Dipper and feels his pockets. Dipper gets annoyed. Rumble finds the map of the Himalayas with the X marked at the location of Shambala.)
Rumble: (laughs) That is brilliant, mate. Here.
(He gives the map to Ivan who grins at Dipper.)
Ivan: You are noble to lend me your assistance for your friend's sake. But it appears you have nothing to bargain with, Mr. Drake.
(Dipper just sulks. Ivan speaks into a radio.)
Ivan: All units return to the staging ground. Our objective is complete. Prepare to move out. (puts radio away) Lieutenant, come with me. McSkirmish, take care of them.
Rumble: (grins evilly) No problem.
(Ivan leaves the room with the lieutenant leaving Dipper and Pacifica with Rumble and the remaining soldier. Pacifica crouches down and looks at Jeff.)
Pacifica: (upset) How can you work for that monster?
Rumble: (smugly) Beats working against him, love.
Dipper: (agitated) So that's it, huh? You're just going to mow us down in cold blood?
Rumble: Looks that way, doesn't it? (to Pacifica) Get up. I said get up!
(Pacifica jumps up and punches Rumble in the face really hard. He loses his focus on her.)
Pacifica: Run!
(Dipper punches the soldier in the face before he can react and runs after Pacifica out the hole in the wall.)
Rumble: Stop them!
(Dipper and Pacifica land in the alley below and take off as their enemies fire from behind.)
So, Jeff's dead, Wendy abandoned them and they finally met Ivan who took their tools to find Shambala. What will become of this?
