Duke walks down to the basement of the Pitt. Scarlet is sitting in the small room looking into the computer. The screen fills with numbers and alphabets with no spaces between them. The radio is making clicking sounds. Numbers and alphabets keep rolling as Scarlet stares blankly. "Are you still working for the Interpol intelligence?" Duke asks.
"I can work for whoever I choose!" Scarlet says. Duke says, "I am not disapproving your working for them…" Scarlet barks at him before he finishes, "so I need your approvals when I make chooses? I know you hate Interpol, but that doesn't mean you can come in and give me faces every time I do their assignment!" Duke is mad and says, "I was just coming to check on you."
"Well, I'm fine and I want to be alone. If there is nothing else I would like to go back to my Interpol work." Scarlet says coldly as she turns around and looks at the screen. The numbers and alphabets roll again follows by the clicking sound. "Now that you mention it, there is something else. I had receive considerable amount of complains regarding your mistreatments toward other Joes."
"I can't get them to do things right the nice way, so I do it the hard way. They are much better than before. Aren't they?" Scarlet says, still looks at the computer. Duke replies frustrated, "they are just normal human being." Scarlet stands up and says, "are you implying that I am abnormal and inhuman? You know, if you have something to say just say it. I have work to do."
"All I want to say is that you are relieved from training duty as of this moment. Report to my office when you finish with your work form Interpol." Duke storms out without turning his head. Three hours later, Flint comes in. Scarlet is still looking at the computer. Flint sits next to her and asks, "hey, are you okay? I heard Duke assigned your training duty to Snake Eyes."
"Leave me alone. I work down here in the basement because I don't want to be disturbed." Scarlet says. Flint says, "I'm worried about you, I want to sure you are alright." Scarlet smiles and says, "thank you, Flint." Flint hugs her and says, "we all have bad moments. Everything will be okay." Scarlet presses herself onto Flint and says, "I know you like me. Admit it." Flint is stunned.
"What are you doing?" Flint scorns. Scarlet kisses him. Flint is too shocked to move. Lady Jane walks in and sees them. Flint pushes Scarlet away and says, "Jane!" Lady Jane turns around and says, "don't talk to me." Flint chases Lady Jane as she runs away. Scarlet turns around and sits down in front of the computer again.
The next day Duke goes down to the basement again. Scarlet is still looking at the rolling numbers and alphabets. "Just how long are you planning to look at those codes?" Duke asks her. Scarlet just sits there. Duke pulls her up and barks, "I have had enough of your deranged eccentric behaviors! You are going to go up there and start looking for Cobra!"
A guy comes in and says, "get your hands off her. Who the hell are you?" The guy puts his hand on Scarlet's shoulder. Duke answers furiously, "I am her fiancée." The guy replies rudely, "That means that you two are not marry yet. Back off. Shana is not going anywhere until she finishes here." Duke pushes him away and shouts, "who are you?"
"Agent Maxwell from Interpol. If you push me again, you will be so sorry." Maxwell says. Duke crosses his arms and says, "I always detested Interpol snobs. You are not welcome here so leave." Maxwell leaves and Duke looks at Scarlet madly, "Know this. You are a Joe before you are an Interpol. Get your priority straight."
Scarlet bangs on the table and says, "I worked for Interpol long before I work for you! You are more snobby than them if you ask me!" Duke storms out and bellows, "How dare you comparing me to those power manipulating lurkers!" Scarlet takes a deep breath and returns to her work. Cover Girl comes in and says, "I just bomb into Duke. He looks mad."
"You bomb into him? Give me a break! You just want to get a cheap feel out of him! You jezebel! Don't you think I know how you always try to take him from me? You wish you can be as good as me." Scarlet laughs at her. Cover Girl swallows that and says, "don't do this, Scarlet. I come here to help. Everyone is mad at you already. Hawk will transfer you away."
"You are all just jealous of me. Frankly, none of you can be as good as me. Especially you! You are just a pretty face without a brain." Scarlet says. Cover Girl hates people to think of her that way. "I can't believe you just say that!" Cover Girl says. Scarlet says coldly, "Look at you! You are clueless as Playboy centerfold and all you know is how to use your look to get everything from the guys." Cover Girl cries and says, "I never do that!"
"Every time you can't win you just cry. Your tears don't work on me! You think I don't know you throwing yourself at Duke behind my back?" Scarlet says. "How dare you accuse me like that! You can rot in here for all I care! I will go comfort Duke with my jezebel charm." Cover Girl storms away and shouting. Scarlet turns back to her computer.
Lightly, Scarlet starts sobbing.
