LANGLY AND FROHIKE'S ROOM, PARADISE PARK RESORT HOTEL [present day]
21:45

Langly protested the new plan. It did't make sense, sure he'd do anything for their cause but not this! he thought. Frohike, on the other hand, laughed at the idea. Absolutely absurd, but that doesn't stop them from doing it. They've done things before that were beyond decency, and another round of embarassment won't hurt, he reckoned.

"No way man!" slashed Langly. "Why not Mr. Las Islas here," he referred to Jimmy.

"Langly, you're a 32-year old virgin, this is your chance to score," teased Frohike.

"Yeah right, Mr. Ladies Man. I heard you're not getting any boinking either," said Langly sarcastically.

Jimmy tried not to laugh, but the idea of Frohike and Langly on the auction block were too funny. He was able to let out a few spasmodic sounds in response.

"You too Jimmy," added Byers.

"Huh?" said Jimmy, "why me?" he stopped giggling. "Can I just be an auctioneer or something? You know, the one who talks really, really, really, really, fast? Like the one in the commercial."

All three gunmen looked in his direction in unison. All seemed to question his ability but did not say anything. They noticed that Jimmy suddenly looked confused.

"I-I don't know what to do," he said.

"Just be yourself. Trust me. You'll fit perfectly well," reassured Byers.




COMPUTER CONVENTION, LAS VEGAS HILTON
7:45

Frohike and Jimmy was filling up the application form Booth 46 handed over to the volunteers. All interested bachelors were required to give information such as first name, last name, date of birth, interests, and other relevant facts about themselves. These information will be used to create a profile for the prospective bidder and will also determine their eligibility. Jimmy was holding several copies of the application because he's not sure what name to use.

"I was thinking of using my true name Bond, James Bond," he told Frohike. "It has that sophisticated appeal. Don't you think so?" he asked. "Plus, my name is a perfect undercover name," he added, pretty proud of himself.

Frohike didn't reply. Instead, he stared blankly at him for a second then continued writing his vitae. Frohike definitely doesn't want to use his own name. The number one rule in spying was under no circumstances, reveal your true identity. He was thinking of his favorite author's name--the world reknowned conspiracy theorist, Beresford Jones Dune. Only the foremost thinkers knew this author and what a shrewd way of hiding his identity. Frohike smiled satisfactorily.

Jimmy looked over Frohike's paper. "Hey, we have the same initials!" said Jimmy excitedly. "Well, almost... Mine is J.B. for James Bond." He examined Frohike's paper intently, "You had yours the other way around, B.--"

Frohike covered Jimmy's mouth before he can spell the rest of his undercover name. He decided that it was not a good idea. He released his hand off Jimmy and hurriedly crossed out the name.

"--Dune," Jimmy finished what he was saying. "What?"

"Just shut up, okay?" said Frohike. He reckoned that it was the worst part of the application form. He moved to the next line: Age.



COMPUTER CONVENTION, LAS VEGAS HILTON

"Look Byers, I still don't understand why all three of us will be doing this. Why not just Jimmy and Frohike?" asked Langly, still having second thoughts whether to go through with it or not. He's also trying to convince Byers that joining the auction was a bad idea. "And who's gonna check for the profiles in the computer, huh?" he added.

"I will," said Yves. The svelte beauty walked towards them. "Langly, I heard you and the boys will be auctioned today? I wonder who will be foolish enough to bid?" she smiled wryly.

Langly smirked.

"Don't worry Yves, I'm sure some hot-blooded blonde girl will be happy to shell a few thousand bucks for me," he said.

From that moment, Langly need not be persuaded anymore. He wanted to prove Yves and to the guys that Langly was the gunman to beat. He went to where Jimmy and Frohike was and grabbed an extra form sheet from Jimmy. "Give me that," he said, and started writing.

Yves cannot stomach what Langly just said, a few thousand bucks? Get real!, Yves thought and rolled her eyes in protest. Even she wouldn't be caught dead bidding for him.
