Inside Golda.
Hobbes is driving. Darien is sitting in the passenger's seat, while the boy is sitting in the middle.
Fawkes:
"(sarcastically) So what's the plan fearless leader?"
Hobbes:
"(slightly agitated) The plan, my friend is to get back to HQ and report to the Fat Man."
Fawkes rolls his eyes at the last statement and looks out the window.
Outside the Agency.
Hobbes gets out of Golda. Darien opens his door and helps the boy out. They start walking towards the Agency.
Fawkes:
"Hobbes can you check in with the Fat Man while I take the kid here down to the Keep to get checked out?"
Hobbes:
"Alright Fawkes, but make it quick. You know how the chief gets when he has to wait."
Enter the Keep.
The door slides open, Darien and the boy enter. No one else is present.
Fawkes:
"Well, I guess we'll just wait here for a little while till either the Keeper or Hobbes show up."
The boy says nothing at this. Darien looks around awkwardly, obviously trying to think.
Fawkes:
"So…do you have name?"
The Boy:
"Michael."
Fawkes:
"Well pleased to meet you Michael."
Darien sticks his hand out to Michael to shake, but the boy doesn't respond to Darien's invitation.
Fawkes:
"So….Michael. How old are you?"
Michael:
"Ten."
An awkward silence follows………The door to the Keep swings open. Claire enters.
The Keeper:
"Hello Darien."
Before Darien has the opportunity to respond Claire notices Michael sitting near Darien. She walks towards him and kneels down in front of him.
The Keeper:
"(cheerfully) And who do we have here?"
Fawkes:
"Oh…uh…this is Michael."
The Keeper:
"(cheerfully) Well Hello Michael, my name is Claire."
The door to the Keep opens. Hobbes walks in.
Hobbes:
"Hey Fawkes. The Fat Man wants to see you in his office. Pronto."
Fawkes:
"(slightly annoyed) Hobbes can't it wait?"
Hobbes:
"(to be said quickly) As a matter of fact it can not….I've been up there for the past half hour covering your butt my friend, I promised the Fat Man that you'd be in his office ASAP and Bobby Hobbes is not take'n the heat for this one."
Darien sighs and walks out of the Keep. The door closes behind him.
