Scene 3- Double Shot
Setting: The staircases are removed from the Bridge, and the table is brought back out, possibly by uncostumed actors playing CHRIS and SEAN, as well as the barstools, and a few shot glasses are placed on the bar, filled with water. The Bridge is also moved to the front, and the Street on Mars backdrop is dropped down behind.
(SHADOW enters center, and SWITCH enters left, running to her)
SWITCH (in distress)
Shadow, oh my god…
SHADOW
What?
SWITCH
Talena… Spike… Vicious… they're all… They're all dead.
SHADOW
How did this happen? I was just…
SWITCH
A Tiger assassin… They killed him, but they died too…
SHADOW
I've got to go take revenge.
SWITCH
I think you should… I don't know. Go get a drink, think things over. Get a plan formed, then destroy.
SHADOW
Yeah… That sounds good. I'll go do that.
(SHADOW staggers off and exits right)
SWITCH
That was easy. She'll destroy the Tigers for us, then she'll only be one to get rid of instead of millions. Oh good, I'll be back early to help Blade with his next step…
(SWITCH exits left. SHADOW enters bridge right, and ROCK enters bridge left. SHADOW sits at the right end of the bar, ROCK at the center. ROCK takes a shot glass and knocks it back, and then another, as if drinking heavily. SHADOW looks over at him.)
SHADOW (taking a shot)
Rock… you heard?
ROCK (speaking as though kind of drunk)
Heard aaabout what?
SHADOW
That Vicious and Talena were killed.
ROCK
Oh, they're not dead yet, Blade said he wasn't gonna kill Talena unless…
SHADOW
What? Unless what?
ROCK
Oh, unless she wouldn't marry him. He needs the legitimate power…
SHADOW
And Vicious?
ROCK
Oh, he's not gonna kill Vicious for a while. Got something planned about that.
SHADOW
Like… what?
ROCK
Oh, he's gonna make that… Spike… choose, him or that muscle guy. Course he's gonna kill all three, he just wants ta make em feel bad. Revenge n all that.
SHADOW
Thanks, Rock. (to an imaginary bartender, taking a bill of a pocket) I'll pay for those.
(Exit bridge left)
