LEAVING PART 2
MANTICORE
Mr. White is pacing back and forth as Madame X is sitting at her desk watching White and getting irrated that she can't go back to her office.
White: "Any contact from Lydecker yet?"
Madame X: "No, but he said because of the size of the town and the troops he has it might be days before we hear anything."
White: "Yeah but they could still slip through our fingers. This isn't a foolproof plan but I may have one." (Looks at Madame X)
Madame X: "We could send them out but they aren't ready yet."
White: "Not them. Brin."
Madame X: "OK. (Hits the intercom) Will X5-734 please come to my office."
White and Madame X look at each other and smile.
OPENING CREDITS
LOGAN'S
Lydecker still has a gun aimed at Logan's head as Bling is aiming his gun at Lydecker with Max and Syl in fighting stance looking at Lydecker. No one is moving a muscle.
Lydecker: "Listen we are in a stalemate. We can work this out and everyone could be safe. You trusted me months ago, and you can trust me again. Think about it. You could all be at Manticore right now."
All three look at each other as Logan is turning blue from lack of oxygen. Finally someone moves.
Max: "Keep you gun on him, Bling, but let's listen to what he has to say."
Lydecker releases Logan who falls to the floor catching his breath before getting up and going to the table where Max and Syl are now sitting as Lydecker walks over and sits down.
Lydecker: "We have a new director at Manticore that is hell bent on getting all of you guys together dead or alive. He is even going to use the captured X-5's against you. And apparently he wants something with Logan as well."
Logan: "Yeah, I screwed him a couple of years ago with my friend. So what does this have to do with anything?"
Lydecker: "Here is my proposition. I can sneak you out of the city because they will clamp down harder if I don't find you. And in exchange all you have to give me are two things. One is a vial of blood from Syl and second a dead body."
Everyone looks at each other.
JAM PONY
Everyone is running around as soldiers and police officers are running into the place tearing everything apart. Normal approaches the man in charge.
Normal: "What the hell is going on?"
Officer: "We are looking for a couple of suspects at this time. The city is shut down and all you people are to stay here until further notice."
Normal: "I have a business to run here. You can't just..."
The officer grabs Normal by the neck and pushes him against the wall while everyone looks on.
Officer: "You will do what I say or else."
Normal shakes his head yes as the officer releases the hold. Another solider comes up with some of Max's stuff from her locker.
Officer 2: "Sir, we have some articles here with an address of her place of residence."
Officer: "Good move out. You two stay here until I call again. (Speaking into mic) All units positive ID on suspect place of residence. All converge now to check point 1 for instructions."
Everyone leaves except for the two officers who stand guard at the door.
LOGAN'S
Everyone is still staring at each other not saying anything until Max finally speaks up.
Max: "What do you mean a dead body?"
Lydecker: "They will need proof that I got you one way or another and a photo won't do. Either one of you has to die or we have to come up with a different plan. Then I could get you out of the city for now just in exchange for the blood but they will continue to be on your trail."
Max: "Syl, give Mr. Lydecker a vial of your blood. Then, Lydecker get us the hell out of here."
Lydecker: "Fine. Here, Syl, (handing her the vial) you can do it yourself. Now we have to get rid of the soldiers except for those two over there. They can be trusted and will do what I say."
Lydecker gets up and wakes up the soldiers who are looking around for anyone. Lydecker points to the door.
Lydecker: "I want you to go to police headquarters and wait there until further orders."
Soldiers: "Yes, sir."
The soldiers leave as Syl comes back with a full vial and hands it to Lydecker. Lydecker takes it and sits down with hands on his head trying to think about what to do next when Logan comes up with an idea.
Logan: "All you need is a dead body. Why don't we take a body and burn it beyond recognition. Then they can't say anything."
Lydecker: "That could work or backfire. I don't know if we still have dental records on file. But maybe if we...Do you have a computer, Mr. Cale."
Logan: "Follow me."
Both men get up from the table and go into the computer room as Max, Syl and Bling sit at the table looking at each other.
OC& MAX'S APARTMENT
The soldiers approach the door with guns drawn ready for anything. One kicks down the door as the other soldiers go in with guns drawn and searching everywhere but not finding anyone. Then they start to search the apartment for any clues, when one comes across a prescription that he shows his commanding officer who smiles. He picks up his mic
Soldier: "Commander to Col. Lydecker please come in."
Lydecker: "What is it?"
Soldier: "We have a positive ID. We have some medicine here that shows the suspect has been here at some point. Any orders please."
Lydecker: "Stay where you are until further notice. We have a possible sitting but we want to confirm. Everyone stay where you are. Lydecker out."
The soldiers close the door and look out the window on the city below.
LOGAN'S
Lydecker is copying some information down as Logan is on the telephone with a friend of his and smiles when he gets off the phone.
Logan: "I think we have one."
Lydecker: "That's good. I have the information I need right here. We can get the body back here and tattoo it. Then leave the body somewhere where they can find it. I will take care of the rest."
Logan: "Bling come here. Go down to the hospital through the backdoor. Give the nurse this message and she will take care of the rest."
Bling takes the papers and leaves for the hospital.
HOSPITAL
Bling arrives at the backdoor of the hospital where a nurse is waiting. He shows her two papers and they both walked inside where there is a body on the table. She looks at the papers Bling gave to her and signs some papers by her desk before handing the papers back to Bling.
Nurse: "She is cleared to leave. Give Logan this and tell him I said hi."
Bling picks up the body while putting the papers in his pocket and walks out to the car where he puts the body inside before driving off.
LOGAN'S
Bling pulls up out front and carries the body upstairs where Lydecker is waiting with some equipment. Bling puts the body down and Lydecker starts to put the barcode of Jondy on the person's neck. After 20 minutes Lydecker is finished and stands up.
Lydecker: "Well that's it. I have your blood with me, Syl; I have a body so that means business is done. Thank you for your help."
Lydecker gets one of his soldiers to pick up the body and leave the apartment as Max, Syl, Logan and Bling look on.
MAX ON THE SPACE NEEDLE
I don't know if Lydecker did what he said he was going to do but the soldiers left town and everything is back to normal except for Logan and me. I don't know what to do with him. He has saved my butt and my families butt so many times maybe I should do something for him.
MANTICORE
Lydecker walks into the office with a vial of blood.
Lydecker: "I have the blood here but we couldn't get the body back here. It was too dangerous for transport but I do have a picture here before we burned it."
Lydecker shows the picture to Mr. White who is sitting behind the desk and he smiles.
White: "Good work, Lydecker. Now take a break for a little while."
Lydecker leaves as White picks up the phone and dials.
