* Begin Scene *
* Katastrophe had never enjoyed Montreal before now. Part of that, she new, was just that she had needed to escape Calgary, and equally important, the rest of the crew. She sighed, realizing that despite how she had felt when she had left, she really missed them. All of them. That, coupled with the uncertainty of not having a headquarters if they we’re to decide to re-form, had made her time away from her home seem… distracting. She enjoyed being away, but she was not able to shake a feeling.
At least she had been able to see some of her family. On her way home from the gathering now, she looked forward to getting back to the hotel and being able to…
She halted. Something was wrong.
She was being followed.
There was no mistaking it. She had learned to trust her instincts since joining the B.a.Dcrew last year, and this was a strong one. And there was no one around on this quiet street. She turned around and grabbed…
And found herself holding a man, no more than 25, up against a brick wall of a building. In spite of herself, Katastrophe found herself strangely attracted to the man who had been following her. *
Well, lucky day! I’ve gone and found myself a friend. Are you stalking me? Because that would be super.
Stalker: WAIT!!! I’m sorry, I followed you… I only wanted to…
* Katastrophe noticed his French accent. *
So you WE’RE following me. This better be because my sweater cows look really good in this shirt.
Stalker: … are you Katastrophe?
* Startled that anyone knew of her alias, she took a knife out of her pocket and pressed it up against his neck. *
Be REAL sure you wanna know my name, sweet cakes.
* The man remained calm despite the knife to his throat. *
Stalker: I only just found out that you we’re in town. My name is Demetrius Tate. I came to give you a message.
Easy to say that when I’ve got you pinned up against the wall with a knife to your throat.
Tate: You have to turn B.a.D in to the Canadian government
… what?
Tate: Turn B.a.D and the rest of you can walk.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Tate: If you don’t turn B.a.D in, we will arrest all of you instead.
* Katastrophe went white. *
Tate: It’s true. Just listen to me. Get that knife away from me.
* Katastrophe put down the knife but did not let her guard down. *
Why the hell would the Canadian government want to arrest B.a.D after he saved Canada last year?
Tate: The United States is putting pressure on us to give him up.
G.g.B...
* Tate nodded. *
Tate: Yes. He is saying to the world that B.a.D is responsible for freeing O.s.H. The Canadian government is going arrest him and put on trial. If he is found guilty, we will give him up to the U.S.
* Katastrophe winced. *
How do you know this?
Tate: Because I work for Stephen Harper. And I am delivering this message.
So then tell Harper to get some BALLS. No one is giving anybody up.
Tate: IF Harper doesn’t do this, G.g.B will invade Canada like he did last year. Harper DOES NOT WANT to give up B.a.D, and if he is found innocent, there will be no problem.
Why just B.a.D? Why do the rest of us get to walk?
Tate: Because B.a.D is the leader, and because they know that B.a.D WILL turn himself in if he can save his friends. If not, then all of you will go down, and he won’t have that.
* Katastrophe lowered the knife entirely. *
… so you’re telling me this. What do you expect me to do? What do you expect us to do?
Tate: Turn B.a.D in. I wish there was another way. But this really is the best chance he has, and the best chance there is for the rest of you.
* He turns around and straightens his coat before he walks away. *
Tate: Get the B.a.Dcrew back together. Give B.a.D the message. He can end this and save Canada if he turns himself in.
* He walks away.
As he looked back and smiled ruefully at Katastrophe, she realized that now her world had become even more complicated. Now it was not a question of whether the B.a.Dcrew would get back together… now it was a question as to how she could make that happen, to save their friend, B.a.D. *
* Fade out. *
* Fade into Demetrius Tate walking down the street. He did not feel good about what he had just done, but he was just following orders. He was fairly certain that if B.a.D accepted the offer, that he would not in fact make it to trial. He wished there was something he could do about it, but he didn’t think there was.
He had a great respect for B.a.D and what he had done for the world, but so many people thought otherwise. And Canada was his first love, and if doing this was the only way, then Demetrius was fairly certain he could live with that.
Not entirely certain, however… he realized as he turned the street corner. *
* Fade in to Stephen Harper in his office. The phone rings, he picks it up. *
Harper: Yes?
Secretary: He’s on the line. He’s asking to speak with you.
Harper: Put him on.
* The phone clicks. *
Harper: Yes, Mr. President?
… is it done?
Harper: I had my best man deliver the message. It should be done by now, yes.
Good work. When do you turn him over to us?
Harper: As soon as he turns himself in.
I understand. I won’t wait too long, though. You’re smart enough to know that, right?
Harper: Sir… are you actually going to put him on a fair trial? Or are you just going to kill him?
That’s none of your concern after you release him into our custody. But remember that this is the man that unleashed O.s.H on the world and tell me if either scenario would be such a tragedy.
* Harper did now have words, and he could almost feel G.g.B grinning through the phone. He felt, he SENSED evil… even through the phone. Could what B.a.D and his friends had been saying about G.g.B be true after all? *
Call me when you’re releasing him to us. Remember what it means for you if this doesn’t go down right.
* He hangs up the phone and turns his chair to face the window.
He hated what he was doing. He had gone over it 100 times in his head. He knew that B.a.D and his friends we’re responsible for saving Canada from G.g.B last year… and he believed the B.a.Dcrew was a force for good.
But to protect the nation he was the Prime Minister of, and to protect the country that meant more to him than anything in the world, he would have to give B.a.D up. There was nothing else that could be done, no way around it.
G.g.B had made that quite clear to him.
He rubbed at his eyes. He knew he would never be forgiven for what he felt he had to do, but he did hope that he would be given some peace. *
