CHAUNCY walks out of the house and gets back into his car. He spins tires to back the car out of the front yard as it was almost stuck in the mud and dirt.
He drives away, heading back to the HD shop.
INT. LISA'S APARTMENT
LISA walks over to her front door and opens it to let REBECCA in. She gives her a hug and looks both ways outside of the door as if she was checking to make sure REBECCA wasn't followed. LISA then closes and locks the door
LISA
Girl you sounded really shook on the phone, what is going on?
REBECCA
I don't know, CHAUNCY somehow found out I was pregnant, and he knows I was cheating
LISA
You were cheating? Why?
REBECCA
I don't know, I was stupid
LISA
So that's why you hadn't told CHAUNCY about you being pregnant... it’s not his?
REBECCA
No... I don't think so... I wasn't sure.
REBECCA starts crying. LISA hands her a hot cup of tea and holds REBECCA as she takes a sip.
LISA
Did you guys get in an argument?
REBECCA
No TRE called and told me to get out of the house, that CHAUNCY is furious and isn't himself
LISA
How the fuck is TRE involved? Did CHAUNCY seem like he isn't himself?
REBECCA
Yea, he has been strange for a while. I told you he has gotten very aggressive. And sleeping all day Something isn't right
LISA
Still how does TRE play into all this?
REBECCA
I guess he is trying to be a good friend.
Just then REBECCA's cell phone rings
REBECCA (CONT'D)
Hello?
TRE (V.O.)
Hi, I was just checking to see if you are ok
REBECCA
Yea I'm fine. I went to LISA's house. Have you seen CHAUNCY yet?
TRE (V.O.)
Yea he came home minutes after you left. I didn't go inside cause he looked to be really drunk looks like he trashed the place looking for you then left.
REBECCA starts crying
REBECCA
I really messed things up, how am I going to fix this?
REBECCA hangs up the phone.
LISA
Just give him a few days to calm down. Things will work out
LISA rubs REBECCA's back.
INT. THE PETERS RESIDENCE
TRE walked into CHAUNCY's house and took a quick look around. The place was trashed. TRE sits down on the sofa and puts his head in his hands.
TRE
This is fucked up
TRE pulls out his phone and makes a call
TRE (CONT'D)
Man, this has gotten out of hand
MICHAEL (V.O.)
Tracy, listen to me... You need to figure something out.
TRE
I know, I know
MICHAEL (V.O.)
Pull yourself together. Find a solution
TRE
Ok your right. I'm got this
TRE hangs up and stands. He takes a deep breath and walks out of the house. He gets in his car and drives away.
EXT. The HD SHOP PARKING LOT
CHAUNCY pulls up into the parking lot of the HD shop. A few hours have gone by and he has sobered a little, but he is still furious. He gets out of the car and go to the trunk
RODNEY
What are you doing here MR. Peters?
CHAUNCY
What are you doing here?
CHAUNCY looks at RODNEY with such anger and RODNEY dares not say the wrong thing.
RODNEY
Remember sir, I was doing security for the store?
CHAUNCY
I need you to do something for me. Cause I think I'm about to do something bad.
RODNEY
MR. Peters...?
CHAUNCY
Here are a set of keys. This is the key to the garage where we use to do radio installs. If you get a call from me tonight... or sometimes in the next few days, use this key to get into that garage and you'll know the rest.
RODNEY
Yes, sir MR. Peters.
RODNEY takes the keys then goes back into the store.
EXT. Gym Parking lot
CHAUNCY is walking towards the Gym where it looks like no one is inside.
By this time in the evening the gym is closed and the only people usually inside are employees.
CHAUNCY is Fiery mad, blowing air out of his nose and mouth like a bull. he reaches in his pocket and pulls out a Hypo vial and jams it into his leg.
This in the new batch of Hypo so the effect is a little different. He feels a sharp pain go down the side of his leg. Crippling pain that causes him to fall to his knees. He screams then looks up.
His eyes are bloodshot red with busted blood vessels and his nose has started bleeding, but he feels that warm feeling that usually occurs when the drug is starting to kick in. He slowly walks towards the gym...
CHAUNCY
Muscle man!!! You in there!!!
CHAUNCY takes off in a sprint and runs through the plate glass window. The Personal trainer sees him coming and prepares for a fight.
CHAUNCY runs towards the Personal Trainer casually grabbing a bar with about 200 pounds of weight off the weight bench... he does this with one hand as he runs by. The Personal trainer is shocked and starts to back up.
CHAUNCY swings the 200-pound barbell like a baseball bat and almost takes off the head of the personal trainer.
But he misses
The personal trainer ducks out of the way and runs down the hall.
CHAUNCY chases him. Catches up to him in what looks like 2 or 3 steps and punches him in the back, causing the personal trainer to fall to his knees.
CHAUNCY then kicks and the personal trainer goes tumbling down the stair.
CHAUNCY jumps down the flight of stairs and as soon as he lands the personal trainer charges him, lifting him off the ground.
CHAUNCY reaches up and grab the overhead railing and lifts his legs and the personal trainer, crashing him to the ceiling.
He lets him drop to the floor then lands on top of him and starts pounding him
Blood is flying everywhere, and the personal trainer is unconscious
OFFICER FORD
FREEZE CHAUNCY! Get off that man!
CHAUNCY looks back to see OFFICER FORD, OFFICER RYAN and several other police OFFICERs with guns drawn and very serious looks on their faces.
CHAUNCY
What the fuck do you think those piece of shit 9s going to do to me?
CHAUNCY slowly stands up and walks towards OFFICER FORD.
OFFICER RYAN
STAND DOWN CHAUNCY... I MEAN IT!
CHAUNCY looks at OFFICER RYAN for a second. He smiles a little then takes off in a sprint to the outside of the gym. A few shots were fired, they bounced off his arm and leg, not piercing the skin. The police follow suite but CHAUNCY is running at a speed that they can’t keep up.
A few blocks later CHAUNCY stops running and laughs. He then looks in a different direction and starts walking when he heard a voice
TRE (V.O.)
I know what you are thinking... you need to spend the night in jail.
CHAUNCY looks to see TRE standing there
CHAUNCY
Oh TRE. Have you had a shot too?
TRE
You want to find out?
Chancy charges at TRE but TRE Quickly takes CHAUNCY to the ground and injects him with a vial he had hidden in his hand.
TRE (CONT'D)
A Tranquilizer.... sort-of Like the Anti-Hypo. now you just lay here and sleep it off. When you wake up you will be in jail.
TRE walks away as CHAUNCY tries to grab him but falls to the ground, eventually passing out.
The police show up a few minutes later and cuffs CHAUNCY and takes him to jail.
INT. LISA's apartment - a hour later<
br />
TRE sits in front of LISA's apartment building, waiting on REBECCA to come out. The plan is to take REBECCA to a hotel till things blow over. After seeing CHAUNCY attacking the personal trainer, TRE figured it would be best to put REBECCA somewhere that CHAUNCY can’t find her. And CHAUNCY knows where LISA lives. While he's waiting, he decides to give MICHAEL an update.
TRE
Mike. Things has really gotten out of hand. That tranquilizer you gave me really helped out though. CHAUNCY will be spending the night or more in city jail.
MICHAEL (V.O.)
In all other situations this would be just what is needed. But there's something that I just found out.
TRE
What's that
MICHAEL
A friend of ours is also in there... unrelated to us of course.
TRE
Who?-- I gotta go, I'll catch up later
REBECCA
Ok I'm ready... are you going to explain what is going on?
TRE
CHAUNCY lost it, attacked your... Donor... Put him in the hospital.
REBECCA
CHAUNCY? He did that?
TRE
Yea he'll spend a night or 2 in jail
TRE backs the car out of the driveway then drives down the street.
INT. City Jail - the next morning
CHAUNCY wakes up not knowing what happened and where he is. The GUARD informs him that he was knocked out cold for the last 8 hours.
There is a long line for the phone, so CHAUNCY gets in the line and waits.
CHAUNCY makes a phone call to get RODNEY from the store. He gives him directions to pick up his emergency stash of money and directs him to come to the jail to bail him out.
RODNEY (V.O.)
Hello
CHAUNCY
RODNEY, ok yea I'm going to need that favor. If you use the keys I gave you, there is a car in the garage. In the back seat is a overnight bag and the keys to the car. Get enough money out of the bag to pay for my bail and come get me. Drive your car, I'll take that once you bail me out. Hurry
RODNEY (V.O.)
Ok.
After all of that is taken care of, he sits back on the bench and closes his eyes and waits.
INT. City Jail - 2 hours later.
Still waiting, he finally see's RODNEY talking to one of the police OFFICERs, signing paperwork and looking in his direction. At the same time 2 inmates are starting to argue over the phone. CHAUNCY ignores it and just waits patiently for the GUARD to come let him out.
The commotion behind CHAUNCY Grows and Grows
Inmate #1
I told you I was next! Yo ass was sleep!!
Inmate #2
Fuck you going to do. I want to make my call now!!!
Inmate #1
I bet you don't make that call!!
INMATE #2
I bet you don't make any calls partna!!
The door opens and the GUARD motions for CHAUNCY. CHAUNCY walks to the door and gives RODNEY a hug
CHAUNCY
Thanks a lot man.
RODNEY
No problem boss
The 2 inmates are arguing to the point where it’s starting to annoy everyone else. CHAUNCY takes one step away heading to the lobby when all of a sudden, he hears
UNKNOWN (V.O.)
SHUT THE FUCK UP IN THERE!!
CHAUNCY stops in his tracks
RODNEY
What's wrong?
That voice was all too clear to CHAUNCY, it was the voice of one of the Kidnappers. CHAUNCY slowly turns around to get a look and notices the long blonde and grey beard. The Bearded man sat down behind the trash can and CHAUNCY wasn't able to get a better look, but he knew that was the man.
CHAUNCY
Did you bring what I asked?
RODNEY
Yes, it’s in the car
CHAUNCY
Ok, would you mind finding another way home... leaving me your car? I'll pay you back for sure
RODNEY
Yea. I know a honey a few blocks away from here... I'll go check her out.
CHAUNCY
Thanks man
CHAUNCY gets in RODNEY's car and drive a block or so away. He parked the car in a spot where he was hidden but still had a view of the front of the police station. There was a hotdog stand close by, so he goes and gets a couple dogs and some soda in preparation of the wait.
A couple minutes turned into a few hours. CHAUNCY had fell asleep but awaken to see that it was Night time. He checked the clock to see that it 10 pm. Knowing that it was too late for anyone to be bailed out of jail and anyone inside would have to stay till the morning. CHAUNCY starts thinking of other options. He looks around and notices a hotel on the same block.
He starts the car and drives to the hotel.
INT. Hotel front desk
CHAUNCY walks in with his backpack and rings the bell at the front desk.
CHAUNCY
Can I get a room for the night? I don't care how many beds, but I would like a room facing the street.
The clerk looks at CHAUNCY for a second then walks over to the key box and pulls out a room key. He then rings up the room in on the computer
Hotel Clerk
Ok, here you go. 1 room, facing the street. $60 bucks.
CHAUNCY takes the key and walks over to the soda machine and buys a few cans of soda. He then gets his backpack and gets onto the elevator.
Once CHAUNCY gets in his room, he looks around. He heads to the window to see if he can see the front of the police station. Once he verifies that he can he walks to the bathroom and takes a shower.
After the shower he takes his phone out of his pocked and sets the alarm for 5am then lays across the bed.
He drifts off to sleep.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
CHAUNCY's phone alarm is ringing. CHAUNCY gets up and rushes to the window. He pulls up a chair. He then walks over to the counter and puts on a pot of the complimentary coffee.
More time passes when he see's someone walking towards the police station. He sits on the edge of his seat and he notices that its TRE.
CHAUNCY
He must be trying to bail me out
CHAUNCY knows that they will let him know he was bailed out yesterday, so he doesn't worry about it.
He pours a cup of coffee and sits back down in the chair by the window.
He sees TRE come out of the Police station, but he isn't alone.
CHAUNCY sits on the edge of his Chair and he sees his Kidnapper.
The long Blond and Grey beard
The Kidnapper is walking with TRE
CHAUNCY (CONT'D)
What the fuck is going on here
CHAUNCY watches for a few more minutes. Long enough to see TRE get in a cab and it drives off. The Kidnapper is still walking down the street.
CHAUNCY rushes to put on his shoes, tripping over the chair and falling to the floor. He grabs his backpack and runs out of the hotel room. Running down the stairs.
He gets outside and looks for the Kidnapper.
He catches a glance of the Kidnapper turning the corner down the street. CHAUNCY runs to try to catch up.
CHAUNCY (CONT'D)
Why is TRE bailing him out?
CHAUNCY follows the Kidnapper for a few blocks and finally the kidnapper walks into a diner.
CHAUNCY reaches into his backpack and grabs a vial of Hypo. He looks at it for a second then decides to put it in his pocket.
He stashes the backpack behind a bush and walks into the Diner.
The Kidnapper looks up and his eyes meet CHAUNCY's. CHAUNCY can tell that the Kidnapper recognizes him, but he stays calm. The Kidnapper also stays calm, averting his eyes back down to his cup of coffee.
The Kidnapper waits a second then tries to casually stand, trying to leave. Not knowing CHAUNCY had hustled to catch up when he put his focus back on the cup of coffee. The Kidnapper stopped. CHAUNCY was right in his ear. CHAUNCY had his first 2 knuckles poking into the waist of
the Kidnapper. The Kidnapper thought it was a gun, or a knife or some kind of weapon.
