Dr. Wesley: He found them. I don't know how...but he found them. He's on his way here.

Frank looks at Cynthia, then at the doctor

Frank:"How much time do we have?"

Cryonix Mon Feb 20, 2012 2:47 pm

Dr. Wesley: A half hour...maybe less.

Cynthia hurries back to her parents' room, and starts detaching them from various equipment.

Cynthia: It's time to go....

Cryonix Mon Feb 20, 2012 2:58 pm

Margret: C....Cynthia....what...what's happening?

Pockets Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:01 pm

Cynthia: You're not hidden any more. Sexton is coming with his friends. Frank and I are taking you someplace safe. How are you with walking on your own? Just to the car....

Cryonix Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:05 pm

Cynthia's dad stands and from his coat pocket...he produces a gun...

Cynthia's Dad: I'll hold them off. You guys get out of here.

Pockets Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:07 pm

Cynthia: Father, no! That will just attract unwanted attention. And if we have friends here, so do they. Let's just leave while we can without confrontation.

Cryonix Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:11 pm

Cynthia's Dad: Won't be no confrontation if he's dead. I'm tired of running...and hiding. This ends today.

He tries to get up off the bed under his own power....and can't.

Pockets Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:13 pm

Cynthia: I'll get you a wheelchair.

She hurries out of the room and begins looking around frantically.

Cryonix Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:18 pm

A voice...

Voice: Well, well, well. There is my wife....

Pockets Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:19 pm

Cynthia freezes.

Cynthia: I have no idea who you are talking to. Although I will be married soon, I am not a married woman as of right now.

Cryonix Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:21 pm

Voice: Oh, Cynthia. You know that's a lie. We have a loving marriage.....blah, blah, blah. Either way.....you belong to me.

Pockets Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:24 pm

Cynthia: I do not belong to you. Any "ownership" you had over me ended with your actions.

Jabberwocky Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:26 pm

Franco, the man guarding Cynthias parents stumbles into the room and falls to his knees. He stares at Cynthia

Franco:"Run, you fools..."

his body falls forward with a thud

Pockets Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:31 pm

Cynthia doesn't move.

Cynthia: Frank, take my parents and go. I'll be along shortly.

Jabberwocky Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:41 pm

Frank looks down at the seemingly lifeless body of Franco, then over at Cynthia

Frank:"This is no time for a domestic dispute Cynthia."

Pockets Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:43 pm

Cynthia speaks through clenched teeth.

Cynthia: I'm buying you and my parents time. GO!

Cryonix Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:46 pm

Voice: Oh...so this must be him. The yeoman barkeep who's 'stolen your heart'. Heh....my men were right. He does look like that poor father of yours. Must be something there...

Pockets Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:48 pm

Cynthia: Leave him out of this. Why do you insist on doing this? I'm sure it must take far less effort to simply find someone else to hang off of your arm.

Cryonix Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:52 pm

Voice: I'm sure it would be...however...you father signed a contract. He is a Skull. He must honor it. You ....are...mine....and there is naught to be done about it.

Pockets Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:53 pm

Cynthia: A contract which you broke long before I did.

Jabberwocky Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:55 pm

Frank stares at Cynthia, then walks out the door to the side leaving behind her parents and her in the room

Frank:"Be right back."

Cryonix Mon Feb 20, 2012 8:13 pm

Voice: How exactly did I break contract? Sleeping with someone else? That was never apart of my side of the contract. I could sleep with whomever I wanted. Read the contract.

Pockets Mon Feb 20, 2012 8:15 pm

Cynthia: I never even saw the contract. Father signed it. Come to think of it, outside of the marriage vows... which you broke... I never agreed to any of this.
