CHAPTER 10

Logan is driving the Knight Mobile with Charlie and Josaline in the passenger seat.

CHARLIE

Whew! We finally got away from those monster.

JOSALINE

But did you have to have a boner for the entire time we were being chased?

CHARLIE

Boner? I have no idea what you're talking about.

JOSALINE

Really? Then why did I feel something poking my ass?

CHARLIE

What? You're talking nonsense. You're imagining things.

Josaline turns her face towards Charlie.

JOSALINE

Imagining? I think I would know if it's nonsense or not because I'm SITTING ON YOUR FUCKING LAP!

LOGAN

Can both of you shut up!

Charlie and Josaline turns to Logan.

CHARLIE & JOSALINE

What?!

LOGAN

You heard me! How am supposed to concentrate on driving if all I hear is you two getting a hard on for each other?

Josaline gets flustered.

JOSALINE

You must be out of your mind! That is not happening at this moment!

Charlie looks disappointed.

CHARLIE

Right... That's not what's happening. (Sniff) Not at all.

LOGAN

Just stop! You're breaking my concentration.

CHARLIE

What's so hard about concentrating while driving? It's as easy as breathing or moving your body or talking or punching somebody or brushing your teeth or having sex or stealing or-

LOGAN

JUST GET TO THE DAMN POINT!

CHARLIE

OK, Mr. Grumpy. All I'm saying is, you just put your hands on the steering wheel and your feet on the pedal. Very easy if you ask me.

LOGAN

Nobody was asking you, bub.

CHARLIE

I'm just saying. It's very easy.

LOGAN

You know what else is easy?

Three blades grow from out of Logan's right hand.

LOGAN

Me slicing your throat. So I would be quiet if I were you.

Charlie gets nervous.

CHARLIE

(Gulp) You wouldn't slice a guy with glasses on, would you?

LOGAN

What are you talking about, bub? You don't where glasses.

Logan looks at Charlie and notice him wearing glasses.

LOGAN

Where'd the hell you get those glasses?

CHARLIE

It's a funny story, really. You see, it all star-

LOGAN

Don't care anymore.

Logan looks away from Charlie.

CHARLIE

(upset)

Oh man.

JOSALINE

Men... Can't live with them and I can certainly live without them.

CHARLIE

I heard that, you know.

JOSALINE

It was meant for you to hear.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

CHARLIE

(She can be so mean at times.)

Josaline looks at the sky sees something fly across the sky at a fast rate.

JOSALINE

(What was that?)

CHARLIE

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Josaline quickly looks at Charlie.

JOSALINE

What's wrong?

Josaline sees Charlie rubbing his eyes.

JOSALINE

Are you OK?

CHARLIE

My left eye! It hurts!

Logan looks at Charlie.

LOGAN

What?!

Logan sees Charlie rubbing his eye.

LOGAN

Josaline, grab the steering wheel.

JOSALINE

What?!

LOGAN

I need you to steer while I check on Charlie.

JOSALINE

I'm not sure if that's a good idea.

LOGAN

Just grab the damn wheel, woman!

JOSALINE

Fine.

Josaline grabs the steering wheel while Logan checks on Charlie. He removes Charlie's hand from his face. Charlie opens his eyes and Logan sees that Charlie's left eye is blood shot red.

LOGAN

I can't believe this.

CHARLIE

Believe what?

Logan remains silent while staring at Charlie. Josaline turns to look at Charlie for a quick. She notice Charlie's eye being blood shot red.

JOSALINE

Oh my god... Why is his eye red?!

CHARLIE

What?! My eye is red?! Which one?!

JOSALINE

The one you were just rubbing, you idiot!

Charlie snatches his wrist from Logan's grasp and looks at the right view mirror to see his reflection.

CHARLIE

W...What is going on? Why is my eye red?

LOGAN

(I see. So he's a special case.)

Charlie turns to Logan.

CHARLIE

WHY THE HELL IS MY EYE RED?!

Logan adjusts himself back in the driver seat and takes the wheel from Josaline.

CHARLIE

Logan!

Logan remains silent.

CHARLIE

LOGAN!

LOGAN

I DON'T KNOW! Now cover that shit up before I vomit!

CHARLIE

With what, asshole?!

LOGAN

Use your hand for all I care.

CHARLIE

I'm not going to cover my eye with my hand for the entire time just so I can please your ass.

JOSALINE

Both of you stop arguing! We don't need this right now!

Charlie and Logan stopped arguing and Charlie looks away from Logan.

JOSALINE

Don't worry, Charlie. I got something to help cover up that eye of yours.

Josaline takes out an eye patch from out her pants pocket.

JOSALINE

Here...

CHARLIE

Why do you have an eye patch in your pocket?

JOSALINE

I...uh...always carry an eye patch with me.

CHARLIE

For what reason?

JOSALINE

What is this, a million questions? Just take the damn eye patch and be thankful.

CHARLIE

...Thanks.

Josaline hands the eye to Charlie and Charlie puts it on, covering his left eye.

JOSALINE

You make everything so complicated, you know?

CHARLIE

I wouldn't be me if I didn't.

MAN'S VOICE

Did you complete your objective?

CHARLIE

What was that?

LOGAN

Shit!

Logan reaches into his pants pocket and pulls out his cell phone. He hits a button and puts the phone to his ear.

CHARLIE

Who are you talking to?

LOGAN

(on the phone)

Yeah. - I have it right here.

CHARLIE

(That voice sounds so familiar.)

LOGAN

(on the phone)

It's taken care of. - Yes. - Understood.

Logan hangs up and puts the phone back into his pocket.

CHARLIE

Who was that?

LOGAN

My boss.

CHARLIE

Your boss? I didn't know you had a job.

LOGAN

Need one to maintain a living.

CHARLIE

Where do you work?

LOGAN

Irrelevant.

CHARLIE

What?

LOGAN

That's irrelevant.

CHARLIE

Why?

LOGAN

There's no need for you to know.

CHARLIE

OK. What were you guys talking about?

LOGAN

Don't worry about it. Everything is taken care of.

CHARLIE

Taken care of?

LOGAN

You two better hold on to something because I'm about to go "Speed Racer" up in this bitch.

Logan stomps on the gas pedal and the Knight Mobile shot down the road.

(Meanwhile)

A man is in a building and he hangs up the phone.

KINDRA

Is everything alright, sir?

MAN

Is everything alright?

The man smiles.

MAN

Everything is better than alright. My plan is moving into fruition so perfectly, I can taste the success in the air.

KINDRA

I am pleased that you are satisfied with the flow of things, Mr. Breao.

MR. BREAO

Soon Kindra...no one will be able to stop me. This world will be mine.
