[Inside the empty pool, there is now a large white van stuck in there. The front is completely crushed, the windows are smashed and there’s smoke coming out of the front while the back of the van is still balanced on top of the pool. Leigh and Gary are cowering from the other side of the pool, looking at the van.]
Gary: [panicking] What the fuck was that? What the fuck was that?
Leigh: [confused] It was a van, just… try to calm down.
Gary: [panicking] Why are you so fucking calm?
[Leigh turns and slaps Gary.]
Leigh: [yelling] I’m not, shut up!
[The two go silent, turning back to the van. They slowly step towards it.]
Gary: Think it hit him?
Leigh: [worried] I don’t know, why do you think I’m checking? Stay here.
[Gary backs up at the same speed as Leigh goes towards the van. He looks through one of the doors as it completely breaks off. He moves hesitantly closer and eventually stares through the smoke. He slowly gets a clearer view of the March Hare having Hatter in a choke hold before flinging him into the wall of the pool, knocking tiles down where his head has collided. He falls to the ground as Vince runs over and kicks him back over. Hatter rolls then kicks Vince in the stomach. Leigh goes wide eyed.]
Leigh: [surprised] Holy shit.
[On the other side of the van, Hatter is back on his feet and takes a swing at the March Hare who barely ducks under it before following with a punch in the stomach. The White Rabbit quickly runs over and then grabs Hatter by the face, swinging him into the wall. He turns to face Vince.]
White Rabbit: [calm] You go and get everybody out, we’ll take this from here.
[The Hatter takes out his gun and tries shooting at the White Rabbit. He ducks along with Vince as the bullet travels by, Vince making the tiles behind Hatter hit him in the back.]
Vince: [panicked] Well, if you say so.
[Vince turns towards the van and starts crawling through the front seats. He makes it to the other side and sees a surprised Leigh looking at him.]
Vince: [panicked] Hey buddy, we should go!
Leigh: [worried] What the fuck are they doing here?
Vince: [panicked] Dealing with the problem, just come on!
[Leigh helps Vince to crawl out the van as they move back, hearing the fight behind the van. Gary joins them as there’s a sudden loud clattering noise in the back of the van. They look worried towards it, Leigh using his power on the van and tearing open the side slightly. Vince copies Leigh and the van suddenly tears wide open, revealing a panicked Sissel covered in blood across his face, hands and chest stood over the body of Stanley. He quickly raises his hands, panicked.]
Vince: [surprised] Cecil?
Gary: [shocked] Jesus fuck.
Sissel: [panicked] I swear to fuck, I didn’t do this!
Leigh: [surprised] What are you doing here?
Sissel: [hesitant, embarrassed] Um…
[The White Rabbit goes flying through the front of the van, sliding across the bottom of the pool. Sissel looks at him, worried, as he sits up and gets back on his feet.]
Sissel: [terrified] What the fuck is he doing here?
White Rabbit: [strained] Helping.
Vince: [worried] Look, it doesn’t matter! We need to go!
Sissel: [terrifed, confused] Fucking… well come on then!
[Sissel hops out the van as the group head over to step in, the White Rabbit running over the front of the car and leaping at Hatter. Sissel looks around, then at his feet. He sees the gun. Gary goes up the van, carefully avoiding Stanley’s body. Sissel stops Leigh as he’s about to go up.]
Sissel: [worried] Where’s Chelsea? And Liv?
Leigh: [panicked] Liv got out, I think Chelsea did too.
[Sissel nods slowly.]
Sissel: [worried] Okay.
[Vince runs into the van, Sissel following behind. Vince manages to jump out of the back of the van but it falls as Sissel gets closer, the entire vehicle now inside the pool. Sissel panics, collapsing onto his back.]
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Vince: [panicked] Cecil! You okay?
[Sissel crawls out of the van, getting to his feet and looking to the group.]
Sissel: I’m fine!
Leigh: [worried] Don’t worry, mate, we’re going to get you out!
Sissel: [worried] No! No, it’s fine! Just go, I’ll be fine!
Gary: [panicked] You can’t be serious!
Vince: [panicked] Cecil, we are not leaving you!
[The Hatter and March Hare suddenly charge through, Sissel heading back into the van.]
Sissel: [yelling] Just go!
[Vince moves to go in, but Gary grabs him and pulls him back.]
Gary: [worried] He’s right, we need to go.
Vince: [angry] I am not leaving my cousin in there!
Gary: [faux-calm] Oh, well in that case…
[Gary quickly punches Vince across the face, knocking him out.]
Leigh: [angry] Gary!
Gary: [panicked] Oh, shut up! We need to go, come on! Help!
[Leigh sighs, reluctantly grabbing a hold of Vince. The two drag him out of the hole in the building. Sissel, sat inside the van, is holding the gun tightly. He looks next to him to see Goldberg equally panicked.]
Sissel: [quietly] I can’t do this, can I?
Goldberg: [panicked] You kinda have to. Hatter is very insistent, he will try whatever he can to kill them.
Sissel: [quietly] But this is-
[Goldberg quickly moves to Sissel, facing him.]
Goldberg: [panicked] Look… listen to me, you doing this would be a good thing. You would be saving a lot of innocent people. You’re sure as hell not going to sleep well at night, but you’ll have done something more important than you’d realise.
[Sissel looks to Goldberg, chuckling.]
Sissel: [quietly, angry] Is that what you said to yourself at night? Because that doesn’t fucking work for me.
[Goldberg sighs, moving to look out the van. Outside, the Hatter drags the March Hare by the hair towards the van and starts smashing her head against the van. On the second hit, he lets go of her and she falls unconscious to the ground. The White Rabbit quickly runs up behind him and kicks him into the van. He takes a piece of shrapnel from the torn up van and pulls it off, proceeding to strike it through Hatter’s left leg. He screams, the Rabbit grabbing his collar and throwing him onto his back on the floor. He stands over him as the Hatter holds his leg, proceeding to swiftly kick him in the stomach. Hatter groans, entering a mad chuckle.]
White Rabbit: [angry] You know the worst part about wasting my time here? These fucking kids aren’t even involved.
[He crouches down, grabbing Hatter by the throat and keeping him down.]
White Rabbit: [angry] You’re still as fucking crazy as ever. One thing seems wrong to you and you decided to let the world fucking burn.
[He moves on top of Hatter, his laugh becoming strained.]
White Rabbit: [angry] I saw that little stunt you pulled back there, with the bank. Think people wouldn’t be after you? You’re an idiot… a psycho, even to me, you always fucking have been.
[Hatter pushes more of a laugh out. The Rabbit drops his grip, punching the floor next to him.]
White Rabbit: [angry, yeling] What is so fucking funny?
[Hatter smiles, gasping for air.]
Hatter: Oh, you just… tickled my sides.
[Hatter quickly lunges at the Rabbit, stabbing him in the side. The Rabbit yells and falls to the ground, to which the Hatter proceeds to then quickly stab the Rabbit a few times in his leg. He pushes himself back up, chuckling.]
Hatter: Now… you wait here… I’m going to go deal with the girl.
[Hatter painfully hobbles away, groaning with each step. Inside the van, Sissel is taking slow deep breaths and hugging the gun. Goldberg is sat in front of him.]
Goldberg: He’s going. This is our chance.
Sissel: [quietly, panicked] I can’t.
Goldberg: You have to. Okay, I’m sorry, I’m genuinely sorry… but you have to.
[There’s a loud clattering over the top, the two looking up at the ceiling.]
Sissel: [quietly, panicked] Okay… oh god, okay.
