FAMILY COMES FIRST

 

In the backstage office of Lance Norman, Kaylyn James Evans walks in stunned. The look on her face is that of complete bemusement as she approaches the Chairman.

“He’s your son?” she blurts out. “All this time and you didn’t say anything?”

“I couldn’t Kaylyn. I didn’t even know for sure until recently and hell, even my wife doesn’t know yet.”

She shakes her head.

“And to make matters worse you’re not even going to press charges? Rain and Jensen Cussen deserve everything they get for what they did to your son last week. How is Mason, is he okay?”

Lance pats her on the shoulder as a thank you for caring.

“He’s a little shaken up but he’s a tough kid.”

Kaylyn follows him over to the desk and makes her case for Rain and Jensen Cussen to get their just deserts.

“You can’t let them get away with it you know. You have the footage from last week right? It’s stored in the production truck isn’t it? Why don’t you call the police and hand that over, at least that way they’ll be able to do something like arrest those assholes.”

Lance shakes his head.

“I don’t think I can,” he says with a sigh. “What about Gears Of War?”

“Screw Gears Of War!” she explodes, slamming her hands down on the desk. “You said it yourself out there, family comes first. Call the police Lance and have those guys arrested.”

He takes a moment and thinks about it, nodding along with her. He picks up the phone and dials as Kaylyn folds her arms and waits paitently.
