COVERING ALL THE BASES

  

  

The Main Event may be over but the camera’s flick to the backstage area where Vulnero and Rain are making their way to the production truck, likely looking for the footage that shows their kidnap and assault of Mason Norman.

Mitch Law: “Rain is here? I wondered where the hell he was tonight.”

Ryan Johnson: “Where are they going though Mitch?”

The camera’s follow them through the double doors and to the outside of the arena where the production truck sits with steps leading to it’s locked door. As the two Syndicate members approach, Donovan Carter of all people exits the truck, hopping down the steps to meet them.

“Looking for this?” he says waving the tape around in front of them. “This is the footage you’re looking for, right?”

Vulnero looks to Rain who nods.

“Well I’ll happily hand it over right now if I can join The Syndicate and have your protection from Nazzar The Great. I’ll fight for you at Gears Of War as well, all I want is for you to have my back,” he says, hoping the answer is yes. “What do you say? Do we have a deal?”

“We have a deal,” Rain says snatching the footage and handing it to Vulnero. “But if we lose at Gears Of War then there is no Syndicate and we have no deal.”

“Understood.”

All of a sudden the sound of sirens can be heard as police cars pull into the parking garage. Three squad cars pull up quickly and cops pour out of each, shouting at the three men to not move and stay where they are.

Mitch Law: “What the hell? What’s going on?”

The police move in on Rain, Vulnero and Donovan Carter, putting handcuffs on them and taking them into custody. The camera closes in to catch one police officer as he speaks to Rain.

“We’re arresting you on suspicion on theft and breaking and entering, you may not wish to say anything that may harm your defense or could be used against you in court.”

Before he can finish reading his rights, Kaylyn James Evans, Neville Sheldon and Lance Norman step to the outside and watch with gleeful smiles. The camera focuses on them as all three Syndicate members get put into the back of individual squad cars.

“Looks like the plan worked perfectly,” Kaylyn says with a big smile. “That should give you the leverage you need Lance.”

Mitch Law: “Leverage? Leverage for what!?”
