-[ Off in the distance, B-Pac spots clouds of dust and soon after, a yellow cab making it's way toward him. "FINALLY!" He steps out of his vehicle and begins walking. The scene fade... to... black. ]- B-Pac: " So glad to see you made it... " -[ B-Pac watches as Jecht seems to be lost in confusion. ]- Jecht: " Glad to see I made it? What....what the hell are you doing out here? I dont recall sending any invitations out? " B-Pac: " Don't give me that s**t. I came all the way out to this God-forsaken place because YOU called me and begged me to meet you here! " -[ Jecht thinks for a moment, still obviously drawing a blank on B-Pac's remarks as he shakes his head. ]- Jecht: " I dont know what your malfunction is....the only time I've had any sort of access to a phone was on the plane...and I was asleep! " [-B-Pac gets an angry look on his face, searching for his cell phone. He finds it and holds it out to Jecht. ]- B-Pac: " You calling me a liar? Listen to that and tell me you didn't ask me to come out here! " -[ Jecht dials up the voice mail number and listens carefully to the message. Jecht's mouth drops down, as he recognizes that is obviously his voice. Jecht's arm drops down, as B-Pac snatches the phone out of Jecht's hand. ]- B-Pac: " Thought so... Now, what exactly was so crucial that we had to pick this place out of all of the other wonderful places in America? " -[ Jecht points out towards the surrounding area. ]- Jecht: " This is where I woke up that fateful day, the very first day I remember....well....used to remember. I woke up, bloody and battered, and the only thing that was left for me was a mask, and a note. The three men that did this to me....they left it as a joke I believe. " B-Pac: " Okay, Mother Goose... what makes you think they had so much animosity towards you that they would play such a hideous prank on you? " Jecht: " Well, Cat in the Hat....I dont believe it was a prank. I've seen it....in my dreams. They didnt want me to make it back. They left those things if by chance I did....so as to label who I was, so they'd know, I believe. " -[ Jecht gives a slight grin and nods, showing B-Pac that he isnt intimidated by him. B-Pac shakes his head, laughing at Jecht's attempt to impress him. B-Pac seems to be growing tired of his current situation. ]- B-Pac: " You know, I'm slowly beginning to tire of this. Did you invite me out here to tell me your little sob story... or did you have a purpose to this meeting? " -[ Jecht looks down at the ground, as he closes his eyes. He takes a few moments before looking back up at B-Pac, who is looking at Jecht in confusion. ]- Jecht: " You're....too familiar. I see you...and myself standing beside Troy Johnson. He....he trained us both, I believe. " B-Pac: " Troy Johnson, eh? I've stood beside many in my days under Troy's training... but I can't say I share that familiarity. It's impossible to remember many faces from my own personal past... just a few in particular. And you're not one of them. " -[ Jecht sighs and looks to the ground. B-Pac reaches into his pocket but realizes what he is looking for isn't there. ]- B-Pac: " You gotta cigarette by any chance? " -[ Jecht looks up, looks around, the looks back at B-Pac. ]- Jecht: " What the!?!.....what the hell kind of question is that? " B-Pac: " Cigarette... you know, you smoke them? Say man, is that mask on too tight or something? " Jecht: " Dont smoke. And the mask is just fine! " B-Pac: " Well, a simple NO would have done just fine... Try not to be a cockily little jack-ass... it's worse for your health than smoking. " -[ Jecht shakes his head at B-Pac's remark. Jecht takes a look around, scratching his mask. Jecht decides to loosen the straps, taking the mask off though not allowing his face to be seen. B-Pac turns around to see Jecht without his mask on, as his eyes widen a bit in surprise. Jecht looks around, then back at B-Pac. ]- B-Pac: " I saw a small diner back in town... lets finish this conversation up there. I have some things I want to tell you about... " -[ Jecht nods his head in agreement, as he puts his mask back on, as B-Pac has become the only one to see Jecht without his mask. The two begin to walk away as the sun finishes setting. The scene fades... to... black. ]- |
