The next twenty-four hours were a blur for all involved.

(Kason shows a slide to the audience reading/watching)

Imagine your witnessing something via a picture show would ya? As though drunk on adrenaline Mr. Leeds makes his way back to his flat undetected by anyone. His clothes wreaked off sin. He collapses in his living room and awakes in his bed, softly covered in fresh linen complete with the smells of laundered fabric. The record player next to his bed, shows a spun BeeGees 45 and how nicely fitting to the nightmare he believed he just had.

(Play Me-

Breakfast was ready as usual for the bloke who lived lackluster yet did have that maid. A Brazilian gem of a woman, young and spirited she was. Talita Pizziano stood in the corner of the kitchen drinking her coffee, while watching Sabastian come into the room. His hair shuffled around in a state of great despair and his face pale as the clowns whitewash. He turns and is startled to see her standing there.

"Talita, fuck you scared me!

I scared you. Huh! Eat, shower and get to the school or you'll be late!

What? Its not Saturday? It is not, now hurry!"

The two were friends as they did grow up together basically. Talita was sent to care take him, and he didn't fully know why, but was happy for the company from his family. Mr. Leeds got properly prepared for his actual Friday at the Academy.

As he arrived on school grounds, he could feel what we were all feeling- a sense of doom! It lingered all around, as Ledges hadn't ever been shaken as much as it was last night. Well not in our generation anyway. Mr. Leeds enters the classroom and a couple of the jocks begin to poke fun at the queer teachers lack life look he had going today. "Took it to much up the arse did Ya Leeds! (Class laughter) Probably got so scared he ran to the bath house last night for comfort as the big scary cars drove by! ( Again most of the class laugh) I hear you had dinner with my parents, there you go flapping that pathetic Mudder you have to share and now I'm grounded thanks to you! (Andrea throws her notebook at Mr. Leeds) The class gets more unruly than usual. Principal Knight comes in and excuses Mr. Leeds from class all the while telling the children to back down today!)

What are you doing here today, Sabastian? (Nervously he responds) I have to teach Sir, its Friday? Donny was run over by a hit and run last night, you know this! Sabastian flashes back to the run down and takes a moment. Right! I...I –

(This is when Twain Lafferty arrives at class and gives Mr. Leeds a distressed look briefly before entering class where he is always praised. Twain tells the others to quiet down as he wasn't in the mood! The class shutters in silence at his word.)

Sabastian, my friend one of your best friends fell victim to whatever that was last night. You are not expected here today.

The TV Monitors switch from programming for the pupils to the Ledges Lew News Brief:

'Local Police have located the reported Aston Martin off the Cheltenham Bridge down amongst the crushed rock platforms of our cities. The body of Dragic Dhalia has been pulled from the wreckage!' This my friends is when we all learn that history of the cities, that I told you about earlier. Now this generation of citizens of Ledges learn of the Underground Gang warfare of yester-year. Again, a Dhalia had died in Ledges. This one potentially by speeding off the bridge as he and his other racers paraded through Ledges last evening.

                                   The News brief continues explaining the running down of one Donny Blicap 33, an unwitting tragedy of the speedsters. 'At Le Freak on Cheltenham someone murdered the son of Dragic Dhalia, Marek Dhalia after Marek entered the diner causing terror while waving a gun. The shooter who potentially saved other lives, is unknown at this point. Could the West Wellington Gang have resurfaced in Ledges?'

Sabastian, doesn't remember much and only flashes come and go from his mind. (Kason shows YOU the audience the flashes)

· The colored Aston Martins

· The man in the Yellow Suit

· The Cloth shield from the man who was shot in the diner.

· Smoking a cigarette with........ Twain

It is now when Sabastian realizes why Twain looked at him oddly. He turns and see's a terrified Twain staring back at him from inside the classroom. Twain has never looked so serious and has never silenced the room before. Mr. Leeds realizes he protected Twain from certain death, but most importantly he realizes he killed two men. Two Dhalia Gangsters!!

Class is cancelled.

Mr. Leeds heads home. As he arrives Talita is still in the kitchen as though she was waiting on his arrival. The news on hush in the background.

"You're still here? I thought you'd be off for the weekend? You, thought wrong Sabastian- sit down. Why do you tremble (she asks) Oh, its nothing can we turn the TV off? I can do that, sure. Tea, Sabastian? Uh, ok sure. Tell me what does Cecil know? Cecil, why are you asking about Cecil? Well, you both lost Donny last night, does he have any idea about the speedsters? Oh! I, I don't think so. Did he go looking for them? I think he went with Donny to the hospital. Where did you go? What? Where did you go Sabastian? (He gets up and looks through the cupboards) Are you looking for these ( Talita says as she holds his hidden pack of Fags) Sit down Sabastian. Where did you go? I found the man; I think I found more than one Talita. I think you found more than you ever dreamed of finding. It was all a fucking accident I swear! ( He lights a cigarette) I believe you, and that why I fixed it. (Sabastian exhales and slowly turns his head towards hers meeting her eye to eye for the first time in the conversation) What did you say Talita?"

Talita pushes the envelope towards Sabastian on the table and says he needs to go to the locker quickly!

Sabastian heads out down the rainy streets of Ledges, as though God knew the air had been full of sin and it needed a cleanse. The streets are calm and people have not ventured out much due to the potential danger. The bus station was semi busy and no one really paid much attention to the man in rain soaked khakis holding a broken umbrella. Sabastian throws the umbrella away once he gets into the station. Clearly he is angered by everything in the moment. He recalls Morris' last words: "Take this key, and find the locker in the bus station. It has everything you'll ever need again. The war has returned to Ledges cuz, and they think I am the last Tivoli. I know why she sent you here, and I failed to protect you cousin." Sabastian takes a seat on the plastic benches in the area staring directly towards the lockers. A java vendor offers coffee to the Teacher and he takes it, and tips nicely. Though he doesn't drink the coffee, he ponders his next move. What could be in that locker? Sabastian opens the envelope and reads the locker title #10. He spots #10 to the upper right of the first row. An hour goes by and the Vendor again offers coffee and again Sabastian takes and tips. This coffee sits next to the last coffee as the events continue to run through his mind from the night before.

(FLASH SEQEUNCE AGAIN)

· Donny being run down.

· The sounds from Le Freak before he fires Morris' gun.

· Twain's neck being squeezed.

· The bullet through the man in the yellow suits Skull

· Blood in his mouth

Sabastian licks his lips and as though day turned to night, the hours passed by him. As he is about to lift himself the second coffee, he realizes now is the time to make his way to the locker. The platform is empty minus the vendor.

Sabastian stands and paces slowly towards the locker. He pulls the key out and inserts it into the Stokes branded lock. As he unlocks the door, a knife is presented to his jugular. A scruffy voice, that of the vendor who offered him coffee's tells him to hand over the key and the package or he will die and no one would ever know what happened to his body! Sabastian proceeds to begin handing the vendor the key until the Vendor stiffens and a slight fainted scream leaves his throat. Another voice tells Sabastian to get the shit and lock up.

Twain is there and drags the now severed spinal cord from body of the vendor into the washroom. Sabastian follows him and nearly begins to cry.

"Are you about to fuckin cry Teach?

I don't know what else to do!!!

Were going to get the fuck outta here and make on with life! Or we die!! What you wanna do Teach?

Ill follow you Huck."

Sabastian follows Twain to the Lafferty Compound. They head behind the Ferris wheel frozen in time and into the big black shadow land house that is perched above the city.

The city fills with rain and the streets become even more desolate.

It would appear the color of the skies would remain grey for weeks to come as the storm over the Mediterranean would cast upon Ledges entirely!
