Mr. Davies: Son, I better go now.

Greg: But Dad, when will you be back?

Mr. Davies: Don't worry, Greg. I'll be alright. 

Greg: Dad, I hate wars. I don't think you'll be safe in Iraq.

Mr. Davies: Relax Greg. Besides, I'm just a explosives expert. I only plant bombs secretly. You know that, right?

Greg: Yeah I know. Please come back, Dad. I'll miss you.

Mr. Davies: Don't worry, son. I will. I miss you too.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

CLICK!

Mrs. Davies: Greg! Greg! Wake up! It's time for school.

Greg: Ugh...What? Oh man. I'm late.

Mrs. Davies: Greg, what time did you came from work?

Greg: Mama, I just came back at 12:00.

Mrs. Davies: At midnight? And you didn't even tell me while I was sleeping?

Greg: I'm sorry, Mama. I was so tired.

Mrs. Davies: Anyways, Greg. You go and get ready. It sure looks like you had a dream.

Greg: Actually I did.

Mrs. Davies: Like what?

Greg: Dad was leaving for Iraq. We were there to say bye to him.

Mrs. Davies: Greg, I don't think you should talk about him anymore.

Greg: Why not, Mama? Don't you still think about him?

Mrs. Davies: Greg, I do. I just want to move on. Besides, he's...not in this world anymore.

Greg: You know what, Mama? Maybe you're right. If he hadn't left us, things would have been different for me. And maybe for you. Who knows?

Mrs. Davies: Young man, you watch your attitude.

Greg: No Mama, you listen to me. You just face it, ok. I would have been a good kid if Dad was still alive.

Mrs. Davies: Greg, I....

Greg: Look Mama, I'm getting late. I have to go now.

Somewhere in the warehouse.....

John Sanders: Ah you just arrived, Stefan.

Stefan: Ummm. Boss, is that you?

John: It's me. Didn't you recognize my voice when we talked over the phone?

Stefan: Well yeah..but it's just that I haven't seen you lately.

John: Well now you just saw me. Satisfied? Anyways, I would like you to do a job for me.

Stefan: Oh anything for the boss.

John: I want you to tell Greg that he has to destroy the high school that he's studying at.

Stefan: What? High school? But why?

John: You know, Stefan. I want to know how your sister is doing so far. How is she? 

Stefan: Well...Ummm...She's doing fine, sir. But she's getting worse. She's so sick and I can do nothing about it. Not even the doctors can do anything about it.

John: Yeah and you will do a job for me. Is that right?

Stefan: Yes, sir. I can do anything for you. But this high school...I just don't know if I can tell Greg about....

John: About what, Stefan?

Stefan: Ugh! Ah...Can't...breathe...I...

John: What is it, Stefan? What is it you want to tell me? About what?

Stefan: Sir...Help me. I...can't breathe.

John: You will breathe once you do the job. Otherwise, you won't be able to save your sister's life. After all, you came here for my help. For my money. Do you understand that?

Stefan: Yes...Yes....I...understand. Please....I....

John: Good. Now you're ok. 

Stefan: I'm...sorry sir. I promise you that I won't even ask questions about the job.

John: That's the spirit. Don't worry, your little sister will be in safe hands. Now get moving and stay out of my sight.

Stefan: Yes sir.

Secretary: You almost choked him.

John: Sometimes these people won't even understand my true actions. They will get what they deserve.

Secretary: I see. But can you trust Stefan on this job?

John: Miss, I'm the greatest man in the world. What do you expect?

High school.....

Mr. Woosley: Greg, you're late.

Greg: Yeah I know. I'm sorry.

Mr. Woosley: Greg, I need to talk with you for a moment. Is that ok?

Greg: Yeah sure, sir. No problem.

Mr. Woosley: Right now.

Greg: ok, what is it?

Mr. Woosley: Greg, I don't know what to say. I just want to help you. Your mother told me about eveything.

Greg: About what? Since when?

Mr. Woosley: She talked to me on the phone early this morning. Everything what happened to your father. I'm sorry. I want to help you, Greg.

Greg: I can't believe this, man. I can't believe Mama would say all these things....

Mr. Woosley: Greg, listen to me. I'm not saying that you're a troubled kid. I'm just saying that you need help. Ok.

Greg: Yo man, you stay away frome me. Ok? You don't have to care.

Mr. Woosley: Greg look...

Greg: No you look here, mister. I don't care about you or anyone in this stupid class of yours. I'm out of here, man.

Mr. Woosley: Greg! GREG! Don't make me tell this to the prinicpal.

Greg: Go ahead. See if I care.

Greg's home.....

Greg: Mama?

Mrs. Davies: Greg, I'm not in a good mood right now. I have to work at the nursing home. They called me for a shift. You take care and eat your food while I'm gone.

Greg: Mama look, I....

Mrs. Davies: Not a word, Greg. I'm getting tired of all this. You don't go to work today, ok.

Greg: But Mama.....

Mrs. Davies: I'll be back at 10:00 pm. You better be here when I arrive. 

Greg: Ok Mama. 

30 minutes later.....

Rnnnnng Rnnnnnng

Greg: Hello?

Stefan: Greg, yo what's up?

Greg: Hi Stefan, nothing much. Is it work this time?

Stefan: Actually yeah. The boss says so. You better come quick.

Greg: Yo man, I got myself in trouble. I don't think I can do the job today.

Stefan: Hey man! If you don't do what the boss says. He'll fire you.

Greg: Stefan, don't do this to me.

Stefan: And you don't ask any more questions to me. You hear that?

Greg: Oh geez man. Ok. Fine, I'll come. Give me some time. I'll get ready.

Stefan: Sure, whatever man.

20 minutes later.....

Stefan: ok, here's the job. You need to blow up this....

Greg: Wait a minute, why are we here in this school? Don't tell me....

Stefan: Listen Greg. If you don't do what....

Greg: Yo, you're crazy man. I can't do this. I can't destroy this school.

Stefan: You have to do it, man. Our lives are at stake.

Greg: I can't do this, man. I just can't.

Stefan: Yo man. You should do this, ok. You hear me?

Greg: If I do this, the police will sure find out who's responsible for the explosion.

Stefan: How would you know that?

Greg: Because my history teacher works here. It's most likely the suspect will be me, man. Mr. Woosley will sure find out that I did it. You have to listen to me for goodness sake.

Stefan: Hey man, you listen to me. We staged the explosions all over the place in one month. Not even a single clue came to us. Not even the cops could find out about us. You don't do this, then we're broke.

Greg: Ok. I'll....I'll do it. Did you check that everyone are in this school?

Stefan: Not a sight, man. Trust me.

Greg: Ok here goes.

FZZZZZZZZT!

Stefan: ok, let's go.

Greg: Man, I'm making a big mistake here.

BOOOOOM!

The next day....

News reporter: Another explosion has occured and this time it's the Washington High. Several injuries have been claimed and some of the teachers were killed. One of them was Mr. Ron Woosley, a history teacher who was at the time teaching students in the evening classes. The police still have no suspects of who are responsible for these horrible deaths.

Greg: No. It...can't be.

News reporter: Officer! Officer! Have you found out any leads to these unsolved bombings for the past month?

Cop: Look Ma'am, whoever did this will surely get in lot of trouble. We're not giving up. We'll find this killer and when we do. We'll catch him.

Mrs. Davies: Dear lord, I can't believe this. Who would do such a thing?

DING DONG!

Greg: Mama, I'll get it.

Stefan: Greg. It's me.

Greg: Stefan, you fool. You...

Mrs. Davies: What's the matter, Greg? Who's there?

Stefan: Greg, I...

Greg: No not here, man. My mom will find out. Just get out of here.

Stefan: I...I can't.

Greg: You told me no one is in that school. What were you thinking?

Stefan: Greg! Just....

SLAM!

Greg: Ahh!

Mrs. Davies: Greg! What's going on here? Who...Who are you?

Stefan: I...came here to get Greg. HANDS UP!

Greg: NO! Don't shoot Mama. Please stop! 

Mrs. Davies: Oh my lord!

Stefan: Stay back, Greg. STAY BACK!

Greg: Stefan, listen to me. I did what you asked. I did what the boss said. Don't do this.

Mrs. Davies: Greg...what are you talking about?

Greg: Mama, it's...it's my fault. I screwed....up. I was the one who planted those.....bombs. I was the one who was responsible for the explosions.

Mrs. Davies: Greg? 

Greg: It's true, Mama. I.....

BANG!

Mrs. Davies: Ahhhh!

Greg: NOOOOO! MAMA!

Stefan: I...I can't stop myself. I just can't....Ugh!

Greg: What....have you done, man? You....

Stefan: I....can't breathe. He's....choking....me.

Greg: Choking....you?

Mrs. Davies: Gre...g?

Greg: Mama! Hold on. I'll get the ambulance. Just hold on, Mama.

Mrs. Davies: Greg....I....didn't know. I'm....

Greg: Mama? Mama? MAMA?

Stefan: Greg! Help....me. I....Ugh.

THUD!

Greg: Stefan? 

Stefan: Greg. I...He...The boss.....

Greg: Our boss?

Stefan: Greg, you....must save my....sister. You must...Ahhhhh!

Greg: Stefan!

Stefan: ......

Greg: No, I....I can't stay here. If I stay here, then I will....be caught. I'm sorry, Mama. I'm so sorry.

FZZZZZZZZZT!

KREAK! SLAM!

Greg: I'm....sorry.

BOOOOOM!

CRASH! RUMBLE!

Present.......

BOOOOOM!

CRASH! RUMBLE!

Qwan: Greg! Greg! What are you doing? 

Greg: Im blowing up these rocks. What do you think I'm doing?

Qwan: What are you trying to do, Greg? You tell me. Let us help you.

Greg: I don't need your help, man. I.....

Sharon: Greg, it's ok. I know what you're going through.

Greg: Stop scanning me. YOU HEAR ME?

Qwan: Greg, you have to stop this. We're your friends. Whatever happens to us, we have to stick together.

Greg: I....I'm sorry, man. I just did a horrible thing.

Qwan: Greg, we're all in this ok. C'mon man, we're not here to fight. Whatever happened to you, I know that you can get through with this.

Greg: I want to find out who did this. I have to find my boss. I tried to search for him, man.

Qwan: Your boss?

Greg: Yeah man. Someday, I'll find and get him for sure. I have a feeling that he used me.

MRD Headquarters......

Director Stash: I see. So your Sentinels have failed this time. What bad luck.

Supervisor: Well, it seems that Trask's work has not been accomplished yet. We still have more ways to go from here.

Director Stash: I don't think your toys will do the trick. We have seen the results and those freaks have beaten them.

Supervisor: Maybe, we should send more Sentinels at our disposal. That could work, you know.

Director Stash: Forget it. We need special people to track them down.

Secretary: Special people?

Director Stash: Yes, mutants. We have captured dangerous mutant criminals. We can use them to capture those kids in exchange for their freedom.

Secretary: I don't think that would be a wise idea. Besides, we can't trust them.

Director Stash: I'm sure we can, miss. But don't worry, we won't let them go anywhere. 

Secretary: How do you propose to do that?

Director Stash: Miss, have you ever heard of negotiation?

MRD soldier: Sorry to interrupt your meeting, sir. But we have a major problem.

Director Stash: What is it this time?

MRD soldier: We found Ryan's body in the woods.

Director Stash: What? He's dead? What do you mean?

MRD soldier: Sir, it looks like he has been shot by someone.

Director Stash: By who?

MRD soldier: I don't know, sir.

Director Stash: Send a death report to Dr. Frank at once and immediately check his body. We'll find out what happened to him.

MRD soldier: Sir, we have another problem.

Director Stash: Soldier, you better not......

MRD soldier: His body was gone, sir. We were bringing it here in the back of our truck. But someone took the body away.

Director Stash: How is that possible?

MRD soldier: I don't know, sir. Somehow, we were out cold. 

Director Stash: Then search for his body. Don't waste my time. 

MRD soldier: Yes sir.

Supervisor: It's hard to believe that Ryan is dead. Don't you think? Besides, he was our valuable member of the M.R.D.

Director Stash: I have to get to the bottom of this. In the meantime, we'll release the criminals from prison.
