-Episode 2-
(On dry land, deep in the forest two guys are layed on blankets around a camp fire.. it's dark and they seem to be enjoying each others company.. to look at they were the complete opposite of each other.. who'd have guessed the two of them would be friends? .. The first guy was 21, tall, had shoulder length light brown hair.. the other was 17, not very tall and had short bleach blonde coloured hair, As the two chat.. they're joined by a tall.. and very pretty 19 year old girl with long black hair)
BRAY: I don't think we're very far from the city now.. We'll travel further tomorrow
VED: It's risky.. we're not the most popular people to the techno's right now.... (pauses).. lucky I have this.. (he says tapping his wrist laser)
BRAY: What setting? ..
(Bray asked with narrowed eyes)
VED: Death... (he replied raising his right eyebrow and smiling)
ZOE: Ved? .. (she says shaking her head in disapproval)
(Bray didn't like that idea either.. Ved had been a techno once and although they'd formed a strong bond of friendship over the months.. there was still something about Ved that made Bray wary of him and slightly untrustworthy of his new found pal)
BRAY: Turn it down a few.. Ved .. There's been enough bloodshed already
VED: What? .. and miss out on seeing the fun of the techno's getting what they've had coming?
ZOE: Look kid.. your not the only one who wants to kick the techno's into touch.. but to commit murder? .. (pauses).. Your target? .. (she asks worried)
VED: I have my list... (he replied smiling)
BRAY: Who .. VED... (Bray demanded)
VED: Just some scumbags back in the city.... Ram.. Lex..
BRAY: (Frowning).. Lex? ... No .... we're keeping this business strictly Techno.. you never mentioned having any beef with the mallrats... That's MY Tribe... and they stay in one piece... You understand? .. (he warned)
VED: Sure..
(Ved replied.. but he knew deep down that he'd do what he liked regardless of what Bray and Zoe told him)
............................................................................................
(Back on the sea.. Connor stopped the boat as night drew in.. Amber, Trudy and Ruby were already asleep on the floor in the lower cabin.. Bray Jnr and Brady were also sound asleep tucked up sharing one of the beds.. whilst Ebony hogged the other.... nobody had been bothered to argue with her over a stupid bed, since they were all so tired.. they just couldn't be bothered giving Ebony the satisfaction of yet another fight.... It was a tight squeeze but somehow.. Daryl, Sammy, Gel, Lottie, Salene, May, Jack and Ellie had managed to find a spot and settle down for the night.. Whilst Ram, Lex, Slade and Jay stayed on the top deck with Connor.. It was cold but they had blankets... then weirdly Ram started to sing.. about the boat and the water)
RAM: (singing).. Over and over the waves we go.. where will we end up.. nobody knows.. (he laughs)
SLADE: Will you shut up
JAY: (Nodding in agreement with Slade) ..You can't sing ..
RAM: Ahh I amuse myself
LEX: I'm glad .. (Lex replies sarcastically).. Someone has to... Now can we please get some sleep in peace?
(Ram feels like just for that, Lex deserves his undivided attention)
RAM: What's the matter Lex? .. Don't you like my song?
JAY: Trust me it's not the song.. (Jay muttered)
RAM: Lex?
LEX: It's not the SONG that's the problem..
(During the discussion between the guys.. none of them had realised that Connor had snaked his way down to the lower cabin.. this only meant trouble, especially considering the comment he'd made about the girls that afternoon ... As Connor managed to tip toe around those who were asleep on the floor.. he reached Ebony's bed and hovered for a while... then as he attempted to lift the blanket, with the intention to climb in beside her.. he was greeted with a kick to the groin..)
EBONY: (As she springs up in her bed she grab's Connors right arm and twisted it around till he winced in pain) .. You picked the wrong girl to try messing with buddy
SLADE: Damn straight ..
(Slade said appearing below deck... You could see the hate in his eyes as he stepped over the sleeping bodies.. He made his way over to Connor and punched him straight in the nose.. sending Connor flying back and knocking him clean out... Slade and Ebony turned as they heard Lex's cackle.. they both greet Lex with a smile)
LEX: You don't know how long I've been waiting to do that mate...
SLADE: (Laughs).. Nobody messes with my woman in that way
(Ebony was tough and knew how to handle herself but she loved having a man who'd stick up for her and protect her in every situation)
RAM: (Seeing Connor knocked out on the floor of the lower deck) .. Oh.. What a shame.. I miss all the fun..
SLADE: He had it coming...
LEX: (Still laughing uncontrollably).. I think you broke his nose
EBONY: (Brushing it off).. He'll live..
(Ebony looks around at those asleep on the floor)
EBONY: It's like a morgue in here... All this commotion and not one of them has so much as stirred... Lazy .. idle .. slobs.
SLADE: Kids sleep through anything..
EBONY: I didn't mean the kids.. I was talking about their mothers.. (she laughs).... Anyway.. what do we do with HIM? .. (she says pointing to Connor, who's nose was now bleeding)
SLADE: We'll guard him until he comes round..
EBONY: Then what?
LEX: Then he goe's over board .. (Lex smirks)
RAM: I have a better suggestion..
(Lex, Slade and Ebony look at Ram with great interest.. as they wonder what amazing idea Ram had come up with)
RAM: We DON'T wait until he comes round.. we just throw him over board already....
(He pauses as he awaits a reaction from Slade, Lex and Ebony)
RAM: (Speaking in all seriousness) ..How about it? .. (he smiles as though what he'd just suggested was all innocent)
(The other three exchange smiles.. how didn't they guess that Ram would have suggested that? .. As they look around at each other exchanging glances, they can hardly contain their laughter)
