Chapter 1: Empowering the Meek
Note: I’m using :: :: for scene descriptions and camera/audio and ( ) ( ) for people thoughts and “ “ for dialog
The scene is 1 hour after Carl and Jamie won the Twisted Metal and tried to put a stop to Calypso - however things didn’t work out has they had hoped…
"I'm so fucking pissed at you Jamie, I really could kill you!" Carl yells, "Do you want me to put you out of your misery right now, I'll gladly do it" :: Jamie doesn't even look at her brother - she can't believe that he can treat her this way - this was not the same person she grew up with. "I know you can hear me- look at me!" he yells. ::The cop car comes screeching to a halt:: "Get out, get the fuck out right now" ::Carl kicks Jamie out into the road and speeds off::
::Jamie has pretty much given up on everything - betrayed by her own brother and the police force she contemplates suicide is the only true escape from this nightmare.
::Calypso appears before her in the road:: ::Jamie feels for her mouth and starts to sob:: "I know I know Jamie, I’m terribly sorry about what happened, see even I can admit when I've gone too far" he tells her ::with a snap of his fingers Jamie gets her mouth back:: ::Jamie is stunned, a thousand questions race through her head:: ::This man is evil whets the catch, why would he just take back a wish::
"Why Calypso, why would you give me back my mouth when I didn't enter or win the next Twisted Metal?" "Well", Calypso replies, "I know that’s not what you truly wanted - I do have certain rules to follow whether you can believe that or not, but.."
::Jamie interrupts:: "What rules?" ::Calypso says, "Yes, there are rules with this combat that I must abide by, If I didn't then I would be stripped of running this contest." "Most cars have one driver and one wish, however in your case there were two drivers and you both have to agree on one wish" "There were another pair of drivers in a previous tournament that were girl crazy and they both agreed to wishing for "babes" as they called them"
"Your case is different since I don't think your wish was to "shut up" ::Calypso chuckles:: "That's not funny" Jamie remarks. ::Calypso crosses his arms:: "I did however purposely misinterpret his wish only to show you what kind of person your brother really is" He adds, " I don't think you realize how blind you are to his corrupt ways"
::Jamie is outraged:: "What are you talking about, my brother is pissed at me for getting in his way of his wish" "No my darling, you have got it all wrong" Calypso sneers "Jamie, give me your hands, I'll show you just what kind of person your brother really is"
::Reluctantly Jamie takes a hold of Calypso’s hands:: ::In an instant Jamie is hit by a flash back of events of Carl taking bribes, killing innocent civilians, planting evidence and even confiscating drugs and later using them::
"Calypso, is...this really true, are you making any of this up, how can he do such a thing?" Jamie asks. "No Jamie, Calypso replies, this is who he really is, he even killed an agent Sheppard of the FBI who entered my contest to help put a stop to me" Calypso added "He killed him only because your brother couldn't stand the fact of being alive" "Oh my god, not Agent Sheppard, I knew him, he was a good person"
"I'm sorry things had to be this way, but I had no choice to show you" Calypso adds "I can't make things right, however I can save you seat in next years competition, and you will be going up against your brother - to put a stop to his ways"
Jamie replies "But I don’t have a car - Outlaw was his car"
"Calypso, is...this really true, are you making any of this up, how can he do such a thing?" Jamie asks. "No Jamie, Calypso replies, this is who he really is, he even killed an agent Sheppard of the FBI who entered my contest to help put a stop to me" Calypso added "He killed him only because your brother couldn't stand the fact of being alive" "Oh my god, not Agent Sheppard, I knew him, he was a good person"
"I'm sorry things had to be this way, but I had no choice to show you" Calypso adds "I can't make things right, however I can save you seat in next years competition, and you will be going up against your brother - to put a stop to his ways"
Jamie replies "But I don’t have a car - Outlaw was his car"
Calypso smiles "look behind you Jamie" ::Jamie turns around to see Crimson Fury rebuilt and purring, ready for action::
::Jamie smiles:: "I've always liked the color red" "I've even went as far as having all the windows tinted so no one will know your identity" ::Calypso looks down at his feet:: "This is as far as I can go in aiding you." "You have a car, a seat in the next year's Twisted Metal and a purpose" "Thank you so much for doing all of this" ::Jamie turns back around:: "I was really wrong... ::Calypso is gone:: Jamie look around frantically, but she can't find him anywhere.
::A voice calls out to her from the distance:: "You don’t have to thank me darling, just make sure you complete what you set out to do next year, I don’t want your ghost attaching itself to that car because of a job that was left undone"
::Jamie slides behind the wheel:: "Now, she thinks to herself, "All I have to do now is fake my own death to make Carl think that I am completely out of the picture, and from there I can plot my revenge."
::Crimson Fury roars down the road and the camera fades to black::
