note: be on the look out for a familiar name in this part. as in, TM1 familiar
Laughing to himself, Needles speeds away. The 3 men in the Rover jump out and make a break for Calypso's office.
(for those of you reading this and picturing watching a movie, now is the time to cue your action music. for me, it's "Busy Child" by the Crystal Method)
CALYPSO: Grab every tape and disc you find. I'll get all the paperwork.
HORACE: That fucking clown!! I swear, I hate that son of a bitch!!
Calypso and his crew tear the office apart gathering every piece of incriminating evidence they can find. Once they have everything, they sprint back to the Range Rover and throw everything in the back.
CALYPSO: I gotta go get Krista. Meet me out in the street.
Realizing her hadn't seen Krista in her office, he heads straight for the garage downstairs where she spent every available minute she had during the tenure of the contest. As he approaches the door...
CALYPSO: Krista, get your shit! We gotta leave n....
As he opens the door, he sees nothing. No tools, no chassis, and no Krista. He kneels down and touches the still-warm skidmarks leading out of the open roll-up door. Glancing around the room, he sees a note tacked to one of the eisels. It reads:
"See you next year, dad.
Love, Krista
Calypso follows the skidmarks out the door, down the alley and into the street where Monkey and Horace are waiting in the Range Rover. Calypso quickly hops inside and the trio take off.
CALYPSO: Krista's gone.
MONKEY: I kinda thought so when I saw the tire treads coming out of the alleyway.
As the SUV speeds out of town, a chopper lands in the street next to the burnt shell formerly known as Warthog. Captain Price comes jogging out of a nearby building and climbs inside.
PRICE: Took you long enough to get here. I sent you that S.O.S yesterday.
COMMANDER MASON 3: We had to make sure the DZ was clear. These cars pack enough firepower to bring us down in the blink of an eye.
PRICE: I was starting to think you guys wrote me off as K.I.A. And who ordered Agent Stone to come here??
CORPORAL TANNER (standing up): That would be me. I thought you could use some help.
Price rushes Tanner and lays him out with a hard right hook. Tanner hits the floor as 4 privates restrain Price from doing any more harm.
PRICE: That arrogant prick almost got me and my partner killed!! How dare you question my capabilities?!?
TANNER (dazed): How dare you strike a superior?!? And speaking of your partner, it looks like you didn't need any help getting him killed...
Price, now in a blind fury, breaks free from the soldiers holding him and pounces on Tanner, laying punch after punch into his face. It isn't long before blood and teeth start to sprinkle across the floor of the helicopter. With the help of Mason, the 4 soldiers are able to pull Price up and restrain him to a seat.
MASON: What the fuck is wrong with you, Price?! You'll end up back in the Golag for this!!
PRICE: Not before I see that yank dead for what he's done.
The chopper makes it's way back to base while another chopper lands on the roof of Calypso's carpark. Just as all the men bail out, the building explodes, killing all the soldiers and erasing any evidence that could possibly be left behind.
Following the events of the contest, Price has been promoted for his bravery and received the Purple Heart for injury during combat. He launches a full-scale investigation against Calypso and Needles, who's whereabouts are unknown. Price calls "Roach", his new second in command.
PRICE: I want every vehicle, or what's left of them that was involved in the contest shipped to my base for a full investigation. I want to know where these weapons came from and from who.
ROACH: I'm on it now, sir.
Immediately after leaving the carpark with his prize, Needles makes a beeline for the address on the piece of paper Calypso handed him: The Bronx, New York. Hiding by day and driving by night as to avoid attention, Needles finally arrives in the Big Apple several days later. Despite the daylight hours, he drives right through downtown to his destination. He parks outside the dank, dirty apartment building and runs inside. He comes to room 5B, the number on his paper. With his size 19 shoe, he kicks the door open with ease. Making his way to the living room, he spots a woman sitting in a ragged-out recliner. She is so baked that she doesn't even realize her front door has been kicked in and a serial killer stands mere feet from her. He walks between her and her line of sight to the tv. She looks up at him, half conscious...
WOMAN: Wow, look at how big you are. I bet you got a dick like a moose. If you do, I'll have to charge you double.....
NEEDLES: Is that any way to talk to your son?
WOMAN: What? I don't have any kids.
Needles reaches into his pocket and pulls out a photo of her, Charlie, James, Marcus and himself. He hands it to the woman.
WOMAN: Where the fuck did you get this?!
Needles pulls off his mask, revealing his face to her. She stares in awe with her jaw dropped.
WOMAN: Solomon?! I haven't seen you in ages. Figures it was you I kept seeing on the news...
NEEDLES: Well you were the reason I left. You are the reason I kill.
WOMAN: You don't say... well what about that worthless piece of shit father of yours? Where is he?
NEEDLES: Dead. Along with the other 2. And you here shortly.
The tv show she was watching is interrupted with a breaking story from the local news.
TV ANCHOR: Word is spreading fast that the ice cream truck driven by the notorious Needles Kane, better known as 'Sweet Tooth' has been spotted in The Bronx. Several eye-witnesses say they saw it driving irratically across the borough.
The newscaster goes quiet as he cups his earpiece.
TV ANCHOR: I have just received word that the truck has been found parked outside of a project apartment building in the Red Hook district. We have a cameracrew already en route.
Needles, realizing he doesn't have much time, lunges for his step-mother. Grabbing her by the throat, he rips her out of the lounge chair and squeezes her neck with an iron grip. He holds her high in the air, banging her head off of the ceiling repeatedly. Paint and drywall fall to the ground. She almost instantly turns blue as her body stops taking in oxygen. She starts to emit gargling noises as she begins choking on her own saliva, her arms thrashing around violently. In the background, on the tv, the news crew starts taking footage as they pull up to the ice cream truck. A SWAT van is already there, parked and empty. The cameraman zooms in on the dead bodies trapped underneath Sweet Tooth. Hearing the SWAT team's footsteps coming down the hall, Needles quickly snaps his step-mother's neck, and slams her dead body to the floor. Two empty cans of mace and 4 drained stun-guns later, Needles is unconscious and in police custody. He is heavily shackled and loaded into the back of the SWAT van, and taken off. He starts to come to a few minutes later.
NEEDLES: Ah fuck... you know it's a LONG drive to Blackfield from here, right?
by the way, this isn't even the end
