[Narrator]

 

Rarely has there been found, in the past few weeks, a fine day in The City Within The Walls. Growing ever distant, the people's trust is beginning to wane from the council and the three protections. However, a plan has been made...a plan to reinstate the peoples trust and plan to set the city back, on its correct course.

 

 

(Scene opens to a stadium. Thousands of people talking, laughing and having a great time. Then the volume dies and the scene takes place in a hallway of the stadium.)

 

 

[Woman]

 

I don't care what people are saying, the council says he's the man responsible.

 

 

[Man]

 

Well you should care. If it's true and he's just a patsy...and well...that's just wrong.

 

 

[Woman]

 

So what proof have you seen then...is there any proof?...or just people talking?

 

 

[Man]

 

I mean...there's the fact that he's one man?...how could one guy pull off all those explosions all by himself?...ya right...I'm not buying it.

 

 

[Woman]

 

For the sake of our kids...for the sake of our relationship, for the sake of your life as you know it...I hope you find a way to "buy" it. Do not. Make me. Be the one to turn you into the council as a heretic.

 

 

[Man]

 

Are you kidding me?

 

 

[Woman]

 

No...I'm not kidding you. If someone hears you talking this way and you get turned in they'll exile us all. You would be responsible for the death of your entire family...are you ok with that?...I hope your answer is no and you can drop all this.

 

 

[Man]

 

I'll drop it for now, but if I find any evidence, it won't be so easy to just drop.

 

 

[Woman]

 

Well...I'm going out to enjoy the show. Are you coming?

 

 

(They both exit the hallway into the crowd. The crowd is chanting hey oh. 

 

Scene end)

 

 

[Tharin]

 

(On the phone)

 

Yes, I'll be there.

 

 

[Aleen]

 

Ok, how do I get in?

 

 

[Tharin]

 

I'll have a few men meet you at the gate. They'll bring you to the back. When you get there, we'll go out and wave to the crowd and take our seats.

 

 

[Aleen]

 

Ok...do you...think this…..is the right thing to do? I mean, he didn't really do it.

 

 

[Tharin]

 

It's what must happen. We're doing what we have to...to protect the people and the council. Sometimes...things must be done...that are questionable. If you dont feel comfortable going…

 

 

[Aleen]

 

No I...I want to go. I'll be there.

 

 

[Tharin]

 

Ok, I'll see you there.

 

 

(End scene)

 

 

[Narrator]

 

Tharin, Aleen, Jarrett and all the other members of the council find themselves on the stage of the stadium. It holds nearly 350,000 people and every seat is filled. Those unlucky enough to miss their opportunity to purchase a ticket, sit at home, tuned in on their radios.

 

 

(Crowds, people chanting)

 

 

[Tharin]

 

I'm glad you made it Aleen.

 

 

[Jarrett]

 

Tharin.

 

 

[Tharin]

 

Yes father?

 

 

[Jarrett]

 

Be on guard for any disruption. We've received word that the Theosin may try to interrupt things.

 

 

[Tharin]

 

Right. I'll keep an eye out.

 

 

[Announcer]
