Monty rides the elevator back to his room, beginning to panic as he sets Ivory on his couch. "Fuck, Ivory's still out cold and we're running outta time. I gotta wake him up, I NEED TO WAKE HIM UP!" Monty thinks to himself as the hopelessness sets in. He looks out his room window to make sure nobody is there. "Okay, okay. You're a loud gator, you can wake 'em up." He grabs Ivory like a plush toy and screams into his face. "IIIIIIVORYYYYYYY!!!" Monty shakes Ivory around as he screams. Ivory gasps and his eyes shoot open. "HU-WH-HUH?!" Monty sets Ivory back onto the couch as he returns to consciousness. Ivory looks up into Monty's eyes. "What happened? I was thrown and then..." Monty dives in for a hug. "I was... so afraid you were gone. You wouldn't get up, the endo grabbed ya and..." Ivory puts a hand to his mouth as Monty lets go of the hug. "I waited for so long, but ya didn't move. I-I'm glad you're okay." Ivory stands up. "Monty... Thank you for staying with me. You're truly a great gator." Ivory gives a pat on Monty's chest. "But! I believe we have something to do." Ivory checks the time. "It's 6:30. We have a half hour to get ready. Let's go to Hino."
Ivory holds Monty's hand as the two leave his room. "This is new." Monty mumbles to himself. The duo walk past a couple of kids, they stare as Monty waves to them with his free hand. "Ivory, you make it look like I'm in trouble.." Monty says as Ivory looks back. "Oh, uh, sorry. I'll let go." Ivory and Monty arrive in the Atrium where all the commotion is. There is ambient music playing and neon lights flashing slowly all around the giant room. It's usually not as busy in here but there is a big birthday party happening. A kid notices Monty in the corner of his eye and runs to the giant gator. "Ohmygosh ohmygosh! Monty! Hi Monty!" Monty giggles and crouches. "Heya, kid. How's my little rockstar today?" The little boy smiles. "I'm good, really good! Today is my friends birthday and Chica is here to wish her a happy birthday. Can you do that for my birthday?" Monty rubs the little boy on the head. "Anytime. You best be over there with your friend right now, they're about to have cake. I gotta run some errands with my handler here. Take care, kid!" The two get up and go as the kid runs back to the party table. "You ready, Ivory? We're about to set things right. You'll be able to keep your job if we can pull this off." Ivory gives a silent nod as they approach Hino's place.
"So this is it, huh? We've been planning this all day. It's time to destroy the evidence, once and for all." Monty monologues as Ivory stares at the door to Hino's Hideaway. "Let's go." Ivory says as he walks in. As always, the bar isn't busy, just a few people connecting and a group of people playing pool and darts over at the open area. Monty and Ivory move into the bar and Hino directs them to a hidden spot, free from Jessica's field of vision. "Monty, I'll ping you once Jessica is distracted, then you two can jump from behind and get the disc." Hino waves the duo off and greets the guest walking through the door. "Welcome, Jessica! What can I do for you?" Jessica scoffs. "Give up the act, Hino. Don't act like you haven't been scheming with Ivory and Monty to get this." She pulls out the disc from her bag, waving it in Hino's face. Hino's face turns from welcoming to shocked. "Wh-how? H-how did you find out?" Hino begins to twitch and step back. "You thought I don't know how to tamper with your internals? I'm not as dense as you think, mutt. Long ago, I installed internal microphones and tracker systems in every bot in here. I know what everyone is doing, all the time. You wanted to lure me here so I wouldn't have any evidence to get that dick fired and out. I knew this was gonna happen so I came here anyways. In fact, give this to Ivory, I would love to see the look on his face when you give this to him." Jessica pulls out a note of termination from her bag. "I turned in the evidence early because I felt like it. I also recorded the plotting of sabotage and how much he's been slacking lately. The upper staff really don't like what he's been doing and it's time for him to go. It's honestly sad to see him fuck up so badly." Jessica turns towards the door and leaves. "Oh, and one more thing. You're next, Hino. Enjoy your bar while it lasts." *SLAM*. Hino goes into a rage, running out of the bar doors and tackling Jessica to the ground. "You WITCH! WHAT KIND OF PERSON DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, TO RUIN HIS LIFE LIKE THIS?!" Jessica laughs as Hino screams. "I'm just doing my job. What Ivory did was wrong, so I acted on it. Plus, he was never considerate of me since day one." Hino grabs her neck in a fit of anger. "If I'm going down today, so are you." Hino steps on the back of Jessica's head as she begins to scream. The bar door swings open, Ivory and Monty running to the scene. "HINO, NO!" They both scream.
The screams turn to silence as Hino's foot hits the floor.
