SC14 - Different Takes
INT. DETENTION WING. NIGHT.
Balfor and two guards are standing inside Eleanor's former cell.
BALFOR: (Furious) How did this happen!?
GUARD #1: (Nervous) There must have been a few of them, sir. They knocked out the guards and escaped through the ventilation shaft.
BALFOR: Where were the patrols? What do I pay you idiots for? Have you any idea how this is going to look...
Delia enters the room and when Balfor spots her he stops shouting. He turns to the guard.
BALFOR: Get out. Now! The entire department's pay will be cut in half for this!
The guards rapidly leave the room, leaving only Balfor and Delia.
BALFOR: I will fix this! Tell him I have the situation handled.
DELIA: No... I'd rather we keep this between us.
BALFOR: What?
DELIA: (Smiling) Lighten up. Where's your sense of fun?
BALFOR: Fun? Are you mad? If he were to find out she's gone...
DELIA: I told you, he doesn't have to know. So how about you just get back behind your fancy desk and do the paperwork like a good Admiral. Leave the girl to me.
BALFOR: (Yelling angrily) Don't you dare talk to me like that! I am the Grand Admiral of the Mayagarde army! I will deal with this situation!
Delia makes her way to the door and rests her hand on the handle. The room seems to shrink before Balfor's eyes and the lights dim.
DELIA: Have it your way, but I will have my fun. Her little friends are mine.
Balfor's head rings and he puts his hand to his forehead in pain. Delia smiles darkly then removes her hand from the door handle and walks straight through the closed door. The ringing stops and Balfor drops his hand. He wipes a drop of sweat from his face and takes a deep breath before scowling and bursting out of the room.
