S3 EP10 - The Killer

Nate stood in the kitchen at Courtney's house with Courtney, Pat, Barbara, Yolanda and Sylvester. Pat got off the phone after trying to call Mike.

Pat: Mike's still not answering.

Courtney: Jakeem either.

Yolanda: So where are they?

Pat: Well, Mike said he was gonna spend the night at Jakeem's, Jakeem told his mom he was spending the night here.

Yolanda: Do you think the Mahkents did something to them?

Pat: If they found out that Mike killed Jordan...

Sylvester: Pat, Mike and Jakeem lied to us about where they were before everything with those Norwegian frosted freaks went down. So the boys were already off doing whatever they set out to do.

Pat: We have to be sure that the Mahkents are not involved.

Barbara: I agree.

Courtney: Beth tracked the receiving signal from the spy cameras to the Mahkent house. They're the ones who've been watching us. How could they not be involved?

Sylvester: Because we've been set up before. Think about it... At the exact moment you and Cameron were trying to bury past demons, Beth suddenly cracks into info that points the rest of you at the Mahkent house like a gun, so everything goes boom? I bet you my red boots and one of Pat's puffer vests that the signal that Beth found was a fabrication. Someone is trying to distract us.

Nate: Alright, that reopens the mystery of who's been watching us. To which we have practically no other known suspects. Great.

Nate was working on a device in the Pit Stop. He dropped a screwdriver and went to catch it, however it stopped falling in mid air. He looked over to the clock to see that the hand kept jumping back and forth between the same two seconds. Nate turned around to see Eon arrive through a portal.

Eon: Hello, Nathaniel.

Nate: What do you want?

Eon: Just like that? I am surprised you haven't tried to attack me.

Nate: I would've, if you were actually here.

Nate tossed a tool from the workbench which flew through Eon revealing him to be some kind of illusion.

Eon: You truly are more perceptive than Benjamin ever was. That is why I thought I would appeal to you once more.

Nate: To join you?

Eon: Yes.

Nate: Let's get one thing straight. You pretended to be my father and then killed my mother. That is not a safe place to stand.

Eon: That was a necessary evil.

Nate approached Eon until he was right in his face.

Nate: You gave me hope, and then you ripped it away. That is enough to make anyone dangerous. So, God knows what it will do to me.

Eon: We shall see.

The illusion faded and the screwdriver landed as time resumed. The sound of the door made Nate turn back.

Sylvester: Hey, Nate, you haven't seen my keys, have you?

Nate: Huh? Uhm, no. I haven't.

Sylvester: You alright?

Nate: Yeah, just... Eon.

Sylvester: Right, I heard about what happened. Makes you wonder though.

Nate: Wonder what?
