We open to a beautifully mature woman dressed in reflective green bodice enjoying the soulful sounds of Jill Scott in the grand ballroom of a nightclub. She notices a young man dressed in purple and green - with green locs to complete the ensemble. As he locks eyes with the ebony beauty, she motions with her head towards the back office. He, with silent understanding, scans the room one final time, finishes the final shot of Hennessey in his uniquely decorative glass and follows her to the back office through a doir marked "Employees Only".
"Marquis, darling," the caramel hued seductress begins..."Every since I was brought to this dreadful plane of existence, I've been searching tirelessly for suitable company. The only redemptive aspect of this entire ordeal is the beautiful Tabitha joining me. Howbeit, she had just as much choice as I , given the fact that our crimsen and golden cheffuer never asked our opinion before dropping us off like unwanted children in this...place"
Marquis drinks in the sight of the leather clad vixen from head to toe as a lascivious smile brandishes itself across his face. Tabitha, who is visibly annoyed, cracks her whip and barks "Focus!". Marquis looks at her; chuckles and retorts, "I am focused."
"Children, behave yourselves." Fish interjects."Now, down to business. What this town needs is organization, and I'm just the women to bring it ". As she is speaking a figure clad in black and silver with gold gauntlets walks in along side a man dressed in a tux who, coincidently is wearing a white mask. "Ah, Wolfie and Ragdoll. Welcome to the party, we've been waiting for you. Come on in darlings." Fish exclaims.
"What is this?" Jett asks defensively.
"Calm down, Marquis, this is the rest of our crew. Evan Blake the WolfSpider and Peter Merkel the Ragdoll." Fish explains, "In order to meet my objective, I need the best talent. People who can get anything and go anywhere. Let's be one big happy family."
"Fine" Jett retorts "Let's get out of here. I need a drink". Stepping to the side he motions for the ageless ebony treasure to strut by in front of him.
"I'll meet you guys down there" Tabitha comments as the rest of the crew follow Fish and Marquis.
After the crew is completely gone a red figure appears in front of Tabitha and growls "I...have....one...more...assignment"
"Come on you crimson bastard!" Tabitha challenges as she unsheaves her whip and makes a loud 'crack' on the floor in an overt challenge. In a flash, the red blur attacks sending her clear across the room crashing thru some display cases. As Tabitha tries to muster enough strength to get to her feet the blur attacks again. This time picking her up and in an act of vagrant defenestration, it jettisons her out of the window sending her screaming onto the alleyway pavement below. With a soul cringing thud Tabitha meets the ground. Barely conscious and gurgling blood Tabitha sees the red blur flee the scene just as a black cat hops on her chest and coughs directly into her mouth.
