*The scene opens with the whole group walking into a cafe not far from where the reunion was held. Ryan, Riley, Andrew, and Isaiah are all eager to hear what happened back in the Lion's Club building. They all find a table inside and sit down and Ozzy tells them most of what happened.*

Ryan: So, you can really control that thing?

Ozzy: It's called a stand, and yes, I can control it.

Andrew: What did you say you named it again?

Ozzy: I decided to call it Duality.

Hayden: What made you decide on Duality?

Ozzy: I don't know, Jesse had named his stand Hangman's Body Count, and could lift people up and suffocate them, so I thought maybe I should name mine after my ability, too.

*Ryan lights a cigarette*

Ryan: So what's your stand's ability, then?

Ozzy: I'm pretty sure I can make the opposite of whatever I touch. Like turning water into fire, or stone into wood.

Riley: That sounds so cool!

Andrew: Why would that guy attack you? Why would his boss send him to take you guys?

Bryce: That's what we're trying to figure out.

*A waitress approaches the group at their table.*

Waitress: Can I get any of you anything?

Everyone except Zack: No thanks.

Zack: Can I get some pancakes? And some coffee? And maybe some eggs?

Bryce: And who's gonna pay for that? I know you didn't bring your wallet. Or have one, for that matter.

Zack: Well...

*Suddenly, a very well dressed man with a woman on either side of him approaches the table.*

Stranger: You all order whatever you want, it's on me.

Zack: Really? Thanks!

Isaiah: Hey, I changed my mind! I'll order something too!

Stranger: The rest of you don't want anything?

Ozzy: We're good, thanks.

Stranger: Suit yourselves.

Bryce: So, are you gonna introduce yourself? Any particular reason you're being so nice?

Stranger: The name's Johnny Gill. Pleasure to meet all of you. And I actually do have a reason for being here. I wanted to talk to my old friend Hayden here.

Andrew: You know this guy, Hayden?

Hayden: Wait... Johnny Gill? As in the Johnny Gill that helped me with my class president campaign back in high school?

Johnny: That'd be me. Long time no see, friend.

*Johnny holds out his hand, and Hayden shakes it.*

Johnny: So look, I kinda hoped I could talk to Hayden in private for a while. That alright with you guys?

Zack: Will I still get my food you offered to pay for?

*Johnny hands Zack a $100 bill.*

Johnny: Does that answer your question?

*Bryce and Ozzy glance at each other, wondering what this guy is planning.*

Zack: Woah! We're eating good today, Isaiah!

Isaiah: Yeah we are! Let's go sit at the bar.

*Zack and Isaiah get up from the table and go to the bar, where they begin ordering a copious amount of food.*
