Storm Wars Lore

Episode Seven

EXT - DC Alleyway (Night, three months later)

"A tall, dark hooded figure runs into a narrow alleyway as a car passes on the street behind him. He puts his hands on his knees as he doubles over in an attempt to catch his breath. A large silver briefcase dangled against his leg as he wheezed, cars silently passing the alleyway in the street behind him. After a few moments he straightened himself, taking a few steps deeper into the alleyway"

???
So, you thought you could escape huh?

"The man gasped as he walked into an invisible wall, being thrown backwards into the ground. He looked up in terror, being greeted by a dark shadowy outline of a muscular man. He squinted. He could make out a faint skull imprint on the man's ski-mask and the whites of his eyes. He began to shake in fear"

Man
N-no! I would never run from you! I have no reason to!

Brutus

(Looking down at him) Where's the money?

Man
(Shakily holds up briefcase) H-here!

Brutus
(Snatching the briefcase out of the man's hands.) You are a pitiful man, Senator Donald. Much like the rest of your peers.

"As Brutus slowly opens the briefcase, Senator Donald began to get on his feet. Brutus was suddenly blasted with an explosion of white light from the inside of the briefcase. There was a loud boom and he was thrown several feet backwards through the alleyway. The Senator took off, running towards the exit as a large black Chevy Suburban pulled up and stopped on the street behind them. He swiftly threw the backdoor open and hopped in"

Senator Donald
Go!

"Brutus calmly got back in his feet and dusted himself off as he watched the truck shoot off in front of him. He smirked"

Brutus
I like it when they run. 

"Senator Donald takes a moment to catch his breath as he pulls his hood down, revealing his wrinkly, pale skin and wispy blonde hair. He looked at his reflection in the dark, obsidian colored glass that split that driver and passenger section of the cabin from the back row of seats. He wiped the sweat from his forehead as he knocked on the divider"

Senator Donald
Thanks for the bailout.

Driver

(Chuckles) I haven't heard that since '08.

Senator Donald
Hey man, GM was too important to our domestic interest. For the cause. Can't let foreign brands take over the American car market.

Driver
That's true, sir! I also feel like you are too important to the cause to let fail as well, Senator.

Senator Donald
Did you bring the briefcase?

Driver
Yes.

"A small block opened in the middle of the divider. Senator Donald smiled as the driver reached back and handed him a small silver briefcase through the opening, immediately closing the hole afterwards. The Senator placed the briefcase on his lap and opened it, revealing stacks of hundred dollar bills kept together with rubber bands. His mouth begins to water as he takes a quick glance of of the window, watching cars slowly pass on the opposite side of the road"

Driver
How much is it?

Senator Donald
25 million.

Driver
Whew! All that just to get Alphonso coaching in Storm? Who's coaching him exactly? The developers? Holt?
