CUT TO: CINCINNATI, OHIO
EXT. WAREHOUSE - AFTERNOON
A SECURITY GUARD PATROLS AROUND THE INSIDE OF A WAREHOUSE.
[Secuirty Guard]
(Talking to himself)
Looks like it's going to be another boring night. Fine with me. I just wish that I got paid more since I'm the only one who wants to work this shift. Marketplace value is such a sham.
THE SECURITY GUARD RETURNS TO HIS OFFICE, SITS DOWN AT HIS DESK AND LOOKS AT THE MONITORS. NOTHING EVENTFUL HAPPENS AND THE SECURITY GUARD PUTS HIS CHIN IN HIS HAND.
[Security Guard]
(To himself)
Oh, come on. There has to be something going on.
SUDDENLY BEHIND THE SECURITY GUARD, A FAINT LUMINOUS LIGHT SHINES AND HE GLANCES BEHIND HIM.
[Security Guard]
What the—!
THE SECURITY GUARD DEVELOPS A SHOCKED EXPRESSION AS A PHANTOM-LIKE FIGURE STANDS IN THE DOOR.
[Security Guard]
Who the hell are you?
THE PHANTOM DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING AND INSTEAD TAKES A STEP TOWARD THE SECURITY GUARD. THE SECURITY GUARD SHACKILY REACHES FOR HIS TASER.
[Security Guard]
Alright, that's as far as you go. Not one more step.
THE PHANTOM SUDDENLY SEAMLESSLY AND QUICKLY FLOATS TO WHERE THE SECURITY GUARD IS.
[Security Guard]
I thought I told you to stay put!
THE SECURITY GUARD FUMBLES HIS TASER OUT OF THE HOLSTER AND ATTEMPTS TO AIM IT AT THE PHANTOM.
[Security Guard]
Take this you son of a—!
THE PHANTOM SNATCHES THE TASER FROM THE SECURITY GUARD.
[Security Guard]
No! What're you—!? Aaaaah!
THE PHANTOM TASES THE SECURITY GUARD AND KNOCKS HIM OUT. THE PHANTOM THEN TAKES THE SECURITY GUARD'S BADGE AND FLOATS OUT OF THE ROOM. THE UNKNOWN PHANTOM BEGINS TO FLOAT TOWARD A SAFE.
[Unknown Phantom]
Now all that's left is for me to claim my prize.
[Unknown Young Woman]
It's not in the cards, Moony.
MOON MANES GLANCES OVER TO A DARK PART OF THE ROOM AND SEES A LUMININATED PLAYING CARD BEING HELD BY A YOUNG WOMAN WHO'S JUST OUT OF SIGHT.
[Moon Manes]
I don't know exactly who you think you are but this is no time for games.
[Unknown Young Woman]
Oh, you don't think so? I've got a full deck. I'm sure I can find you at least one card you'll take a fancy to.
[Moon Manes]
I highly doubt it.
[Unknown Young Woman]
Well, there's no harm in trying right?
