Episode 14 - Sensei Origin Arc

INT - Birmingham Apartment (Night- 2009)

"A young Sensei (18) opens the door to his dark apartment, casually flicking the light switch to his left to the "on" position as he crossed the threshold. He hung his black fedora and long black trench coat on a coat hanger nearby, kicking off his shoes as he did so. He turned around to scan his apartment. It was mostly empty, with only a black couch sitting in the middle of the room. To his right was a hallway that lead to two other bedrooms, and in the back was a large window that showed the rooftops of other nearby apartment buildings)

SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

"Sensei jumped as a young blonde woman popped up from behind the couch. He took a deep sigh as she approached him with a box of cookies in her hand and a bright smile on her face)

Sensei

(Confused) Miss Smith? It's not my -

"Miss Smith shoved the box of cookies into his chest, stopping him midsentence. She then pulled him closely as she embraced him for a tight hug)

Miss Smith

Play along, Holt. They're listening.

"Holt smiles as he takes the box of cookies out of her hands, following up with a swift kiss on the cheek"

Holt

Oh, babe! Miss Smith cookies? It's not even time for desert yet!

Miss Smith

(Puts her hand on his zipper) It's your birthday babe. It's always time for desert.

Holt

(Blushing) Mmm, babe. You're getting spicy tonight. Let me close the curtains before we get busy. I don't want any...you know...peeping toms.

"Holt cautiously walked towards his back window, giving his surroundings a momentary glance as he placed his hands on his curtains. He squinted. He could see the silhouette of a man that appeared to be in all black, laying prone on a distant rooftop with a sniper rifle in hand. Holt slowly closed the curtain, tapping the small, black earpiece that sat in his ear"

Holt

Julian, I have visual on a sniper. 40 degrees north, three buildings to the right.

Julian (from earpiece)

I have eyes on him. I'm going to get him to fire a shot first. Then we'll nail him.

"Holt nervously looked at Miss Smith, who had snuggled close to him in order to hear Julian's orders through Holt's headset."

Julian

On the count of three, I want you guys to duck okay?

"Holt and Miss Smith looked at each other, grabbing each others hand giving a silent nod"
