**INT. DARK ROOM**
Leo and Louis sat in the dimly lit room, a single light hanging from the center. Ganda entered, and Leo whispered to Louis.
**LEO:** Isn't that Dean Ganda?
**LOUIS:** Shhhh, let me handle this.
Ganda sat in front of them, smiling.
**MISS GANDA:** Let's make this quick. Tell me what you know.
**LOUIS:** What do you think I know?
**MISS GANDA:** I think you know what I think you know.
**LOUIS:** What if I don't know?
**MISS GANDA:** I know you know.
**LOUIS:** I don't know.
**MISS GANDA:** Then you don't wish to know what I want to offer if you know.
**LOUIS:** If I knew what you wished to offer, then maybe I would know.
**MISS GANDA:** I will offer her back.
Louis's eyes grew wider.
**LOUIS:** Then I know.
Leo looked on, confused.
**LEO:** What just happened?
**LOUIS:** If you, you know.
**MISS GANDA:** Are you in?
**LOUIS:** What will it cost me?
**MISS GANDA:** The purple rose from Lysander garden. It has the power relic that will return anything to its original form.
**LEO:** Even the pot?
**MISS GANDA:** Yes!
Louis remained unconvinced.
**LOUIS:** Why would you want that?
**MISS GANDA:** Because if that pot eventually breaks and the souls are set free, a lot of bodies will drop dead, and my people will be trapped in it, including myself. Look, we both want the same thing, which is to seal the pot.
**LEO:** How do we get it?
**MISS GANDA:** I know that there is a deity helping you.
Leo and Louis were shocked.
**MISS GANDA:** So, do we have a deal?
Miss Ganda extended her hand for a shake. Louis thought about it for a while and shook it. Miss Ganda stood up and headed to the doors, but she paused and turned.
**MISS GANDA:** Also, return the autopsy to Dr. Sam; he is curious, and he blames me.
**LOUIS:** How did you...?
**LEO:** You know a lot.
**MISS GANDA:** Just so you know.
She walked out, leaving the cleaner already at the other side of the door.
**THE CLEANER:** How did you know they had a deity helping?
**MISS GANDA:** I don't know; I just guessed. But now I wonder which deity.
**FADE OUT**
**EXT. PARKING LOT**
Dr. Sam was about to enter his car when he noticed the autopsy.
**FADE OUT**
**INT. LEO'S HOUSE**
Leo, Louis, C.M., and Zoey were in the parlor.
**LOUIS:** Take us to Lysander's garden.
**C.M.:** And for the 100th time, I'm not sending you to your death.
**LOUIS:** How dangerous is he?
**C.M.:** Lysander is a fallen angel, rejected in both hell and heaven. The pain of rejection made him ruthless. He doesn't care about anything as long as he wins.
**LEO:** So, he is a killer?
**C.M.:** No, a traitor. An eye for an eye, head for head.
**ZOEY:** There is nothing to trade; we should just let Ganda and her people die.
**LOUIS:** And our own people too. What happened to you being a woman of justice?
**LEO:** Louis, no.
**ZOEY:** He is right; I changed.
C.M. stood, looking at them argue, feeling for them.
**C.M.:** Alright! There is something to trade.
He brought out a crafty metal.
**C.M.:** The key to heaven.
**LOUIS:** That's right! A fallen angel would love to see his old home.
**ZOEY:** Some of us are so away from home for a long time that they don't see it as home anymore. I just hope he wants to go home.
C.M. walked to Zoey and gave her a button.
**C.M.:** Press it when things go south, and it will bring us home.
C.M. did his thing, and they vanished.
**FADE TO:**
**EXT. CREEPY ZONE**
They appeared at the zone, and Lysander spoke.
**LYSANDER:** Who dares wake me?
**C.M.:** You never sleep.
**LYSANDER:** Someone who knows me. I see.
She appeared before them.
**LYSANDER:** What do you seek?
C.M. stepped forward.
**C.M.:** The purple rose.
She moved to Zoey, gazing deep into her eyes.
**LYSANDER:** I see. The pot is broken.
She giggled.
**ZOEY:** We mean no evil; we just want to save our people.
**LYSANDER:** I know, my dear, but with the right price, I shall grant your wish.
C.M. brought out the key.
**LYSANDER:** You think I have the intention of going back to Daddy?
She laughed.
**LYSANDER:** You have nothing to trade; leave at once.
Their faces dropped.
**C.M.:** Zoey, press the button.
Zoey hesitated but then stopped herself from pressing it.
**ZOEY:** We have something to trade.
**LEO:** We do?
**C.M.:** Zoey, what are you doing?
**ZOEY:** Grant us the rose, and we shall return the pot after we fix it.
**LOUIS:** Zoey, no.
**LYSANDER:** Nice deal.
She brought out the rose, and it flew to them. As Zoey held it, a mark appeared on her arm, except for C.M.
**LYSANDER:** You have a year to bring back the pot to me, or your souls will be mine.
**LOUIS:** Zoey, what have you done?
**SLAM TO BLACK.**
**EXT. TWO WEEKS LATER, SCHOOL LAWN**
Leo and Louis, along with other students, were waiting. The school bus arrived, and the "dead" students got off, greeting their friends. Louis approached his girlfriend, Stella.
**LOUIS:** Stella! (smiling)
**STELLA:** Who are you?
**SLAM TO BLACK.**
**TO BE CONTINUED**
