Premonition

 Visions of Laurel and Rhonny tortures his mind as he sleeps he's shocked into waking up. (Visions include Rhonny in a tube frozen to death, Laurel being shot dead, Laurel interacting with Rhonny on a train, a mysterious masked person being set o fire.)

He wakes up in a panic and sits up. He looks around and realizes that he's in a morgue. He falls off the table onto the floor. He hears voices from out of the room so he runs to hide. Seconds later two officers walk in with their flashlights and scan the room.

Suddenly he's overwhelmed with a nasty headache. The Two officers slowly make their way towards him as he struggles to stay hidden.

"Freeze, What are you doing here!" He turns and sees one of the officers holding a gun to him. "Wait a minute, that outfit, your supposed to be dead.

Not thinking he rushes the officers and luckily takes one down while the other one shoots him through the back. He reaches for the gun the other officer dropped and this causes the other officer to give him three warnings before he finally shoots him in the head.

" RUN FIGHT BREATHE HIDE REMEMBER LIVE REMEMBER LIVE REMEMBER"

He comes to and is shocked when he realizes he's hasn't been shot and the guards haven't discovered him yet. He decides to calm down and sneak his way past the guards towards the door. They end up seeing him at the last second but he gets away. He ends up running his way upstairs and out the door into the blackness of the night. He once again gets a headache only this time his vision consist of Laurel and Rhonny together at a police station, Laurel being shot and killed, Revy's house and the word SURVIVE echoing in his head.

Hospital scene

Meanwhile on the other side of the city, Laurel is on the floor covered in her own blood when suddenly she gasps and opens her eyes. The first thing that pops into her mind is to call the cops and to call her friend. After several tries of trying to call Revy she gives up and instead heads off to find her. As soon as exits the house she collapses on the ground and passes out. Moments later she wakes up in the hospital with wires, needles and a heart machine next to her. A doctor walks in after holding a clipboard and a distressed look on his face.

"I'm surprised you're awake, mam. You suffered three broken ribs and first degree burns. I'll prescribe you some medicine and you should be able to leave tomorrow. In time for the fireworks."

"The fireworks? The fourth of July isn't for another week. Okay, nevermind , I gotta go handle shit."

"The police want to ask you a few questions first."

Laurel leaves the hospital is rush and after a while of walking she starts to feel as if someone is watching her. (Johnny not far behind wearing a black hoodie and black plants with his hands in his pocket.) She turns into an ally and hides behind a dumpster. She hears footsteps approach her and then a voice, "I'm not going to hurt you, I know you died last week and just like me you I was brought back."

Laurel comes out from hiding, "So who the fuck are you then and don't lie, i'm a lawyer i can tell."

"The truth is, I woke up in a morgue surrounded by dead people last week. Had a few visions and they led me to you. Well, where's the other guy?"

"Other guy? What other guy and what do you mean by visions. I don't believe in that bullshit, dying and coming back after a week sure but not visions, okay."

"Then how would I know about you and Revy and everything else?"

"Simple you're a. What the hell? (Laurel sees a different colors outlining people in the background )

"What?"

(She blinks and everything's back to normal) "Nothing, so how did you die?"

"I've been wondering the same thing. All I remember is waking up in the morgue and considering the fact that my body wasn't decomposing it must've been an easy death, i'm guessing."

"Let's just pretend I believe this for a second. You said there was a third person, who's the third and where do we find them?"

"I don't know exactly, I just know what he looks like."

"You can't be serious?"

He lets out a laugh before saying, "Well all I can tell you is my name, which is Johnny and where I live."

Johnny's House

Laurel gets out of Johnny's car and is amazed at the size of Johnny's house, "I thought you had a house, this is a small machine. What job did you say you have?"

Johnny walks past up the steps, "I don't know what I do."

"You're kidding me. Mind if I ask you for a favor later?"

"Sure" Johnny says as he knocks on the door.

"You don't have a key?"

"I left in a hurry this morning. I didn't have time before you left the hospital."

A woman opens the door, "Mr. Balthazar, good to see you and who's your guest."

"This is Laurel and she'll be staying with us for a while."

"I'll make you two some lunch okay. "She says as she heads off.

Laurel turns to Johnny"You have a maid, really? Do you need a bodyguard by any chance?"

"I don't need one but why you ask?"

"Nevermind, so where's your room?"

"Go upstairs and to the left I've gotta check the cameras."

"For what?"

"To find out how I died, so I'll be up soon."

Johnny heads down the hall and stops at a large steel door. He types in the code on the keypad and enters cautiously. Once inside he sits in a chair in front of computer monitors, "Now what have I been up to?"

Laurel makes her way upstairs while talking on the phone, "Gunner have you seen Revy? Well when you do tell her we need to talk." After hanging up she rushes up the stairs into Johnny's room and is stunned at what she sees.

The room is like a giant library with multiple bookshelves. She makes a right and ends up finding his bed which is surrounded by dozens of opened books. She enters the room and sits on the bed. She picks up one of the books and starts reading. "He can't be serious? How many of these books are in Latin."

Meanwhile downstairs Johnny is yelling at the butler in the room. "What do you mean you don't know? I need to know what happened last week.

"Sir last week you were fine and as you can see the house is perfectly fine meaning you couldn't of been killed here. Plus we have a top notch security officers and cameras that run 24/7. Also there was no indication that you even left the premises last week, matter a fact you were reading all last week up in your study."

Johnny slams his fists on the desk and stares at the screen, "That's not possible!"
