THE BLACK SCORPIONS

EXT. Market Streets – Day

Esmeralda is in a hurry to get all the food supplies she needs but the market was crowded. She does her best to avoid knocking over anyone's stand. She crashes into a short man who looks terrifying due to his tattered beards and moustache. He also had a lot of tattoos.

ESMERALDA

(Nervous) I'm really sorry sir, I...

The man ignores her and walks away. She gives a sigh of relief as she quickly picks up her goods before anyone steps on them.

ESMERALDA

(To herself) That was rude.

Cuts To:

INT. Abandoned Building – Day

Salahodin enters the building to see Scar and Khunal already waiting for him.

SALAHODIN

(To Khunal)Is everything set for the initiation?

KHUNAL

(Nods)Yes.

SALAHODIN

Bring him in

Khunal and Scar goes into a dark room and drags out a young man. He is tied up with a black sack over his head. They pull the sack off and the confused man's eyes ran round the room trying to figure out where he is.

SALAHODIN

Diego, Khunal has told me everything. Are you ready for your initiation?

DIEGO

(Scared) I... In-Initiation...? No one said anything about that.

SALAHODIN

(Angry) Don't tell me you're backing out.

KHUNAL

(Cuts In) He's not, let me just talk to him for a minute.

SALAHODIN

He better not be.

Khunal unties Diego and the two moves to a corner to talk. Salahodin sits on a dusty chair and gives them a deadly stare. Scar leans on the wall drifting away in his thoughts.

KHUNAL

What the fuck dude?!

DIEGO

(Angry) That's what I should be asking you. You said they were friends.

KHUNAL

They are!

DIEGO

Well they don't seem friendly at all. (Looks at Salahodin) That guy looks like he could kill in his sleep! No man, I don't want in anymore.

KHUNAL

Look, I get that you're afraid but it's just a brotherhood. We help each other. Here you can get it all and remember you promised. Don't do what you did last time.

Diego is speechless and unwillingly follows Khunal to Salahodin.

SALAHODIN

So, what's it going to be?

DIEGO

(Reluctant) I'm in.

Scar opens up a secret passage that leads to their underground hideout.
