The Finales I: Date Of Fire Page #21

Lo (walking towards her): I haven’t heard that one before.

Emma (Looking at him): What are you trying to say?

Lo:
A woman has never called me cute.

Emma:
Your mom never called you cute?

Lo:
Well, I don’t exactly know, She had me at twelve, so maybe her mom, who raised me until I was 7, when her mom died, called me cute.

Emma:
That’d be your grandma.

Lo:
Luckily for her, she inherited the house. She got a job, but it isn’t a very good one, She was a hostess at a club, Need I say more?

Emma:
Oh, OH. (she touches his cheek) You poor baby. What was her name?

Lo:
Nate, By the way, Yes, I thought it was a Male name too, but her mom was expecting a boy, so she kept the name anyway.

Emma:
Ah.

Emma and Lo walk to an employee, She asks him about a 900$ computer, We then cut back to the remaining squad in the van. Dave is asleep, still watching Spider-Man, Chase and Bill are trying to make root beer bubbles in their mouth, and Devin is playing some football game on his phone.

Devin (throwing his phone on the ground): F***! Strike one.

Bill (stopping the bubbles): I’ve never heard of a football game with “Strike One” before.

Chase (stopping also): Meh, I have.

Bill:
Probably because I mainly play Wrestling games, mainly UFC.

Chase:
I’ve never heard of someone play a UFC game, much less say it is their main.

Bill (laughing):
They’re the cheapest ones! What do you expect?! They’re the same game every time anyway, albeit a couple of different songs.

Devin:
A couple?

Lo and Emma open the back, and throw a boxed laptop in there, Dave instantly wakes up and grabs it.

Emma:
Nice catch, sleepyhead!

They get in, Lo drives off, and Emma pulls out her USB, and as she opens up the laptop, She puts it in.

Emma (asking Lo): What hacks do you guys want? Tracking people? News hacks--?

Lo:
A fire guy, see about them.

Emma (typing on the keyboard): Alright, Checking database.

Chase:
There's a f***ing database for this?

Emma:
IF you’re part of the dark web like I am, yes.

Bill:
Jesus, Lo, You’re f***ing insane! Recruiting a dark web--

Lo:
She’s perfectly fine.

Emma (touching the screen): What’d you say your mom’s name was, Lo?

Lo:
Nate, Why?

Emma:
Last Name?

As Lo says the Last name, Devin coughs, but Emma hears it.

Emma:
Oh my god, Lo, The fire guy is your mom.

Lo stops the van, and walks to her.

Lo:
No, No, No.

Emma:
Take a look.

Lo looks. He gasps, and begins shaking, he begins dripping.

Emma:
Jesus, Get away!

Lo (walking around): No, No, No--

Devin:
Jesus Christ, This is just getting funnier and funnier, huh?

Lo:
You think this is funny?! You son of a--

Chase:
Guys?

Devin:
It’s kinda amusing.

Emma:
Amusing?

Lo (punching Devin): I’ll kill you! I’ll f***ing kill you--!

Devin suddenly grows a brown shield from his arms, and begins smacking Lo with it.

Devin:
YOU WON’T! YOU--

Dave begins choking Devin, Emma grabs his hands.

Devin:
Alright! Alright!

Dave:
You don’t hit him, YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!

Dave lets go of him, Bill however, screams ENOUGH, and blows open the van doors by throwing his hands at them, Emma throws Devin out of the van, and Bill blows her out of the Van too due to the wind. She gets back in.

Chase:
What are you fools doing?!

Emma:
He’s insane--!

Lo (getting up):
Let him in.

Emma:
What?! He just hit you--!

Lo:
It doesn’t matter, All that matters is we get Nate.

Bill:
That’s your mom, What are you doing, calling her by her name?

Emma:
Why didn’t you do anything there?! Huh?!

Bill:
I thought you guys had it.

Emma (slapping him): Why’d you push me out?!

Bill:
I’ll swing you out of here, You better back the (Lo gets in his seat on his head falls on the horn, causing it to blare as Bill curses, Lo wakes up) up!

Emma (sitting down and getting back on her laptop): Alright! Okay!

Bill sits down as Rachel looks at them with wide eyes.

Lo:
Somebody grab the mother--

Devin:
I’m coming, I’m coming.

Devin gets in the van, He sits down, and Chase hands him a root beer.

Chase:
Here, Have a beer, you’re going to need it.

Devin:
Oh, You don’t have to tell me twice!

Devin opens up the root beer, and begins gulping it down, We fade on a shot of them driving down a highway, with the conversation characters they’re having playing over the shot.

Emma:
According to the police radar, She was last at Bozeman.

Lo:
That was where we lived.

Dave:
Wait, You’re watching Full House in another tab?

Emma:
A girl likes her old sitcoms.

Devin:
My can’s empty.

Chase:
Here’s your 6th one in 10 mins.

Devin:
My diabetes is going to kill me.

Bill:
You’re already going to be killed by Firen or whatever y’all are calling her, so…

Devin:
No, You will.

Bill:
Okay, Okay, The cat will.

Lo:
I’ll turn and kill all of us if y’all won’t shut up about who will die. Nobody will die!

Emma:
Are we sure about that?

Rachel:
Meow?

Lo:
Don’t touch that, DON’T TOUCH THAT!

Devin:
Well, Rachel’s got a bath now.

Bill:
That’ll save us the hassle of bathing a cat--

Emma:
That sounded wrong.

Devin:
I’m out of beer!

Dave:
Root beer, not beer.

We cut to Nate lighting a candle with her finger, She begins writing a note with her fire nails, but she stops as we hear creaking. She gets up, and walks down in the basement, she snaps her fingers with the fingers on her left hand, and she creates a new candle. She begins yelling, She sees a cat lying down, with 7 kittens. The cat sees her. Nate sneezes.

Nate:
I hate cats.

Nate runs out of the house, the house explodes, and an old guy sitting on his rocking chair outside looks at the fire girl, the chair is creaking as he rocks it. She throws a fireball at him, and she laughs. She begins walking to the square in the middle of the city.

Nate:
Time to be burning light of life.

Nate becomes a fireball, and she begins levitating towards the square of the city, We cut back to the squad, We cut inside the van, a black guy is in the van, talking.

Chris:
So the white tried to hit me, and I shot my bow. Safe to say, He ain’t hitting no more.

Lo:
How long to Shoot Square?

Emma:
This bridge is a long one, so a while.

Dave:
Why are we going to Times Square but in Montana?

Devin:
A lot of superhero battles in the movies and comics happen in Times Square, and this is in Montana, So, If you put 2 and 2 together, Well…

Bill:
Movie! Movie is the key word there.

Chase:
I agree with Lo and Emma. Where do you think she’ll get her inspiration and ideas for attacking from?

Bill:
I don’t know, ACTUALLY GO TO TIMES SQUARE?

Dave:
Oh no, heaven forbid!

Chris:
New York?! Oh no, Too much product placement!

Chris winks at the camera.

Lo:
It is like we’re in a f***ing movie, We have to follow the rules to succeed.

Devin:
Do movies really have rules to make the characters succeed? ‘

Lo:
They better, or we’re failed.

They drive to the city, They’re driving down the road, and it is oddly quiet. People are either slowly running, or not there at all, and they’re either screaming very quietly, or their whispering the word Fire.
