TRIACS (13)



INTERROGATION ANYONE?




PALMDALE MUNITIONS PLANT-INTERROGATION ROOM-8 A.M.

GUARDS BRINGING IN GENERAL WELSH FROM HOLDING ROOM AND SECURING HIM LOOSELY BY THE FEET

THE GENERAL IS NOT IN A VERY COOPERATIVE MOOD AND IS TRYING TO PUSH THE GUARDS AWAY


LEAD GUARD

"Please sir, it's just a hearing...you have not been accused of anything at this point, do you understand?


WELSH

"Sir, this is an issue of national security, have me all chained up like this is not getting us anywhere, do you understand?"


LEAD GUARD

"Be it as it may, I have my orders to secure you and wait for further instructions...that's all I know, General Sir!"

THE GUARDS LEAVE THE ROOM, LEAVING THE GENERAL WITH A LONE CUP OF COFFEE WITH A STRAW STICKING OUT OF IT

HE LABORS TO BEND ACROSS THE TABLE TO TAKE A SIP, LOOKING DOWN AT THE CHAINS AROUND HIS LEGS, HE SIGHS

SUDDENLY, THE BACK ENTRANCE DOOR OPENS AND GENERAL HALL APPEARS WITH A STENOGRAPHER, A PHOTOGRAPHER, AND TWO ATTORNEY'S FROM THE NSA, AND DETECTIVE PETERS FROM LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE OF SPECIAL OPERATIONS

EVERYONE SITS DOWN, AS A LAST MOMENT CLERIC GOES AROUND THE HUGE TABLE WITH A BREAKFAST CART PASSING OUT COFFEE, WATER BOTTLES, AND CROISSANTS

GENERAL WELSH SITS AT THE VERY END OF THE TABLE FACING THEM


GENERAL HALL

"We're all gathered here this morning because of a mishandling of a very lucrative and deadly military device that General Welsh has apparently mishandled and is now apparently devoid of ...would you care to make a statement or comment regarding such accusation General?"


GENERAL WELSH

"This is all rubbish, the Triac was..."


JERRY HODGE-CHIEF NSA COUNSEL


"Strike that name from the record, this is a highly classified top secret device, from now on we will refer the device as only the device!"


GENERAL WELSH

"Yea, whatever...the girl has the device now, so what's the point here?"


HODGE

"And how do you know of this girl, what was she doing on the facility grounds without a clearance and more importantly what was she doing in your office when the alleged altercation became suspect?


GENERAL WELSH

"She was an employee with Siemens Investment Group, she was curious about the Triac...I mean device...wanted to see what it looked like, she was an associate of Dale Clever who was in charge of development and implementation...apparently she was a fake, seemed to have her paperwork in order, how was I to know?"


DETECTIVE PETERS-L.A. SHERIFF"S SPECIAL OPERATIONS

"Well sir, you did know that we have information showing that a Clarice Defoe and Brevet Ackerman were founds murdered when their vehicle hit a tree due to an unusual explosion which occurred when their handguns both detonated in the car they were driving...


GENERAL WELSH

"I don't know these men, who are they?"


PETERS

"Let me finish General...and that a Dale Clever was found in his car inside Culver City, who was found dead just a couple of days ago of the same type of circumstance?"


GENERAL WELSH

"Well, once again...I didn't have anything to do with that...everybody is coming out of the woodwork, what's the tie in?"


PETERS

"And that two men were found on the tarmac of the Long Beach Airport last night who also seemed to be suffering from their guns too, accidentally blowing up killing them both, the Captain and crew men on board a jet bound to North Korea were found shot, we are thinking from the two men we found deceased at the foot of the entrance ramp...we've kept the media out of this so far, we also detected a set of footprints and some surveillance footage that match the video of your Jennifer as she entered the facility property and the parking garage of the airport...a positive I.D. hasn't been made...yet anyways...that's about all I have sir!"


GENERAL HALL

"Thank you detective, well Welsh...you look like you were set-up for this or they just were gutsy enough to smooth talk her way in, have a little fun, and walk right out of here...does it look that way to you?


GENERAL WELSH STARING AT THE GROUND

"Yes sir, I guess I was duped...but that doesn't change the fact that we no longer possess the device, where do we go with this?"


CARMEL KERSHAW-DEPUTY NSA COUNSEL

"Well assuming that they're are no implications being considered on your behalf, I would move for a simple retirement...with a full pension of course, but your actions are not to be disclosed beyond this room...because of your lengthy service to this unit, General Hall will accept your resignation from the division immediately after a debriefing which will occur this evening, where we feel it best you simply make a statement that you were suffering from exhaustion and wanted more family time...something along those lines, do you accept the offer as worded General?"


GENERAL WELSH LOOKING RELIEVED, TAKING DEEP BREATH

"Just like that...we're all good?"


GENERAL HALL

"Of course General, we understand how these things get all mixed up and misunderstood, it could happen to anyone when you think about it?"


GENERAL WELSH

"I don't know what to say...I told you all I know...I can't thank you enough for your understanding in this matter!"


GENERAL HALL

"Guard, please take General Welsh bake to the holding room, get his things, and we'll get everything in order for the debriefing tonight...then your release, sound good?"


GENERAL WELSH

"Can't thank you guys enough..."


GENERAL HALL

"This proceeding is now officially over, Detective Peters, Hodge...as usual, and Deputy Kershaw thanks for your expert advice in this matter.

EVERYONE SHAKING HANDS AND HEADS

(30 Minutes Later)

GUARDS LEADING WELSH DOWN TO ANOTHER HOLDING ROOM FURTHER DOWN THE CORRIDOR


GENERAL WELSH

"But, my things are in this room, why are you taking me down here?"


LEAD GUARD

"Oh, this one's a lot nicer, thought you might something to eat, take a nap, we'll bring your things down to you...don't you worry General!"

ENTERING INTO THE ROOM, YOU SEE AN UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF INSULATION

BUT IT DOES HAVE A REAL BED AND A FLT SCREEN TV

GENERAL WELSH SITS DOWN ON END OF THE BED


GENERAL WELSH

"You know, I've been serving here for many years, I don't ever remember seeing this room...or even that hallway?"


LEAD GUARD

"Oh, we reserve these room for special clients...probably weren't looking...we'll be right back General."

GUARD CLOSES DOOR AND TURNS AN AIR LOCK ON FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR

GENERAL CURIOUSLY GLANCES AT DOOR, FEELING HIS EARS POP A BIT, HE STARTS PLAYING WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL TO THE TV

GUARD OPENS CLOSET DOOR IN HALLWAY, EXPOSING A VALVE THAT JUST SAYS INSERTION, TURNING THE VALVE, NERVE GAS IS INJECTED INTO THE ROOM THROUGH SEALED NOZZLES

THE GENERAL STARTS TO HEAR THE GAS AS IT'S BEING INJECTED IN

TRIES TO GET UP AND BEAT ON DOOR

(30 Minutes Later)

GUARDS VENT OUT ROOM THROUGH AN EXTERIOR EXHAUST FAN

OPEN DOOR FINDING THE GENERAL LAYING DEAD

THEY PACK HIM INTO A BODY BAG, THEN INTO A MILITARY SHIPPING CRATE, AND PROCEED TO WHEEL HIM DOWN THE HALL TO THE BACK EXIT


LEAD GUARD

"Guess he didn't see that one coming?"


GUARD #2

"They never do, that nerve gas is a killer?"

BOTH LAUGHING


LEAD GUARD 

"The General said to take him over to the incinerator right away!"


GUARD #2

Well, he got his early retirement..."


LEAD GUARD

"Yea, no jail time, and those pesky interrogations..."


GUARD #2

"Yea, those things will kill your ass..."

BOTH LAUGHING AS THEY LOAD HIS BODY INTO THE INCINERATOR
