TRIACS (16)

ON THE WAY HOME

INT: FBI CENTRAL-L.A. COUNTY OFFICE-INTERROGATION-10 P.M.

TRYING TO EXTRAPOLATE ANY INFORMATION OUT OF JENNIFER CONNERS IS PROVING HOPELESS

CHIEF AGENT BILLY SINCLAIR IS DOING HIS BEST TO BREAK HER DOWN

SINCLAIR

"Okay Miss Conners...you use'd a last name as an alias, what was the Connery suppose to do...throw us off, haven't you heard of facial recognition?"

JENNIFER

"Look, I don't even know what you pigs are talking about...I'm not an international extortionist or deal maker, I don't know what your talking about!"

AGENT ELLISON GRABS FILES THEY RETRIEVED FROM THE INTERPOL DATA BASE AND PLOPS THE STACK OF FILES SHOWING SURVEILLANCE PICTURES, CHARGES, AND COPY'S OF PLEA DEALS, AND SUSPENDED CONVICTIONS ONTO THE TABLE IN FRONT OF HER 

AGENT ELLISON

"Well, for heaven's sake, please explain to me why your mugshots which match your fingerprints, why your voice print syncs up to the data bank, matches all your surveillance audio...and this is coming from all points of the world...just a coincidence, a happenstance...do you have a carnal twin running around just making you look bad...we are dealing with the North Korean syndicate here, don't you realise that they were not intending to let you live anyway...you clearly had knowledge of what the Triac could do and you deliberately activated it as you were leaving Palmdale munitions...murdering twenty-two soldiers in the process...we know what happened!" 

JENNIFER

"Then hang me then...if your so sure, why should I testify or admit anything...girl's got to eat, too!

SINCLAIR

"I've heard enough, just turn her over to the prosecutor and let them file formal charges, I don't have all day to play with you woman...you know, we could have maybe cut you a deal if you would have had any tenacity toward being helpful, but you want to play hardball...with the feds, really now...are you that full of yourself?"

ELLISON

"Considering how many agencies would like to get your hands on you...not to mention a couple of syndicates and cartels...we ought to just cut you lose right now, cause you know that would be a guaranteed death sentence!"

SINCLAIR

"It would certainly save the taxpayers a lot of money...hey Ellison...think we should just cut her lose, she doesn't want to help?"

ELLISON

"Sounds like a plan...we could release her tonight, just throw her to the dogs, she probably wouldn't make it to the morning!"

SINCLAIR

"I don't see why not...guard, take Miss Connors to her cell, and get her some lunch...maybe hook her up with one of those delectable green Bologna sandwiches...

JENNIFER

"You guys are nuts...you can't just let me go like that?"

SINCLAIR

"Watch us, guard...well okay, I've got to be sensitive here...I guess you can stay...for a little while?"

(1 Hour Later)

ENT: FBI CENTRAL-PREPARATION ROOM-1 P.M.

AGENT PAUL HORN HAS JOINED AGENT ELLISON TO PLAN FIELD TRIP BACK OVER TO PALMDALE TO DELIVER TRIAC BACK TO GENERAL FRANK HALL WHO IS GETTING DESPERATE TO BE IN POSSESSION OF IT

AGENT ELLISON ON PHONE TO HIM NOW

"Well General, we were thinking of bringing it over by armored truck, maybe some marked and unmarked escorts...does that work for you?"

GENERAL HALL

"I don't care how you get it over here...the engineers from fabrication are here...see if we can't get the production set up for some duplicates...if you can do it this afternoon, that would be great...thanks for the retrieval guys...good job!"

ELLISON

"That's what we're here for sir...see you this afternoon, bye!"

AGENT PAUL HORN

"Certainly seemed thrilled with the outcome, but I can't figure where General Welsh disappeared to?"

ELLISON

"Well, I was told that he took retirement, left town to be with his family or something..."

HORN

"No, somethings not right with the way he just jumped up and disappeared, you don't find anything weird about how it just so happened during all this mess?"

ELLISON

"We went through the phone records of Jennifer and the General...apparently it wasn't like they just hooked up for the first time...and with programs like this, people will vanish and never be seen again...I'm not saying that's what happened with Welsh, but I wouldn't put it past them without a second look...anyway let's go deliver a Triac, everyone will Love us when we bring them their bullet popper offer...heard it can do all kinds of stuff!

HORN

"Bullet Popper Offer?"

ELLISON

"Yea, a BPO for short, like great you know...some more acronyms to remember!"

(1 Hour Later)

WRAPPED IN A BIG BANK BAG, AFTER A LAST MOMENT DECISION ELLISON HAS DECIDED THAT HE WAS JUST GOING TO TAKE IT IN HIS BRIEFCASE IN HIS CAR AND USE THE ARMORED TRUCK AS A DECOY

AGENT HORN

"Your really suspicious aren't you, think everybody is..."

AGENT ELLISON

"Listening in...you damn right, I don't care if your the cartel or the syndicate, if you dropped ten million for somebody to get you a specific, one of a kind device of destruction, like a nuke or something...yea, I would follow up on my little investment...for sure, don't forget Horn, these guys have access to the same kinds of equipment as we do...hell, they could be listening to us right now for all I know!"

ELLISON

"Yes it is, the world has gone crazy, sir we were attacked...we lost men, but more importantly we have your device...that's why you need to calm down and try to stay focused...think you can do that for me?"

(30 Minutes Later)

HALL

"Good to see you again Ellison, I still can't believe something this small can cause so much mayhem, what is it with this thing?"


ELLISON

"It's a device that will change the world, or haven't you heard?"


HALL

"All I know is that it blows up bullets when they're within range!"


ELLISON

"Let's try missiles, hand grenades, and underground mines, roadside bombs...yea it does the bullets, too!"


AGENT HORN

"Is your engineer here?"
