*It is around noon on Saturday afternoon. Drake Yoshida joins Arthur Wingate in a small, private alcove in a parking lot behind the Peter Venkman Memorial Arena. Arthur looks at his watch and harumphs.*
[Arthur:] "He kept us waiting for thirty minutes."
[Drake:] "At least the weather has cooled down."
*Arthur looks off in the distance and spots a limousine pulling in.*
[Arthur:] "Depends on your perspective. It seems to be rising again."
*Drake nods in recognition as the two prepare to greet the car. A tall driver gets out and opens the back door. Devin Kunn steps out of the car and glares at Arhur and Drake who back up to give him room to walk around.*
[Arthur:] "Mr. Kunn-"
[Devin:] "How dare you call me out in public like that!"
[Arthur:] "You put me in an impossible position."
[Devin:] "Then you are clearly unfit to lead. If it is so hard for you to make a wise decision under pressure, I could make it much easier for you and end your little promotion right now."
[Arthur:] "All you can do is suspend us from operating within these borders. The UBL has functioned on two other continents -"
[Drake:] "And the moon."
*Arthur looks at Drake as if he is initially annoyed but then smiles with pride.*
[Arthur:] "To misquote the great Nobu Nakazawa, the moon itself smiled on our promotion."
[Drake:] "That may not be a misquote. It's possible Nobu actually said that."
[Arthur:] "The point remains, Mr. Kunn. You gravely overestimate your position. Worse, you forget yourself in the presence of an actual English knight."
[Devin:] "I forget nothing and respect even less."
*We hear a round of applause coming from behind a large SUV in the parking lot. Geese Walker is the culprit and he emerges with surprising company following him in the form of Thunder Strike.*
[Devin:] "I should have suspected a shake-down. Do I need to remind you all that my office is part of the United States Department of International Commerce? I'm a fed."
[Thunder:] "You're a fraud."
*Geese smiles*
[Geese:] "It's remarkable how much more I enjoy your quips when we're on the same side."
[Devin:] "How dare you!"
[Thunder:] "How dare I do my due diligence on the trail of fake authority you left? Or how dare I take so long to notice it? I should have sniffed you out from the start but I acknowledge your ability. Creating shell companies is impressive subterfuge as it is, but doing it within the federal government is a masterpiece that threw even me."
[Arthur:] "As well as Drake, Geese, myself, and even Ruby Moreno."
[Geese:] "Exactly - which means it somehow threw Destiny."
[Thunder:] "Which means it either had to be Gauntlet from within or the only other one capable of this- "
*All four men look to the limousine as they hear the door on the other side open. Within a few seconds, a man in a nondescript black suit wearing sunglasses and an earpiece steps out.*
[Agent 0:] "Hello gentlemen. A true pleasure to see you all again."
*Continued in Part 2*
