A Clandestine Meeting
Henry
You sure you're ready for this? Jithin's been distant all week.
Henry
I have a bad feeling about this meeting.
Stacy
It's the only way to find out what's going on. I'm not going to let this secret destroy us.
Stacy
Meet me at the old abandoned docks after sunset. Jithin's already waiting.
Hellan
what are you guys yapping about?
Hellan
I’ve been studying the crime scenes. Every single one has a slight manipulation of the air pressure.
Hellan
A tiny change, almost impossible to detect without a specialized sensor.
Hellan
I think it’s his power, not just a result of his movements
Stellar
That's a breakthrough, Hellan! What does it mean?
Hellan
It means he isn't just fast. He's also a master of misdirection.
Hellan
He's using his powers to throw us off. He’s not a ghost; he's a showman.
Later in an old abandoned docks at night
Henry arrives and sees Jithin and Stacy
Henry
You look serious. What’s going on, Jithin?
Jithin
Look, I can't keep doing this. I'm caught in the middle.
Jithin
We're all in danger. Shannon is… I can’t explain it. He’s changed.
Jithin
He’s not just stealing anymore. He’s building something. Something powerful. And I don’t think he’s working alone.
Stacy
What are you talking about? Who's with him?
Jithin
I can't tell you. But... I can’t be a part of it anymore. I'm not a killer.
Henry
Then help us stop him. You know his weaknesses. You know his plans.
Jithin
I can't. Not directly. If he finds out I'm helping you, he'll kill me. But I can give you a hint.
Jithin
The next target isn’t an object. It's a person. Someone close to the throne.
Stacy
*looks at Henry, worried* A person? Who?
Jithin
I don’t know. I just know it’s for someone else. He's being ordered.
Jithin
I have to go now. Don't try to follow me. Stay safe, both of you.*He vanishes into the night, leaving Henry and Stacy alone*
Henry
Someone close to the throne... is he talking about Reo?
Stacy
It has to be. But who would want him killed? He’s loved by everyone.
Henry
Everyone? I don't think so. There are people who see kindness as a weakness.
Stacy
We have to tell the others. We have to tell Hellan and Stellar.
Henry
No. Not yet. We don't have proof. Jithin's warning... it's just a feeling.
Henry
We go in there and say we have a tip from a wanted criminal? They won't believe us.
Henry
We have to find proof first. We can't put Reo on high alert without something concrete.
