In the gutter? (off Gold Starr)

[Trash]

The sanity assassin lays on the pavement, rolling in the gutter as he sees the two guards of AC Slater leave the street and go back inside the building. His gut hurts and the cheek burns from the slap, but Trash smiles.

He's getting to him.

He's getting to all of them.

Trash steps back inside the arena, holding his gut and buying a ticket as the concierge looks concerned. The sanity assassin smiles and slips backstage unnoticed. As he walks, scanning the arena, he bumps into a woman holding a pitcher of iced tea.

Woman : Whoops! I'm sorry!

Trash : Sorry?

Woman : I dont have time, I gotta get this Iced Tea to Mr. Slater.

Trash furrows his brow. Mr. Slater? So this is one of his girls huh.

Trash steps up, taking the pitcher out of her hands.

Trash : Thats exactly why I stopped you, ma'am. This Iced Tea is very poor quality...it actually has no sugar in it...I dont think Mr. Slater would be too happy getting something like this, now would he?

The girl looks concerned.

Woman : No, no. I don't...think so. So...where do I get, normal, Iced Tea?

Trash laughs, trying to sound as normal and natural as possible.

Trash : Why let me add it of course. You stay right here, I'm gonna take a trip to the kitchen and bring it right back...

Before he could listen to her response, Trash leaves with the pitcher. The girl shrugs her shoulders and stands waiting, hoping that the strange man will bring her back the Iced Tea.

And of course, he will.

Trash doesn't go in the kitchen, no, instead he goes into a first aid room, opening and foraging through a medicine cabinet before taking out some pills and dissolving them in the iced tea. He looks into the camera with a fiendish smile.

Trash : Just to make sure you dont accidently decide to show up...these should give you a good few hours of a nap, Mr. Superstar...

Minutes later Trash hands the jug back to the girl.

Woman : You fixed it! Thank you, I dont know what trouble Mr. Slater would have had me in if I brought him that damn unsweetened tea!

But her words are spoken to nobody, as Trash had already dissapeared into the black recess of the hallway.
TBC ?
