In the pub, Ethan squaring off with John
"Comfortable John?"
" I am, suits me well enough Ethan. So precisely why I am I here?"
"Because I am am amused. Tell me why on earth did you ever enter into an agreement with McDaniels to seek me out?"
"Money. So who the hell are you?"
"Money. So who the hell are you?"
"Nice to know that you can be bought and sold"
Brodrick nearly shattered his glass of ale as he slammed it down onto the wooden table.
"Let's not have this become what simply stated is an untruth. My services are not for sale or up for negotiation."
"Says the man who McDaniels bought. Pandering on the side for beer money are we?"
"I'm wealthy in my own right, though I've no need to explain myself to the likes of you Hastings"
"I'm wealthy in my own right, though I've no need to explain myself to the likes of you Hastings"
"I've already had you investigated Brody. You do quite well for yourself, though I have to admit you could do much better. Short fuse on that temper, investments that are long term...you seeemingly take risks sporatically. Rather dull life if you ask me"
John smirked
"I didn't. And its not. What the hell is your point anyway?"
"My point is, Johnny, that you need to refrain from meandering your way into my business. I've better things to do with my time than see to you and your 'sudden' insatiable need to trouble me."
(John openly laughed)
"Is that what you'd refer to it as? Troubling? You're such an ass Ethan"
"Never said I wasn't. You need to leave this alone"
"Don't think that I will"
"Is that a fact?"
"It is."
"Than aknowledge the warnings. You'd be a fool to become involved with any of us"
"And perhaps you could cease being a prick and drop the elusive conversation"
"Right to the point then?"
"It would be a pleasent change of course, yes"
"I'm a priest, a dark one. Do you understand what I'm refering to?"
>"I do, continue"
"Delcan McDaniels stands in my way of procuring our battle. Let's call it a 'test of wills' for the sake of this conversation shall we? I will eliminate him if necessary, should it become apparent that he will not yield to her true nature"
"Sawyers...which is?"
"Yes, of course Sawyers, she is to fight"
"Yes, of course Sawyers, she is to fight"
"Let me see if I'm understanding you here, you are desiring to fight with a woman? Why the hell would you want to do that?"
"I'm a priest. This to us is quite the honor. Surely you've heard of our kind"
"Of course. Sick, twisted, nutters the lot of you"
"How quaint Brody"
"It's Brodrick"
"Who gives a shit...Brody?"
John leaned over grabbing Ethan by the throat, who in turn recipricated...gasping for air Ethan replied
John leaned over grabbing Ethan by the throat, who in turn recipricated...gasping for air Ethan replied
"Don't....don't...do this...I will fu**ing kill..you"
(also choking)
"You...could try"
(a large man appraoches)
"Is there a problem gentlemen? Should I ring the authorites for you?"
both men allowed the other release
Ethan cleared his throat
"No, merci"
(John)
"You're really pushing it Hastings"
"Likewise. I have to say however, you have gumption"
"You're nothing to me, gumption simply has nothing to do with this. Graehme does. He has his concerns, and quite frankly, after everything that I've seen, I do as well."
"What you harbor is irrelevant. Take the ticket and leave Paris"
"Actually I'd like to return this to you..." John removed the return ticket from his back jean pocket and callously tossed it over (crumpled) to Ethan
"You'll regret this. If it's not myself, than Declan will be the death of you Brodrick"
"Or I will be the end to you. Depends on how you're looking at it...well this has been truly enlightening, but I've got to go"
(John stood up readying himself to leave...Ethan looked up, smirking)
"She'll give in to me you know. It's in her blood"
"I'm simply doing a favor for a friend, your politics are just that, yours. I'd say it was fun but..."
"Leave Paris"
"Afternoon Ethan"
