Meet ROYCE RELTY
"Go." said Royce to Mika.
Mika broke through the locked door.
The two walked in the lodge. Royce examined the area, and witnessed a glimpse of an old friend hiding around the corner atop the stairs, "Why hello there, Eliza. It's been a while, hasn't it?"
"Stay away, from me!" She screamed.
"You!" Said Trevor as he tried to stand up to Royce's height, but failed, resulting him to fall back on the couch.
"Who are you?" Demanded Misty.
Royce looked towards her and and gave her an evil smile, "I'm the one that brought you all here."
ROYCE RELTY and ELIZA BROWNING
She had that look of 'I hate my job'; she wore waitress's attire with a little with name-tag pinned on it that said, "Welcome to 'Fatty's Diner' I'm Eliza, how may I help you?". Royce studied her name-tag, then her movement and apparent emotions, you won't be any difficulty. He walked over to the counter and politely sat down. He sat next to the waitress, so she would notice him quicker. He wore his business suit to seem professional.
"Hello there, how are you today?" She said.
"I'm doing well, thank you." Royce examined pattern of placing dishes. It was like she compulsively and intentionally played a previously written song via placing the glass, plate, and silverware. He sang the song her placing pattern made, "Oh where, oh where can my- baby be? The lord took her away from me."
"That's so weird!" The waitress excitedly said.
"What is?" He asked her, already knowing the answer.
"I've had that song stuck in my head ALL day, and now you're singing it."
She probably doesn't know that it's a remake. "Do you know any other songs by Pearl Jam?"
"No, not really. I'm more of a Dragon-Force fan."
"You? A speed-metal fan?" Royce made sure to use the word "speed-metal".
"Yeah," She said, "my boyfriend got me into it."
"Do I know him?"
"Probably not. His name is Trevor [last name]."
Royce beckoned to her as a gesture to come closer. She did. He whispered, "Your boyfriend, Trevor- has something of mine. You don't know what it is, but I do. I will find him and I will get back what is mine. You have six hours to go to this place," He slid a brochure of the lodge in front of her. "Leave work early. Don't take call him, and DON'T contact the authorities."
"What makes you think I won't call the police?" She whispered angrily.
Royce took out his fake police badge with an alias inscribed on it and showed her, "That's why."
She bought it, "If you do anything to him, you sick freak-"
"I won't. I promise." He walked away and sneaked a photograph of Eliza.
ROYCE RELTY and TREVOR
He saw Trevor, walking to his car, from afar, as Royce ran up to him, he said while bent over, and huffing, "Are you Trevor [last name]?"
"Yeah. Why?" Trevor asked.
"Your girlfriend is in danger." Royce stood up and held out Eliza's photo, and Mika's.
"I don't have time for this." Trevor declared, and walked away.
Royce grabbed him by the shoulder, "Eliza is being hunted down by this woman," Royce gave him Mika's photograph "You need to find Eliza and stay there. I will follow safely behind you."
"Why?"
Royce held out his pseudo-badge, "Because this woman will find Eliza, and I will arrest her at the scene." he put his badge away, "If you have your Eliza's number, call it. Don't tell her about this, it may make it worse for her."
Trevor pulled out his phone, and dialed, it seemed he was waiting nervously for her to pick up. Her voice message could be heard. "No answer."
"It's okay, I can track her phone." He said as if he didn't already know where she was. Royce picked up his cellular phone and dialed, he turned it down so that Trevor could not hear what was said.
The person answered, "Hello?"
"Yeah, I need you to triangulate this number," He looked over and placed the phone towards Trevor's face, "Tell them her number."
Trevor stated her phone number.
Royce pulled the phone away from Trevor's face, and placed it toward his, "Got that?" He secretly hung up, "Great, thanks." Then he shut his phone. "Where's the Anima Lodge, do you know?"
"Of course."
"Lead the way."
ROYCE RELTY and MIKA
(Before He Met Trevor)
He walked over to her. Studied her posture and apparent emotions. She's lost. "Excuse ma'am?" She looked over to him. He pulled out his pseudo-badge.
"Can I help you officer?" She said curiously.
She seems like the type that will only believe me if it's unbelievable. "You are needed to help the local police to find a wanted criminal, she responds to the name of Eliza."
"Why me?" She asked seeming bothered.
"Our protocol requires one uniformed officer during an arrest to make it legal and dodge accusations of entrapment. This criminal knows that she is wanted, and I'm the only officer on the case, therefore ma'am we need you, now."
"Where is your uniform?" She said while looking at his business suit.
"Are you new to this city, ma'am?" He asked.
"Yes."
Good. "This is our local police uniforms."
"So, how can I help?"
"Do you have a phone? If so I need your number."
She gave Royce her number.
"I will give you a call. Answer it. I'll be in public so I'll say some nonsense. When you hear another male's voice in the phone it means it'll be your queue to get into a vehicle, any kind, even taxi. Follow my instructions on how to get to the criminal's location."
"Okay." She said.
"Oh and one more thing," He took out his camera, "We'll need your photo for later." And he took her picture. "Here, you may need this, for protection." He handed the dagger over to her. She took it.
"I hope we catch this criminal soon," she said, "I heard that it was supposed to be stormy weather today."
He nodded, as he walked away and he came back to his residence and had the two photos printed.
