Chapter 9 - Anger

Nex stands up from the table and says:

"I had a feeling something big was about to happen. So much talk… and I don't even do any real work. Still, I've got so much love in me."

He laughs while saying:

"That meal hit the spot though!"

Then he pauses, thinks for a moment:

"Hmm… what now? I didn't even say anything, and they kicked me out of my own house. What am I supposed to do now? Feels like I won't be getting back in anytime soon."

He sighs:

"Let me just think for a bit..."

A few seconds pass. He suddenly gets an idea.

Nex:

"Hmm... let's go, for a walk "

Scene change – walking down the street.

Nex notices a small shop, grabs a can of juice, drinks a little, then smiles.

Nex:

"Yeh, this one's actually good."

Random passerby:

"Of course! That's a Skyline product."

Nex nods:

"You're right."

He suddenly looks directly toward the camera.

Another man nearby looks the same way. They both glance at each other, then forward again.

Nex:

"That's my cat."

Cat (alarmed):

"Oh shit—let's get out of here!"

But Nex quickly grabs him.

Nex:

"Hey! Batman! Cat's disappeared!"

Cat:

"I was forgotten… because of that girl."

Nex:

"Oh, sorry."

Cat (muttering):

"Always chasing girls…"

Nex (sternly):

"Maybe you're forgetting your status. When I said sorry, I meant it. Don't push your luck."

Cat (quickly backtracking):

"Soorry, master..."

Nex (grinning):

"Alright, alright. Come with me. There's some ghost work to handle."

Nex:

"Taxi!"

Scene: CBI Office

Nex arrives in a building.The car stops. He steps out and enters the building, walking straight into a lift.

The lift doors close behind him.

From the corner, the cat appears. The number 0905 lights up on the lift panel.

A hidden eye scanner slides out. Billa (the cat) scans his eye. The wall behind the lift opens into a secret passage.

The lift stops. Nex steps out. Everyone who was talking goes completely silent upon seeing him.

He walks forward calmly — heading straight into the Boss's private room.

Boss:

"Oh, so you finally show up. Weren't you... busy chasing girls or something?"

Nex (sighs):

"I wasn't agreeing to that stuff — that's why I came.

(quietly) What do I even say... I got thrown out of the house."

Assistant:

"Next, we have two updates — one good, one bad.

Which one do you want first?"

Nex:

"Obviously, the bad one."

Assistant:

"Dante has escaped from jail."

Nex:

"What's the big deal? He was just a small-time drug dealer."

Boss (seriously):

"No, Nex. No regular drug dealer owns a nuclear submarine."

Nex (sarcastically):

"Well, that's comforting. Alright, forget it. Tell me the good news now."

Assistant (awkwardly):

"Uhh… I think your life might be in danger now."

Nex (dry):

"This is the good news?"

Nex (shrugs):

"Anyway, no worries. Boss, can we go your home for lunch today?"

Boss (in disbelief):

"Your life's in danger and you're thinking about lunch?

Whatever, fine — don't stop him. Let him go."

Nex:

"Great. Lunch is on me then."

Nex

"Hmm… by the way, your assistant makes amazing food."

Assistant (quickly):

"Oh— sorry, sorry!"

Cat (muttering):

"Sometimes even I don't get her..."

Boss (laughing):

"You're a funny guy, Nex. Just look at this — assistant at the office, and the same one as a lonely wife at home!"

Assistant (grumbling):

"If only I hadn't helped you cheat in the exam that day..."

Friend:

"I got more marks than you anyway."

Meanwhile, Nex and the cat are both eating quietly.

Assistant (teasing):

"Feels like you're forgetting who the real boss is at home."

Boss (smiling):

"Yeah, yeah… okay, you win.
