Movie trailer #2

SCENE 21

As the scene opens Cabana man is sitting at his desk in the study of his sprawling warehouse apartment. It is a corner office and overlooks Vancouver's spectacular Stanley Park, with its old growth forest and miles of seawall for walking and biking. Two walls of the study are covered in 8 x 10 framed photos of beautiful women of all races, size and age. In the corner opposite of his desk stands an old pinball machine and a juke box which plays old vinyl 45's. The day is bright and clear and the windows are open and the sound of the city rises to his ears.2

He sits at his desk squinting at the screen of his computer, trying to decipher the information on the screen, muttering and swearing under his breath, as the camera pans left we see that on his computer screen is displayed a video game of questionable merit. The buzzer sounds on the console, he ignores it. It sounds again, followed by loud banging on his reinforced outer door,not urgent  so he ignores it. then the buzzer sounds and holds, the sound like a large mosquito in his ear, finally he pulls himself from his game of "Bimbo Poker", leans over to the console and hits the button. "What"? he spits into the microphone.3

"It's Carl boss" comes back the voice, imposing even over the speaker.4

"got something you might like to see". He could hear the laughter in the mans voice.  He hits the button to open the outer door and sits back in his chair, picking up his tea and sipping it. He hears the door squeal open and slam shut with so much force that he was thankful it was reinforced. Loud footfalls as Carl Malone took long strides down the hall. "If you are wearing your damned riding boots, you better not be leaving horse shit on my oak floors". he called out half joking. "Don't worry Boss, I scraped all the shit off in your car on the way over here". Laughing as he reached the office door, where he stopped with a glance at the Persian rugs on the floor and the little morsels of crap on his boots, and just walks in. At  6' 1" and 187 lbs, Carl Malone was a lean  mean former cop, he crosses the large office and extends a large hand that had seen alot of action, standing  Cabana Man takes it and his hand is instantly crushed by its force.5

"Good to have you back G , how did things go in Paris"? he asks as he sits in a chair across from him.6

"Well, things were a little tight for a while, but the boys managed to get inside for a better feel of the situation, and then it was just a matter of winning over the members of the French Maids union one by one, gruelling work,but very satisfying". using his mug of tea, he hides the smile that comes to his face.7

They had a long history together, did he and Carl. He first met Carl when Carl was a cop in northern California and he himself was a two bit criminal from Canada, smuggling large shipments of stolen goods back and forth over the border. Carl, recognizing some good in him, had convinced him to give up on his life of crime and go to the police and tell all. He owed alot to the man. They were re-acquainted years later, when he first started Cabana Man Inc.. Carl, retired by now, had gotten himself tangled up with the Evil Wenches, and it was in a fluke of luck that he happened to be chained naked to a table in an Evil Wench safe house when Cabana Man Inc. raided it. After much kicking and screaming and pleas for mercy, they dragged Carl forcibly from the house. He was bitter about being rescued, but in time grew to be thankful. Now at 55 and looking more like 45 with his full head of dark brown hair, Carl was the head of his intricate security and investigation team, he oversaw all major missions by Cabana Man Inc. He alone was trusted to the fullest amongst his many employees. Only Carl could take action without first checking with him.8

"So you been riding out at the ranch again this morning, any sign of Touch of Wonder"? his sources told him that she had been spotted leaving an airplane at Vancouver international airport with the co-pilot on one arm  and the pilot on the other, and a big grin on her face.9

"No sign whatsoever, but I have men going to all the large ranches further out in the Valley today to check it out....why do you seek her so intensely boss? It is Catressa we should be focusing on". Leave it to Carl to be logical, but this was personal business. "Just make sure she doesn't get away this time."10

Carl gave him a hard look and reached inside his pocket and pulled out a bundle of Cd's and tossed them on the table.11

"Take a look at these, they are the surveillance disks from the Bar last night, I thought you might enjoy them"12

Leaning forward he opens the bundle and finds the disk labelled "men's room", and slips it into the drive of his computer, and turns the screen so Carl can see as well. "Have you seen this yet"? he asks without looking away from the screen.13

"Yeah, I watched it at the bar on the big screen, frigging funny too Buddy, let me tell ya."14

The screen comes to life a woman's head can be seen in the nearest stall from the ceiling mounted Camera, She is tossing her head back and forth with her eyes closed, her lips move but they cant hear  what she says, but he knows what she is saying, moments later a bald head comes into view in the stall with her. Carl is already snorting laughter as he events of the night before unfold on the screen. As he is seen leaving the rest room the hunger in the eyes of the woman can be seen clearly. he leans in and pauses the picture,"Modern mistress, she is the aunt to Catressa and a vital link to the organization". he says to Carl, who looks at him and replies"shit boss I know that, but keep watching." the image blurs as it speeds through, men can be seen coming and going from the Menes room, some stop for a look at the beauty handcuffed to the railing, others linger a little too long, but none of them touch her in any way. After a long interlude with no activity in the Menes room the lights go out and the night vision kicks in and again the image blurs as it speeds forward to the desired spot and slows down, the clock in the corner of the image reads 5:17 AM. 15

The door of the men's room opens slowly and a small figure can be seen entering. It wore all black(of course) and walks up to the stall and swings the door open, and stands there a while watching the woman as  she sleeps on the toilet, then she appears to laugh heartily for a bit before entering and in seconds unlocking the handcuffs and freeing Modern Mistress.  As they leave the restroom Modern Mistress can be seen to stumble. And the image goes Blank.16

"Here, let me," Carl says impatiently as he spins the computer around to fully face him. he pops out the disk and searches the remaining disks for the one he wants. "Gotcha"! he shouts triumphantly as he finds it and drops it in the drive and pushes play.17

The image now is from behind the bar, facing the main room. the two figures can be seen half running past the bar, when suddenly Modern Mistress stops and detours behind the bar, disappears from camera view for a moment and reappears holding something under her jacket, then is gone. "This is horrible beyond measure." he stammers as the image goes blank. "That Wench took my last bottle of rye". He puts his hands to his face and rubs his now aching temples.18

"Who was it that freed her, and how did she get by our security".19

Carl, saying nothing, places a third disk, labelled "L" into the the player and the image that appears is of a slight woman sitting in a bedroom.20

" this is Lo0opy, or Loopy the Lock picker as she is known within the Evil Wenches Organization" Carl offered as they watched the pretty little woman preen and smile into her web cam as she took still shots of herself.21

"We were able to get a positive ID from the secondary footage from the Ladies room, apparently it was more important for Miss Lo0opy here, to relieve her bladder than it was to rescue her fellow Wench. She even took the time to fix her makeup  with the help of a small flashlight, which was her undoing, because the sensors got a real clear image of her, and I can tell you one thing for certain, she doesn't stuff her bra".22

"She is a new recruit who specializes in bypassing security systems and any lock of any sort. With the image we got from the cameras ,we were able to trace her Id through the federal Licence registry, once we had her ID it was a cinch for the guys at tech to hack her personal system system and co-op her files. She may be pretty G, but she has got a dark heart, I took the liberty of uploading all her personal journals, some pretty dark stuff, makes for good reading......I  believe she was the one responsible for the attempt on your system here, while you were in Paris, and she nearly got in, if it hadn't been for the new AP system we installed last month, this place would have been crawling with Wenches". that last brings a small sinful smile to his face.23

Cabana Man gets up from his desk and goes around to where Carl is sitting and looks into the eyes of the woman whose image is now frozen with her bare shoulders thrown jauntily back and a slight smile on her face, as if teasing him with her eyes, the color of which he cant ascertain from the image.24

"So the Evil Wenches number grows by one more, and such a pretty one at that. get me her address, phone numbers, and favorite clothing store, I will have to go and meet this Lo0opy in person".25
