(low chuckle)
Sure sounds that way to me. By right, you have to throw her back.
Koon glares at Raven with annoyance then looks to Reggie.
KOON
Reggie, do we call it even? Or would you like a rematch?
Reggie continues to stare at the slithering, crawling creatures on the serving platters.
KOON
Reggie?
Reggie appears disoriented and looks to Koon.
REGGIE
Huh?
KOON
Do we call it even, or do you want a rematch?
Reggie stares at Koon a long moment.
REGGIE
(firm)
I'm not going anywhere without my brother.
Koon looks to Raven and smiles.
KOON
There you have it. We'll have a rematch.
Raven shakes his head and eyes Reggie.
RAVEN
Stupid girl.
Reggie looks back to the live entrees. The other guests stare at the crawling creatures on the platters as well. They suddenly begin reaching for the creatures and rapidly start consuming them. Reggie suddenly gasps and watches with horror. All six guests appear unable to control their hunger for the crawling creatures. Chrissy looks away and continues to sip her wine. Raven eyes Reggie's expression and raises a brow.
RAVEN
Their fate will soon be your own.
Koon sits back and watches the mass consumption with a pleased smile. Reggie watches the guests devour the slithering, slimy critters like starving animals. Reggie suddenly clutches her stomach, flies up from the table, and runs from the room.
INT. GRAND HALLWAY
Reggie makes her way out of the hall bathroom while still holding her stomach. We see Raven and Koon in the hallway outside of the dining room.
KOON
(firm)
Good evening, Raven.
Koon slams the dining room doors on Raven. Raven smirks and casually heads down the hallway. Reggie hurries along the hallway and approaches him just as he's about to disappear.
REGGIE
Please, wait.
Raven looks down the hallway as Reggie stops before him. He eyes her with a curious look.
RAVEN
Something I can do for you, Darling?
Reggie appears slightly uncomfortable then stands proudly.
REGGIE
You're obviously not like your brother. You're far more compassionate and intelligent, I can tell.
Raven appears humored and snorts a laugh.
RAVEN
Well, you've got it half right. Compassion would be quite a stretch for me.
REGGIE
I may be young, but I have a talent for reading people.
(pause)
I'll give you whatever you want if you get my brother and me out of here.
Raven studies her a long moment and stares into her eyes.
RAVEN
Isn't that what go you into trouble in the first place?
