-[ In the distance there is a sea gull crowing to the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean. It is a beautiful day�for a kidnapping. Today�s scene is at a large estate just outside San Francisco and if you look out to the ocean and a little to the left you can see the silhouette of Golden Gate Bridge, which is miles away. The estate has a nice view of the ocean and proper dockage to take the 60 foot schooner out to sea whenever you�d like. And to add more high class, the manor has a considerably large pool even though the property has it�s own beach front. One can only guess the square footage the house has. Maybe somewhere around the 10,000 mark. It�s quite an awesome sight where anybody would feel comfortable living there. You�d also be comfortable with the money you�ve got to own this place. ]-

-[ But who does own this place? They�d have to be very wealthy and have good taste. Then Cody comes into the picture. He�s dressed up as if he�s just about to relax all day. He�s wearing khaki shorts and has his white undershirt tucked into them a little. He�s also wearing a matching white baseball cap. As we follow him through the backyard, a beige dog runs up to him and he pets it. ]-

-[ The dog obviously doesn�t respond and begins to walk by Cody�s side as he saunters towards the home. Notice one thing though, there are men dressed in black security outfits, positioned perfectly around the compound. Whoever�s home this is, they must be powerful and have enemies if bodyguards are needed at your own home. Cody walks up to one of the guards and shakes the man�s hand. The African American bodyguard speaks into his headset. ]-

-[ Cody then walks away towards the house. Of course, Chelsea the dog follows by his side. He opens one of the side doors made of fine wood and glass and walks inside. Inside is just as impressive as outside. The home stereo system is playing jazz music throughout the house. He stops and looks around the house at the amazing picturesque scene. He is on the first floor, but if you go down a few stairs to the right or left, they lead to the living room which is seen from nearly ever angle of the first floor. Cody walks down the stairs on the right and enters the living room floor. The main floor has the usual furniture and a giant television set that�s so big it�s almost sick. Cody walks over to the sofa where he finds an artistic sculpture. He looks at the weird thing, but not being artistic himself, he has no idea what the sculpture is supposed to be. He looks around him and notices that he�s literally the center of attention in the home. Finally, another person is found inside the home. Walking down the stairs, that twist from the living room to the second floor, is an average sized brunette in a red business skirt with a matching blouse. She meets up with Cody near the bottom of the stairway. ]-

-[ Cody laughs comfortably. ]-

-[ Ms. Hutchinson laughs with him. ]-

-[ Ms. Hutchinson leads Cody to the first floor again, and then out another wood and glass door. As they enter the courtyard together, a body guard turns Cody around and frisks him. ]-

-[ Ms. Hutchinson waves the bodyguard off and he leaves. Cody turns around to see if the courtyard looks just as dazzling as everything else. Instead of being impressed, he is brought to anger. ]-

-[ Cody points at the table on the deck where we find The Butcher and Tomorrow Man tied up to chairs and unconscious. Ms. Hutchinson walks over to the table and pulls out one of the open chairs for Cody. ]-

-[ Cody takes off his hat, punches the inside, and then puts his hat back on. ]-

-[ He then sits down. As soon as he sits down, Ms. Hutchinson walks around the other side of the table towards The Butcher and Tomorrow Man. She pulls out a small flask from her skirt pocket. She rubs the orange substance on her right index finger and then rubs her finger on The Butcher and Tomorrow Man�s nostrils. Moments later they both begin to stir and awake, just as angry as Cody is. The Butcher and Tomorrow Man notice that they are tied up tightly and that Cody is sitting across from them. ]-

-[ Cody crosses his arms and looks away from The Butcher with a scowl. Tomorrow Man is still feeling the effects of the tranquilizer dart he received back at his apartment. ]-

-[ Ms. Hutchinson leaves the courtyard and returns back inside. Cody looks at Tomorrow Man, who is half out of it still, and feels bad that his long time friend and tag team partner has been put in a precarious situation. Cody gets up from the table and walks over to Tomorrow Man. ]-

-[ Cody kneels behind Tomorrow Man and reaches for the tightly bound rope. Before he can make a move to untie the knot, Roger, the bodyguard from earlier, grabs Cody by the shoulders and turns him around. ]-

-[ Cody goes back to his seat and sits down. ]-

-[ Cody looks at the rope that holds The Butcher down to the chair. ]-

-[ Cody bangs his fists down onto the table. ]-

-[ The Butcher laughs. ]-

-[ Cody turns around from his chair and looks at a man who appears to be in his mid-30s. The man is dressed nicely and appears to have just gotten out of an intense meeting. He unties his tie and hands it to a bodyguard who then walks away. He then unbuttons his top dress shirt button to feel more comfortable. Cody gets up and walks over to the man and shakes his hand. ]-

-[ A few bodyguards walk over to The Butcher and Tomorrow Man and untie them from their chairs. Sydney Sparks extends his hand to The Butcher and Tomorrow Man. They don�t shake back. Sydney then lowers his hand to his side, knowing that they aren�t going to shake his hand, and he respects that. ]-

-[ Sparks chuckles and sits down next to Cody but Tomorrow Man and The Butcher remain standing. ]-

-[ The Butcher makes his way towards the benefactor but he gets held up by the bodyguards. They force The Butcher and Tomorrow Man to sit down and then stand near them so they can�t move again. Ms. Hutchinson comes back out of the house with a set of folders. She hands them to Sydney and then walks away again. ]-

-[ He opens up one of the folders and starts to read one of the documents to himself. ]-

-[ Again, Ms. Hutchinson walks out of the house but this time she is behind a man in a wheel chair. She helps wheel him towards the table where The Butcher, Cody, and Tomorrow Man all stare at the man with dumbfounded looks. ]-

-[ Mr. Warlock looks at The Butcher and he looks back. Mr. Warlock blinks his eyes slowly at him, almost as if he�s saying �hello� ghoulishly. ]-

-[ Sydney hands Cody a folder and he opens it up. He drops the contents across the table to reveal that they are pictures of The Butcher and Nikki meeting in public while Cody was unaware. ]-

-[ Sydney waves another folder marked �Sizzio, Nikki� in The Butcher�s face. ]-

-[ Cody picks up one of the pictures and tears it up in anger. ]-

-[ Sydney laughs out loud. ]-

-[ Sydney grins mischievously. ]-

-[ The Butcher flips over the table and the pictures go flying everywhere. Before he can get to Sydney, the bodyguards grab him and start to do a number on him. Cody and Tomorrow Man attempt to help but they get taken care of as well. Battered, bruised, and bloodied, all three are forced to the ground and tied up. ]-

-[ The bodyguards pick up the three and begin to drag them out of the courtyard. ]-

-[ The bodyguards drag the three through the house and out the front door. Then they are gagged, blindfolded, and thrown into separate vehicles. As the vehicles drive away from the house and back in the direction of San Francisco, Sydney looks at Mr. Warlock. ]-

-[ Mr. Warlock blinks his eyes slowly once to agree with Sydney. The scene fades out with him looking at Nikki�s file and Ms. Hutchinson taking Mr. Warlock back inside. ]-
