- A Man With No Existence -
A Kidnapping of Their Own

The Butcher: Son of a bitch!
-[ Those words come from The Butcher�s mouth inside his rental car, as he waits outside a familiar apartment complex in Oceanside, New York. In the passenger side seat, Tomorrow Man sits with a cross look on his face. He doesn�t want to be here for he fears the worse. Besides, the last time he was here a violent scene blew up inside one of the apartments. ]-
The Butcher: You sure this is the place? Tomorrow Man: Positive. It disturbs me to be here again�the home of such a confused man. The Butcher: Well there is nothing confusing about it, T-Man. FroZtie has Nikki and she might be in there.
-[ He points to FroZtie�s apartment building. ]-
The Butcher: First, I�m going to kill him and then I�m going to kill Sydney Sparks for doing this to me and the people I care about.
-[ Just then, another car drives up to the apartment building and parks. To The Butcher and Tomorrow Man�s surprise, Cody walks out of the car and looks over the place. ]-
The Butcher: No, first I�m going to kill Cody.
-[ The Butcher exit�s the car and walks across the street towards Cody. Tomorrow Man jumps out of the car as well, hoping he doesn�t have to break up an ugly scene. The Butcher approaches Cody from behind, turns him around violently, and throws him against the car. ]-
The Butcher: What are you doing here?! Cody: Same as you! Tomorrow Man: Hold on!
-[ Tomorrow Man comes up from behind The Butcher and pulls him back away from Cody. As a light sprinkle of rain begins to fall from the gray sky, Cody opens up his jacket a reveals a loaded hand gun tucked into his cargo pants. ]-
Cody: I�m here to put an end to this bullshit and the man that�s started it all. Over the past few days I�ve given some deep thought into what I�ve done and how I�ve hurt you, Jimmy, and there isn�t anything I can do to change what I�ve done. You are right, Nikki is not happy with me. I was there when you were gone and I did what I could but now the dream life that I lived is over. She loves you more than anything in this world and I understand that now. I�m sorry.
-[ The Butcher doesn�t exactly know what to do or say so he just stands there. ]-
Cody: I would let you take care of this but I can�t let you do it alone. He fucked with your woman but he also fucked with my unborn kid. Tomorrow Man: So you�re just going to shoot him? Cody: Damn right. Tomorrow Man: Come on, let�s just get Nikki out of there and leave. Killing him won�t do anything except get your ass tossed in prison. Cody: So what? The Butcher: You�ve got a kid, man. Don�t let her have to raise the poor kid alone.
-[ Cody looks at The Butcher with a serious look. ]-
Cody: That�s where you come in, Butch. I fucked up everything so let me pay for it. Walk away now, and you can raise my child while I�m in prison. I don�t care. I deserve it for what I�ve done.
-[ The Butcher looks around the area to see if anybody is looking. He then extends his hand to Cody. ]-
The Butcher: Give me the gun. Cody: No! Tomorrow Man: Then you aren�t going in there with us. Cody: I�m going alone!
-[ The Butcher and Tomorrow Man look at each other simultaneously and nod to each other. They then push Cody backwards against the car again and Tomorrow Man grabs the gun as they overpower him. Once Tomorrow Man has possession of the gun, he and The Butcher back off and grin at one another. Cody turns around and pounds on the hood of the car in anger with both his fists. ]-
Cody: God damn it!
-[ The Butcher then turns to Tomorrow Man and extends his hand. ]-
The Butcher: All right, give me the gun.
-[ Tomorrow Man reaches inside his jacket and tucks the gun in the back of his pants. He then shakes The Butcher�s extended hand with an uncharacteristic smirk. ]-
Tomorrow Man: I think I�ll hold onto it, thank you very much. The Butcher: Grr�all right! Take the damn gun. I won�t need it anyway.
-[ While The Butcher is throwing a tantrum, Cody calmed himself down a little and started to walk towards the apartment complex door. As Cody walks in, The Butcher and Tomorrow Man quickly run towards the door and pull it open as he reaches for the lock. Then they walk in as Cody backs away, feeling confident with himself after he just tried to pull a fast one. ]-
Cody: Oh! Almost! Tomorrow Man: Good one.
-[ Cody turns around, makes his way towards the stairs, and starts to walk up them as if he knows where he�s going. Tomorrow Man follows closely because, like Cody, he knows where to go. He recalls the last time they were here when they interrogated Frostie about The Butcher�s disappearance. Although he knew nothing at the time, the scene became quite violent. The Butcher follows them up the stairwell and to the right down the hall. They stop at the door but The Butcher gets a perturbed feeling in the pit of his stomach. This seems to easy. Cody on the other hand is eager to knock down the door and start kicking some ass but Tomorrow Man holds him back before he kicks the door down. Tomorrow Man stands in front of the door and knocks on it courteously. The Butcher and Cody look at each other and roll their eyes. Then the door opens. ]-
Guy: Lance, there you are�
-[ Before the guy can finish his sentence, Cody pushes the door open violently and pushes the guy to the ground. The Butcher and Tomorrow Man enter as well but keep their eyes on the guy on the floor. The guy tries to get up, as Cody searches through the apartment, but he gets grabbed by The Butcher who has a few pounds on the guy. ]-
Guy: What is this shit�? Cody: �where is she?!
-[ The Butcher turns the guy around and holds him by his shoulders. ]-
The Butcher: Where�s that son of a bitch FroZtie?
-[ The guy starts to laugh in The Butcher�s face and The Butcher takes offense to that so he pushes the guy into the nearest chair. The guy continues to laugh. ]-
The Butcher: Hey, chuckles, what�s so funny? Guy: You�re those guys aren�t you? The ones looking for the bitch.
-[ The guy starts to laugh again. With each devilish chuckle, Cody and The Butcher grow increasingly fed up with him. But Tomorrow Man remains poised so he can get some answers. ]-
Tomorrow Man: Who are you?
-[ The young man remains seated in the chair and stops laughing. He raises his white shirt up a little and shows the three a tattoo over his belly button that reads: �Nemesis�. ]-
Guy: The name�s Nemesis. I�m Lance Wint�err�FroZtie�s brother.
-[ Nemesis starts to laugh again. ]-
Cody: Where is he?! Nemesis: How the fuck should I know? He�s probably fucking that bitch somewhere. Probably doin� her in that tight ass of hers as we speak. Lord knows I wouldn�t stick it to a pregnant chick. Cody: Shut up! Nemesis: I don�t know, she looks like she gives good head�
-[ Cody punches Nemesis in the mouth and The Butcher pulls Cody back. Nemesis wipes his busted open lip with the top of his hand and then sucks the smeared blood off with his mouth. ]-
The Butcher: Where did he take her? Nemesis: Outta here of course. Fuckin� bitch tried to get away last night. The Butcher: Did you hurt her? Nemesis: I was like, Frost, bro, she�s getting� away�
-[ The Butcher leans down and places his right hand on the back of the chair, near Nemesis� head, and then looks into his eyes. ]-
The Butcher: �did you hurt her? Nemesis: Maybe I hit �er a couple times. I shoulda hit her some more! Bitch wouldn�t eat the food I made her, man! She dissed me and my cookin�! But Frost, man, he took her to the back room there, tied her ass up, and gave her a couple good hits. Bitch wouldn�t shut up, man, so he had to shut her up. Next day, he threw her in the trunk of the car and took her somewhere. Haven�t seen the bitch since. The Butcher: You call her that one more time and I�ll give you something to BITCH about.
-[ The Butcher backs off and Nemesis grins mischievously. ]-
Nemesis: Damn she was such a bitch!
-[ The Butcher then punches him square in the face, so hard that he and the chair fall over onto the floor. But he gets up quickly and runs towards the kitchen. The Butcher, Cody and Tomorrow Man follow him in there but Cody gets a bar stool smashed over his head, and falls to the floor unconscious. The Butcher picks up one of the bar stool legs and throws it at Nemesis but he moves out of the way at the last second and the leg hit�s a window, breaking it. The Butcher, knowing he missed, charges at Nemesis but he dodges him as well like he�s a Spanish bull fighter. The Butcher runs into a pile of dishes that were sitting by the filled sink ready to be washed. As the dishes crash to the floor, Nemesis laughs hysterically; but like the dishes he soon crashes to the floor as well, unconscious. Standing above Nemesis� unconscious body is Tomorrow Man with the gun in hand. Nemesis had his back turned to him and Tomorrow Man popped him in the back of the skull with the butt end of the gun. Tomorrow Man looks down at his body while The Butcher rubs his hand on his forehead, noticing he�s bleeding a little. ]-
Tomorrow Man: Bitch.
-[ The Butcher laughs at Tomorrow Man and his comment. ]-
The Butcher: Nice going. Tomorrow Man: Thanks. You all right? The Butcher: I�ve had worse.
-[ Tomorrow Man goes to check on Cody to see if he�s alive, which he is, just knocked out cold. ]-
The Butcher: Bah, leave him. He needed to chill out anyway. Tomorrow Man: So now what do we do? Wait? The Butcher: No, one of the neighbors probably called the cops all ready.
-[ Cody starts to stir and finally gets up. He rubs his head in pain and looks at Nemesis� body that�s laying only a foot away from him. He stands up, continues rubbing his head, and then spits on Nemesis. ]-
Tomorrow Man: You all right? Cody: Yeah, what happened when I was out? Tomorrow Man: Oh we fought for a couple more hours, had a few beers, then had a slumber party. You didn�t miss much.
-[ Tomorrow Man grins at Cody while he continues to rub his head. ]-
Cody: So now what do we do with him? The Butcher: Take him with us. We�ll trade FroZtie him for Nikki. Cody: Good idea. Tomorrow Man: Come on, let�s get out of here.
-[ The Butcher and Tomorrow Man pick up Nemesis and drag him on their shoulders out of the kitchen. Cody goes to follow but something glimmering catches his eye. He walks over to the sink, moves some of the broken glass, and reaches for the soap dish. Sitting next to the soap, Cody finds a necklace with a ring on it. It�s the same ring The Butcher gave Nikki when they got engaged. He picks up the necklace and notices it�s broken. Then from the other room, he hears The Butcher yelling at him. ]-
The Butcher: You coming, Cody? We don�t have all day.
-[ Cody puts the necklace and ring in his pocket and leaves the kitchen. ]-
Cody: Yeah. Sorry, guys. I�m still out of it.
-[ He rubs his head as he follows them out of the apartment, dragging Nemesis with them. ]-
