Trapped Child

Narrator: "This world is surrounded by crime, greed, and many other sins. When people gave up hope for peace there are a group of assassins that would cleanse the world. If you're truly tormented by anyone and want vengeance then you must call upon The Sweepers and they will take vengeance for you."

It was the afternoon in Stais, New Joycean, and a little girl is locked in a room hoping to escape; until she turned around seeing Christiana wearing a mask standing behind her.

Topaz: "Who are you miss?"

Christiana: "Just someone who is going to help you."

Then the next day came; a man is trying desperately to get his daughter back from the kidnapper.

Howard: "Here is the money."

Alfonse: "It's about time I guess you don't want your daughter back enough if you took your time."

Howard: "Look I'm having a hard time as it is with money."

Alfonse: "I understand I really do but don't keep me waiting too long or I may have some fun with Topaz."

Howard: "DON'T YOU DARE!!!"

Alfonse: "I would watch that tone of yours if you want her back."

Christiana and Violet stood there at a distance.

Violet: "What a disgusting man? Thinking it's okay to take advantage of a little girl who's half his age."

Christiana: "I know predators are always around doesn't matter where you're from."

Violet: "You had to deal with one yourself."

Christiana: "Violet you shouldn't talk about the dead."

Violet: "Oh that's right I almost forgot."

Christiana: "People like him don't deserve to live."

Violet: "Do you think that man over there will actually call on us?"

Christiana: "He seems like a coward but if he truly cares about his daughter that much then maybe."

They disappeared without a trace then Christiana went to meet Meadow at the house Topaz is at.

Topaz: "Your back mister!"

Meadow: "Have you ever tried to escape?"

Topaz: "Once but the mean man said that he would hurt papa if I leave..."

Christiana: "I see you two are already friends."

Topaz: "It's you!"

Christiana: "Why on earth would a man keep someone else's child?"

Topaz: "He told me to come with him he said that something bad happened to papa."

Meadow: "Then?"

Topaz: "After I got here, he wanted me to change clothes but he wanted to do it for me."

Christiana: "Has that happened before?"

Topaz: "*nods her head* Before this happened, he had me going to his house for tutoring; he always touches me in a way I felt uncomfortable."

Christiana: "Did he touch you in your vagina?"

Topaz: "Yes he did I was so frightened and scared I told my Papa after it happened when my papa confronted the mean man, he told my papa that I made it up!"

Christiana: "Did he believed the mean man?"

Topaz: "N-No my papa believed me. Papa always told me that he'll always believe me and he would never believe a word that the mean man said."

Meadow: "What happened after that?"

Topaz: "The mean man told me that Papa is seriously hurt and that he is in the hospital."

Meadow: "And you believe him?"

Topaz: "Y-Yes…*cries* I miss my Papa!"

Topaz cries over and over again because she wanted to go home to her dad as Christiana and Meadow left the house.

Christiana: "At least we know a bit more about our target a child predator."

Meadow: "There have been more and more predators these days but I didn't think there would be a child predator."

Christiana: "It's sad isn't it."

Meadow: "I don't understand how men these days came to be like this it's disgusting."

Christiana: "You're the one to talk."

Meadow: "Hm?"

Christiana: "You used your manipulation power on me when I was ten to give you a blowjob."

Meadow: "That's different."

Christiana: "How?"

Meadow: "I didn't force you nor I ever force myself onto you; that child was molested and who knows what else she might have been raped and not even know it."

Christiana: "True he might have raped her in her sleep."

It was the next day and Howard is at work as an English teacher at a local middle school then the bell rings for lunch.

Howard: "All right class dismiss for lunch."

Student 1: (Whispering) "What's with Mr. Tuesden?"

Student 2: (Whispering) "Haven't you heard his daughter was kidnapped?"

Student 1: (Whispering) "Oh man that's just awful."

Student 2: (Whispering) "Yeah it's been in the newspapers."

Student 3: (Whispering) "That explains why my parents want me to go straight to my brother's school to pick him up after I finish school."

Student 2: (Whispering) "Why hasn't he called The Sweepers yet?"

Student 1: (Whispering) "He's probably to chicken to do it."

Student 3: (Whispering) "Or maybe he doesn't know the face nor name of the kidnapper."

Student 2: (Whispering) "Yeah probably."

The students left as Howard is curious about The Sweepers.

Howard: "The Sweepers? I wonder who they are."

He went into the faulty office to see if anyone knows about the assassin group.

Teacher 1: "Hello Tuesden are you still depressed about what happened to your daughter?"

Teacher 2: "Yeah you should be home you can't just work your depression out like that it's not good for you."

Howard: "Have any of you heard of The Sweepers?"

Teacher 3: "The Sweepers?"

Teacher 2: "I haven't heard about them."

Teacher 1: "All I know is from what a student said in a note that was being passed around in my class."

Teacher 3: "A note?"

Teacher 1: "Apparently the note said that if you cross me again, I'll get The Sweepers to take care of you."

Teacher 2: "Maybe they are some sorta cult."

Teacher 1: "I hardly doubt."

Meanwhile, a boy named Johnny in a heated argument with a girl named Mindy.

Mindy: "Didn't I tell you to don't cross me?"

Johnny: "So? You won't do it besides it's not like they will actually accept your call if you did!"

Mindy: "Oh! I am so gonna and it's not like anyone will miss you! Your alone your moms abandoned you!"

Johnny: "I don't care what you think! Like I should even pay attention to the wicked bitch of middle school who just a spoiled rotten rich girl who only acting out just to get her parent's attention!"

Mindy: "Why you!!!"

Just as she about to slap him Alfonse stops her in time by grabbing her wrist.

Alfonse: "Now that's enough Ms. Vortex."

Mindy: "Oh Mr. Kingston!"

Alfonse: "I think you should just run off to class and as for you Mr. Banner I want you to stay after school and clean the entire classroom."

Johnny: "Hey! That's not fair! She's the one who started it!"

Alfonse: "From what I can tell you started."

Johnny: "What?! I can't stay after school I have to go to straight work!"

Alfonse: "So? I can just tell the principal that your job is interfering with your schoolwork and he'll make you quit your job."

Just as Alfonse left Johnny is feeling angry then Howard is walking towards Johnny.

Johnny: "Damn that man!"

Howard: "Don't worry about the classroom."

Johnny: "Huh? Mr. Tuesden?"

Howard: "I'll clean the classroom after school you should go on ahead to class."

Johnny: "Thanks Mr. Tuesden."

Later on, at night Howard is at a local food shop eating when he noticed Johnny walking in.

Howard: "Mr. Banner what are you doing here this late?"

Johnny: "Mr. Tuesden? I usually come here to eat when I don't have enough money to buy food to cook. Why are you here?"

Howard: "I always come here with my daughter because I can't cook but after what happened to her, I still come here hoping I would eat out with her again."

Johnny: "Oh I read about what happened to her in the newspaper."

Howard: "What was that fight about earlier?"

Johnny: "Oh you mean Vortex well we use to be good friends. I helped her out when she moved here two years ago but…"

Howard: "What happened?"

Johnny: "Everyone at school called her the wicked bitch of school I didn't believe them I told everyone that she's really nice once you get to know her. Then a buddy of mine got caught up into a fight with his parents and his mom beat him so he ran away. So, I help him out and let him stay at my house for a while then one day at school he pushed Vortex down the stairs; she thought it was me because he was wearing my clothes. Ever since then she's been on my case."

Howard: "I see anyways have you heard of The Sweepers?"

Johnny: "I have they are a group of assassins."

Howard: "Assassins?"

Johnny: "Yeah but they don't always take any request but if they do, you'll have to pay a price though."

Howard: "A price?"

Johnny: "From what I was told the price is money."

Then Howard noticed a glowed marked on the palm of Johnny's left hand.

Howard: (Thinking) "What's that on his hand? And why is it glowing?"

Johnny: "Anyways I found out something about my so-called teacher."

Howard: "What do you mean?"

Johnny: "I am testing this camera out for the photography club and I took a photograph of this." He hands Howard the photograph. "That's the wicked bitch making out with Kingston."

Howard: "What the?"

Johnny: "I plan to use this to bring him down."

Howard: "You can't!"

Johnny: "Why not?! That man has been getting away with that for far too long!"

Howard: "He has my daughter…"

Johnny: "What?!"

Howard: "One day I was pushed into one of the rooms that the door couldn't be opened from the inside I was trapped in there for hours. When someone finally found me, I went to my daughter's school and one of her teachers said she was kidnapped by some man. Then a few days later Kingston told me that he has Topaz and he won't give her back to me unless I pay him a thousand currencies."

Johnny: "What the hell?! That's crazy Kingston went too far! Kidnapping a child that's just insane why on earth would he take her?!"

Howard: "He was molesting her…"

Johnny: "Oh my god…"

Howard: "He told me that Topaz wanted a tutor and so I let him tutor her in English writing but I didn't understand why. Topaz is one of the smart girls in her class and she didn't need it really but Kingston thinks she needs to a tutor. A couple of days after the tutoring started, she told me he has been touching her inappropriately."

Johnny: "A child molester…what a sick man…"

Howard: "I confronted him but he denied it he claimed that she made it up."

Johnny: "Sorry Mr. Tuesden but I have to go home now."

Howard: "It's fine you have homework to do."

Johnny left the shop and is on his mobile sending an instant letter to The Sweepers. Meanwhile, Alfonse is at home walking into the room Topaz is in.

Alfonse: "Oh my sweet Topaz I hope your awake because I want to have some fun."

Topaz: "N-N-NO!"

Alfonse: "Too bad you don't have a saying to it."

He pulls up her dress and rapes her as she screamed. Meanwhile, Johnny is walking home when he reading the instant letter on his mobile.

Johnny: "So I have to go to the abandoned field."

As soon as he got there, he sees only two people Violet and Christiana in their mask.

Violet: "Are you here to pay?"

Johnny: "No…I want to change my target."

Violet: "Oh really?"

Johnny: "Yes I think someone else wants to put a hit on that man instead of me."

Christiana: "This isn't the first time we have a client wanting to change targets so request granted."

Violet: "So who is the target you want dead?"

It was the next day and Howard was on the train reading the newspaper and noticed a newspaper on the ground and picked it up and read the advertisement for The Sweepers assassin group.

Howard: "Do you wish for justice? Do you want vengeance? Then send a letter or an instant letter to us and we'll make your problem go away for good…I don't know I mean taking someone's life by using an assassin…but I need to get Topaz back no matter what."

He grabbed a piece of paper out of his briefcase and wrote a letter to The Sweepers then after getting off the train he mailed the letter to them. Afterward, he went to the school and he is in thought as he is looking at the mark on the palm of his hand saying Until October 16th.

Student 1: "Mr. Tuesden here's the paper you assigned for class."

Howard: "Oh okay just turn it in over there."

Then he thinks back about what happened earlier when he met The Sweepers.

Angel: "I see that you want that man dead you weren't the first one to ask us to kill him."

Howard: "I do he has my daughter and I am willing to do anything to get her back."

Tom: "Well then pops revenge is a double-edged sword for that you'll have to pay the price."

Howard: "How much?"

Zachary: "Five hundred currencies but if you don't pay by the deadline then the request will be nullified."

Shadow: "After all it's your choice."

Afterward, he is walking in the hallway and looks at the palm of his hand.

Howard: "It is my choice…"

Then he noticed Johnny and Mindy in another fight.

Johnny: "Listen I'm pretty sure he has been sleeping with other girls in this school."

Mindy: "Oh please it'd not like anyone will believe a word you say!"

Johnny: "Oh yeah?"

He shows her the photograph.

Mindy: "Where did you get that?"

Johnny: "I will expose him!"

Mindy: "So what? Like anyone will think that's me in the photograph. They'll think it's someone else. "

She storms off as Howard walks towards Johnny.

Howard: "You're actually going to expose him. Why are you trying so hard?"

Johnny: "Because he raped Holly!"

Howard: "Ms. Cosgrave?"

Johnny: "She's was one of my childhood friends along with Tony. She had a crush on me and I felt the same way and she confessed to me and I confessed to her back. We decided to have a date on a Friday but after that day Kingston wanted her to stay after school. Then I got a call from her and she told me he raped her. Tony and I tried to get justice but no one believed us; afterward, Holly barely came to school eventually she stop coming then she committed suicide because of what happened. I am doing what she wanted to do get justice for all the girls in this middle school."

Howard: "Did you contact The Sweepers?"

Johnny: "No…did you?"

Howard: "Yes. I have to get Topaz back no matter what!"

Johnny: "At least there will be justice."

Johnny walked away meanwhile Mindy is talking to Alfonse.

Mindy: "Oh come on Al we've been dating for two years now and we haven't had sex yet."

Alfonse: "I told you before I don't want to yet."

Mindy: "You promised me that we would before I start high school."

Alfonse: "I know but I can't sorry."

He kissed her on her cheek and walked away. While he is walking to his office she sees Lilly and stares at her with a creepy look.

Lilly: "Hm?"

Alfonse: "How adorable. Aren't you a bit too old for that doll in your hands?"

Loni: "Don't talk to her you molester."

Lilly: "You can see me so what my best friend is saying is that you're gonna die soon."

Loni: "People like you don't deserve to live."

They disappeared and Alfonse is confused about Lilly said.

Alfonse: "What makes her think I'm gonna die? She must be on drugs or something."

Afterward, it was the next day and every student is talking about Mindy.

Student 1: "It's was no surprise she probably sleeping with Mr. K so she can get attention."

Student 2: "Or maybe he tried to attack the wicked bitch?"

Student 3: "Who knows? I think she wanted him."

She went to the photography club room and is angry at Johnny.

Mindy: "How dare you?!"

Johnny: "What are you talking about?"

Mindy: "You showed that photograph to everyone at school, didn't you?!"

Johnny: "No I didn't I just gave the photography club their camera back along with the photographs I took with it."

Mindy: "You're gonna pay for that!!"

She storms off the room.

Member: "I know that Holly would want the truth about him out of the open."

Johnny: "Yeah…"

Then when Mindy is sending an instant letter to The Sweepers, she sees a familiar face.

Mindy: "Cosgrave? What are you doing here your dead?"

Holly: "Your gonna die soon."

Mindy: "What are you talking about? I must be seeing things."

She went to the abandoned field to meet with the assassin group.

Christiana: "You requested us?"

Mindy: "Yes I want you guys to kill this boy."

She hands Violet the photograph of Johnny.

Violet: "What for?"

Mindy: "I sick of seeing his face I want him dead."

Christiana: "Your request is denied."

Mindy: "What?! I can pay no matter the price!!"

Shadow: "Once she made her mind up it can't be changed."

Christiana: "If you really want revenge from him then do it yourself."

Angel: "You wasting our time here."

They left as Mindy is upset because The Sweepers didn't accept her request. Meanwhile, Alfonse and Howard are having a heated argument.

Howard: "How many times I have to tell you?! I didn't take that photograph!!"

Alfonse: "Because of you I will lose my job! I guess I'll just leave the state and take your daughter with me."

Howard: "It's no point… You won't get away with it!"

Alfonse: "What the hell are you talking about?"

Howard: "I got my money back from you."

Alfonse: "What?!"

A flashback from a few hours ago. Johnny went to meet Howard and handed him a folder.

Johnny: "Here you go Mr. Tuesden I figured this is yours."

Howard: "How did you get this?"

Johnny: "It was easy breaking into Kington's desk I thought you should have your money back."

Howard: "Thank you, Mr. Banner."

The flashback ends while Zachary in his mask is up on a building roof aiming his arrow to the target.

Zachary: "Gotcha!"

Zachary shoots his arrow to Alfonse's back.

Howard: "What was that?!"

Alfonse: "What did you do?!"

Zachary: "Damn! I miss the point I was aiming at now let's try that again."

He shoots his arrow to Alfonse's neck then another one on his back. Alfonse is coughing up blood then he collapsed and died; Macy is in her mask walks up to his corpse to see if he actually died.

Macy: "Oh good he's dead. People like him shouldn't even exist."

Howard: "Who are you?! What just happened?!"

Macy: "It's not important."

Howard: "Huh?!"

Macy: "Check the palm of your hand."

Howard: "What do you mean?" He looks at the palm of his hand that had the date on it. "It's gone! I don't understand how!"

Macy: "You paid us so that means you're not in debt anymore."

Howard: "I was hoping he would tell me what he did to my daughter."

Macy: "I wouldn't worry about that."

Howard: "Huh?"

Macy: "The boss is finding her just as we speak."

Meanwhile, Christiana and Meadow went to find Topaz.

Meadow: "Over there."

Christiana: "Typical he would tie her up and not feed her."

Meadow: "You want to cut the ropes, or should I?"

Christiana: "I guess I'll do it."

She used her sword to cut the ropes off; Christiana and Meadow took Topaz to the hospital.

Nurse: "I need a doctor there's a little girl out here who needs attention."

Then Howard's mobile is ringing.

Howard: "H-Hello? Oh! Oh, thank god! Yes, I'm on my way."

He went to the hospital to see Topaz meanwhile Johnny is walking home and sees Holly.

Johnny: "Holly? How is it possible your dead?!"

Holly: "I'm sorry…thank you…"

Johnny: "What? I'm sorry and thank you? What did she mean by that?"

It is the next day and Johnny went to school.

Student 1: "I read in the newspaper this morning that Mr. Kingston had photographs of half-naked girls."

Student 2: "How disgusting?! I'm glad he's dead."

Johnny: (Thinking) "So Mr. Tuesden actually went through with it? I should thank him."

Substitute Teacher: "Hello class I will be filling in for your teacher until they find a replacement. Now let's pick up from your last lesson plan."

After school, Johnny went to the local food shop looking for Howard.

Johnny: "Excuse me but has a middle school teacher by the name Mr. Tuesden been here?"

Shopkeeper: "Not today though I don't think he'll be here for a while."

Johnny: "What do you mean?"

Shopkeeper: "Haven't you read the newspaper today? His daughter has been found and taken to the hospital. So, I'm sure he is there."

Johnny: "Oh okay thank you." He left the shop and went to the hospital then he sees Holly. "I'm sure he's glad to found her. Huh? Holly?"

Mindy walks towards him with a knife in her hand.

Mindy: "It's your fault!!"

Johnny: "What are you talking about?"

Mindy: "My boyfriend is dead because of you!!"

Johnny: "I didn't do anything besides he deserved it he molested a nine-year-old girl then kidnapped her and who knows what else he did to her."

Mindy: "Liar!!"

Johnny: "It's true! The newspaper said he had fake identity cards and pictures of half-naked girls! It's obvious that he does this kind of thing all the time!"

Mindy: "I'll make you pay for what you did!!!"

She runs towards him with the knife until she stops running when she sees Zachary in his mask.

Zachary: "Well well well I see we got ourselves a class a spoil rotten bitch here trying to kill an innocent boy who is trying to get justice for his dead friend."

Mindy: "Who-Who are you?!"

Zachary: "Just someone along with my friends is here to punish you."

Mindy: "What are you talking about?!"

Zachary: "Let's see you're trying to take the life of a fellow student in your school than trying to make you so-called boyfriend the victim which pretty much sums up the fact that you're a no-good bitch. So then co-boss and my favorite twins do we reach a verdict?"

Meadow, Violet, Angel, and Shadow appears in their mask.

All but Meadow: "Of course we have."

All of them lift one of their arms in front of them with their thumbs out and turn their thumbs down which means guilty.

Zachary: "Looks to me we have reached a verdict you're guilty that means your punishment is death."

Mindy: "What?!"

Violet runs with her arm out as her nails grow long to Mindy and stab her in the heart.

Violet: "Don't worry this isn't how you'll die."

Mindy spits out blood then Violet uses her power to set Mindy on fire.

Mindy: "AAAHHH!!!!!!!"

Mindy's body has been burned to ash as Johnny is surprised to see her dead.

Holly: "Oh good."

Johnny: "Holly! Wait?! Why are you fading away?!"

Meadow: "She's fading away because you're not going to die today."

Johnny: "What?! I was gonna die today?!"

Holly: "You were but they stopped it from happening I'm glad too! I hope when you die it would be when you're an old man and I hope I would be the one to cross you over…Thank you, John, for everything…"

Johnny: "Holly… at least you can rest in peace… now wait a minute the writing it's gone?!"

Angel and Shadow: "That's because you paid us."

Zachary: "Which means your no longer indebted to us."

They left as Johnny went to the hospital.

Johnny: "Excuse me I'm looking for Topaz Tuesden's room."

Secretary: "Are you family?"

Johnny: "No…I'm a friend."

Secretary: "Sorry but only family members are allowed at this hour."

Johnny: "Did I say, friend? I meant I'm a distant cousin of hers."

Secretary: "Oh well then her room is room 249 upstairs."

Johnny: "Thank you."

He walked upstairs to see Howard but he stops when heard Howard talking.

Howard: "I'm so sorry Topaz I'm a terrible father for letting this happened!"

Topaz: "You're not a terrible papa! I thought you were in an accident."

Howard: "What made you think?"

Topaz: "That mean man told me…he even told me that he would hurt you…"

Howard: "Is that so…"

Topaz: "Papa I don't wanna live here anymore…"

Howard: "I understand dear I'll go get some air…huh? Mr. Banner?"

Johnny: "Hey Mr. Tuesden I just swigged by here to tell you thank you."

Howard: "Thank you? For wha-"

Johnny: "There is justice in this world you just have to find it. Now Holly can rest in peace."

Meanwhile, The Sweepers were on packing up their bags to go back home to Rhinestone City.

Zachary: "Thank god we're going home this place isn't all that exciting."

Henry: "That's because we scare the hell out of people they don't want to commit any sin."

Zachary: "True."

Macy: "Where's the boss?"

Henry: "Probably f***ing her husband."

Tom: "I doubt it they don't have the time for that."

Violet: "They usually do that all night."

Angel: "I can't wait to go home."

Zachary: "So you can get a man?"

Violet: "You know that's not it. You probably wanna flirt with many girls that's why you want to go home."

Zachary: "That's not entirely true I just want some good wine the wine here sucks."

All: "That's true."

Christiana and Meadow are at a cemetery looking for a certain card.

Meadow: "Found it."

Christiana: "I wonder why we have to look for the ace of hearts."

Meadow: "It's something I need."

Christiana: "Is that so?"

Meadow: "Yeah."

Christiana: "Is it really that important?"

Meadow: "Not to you but to me it is."

Christiana: "We better hurry the others are waiting on us."

Meadow: "Alright." As they were walking back to the others Meadow is in thought about the card. (Thinking) "This is bad they must be on my trail and they'll come after Christiana and then…if they come after her they'll have to come after me first. Then…I'll rip them apart if they try to kill my wife."
