Scene opens with Mykal Adams in a graveyard. The sun is setting and Mykal is standing in front of a grave. Another figure appears, and it is Jeeves. Jeeves stands beside Mykal , who is focusing intently on the grave.
Jeeves: Thought I'd find you here.
Mykal: How are you doing, old friend?
Jeeves: Well.....I won't lie to you. Ava scared me to death. But, I feel like I'm getting better. I just wish that I could have done something. I feel responsible.
Mykal: Don't do that to yourself Jeeves. If anyone is to blame, it is me.
Jeeves: You can't blame yourself for what Ava did. How could you have known he was capable of such a thing?
Mykal: I do now. Jeeves......I can understand if you want to leave. I mean, I can understand if this is too much for you.
Jeeves: In all these years Mykal, I have never forgotten that it was your mother who helped me. When I was down and out and had no money, she gave me a job. And, it turned out that you and her became my family. So, this is not just a job to me, Mykal. No matter how tough things get, I'll always stand with you.
Mykal: Thanks, my friend.
Jeeves pats Mykal on the shoulder and leaves. Mykal is still standing in front of the grave. We find out that it is his mother's grave.
Mykal: You always told me that one day I would meet someone who would be my rival. Who would be my antagonist. Well, I finally found him. Or, I should say that he found me. I never wanted to believe that someone could hate me for me being who I am. But now......I have no choice but to.......BELIEVE. I wonder if that is what you mean by "believe" Ava?
Mykal kneels down by the grave.
Mykal: Mom. Their some things I have to do now. I know that you would probably not approve, but I have no choice. He has Christi. Not to mention all of the other ladies that hang with me. I tried to leave behind the rage that use to fill my soul. But, he has awakend it from its' slumber. You'd probably tell me to find some other way to deal with him. But in all honesty, I don't think that would do. He is evil, mom. Pure evil. I've never known or seen anyone like him. And for some strange reason, he has come for me. I thought he was all talk at first, but now I know different. The guy is for real.
Mykal pulls the note that he wrote about his promise.
Mykal: I told you I would look after her. It breaks my heart that she is with him. He warned me. He honestly warned me. But like I said, I didn't think he was for real. Now, I have no choice but to fight for her and the others. Ava seems to feed off of his hate for me. He seems to hate me for who I am. I've even found myself wondering if their is a soul within him. Their truly is no conscience, no moral fiber within him. He wants me to fear him. In a way, I do, but not for the reasons he would think. See, I fear him for what he can do and that he has no reserve about him. He will do anything. The thing is...and Ava does not know this.....is that I am also capable of doing anything. Mom, don't hate me for what I am about to do. I'm going to war with this man. And it won't be pretty. Just know that I am keeping my promise to you. And that I had no other choice but to battle this man. Either he is going to kill me, or I'm going to kill him. Either way, one of us will not live through this.
Camera pans out to show Ava looking at Mykal. He heard every word that Mykal spoke and looks on with a look of respect on his face. He turns and walks away. The camera shows Mykal getting up and leaving as well. Scene fades.
