Java Green Cafe
Liz: (sitting at a table in Java Green Cafe drinking a cup of coffee) Come on Ace. Just go out with him once, just once. Please.
Ace: (sitting across from Liz drinking tea) Fine I will go out with him but only once. And the only reason is because you’re my friend and if I don’t you’ll bother me until I do. (Smiles at Liz)
Liz: (laughs) You’ve got that right. (looks at her watch) We better get to work or Aubrey will be mad. (stands up and puts her coat on)
Ace: (stands up and puts her coat and gloves on) Alright let’s go.
FBI Federal Work building
Liz: (her and Ace walk through the doors of the building and through security) Max will pick you up at eight tonight. (walks away smiling)
Ace: (smiles and shakes her head walking in the opposite direction of Liz. She walks to an elevator and gets in there is another man in the elevator) Hello, Max.
Max: (smiling) Hello Ace, how are you?
Ace: Fine thank you for asking.
Max: (nervously) Um, are we still on for tonight?
Ace: (smiles) Yes.
Max: (the elevator doors open) This is my stop. (walks out and a woman walks in.)
Aubrey: Good morning Ace, I wish you would stop intimidating Max so much. (smiles at Ace)
Ace: (chuckles) I will try ma’am. I really will. (elevator doors open) After you ma’am.
Aubrey: (walks out and Ace follows) How is the case going on our mystery killer?
Ace: (a woman walks up to Ace and hands her a stack of papers) Very well, I think by the end of the week we will have caught him. (starts to scan the stack of papers) I’m sorry ma’am but I have an urgent matter to attend to.
Aubrey: Alright go do your work. (Ace nods and walks away. Aubrey walks into her office and there is a man sitting in her chair. Aubrey looks up a little mad and also surprised) And you are who and why are you sitting in my chair?
Parker: (stands up) Sorry miss, I’m Colonel Parker. Brigadier General Edwards was my commander when she was in the Air Force. I have come to check on how she is doing here at the FBI.
Aubrey: (sits at her desk) If I may ask Colonel Parker why do you ask about Agent Edwards?
Parker: (sighs) The president wants to know if she is still as good a mediator as she was when she was in the Air Force. He knows that she and I were once very close, he thought I would be best for the task.
Aubrey: I think she is still the best mediator around. She is also one of my very best agents for having worked here only a few months. (pause) She has moved up our positions very quickly.
Parker: (smiles) She has a tendency to do that ma’am.
Aubrey: (someone knocks on the door) Excuse me, yes.
Ace: (enters the room) Ma’am Director Wagner needs you. (notices Parker and smiles) Parker is that really you?
Aubrey: (stands up and picks up some papers) I will leave you two to catch up with eachother. (leaves the room and closes the door behind her.)
Parker: (smiles) Brigadier General Edwards.
Ace: (laughs) You can call me Ace, after all we are friends. We are still friends right.
Parker: (surprised) Yes, of course.
Ace: (smiles) I’m messing with you Parker. So how have you been.
Parker: I’ve been well Ace and you.
Ace: I miss the Air Force but I like it here. (pause) So why are here.
Parker: The President wanted me to check on you and she if you were still the best at what you do. And it seems you are.
Ace: (chuckles) When you report back to my father tell him he can always call or come visit me. Anche gli dico che ti amo.
Parker: (smiles) I see you can still speak Italian fluently. (pause) I should get going.
Ace: I hope to see you soon. (hugs Parker and opens the door) Tell my sister I said hello. (Parker nods and leaves. Ace sighs and goes back to work.)
Ace’s home
Ace: (doorbell rings) Be right there. (grabs her coat and opens the front door)
Max: Wow, you look amazing. (Ace closes and locks her front door and then follows Max to his car.)
Ace: (turns to one of the suited me standing by the front door) Blake I will probably be back late tonight so don’t worry about me.
Blake: (smiles) Don’t worry ma’am we won’t. (Ace glares at Blake then smiles and gets in the car. Max gets in the driver’s side and they pull out of Ace’s gated home.)
Max: (after a few minutes) We are going to Tosca’s if that’s alright with you.
Ace: That is fine Max. (they ride in silence until they get to the restaurant. They park and go into the restaurant and get seated. Two men in suits follow them where every they go.)
Max: So (motioning to the two suited men) are they going to be with us the whole time?
Ace: (nods) Unfortunately yes, they are for my protection. (Ace’s cell phone rings and she looks at who is calling) I’m sorry Max I have to answer this. (Stands up and walks to the corner of the restaurant. One of the men starts toward her and she waves him off. After a minute she hangs up the phone and returns to the table.) I am truly sorry Max but we are going to have to reschedule. (Puts on her coat and Max stands up)
Max: Is everything ok.
Ace: (looks at Max) I’m not quite sure yet. (motions for the men to come and they walk over to the table.) John please make sure Mr. Lawrence gets home alright. JT we are going to see my father.
JT: Yes ma’am.
Ace: (walks to a black SUV with JT and gets in the back, JT gets in the driver’s side.) JT, I need to get to the White House as soon as possible.
JT: Yes, ma’am. (starts to drive away)
Ace: (takes out her phone and dials a number, a woman answers the phone) Aubrey, I won’t be at work tomorrow.
Aubrey: (over the phone) I know Ace, I was informed about 15 minutes ago.
Ace: (calmly) Please make sure my team is notified.
Aubrey: Will do Ace, take care. (Ace hangs up the phone and after a few minutes they arrive at the White house)
Billings: (opens the car door for Ace and helps her out) Ma’am your father is waiting in the Green room with our guests.
Ace: Thank you Billings. (walks inside with Ace and hands Ace’s jacket to a maid. They walk to the green room.)
Edwards: (sitting in the green room, across from him are three people. Two men and one woman. He addresses one of the men.) High Counselor Balefire this is my daughter, Abigail, Ace to most people.
Balefire: (looks at Ace) Hello Ace, it is nice to meet you.
Ace: (looks at her father then at Balefire) It is a pleasure to meet you as well, High Counselor.
Edwards: (clears his throat) Ace this is Balefire’s son Theron (the young man to Balefire’s right bows) and that is Aura (the woman to Balefire’s left nods her head) they are both part of the High Counselors personal guard. I have told the High Counselor that you are one of our top mediators.
Balefire: And I have asked the President if you would be the mediator between my people, the Celestials, and your people.
Ace: Celestials?
Theron: Celestial was the first ruler of my people. My people were named after her. (pause) From what I have seen of your world, it is much like ours. (stares at Ace)
Balefire: (looks at Ace) I have asked the President but I would also like to ask you to be our mediator.
Ace: (smiles at Balefire) I would be honored.
Balefire: Wonderful, (pause) if the president will let you I would like you to come aboard my command ship.
Ace: (smiles) That would be great.
Theron: (questionly) Father, (nods his head) yes father. (looks at Ace) Please follow me.
Ace: Father. (nods at Edwards and follows Theron out of the room and towards a group of people standing at the end of the hall.)
Art: (steps forward when Ace and Theron approach the group of people) Sir.
Theron: The High Counselor would like me to give…(hesitates)
Ace: (looks and Theron and smiles) Agent Edwards.
Theron: Agent Edwards on a tour of the command ship.
Art: (nods) Yes, sir. (talks on a headset and a beam of light appears in front of them and Ace takes a step back.)
Theron: (chuckles) Don’t worry it’s safe. (takes Ace’s hand and they walk into the beam of light with Ace.)
Ace: (they appear in a medium sized white room) Wow. (trips and Theron catches her)
Theron: (laughs and helps Ace sit down in a chair) The dizziness will disappear momentarily. (does to the wall and opens a door, he takes out a black and red jacket and black pants and hands it to Ace) This will help you blend in more and I thought it would be more comfortable than your dress.
Ace: Thank you.
Theron: I will stand outside the door while you change. (nods and goes to stand outside the door while Ace gets changed.)
Ace: I’m done. (Theron and Ace start to walk and they walk into a large room with many floors and people in it, the people they pass stare at Ace. Ace glances around) Are all these people staring at me?
Theron: Yes, my people have not seen an outsider in quite a while. (takes Ace’s hand and pulls her closer to him) Please stay near me, for your own safety. (awkwardly lets go of Ace’s hand.)
Ace: (they continue walking, Ace is looking around amazed) This place is amazing.
Theron: Our first stop is the command deck. (leads Ace to an elevator and they get in. the elevator doors open and they walk into a large room with about a dozen people in it and a lot of fancy computers and equipment, Emily is in the middle of the room shouting out orders.) Mother.
Emily: Katherine, contact the high counselor and ask him what he wants me to do. (Katherine walks out of the room)
Theron: (he and Ace walk toward Emily and a few of the people in the room stop to stare at Ace then go back to work.) Mother, this is Ace she is the daughter of President Edwards.
Emily: (looks at Ace and smiles at her then turns back to one of the monitors) Jacob how close is his ship?
Jacob: One hundred clicks, ma’am.
Emily: (shakes her head) Damn.
Theron: (steps closer to Emily, confused) Mother, what is going on?
Emily: (looks up at Theron) He found us.
Theron: (upset and angry) Can we kill him this time?
Emily: If the High Counselor approves.
Theron: (thinking) Do it. (Emily hesitates) When my father isn’t here I am in charge and
I say to do it.
Ace: (confused) Who are you talking about?
Katherine: (rushes into the room out of breath) He says to do it.
Theron: (sarcastically) There you go, our confirmation. (Emily turns and begins to give orders. Theron turns to Katherine.) Katherine this is Ace. Ace my sister Katherine. (Ace and Katherine shake hands.) In answer to your earlier question the person on that ship is called Zeus. Zeus was our leader, he went power hungry and became uncontrollable. My father and many others rose up against him and fought for a new high counselor. Zeus became upset and before leaving he planted a bomb that blew up our planet. Then he simply disappeared.
Man: (watches Emily give the order to shoot the ship) No! (lunges toward Theron with a knife)
Ace: (pushes Theron out of the way and the man stabs Ace in the stomack. Other men rush at the man and knock him to the ground. Ace falls and Theron catches her) Ow. (coughs and tries to smile) That hurt. (Ace coughs up blood)
Theron: Someone get the medic.
