Shade - Agent Of Spite

Shade#45 (S3): Intervention

I can call enough shots to have you shot.

SHADE WALKS OVER TO WHERE ANTONIO IS AND PUNCHES HIM ACROSS THE FACE.

[Shade]

Can't say that I appreciate the threats, Antonio.

[Antonio]

Like I said, if you let me out of these chains there's going to be a lot more than threats going on.

[Shade]

We've been over this. Besides, who're you throwing in with? Lakeside Crew, Westside Souljas? I don't know if you've heard but I've kicked their asses. I'm sure I could handle any ragtag group of misfits that you could throw at me. It'd be sad really, a comatose person would put up more of a fight.

ANTONIO SMILES AND THEN LAUGHS.

[Shade]

What the hell is so funny?

[Antonio]

I'm just really trying to figure out what made you track me down. All I can do is see that negro running to you like a tabby fruitcake and cryin' like a bitch. Then you go and make the worst decision of your life, trying to play scared straight. It's not working by the way.

[Shade]

It doesn't have to.

[Antonio]

I got hands that would get me out of any situation. I got riders that will do anything I tell 'em to. I can bum money off my mom and pops or go get it and I could have any girl that I want.

[Shade]

You got braggadocious down from what I can tell. Is there a point to all of this or are you just talking out your neck again?

[Antonio]

I don't have to hide behind anybody!

[Shade]

When you're in a gang you're literally hiding behind somebody else all the time. The whole point of a gang is intimidation with numbers and getting something from someone else that you couldn't get on your own, you jackass! Everything you say is making me lose brain cells.

[Antonio]

Well then let's wrap this up, shall we? You did all of this because you thought it would scare me and it didn't. And I know the exact negro who would pull something like this so when I find him I'm going to kick the shit out of him and then I'm coming after you!

[Shade]

No, you won't.

[Antonio]

And why is that?

[Shade]

You haven't listened to a word I've said, have you? Let me be clear about this; I don't like you. I've also got ways of keeping track of everything that you do and the next time you do something that I don't like, I don't care where you are or who you're with, I'm kicking your ass. Then you can get all your buddies together, try and fight me and I will drop you in there.

SHADE OPENS A PORTAL INTO THE SHADOWLANDS.

[Shade]

Do you see that? Do you know what that is? That's the Shadowlands and I'm the only person who can get you in or out. I will drop you in there, complete darkness as far the eye can see! As infinitely as big as this world, I don't even know what's all in there. You'll wander around in that place until you fall off a cliff or starve to death and nobody will have any clue as to what happened to you. Like a fart in the wind.
