+++++begin trideo keeper.v1
Partial view of the front of a school, small children exiting the bus.
View is darkened by something on the windows of the vehicle.

T: Is this thing on?

R: Yes its working fine now be quiet I must guide the drone. Homer how
goes the security. Is the fire alarm ready to go off? ToF be ready to
drop the illusion spell and followup.

H: All is go. Here she comes.

T: Damnitt all! I wish that fucking troll were here! Being ordered
around by a half-crazed cripple and a techno-geek!

External Camera pans in on a small girl, long blond hair, approximately
3.4ft tall. Garbed in school uniform and backpack, exiting from bus.



R: Now my children.

All of a sudden alarms go off. Klaxons whir and red fire lights begin to
lite up. The child looks frightened then something nudges her leg. She
looks down to see a small teady bear with wheels for legs.

R: Tons of Fun, the followup now.

T: GOING YOU BLASTED PARAPALEGIC FREAK!!! ARRRGH!

The childs eyes grow large and then concentrate on the bear. All around
chaos is ensuing, teachers gathering children. Parents darting among the
masses looking for their children to gather them away from the alleged
fire. The child follows quickly hands outstretched as the teady bear
races off. Guards are searching for the cause of the alarms. The child
stops at a white minivan, similar to ones driven by most of the parents
there. The door opens with a whoosh!

H: GRAB HER!

T: Got it!

The child is jerked into the van. Behind her the drone is seen wizzing
off. Piloted off into the midst of the school somewhere near the
playground it stops.

H: Remember the boss wanted the casualties to a minimum.

R: Understood. Is the child comfy? We are on our way.

A large explosion rips the playground apart. Metal flying everywhere,
wood catching on fire. The camera focus out as the school is left
behind. Large vibrations jostle the camera.

T: WATCH WHERE YOUR GOING! I AIN'T GOT HER STRAPPED IN YET!!!!

R: My apologies. Traffic is heavy. Rounding Way point one. Homer any
incoming emergency feeds?

H: Yes, police, fire, and medical will arive in 42 seconds. Hurry to the
Hotel. You have the coordinates.

R: Locked in. Is the allright back there.

T: Yea sediatives I gave her are working fine. She will barely remeber
this.

R: Hotel in 32 minutes.

+++++Time elapse 32 minutes

R: Way point 2 reached comencing docking.

A large shop with a gargage bay is seen. The door opens and the van
enters.

R: Condtion.

T: Stable she will awake soon.

R: Homer begin the spray. Tons of Fun transfer her to the other vehicle.

H: Gotcha

T: Whatever.

Homer begins to spray down the white van turning it black. Reverend is
seen in his wheelchair positioning charges on the van and the other
vehicle. ToF takes the child and places her gently in the backseet of a
Subaru OutbackX260, her hair is now black instead of blond and cut
shorter .

T: All set crip.

R: Affirmitive board up lets go.

The garage door opens. The green wagon is seen leaving the shop. Door
closing.

R: Any word on her yet?

H: Just getting in reports now. 2 wounded guards, fire is out. Children
reported missing is being delayed till all children can be accounted
for. The explosion caused most of the folks to take their kids and run.

H: Room 255. Tons carry the kid in. Reverend you are waiting here?

R: Correct wake me on my headset if needed

With that Reverend drives off into the parking garage, the front window
tints and fades to black.

T: I hate it when he does that. Always spooky the way he can sleep in
seconds. Ick.

H: Lets go.

They carry the child to the elevator go into the room. Homer pulls out a
deck from his bag and immediately sets up shop. Scanning police and fire
frequencies.

H: Reports coming in. All children are accounted for except 10. Tracking
the final ones now.

T: She's waking up!


The child stirs on the bed. Waking up, looking over at a short stocky
dwarf, wearing tall leather boots, blue jeans and a scottish cap. The
human plugged in has a crew cut covered by a large orange baseball cap,
dressed similar to the dwarf, but workboots instead of leather ones.

K: Who are you! Why am I here! Why is my hair icky black!

T: Calm down kid! We will explain now hold on!

K: I WANNA GOTO SCHOOL! I WANT MY BLOND HAIR!

H: Shhhh! You'll alert the neighbors!

T: Look you sniveling brat! You shut that pretty lil pink hole of yours

The child nods her head.
