Fox Wolox
Hired Gun
The Story . . .
Loosely based on the partial script...
"L. R."
Written by the late Floyd Wright.
The year is 2135...
SPLASH... DRIP... TRICKLE...
Mirror! Appear!
A mirror does appear from out of the shower wall...
Fox takes a look...
Man, do I need a shave, but damn if I don’t look good.
Mirror! Tilt!
At that same moment,
A beautiful female approaches his apartment door and swipes a keycard at it, and she says the door password, "Vector".
The door opens and then locks behind her, after she entered.
There is silence and darkness...
Then a voice screams out, "COME IN !"
A few moments later, she says, "WHERE ARE YOU ?"
He Replies, "I’ll be out in a minute, do you have it ?"
We see her long golden fingernails as she places a box on the Table.
Just then, Fox appears, wearing only a Blue and White "Pillsbury DoughBoy" Bath-Towel wrapped around him.
He Looks at her and asks "Do you have the item ?"
She is trying hard not to laugh after she sees the Towel...
She Replies "You were never much for small talk were you ?"
"No, I’m not, when it comes to my clients !", he answered with a stern low tone voice.
He goes to the Table and Opens the Box...
The object inside was a very shinny, silver knife of an ancient origin, from the 16th Century it looked like a knight’s knife.
He picked the relic up and went into another room for a moment....
The girl, named "Tawny", pours two tall glasses of Australian Burgundy Wine.
He returns, and they look out of the window for a while at the twilight sky.
Tawny says, "My word that’s a gorgeous sight !"
"Not as gorgeous as the sight I’m looking at", commented Wolox.
She turns to him and Smiles.
The room’s air started to get a little cooler, Darkness intrudes on the Sunset.....
The next morning, Wolox could hardly climb out of bed, to say nothing about taking a shower or getting dressed....
In the background, She awakens and asks, " Where are you going ?"
He says, "To get us some breakfast, don’t worry I’ll be back soon."
"What am I supposed to do in the mean time ?", she said with a Frown on her face.
He hands her the TV Remote and says "Here, chew on this."
A minute later, he left and went to the building’s basement...
He shouted a very strange phrase followed by "Car ! Un-cloak !"
His car appeared from out of nowhere and drove right up to him. Then the driver side door opened.
He slid into it and took-off.
An hour had passed since he left...
On the way back to his place, He saw the whole apartment building explode right in front of his eyes, he was frozen in shock...
An enormous flash of orange, yellow and red light appeared and everything was suddenly covered in flames.
A second later he yelled out ...
T A W N Y ! ! !
