Scenes 17-18: A Whole New Secret Plan for Tonight
Bee has just assured Cole she likes weird all of the time.
Cole says, "thank...thank you."
He's only a little teary eyed. He's smiling.
But... There's something he found out ahead of time.
And... Some unease can't help but come across his face.
Bee grins...until she catches that facial cue.
Bee asks in concern, "C? Now, come on. It can't be me."
Cole moderately sighs. He takes a nervous breath.
He confesses, "I... I believe you, Bee. But... I took these ceremonial knives from the kitchen. Why do you have them?"
Cole pulls away some of his bed covers.
And... He gets out from under a cushion Bee's two ceremonial knives.
Cole used a couch cushion earlier to hide that he was bringing them up to his room.
Bee looks fairly stunned and speechless.
Cole holds the ceremonial knives. But, he's not aiming them at anyone.
Bee realizes, "holy...shit. I taught you too well. You're not even sleepy. Are you?"
Cole points out, "you don't look to be sleepy either."
Bee grins some. Cole smirks some.
Then... Bee gulps very nervously.
She figures, "hey. I...I'll tell you. But... But, I got to get ready. And, I really need those knives. Okay?"
Cole nods.
Bee slightly grins knowingly.
Yet... She can't help but remember a dark memory of hers.
She was babysitting for a girl named Phoebe. She was driving her in a mostly red jeep...just before getting into a deadly car accident along a side of a cliff.
Bee thinks back to what her original plan for tonight was:
Drive those two ceremonial knives into a innocent guy for a human sacrifice.
And... It's why she's trying hard not to break down crying now.
Teary eyed himself... Cole asks in concern, "Bee? What's wrong?"
Bee considers, "well... Moderate sigh. Hard sniffle. Do you trust me, Cole?"
Cole somewhat lightly wonders, "why would you even ask? Of course I do, asshole. Sniffle. You're the best."
Bee bittersweetly grins. Cole smiles back.
Cole gives both of Bee's ceremonial knives back to her by the hilts. They're not aimed at anyone.
Bee places them behind her.
She quickly adds, "thank you."
Bee puts a comforting hand on his.
Bee kind of cryptically whispers, "Gambit. Season 6. Hard sniffle. You can spy on me in twenty minutes. Hard sniffle. Please? Hard sniffle. Not a word to your parents. I'm trusting you, my good sir."
She gives Cole's hand a squeeze.
Cole is about to say something.
But, by the time he gets the guts to? Bee is already out of his bedroom.
Cole nervously sighs.
He's not sure what else to do right now.
So... He thinks over and over about what she fully meant by Gambit.
After five or six times? A realization hit him.
He gasps very nervously. He tries hard not to break down crying himself.
He goes over to his laptop.
He double checks a certain TV episode summary on the internet.
Then... A very faint smile comes over his face.
Silent tears are falling down his face. He sniffles hard.
But... He has a strong feeling now of what Bee is asking of him.
He takes some nervous breaths.
A video game styled floating white text blurb comes to mind to him.
It says:
Cole Vs. The Big Bad Cult
And... Three bright green video game styled numbers start to appear under it.
