  Rex’s dad- Damn this “Vagrant” keeps making it harder to live I went into my job today and they kept asking me if I saw anything suspicious and kept watching me while I worked, guess you can’t trust anyone now

  Rex’s mom- Now now honey we shouldn’t worry about some ol’ thief at least he hasn’t stolen from any of us

  Rex’s dad- You don’t know maybe he could one day

  (Ray is in the background, looking saddened because he didn’t want to make anyone’s life worse, he just wanted to survive)

  (The scene transitions from Ray’s head down to S.G. Lerena’s face up)

  Dane- Supreme General Lerena I have urgent news

  S.G. Lerena- What is it Dane

  Dane- The King himself is going to look into matters of the “The Vagrant”

  (S.G. Lerena is shocked)

  S.G. Lerena- Why didn’t he contact me

  Dane- I do not know, I received this information from the right hand of the King himself

  S.G. Lerena- Did he say when?

  Dane- No ma’am

  S.G. Lerena- *in head/frustrated* What does father want with this; sure it’s been a while and “The Vagrant” is still on the loose but there is no need to warrant Father’s involvement

  Dane- *worried* Are you alright Miss

  S.G. Lerena- *reassuring* I’m alright Dane, just a little shaken up

  Dane- *sweat dropped* O…oh…uh…Well miss I better get going, I don’t want my paperwork to pile up, I bid you farewell miss, good luck

  S.G. Lerena- Good luck to you to Dane
