Hedgie's Angels, Episode Three

Part Four

Terrance: (V.O.) We spent the rest of the day mainly wandering around town. It seemed innocent enough, but by the time the sun had started to go down a growing sense of uneasiness came over me. I could tell something was wrong, and if I was reading Kit as well as I thought I was, she could tell too.

Meggy: We're getting close to what we're looking for... I think it's in here. (gestures to a large building)

Kit: Fancy, a huge broken-down abandoned factory. What are the odds?

Terrance: And we have to go IN there?

Meggy: (sniffs the air) Yeah... I think so...

(Meggy forces open the rusty door and steps in. Kit is about to follow when Terrance grabs her arm.)

Terrance: Kit...I don't like it...

Kit: Yeah, Terry, me neither, but how else are we going to get this done?

Terrance: But Kit... never mind, you're right.

Kit: (offers her arm) Shall we, then?

Terrance: (smiles and takes it) Sure...

(They both enter. The door slams noisily shut behind them, preventing any light from entering. At first, they don't see anything, but then the small flame of a lighter bursts into view. It lights a candle, which then illuminates Meggy's face. The two Angels feel ropes wrap around their bodies.)

Kit: The hell! (struggles) Oh, this is just all-freaking-peachy, isn't it?

Terrance: Traitor!

Meggy: I'm not a traitor. I have no loyalty TO anything but myself... (shoots a vicious look at Kit) And my family!

Kit: Shut up now. Shut up and let us go and maybe you won't be in too much trouble.

Meggy: You have no room to talk, murderer!

Terrance: Murderer?

Meggy: (looks at Terrance) Ah. So you haven't told her.

Kit: (rolls her eyes) Stop overacting... give it up already! That was years ago, and it wasn't my fault!

Meggy: (draws closer to Terrance) There are so many things you don't know about your friend over there...

Terrance: Well. Duh.

Meggy: So many things... or are you just friends?

Terrance: (shocked) Wh-what? (V.O.) She knows?

Kit: Lay off!

Meggy: Yes, tell me... has her perversion reached you yet?

Terrance: (now completely lost) Huh?

Meggy: She (points accusingly at Kit) killed my sister!

Kit: (chokes) I-I did not!

Meggy: Do you know what happened after you poisoned her?

Kit: (heatedly) I did not poison her! I did not pervert her or defile her or anything like that! She was the one who came after me, got it? It was SEX! S-E-X- the horizontal tango, lesbian mating, intercourse! Nothing less, nothing more, however much either of us may have wanted it.

Meggy: Brazen hussy!

Terrance: Woah, hold it! Kit- you're gay? You had gay sex? And who the hell says "brazen hussy" anymore? Okay, forget those questions, someone just tell me; how did sex kill Meggy's sister?

Meggy: It was after she (glares at Kit) left. My dear, gentle sister, ashamed beyond any measure, took her own life... all because of that demon.

Terrance: You're right.

Kit: WHAT?!

Terrance: (starts crying) She is a demon... she-she tried to come get me in the night... thank God I sleep with my cross, I-

Meggy: What, are you saying she's already tried to, you know...

Terrance: (wails) Yes, she tried to rape me! Just this morning she was flouncing about, barely clothed!

Kit: Wait a minute here-

Terrance: We must kill her!

Kit: (beyond shock) OI!

Meggy: (nods) That was my intention.

(The ropes slide off of Terrance and she walks up beside Meggy.)

Terrance: Hmm. Now it mustn't be too fast or too merciful... and we have to make sure we destroy the body AND soul...

Kit: I think I'm gonna cry...

Meggy: I think burning should do nicely.

Terrance: (seems to mull this over) Demons sometimes survive the flame... it's their home, you see... now, if we first remove all the black blood from her hideous body...

Kit: Ah! That's hitting a bit below the belt!

Meggy: That would be nice, but we haven't any needles... ahh, screw it... (takes out a knife and starts walking towards Kit)

Kit: Uhn...

(Kit closes her eyes and scrunches down as much as possible. Then she hears a loud "bonk" and then a "ka-thud." She opens her eyes to see Meggy lying on the floor, her own knife in her back. The ropes fall off of her and her knees give way. Terrance, smiling, catches her before she hits the floor.)

Terrance: Scared, weren't you?

Kit: (still trembling) Gods, Terry, don't be an ass...

Terrance: (laughs a little) Well, I've had an enlightening day...

Kit: (glares up at her) If you hadn't just saved me...

Terrance: (brings her face close enough their noses are almost touching and smirks) Then what?

Kit: (speechless) Uhmm...

Terrance: I thought so. (closes the gap and gives her a lingering, but chaste kiss) When we get back, I want the whole story of you and...

Kit: (thickly) Irene...

Terrance: Yeah.

(Terrance supports Kit and leads her back to the apartment.)
