Police cell: Early Morning
We see Ryan sitting staring at the floor handcuffed. Other prisoners glare at him but he ignores them. Suddenly a police officer walk up to the cell.
Police Officer
Shepard! You've been bailed.
He walks up to Ryan and takes his cuffs off and he walks out the cell with Ryan and we see James waiting on him smiling smugly.
James Spencer
Being the ceo has its perks.
You can thank me later, but for now let's get back to lab, so we can….
Ryan Shepard
No! I'm not working at the lab anymore Spencer…I've had enough… I quit
James Spencer
I see… you've had a change of heart, so be it… But I warn you… I've seen what happened to you, you go public and I will destroy your ass.
James walks angrily away and at the same time Kai appears before Ryan.
Kai
That was… Unexpected, but he will not let us go without a fight. So our restraints have not been removed, only loosened.
From nowhere a man in casual clothes appears before Ryan.
Man
Ryan Shepard?!
Ryan Shepard
Yeah?!
Man
I am from the council of elders, our high elder has requested an audience with you and your friend…
Ryan Shepard
You can sense him within me?!
Man
Yes… We have been watching you, we apologize for the intrusion… But you have piqued our interest…
Ryan Shepard
So let's go meet them…
Ryan and the elder disappear in a white flash then reappear inside an old church. We see the other council members and the high elder, who stands up off his impressive looking chair and walks down and greets him.
High Elder
Ah… You must be Shepard… I am Roselle… You are safe here, my friend.
A ghost like figure rips from Ryan's body and turns into a tall impressive blue muscular alien.
Ryan
Kai next time you feel… Holy shit! You're a big fucker ain't ya?!
Ryan looks up at Kai who in turn looks at Ryan and speaks in a deep voice.
Kai
It is nice to see you in person Shepard. As you can see, this is my true form.
Ryan Shepard
No shit!
Ryan sways uneasily and begins to faint. The elders respond quickly and catch him and take him off to a nearby room to recover.
High Elder
Do not worry, he will recover.
Kai
I worry for him, old friend.
High Elder
Do not fret Kai, I sensed his memories and thoughts. He will realise who he once was, during this time I ask you be his guide…
We leave Kai and the high elder talking and drift into the room where Ryan is sleeping. The elders leave him be and tend to their duties. From nowhere we see a very short older man. He waves his staff over Ryan and they both disappear.
