Philip Benton Mc Arthur

Philip Benton Mc Arthur leans to railway station wall. He is waiting for the 6:10 train. 'Bent' as his friends call him, is on his cell phone talking to his best friend Markadious Quimm. "No everything is set. "

BLUE LINE TRAIN ON TRACK 4 DEPARTS IN 5 MINUTES blares out out the speaker.

Bent yells into the phone."No Marky every thing is in play. " He listens a little longer then replies. "Marky don't worry, got it. I'll call you later."

THE 6:10 IS ARRIVING ON TRACK 10

Bent looks around the station till he sees the gate for track 10. He makes his way to the train and boards the train in the 1st class section. A porter stops him and he shows his ticket. The porter smiles and lets him pass. In a few second he is in his private cabin. Waiting for the the train to to pull out of the station.

He leans back in his seat and his cell rings again. He looks at the number and smiles. He flips open the phone and puts it to his ear. A deep southern voice says to him." There has been a terrible accident those really nice folks from across the river just died in a auto accident. They just were not carefull enough you know how it is. They had just signed the papers and were crossing that slippery bridge and lost control of their car. Its so sad."

"Yes I understand completely. The funeral is all taken care of. My new young bride will have to want for nothing. Every thing is going as planned. Her plane
should land on the island just before mine and I will meet her at the restaurant with the photo album."

In a few days it was all over and done. The small funeral a day or so to greeve and Xania was put on a plane for the island Saint Thadious. The local priest had met the plane and escorted her to the restaurant door. All the while telling her how very sad he was for her loss. When she arrived she is shown to a private booth over looking the water.

Philip Benton Mc Arthur arrives through a back door just as she comes in the front. He holds her chair for her then takes one opposite her. He notes her soft friendly smile. Bent looks down at the table, then at his new wife. He pushes the photo album across the table. He waits for her to open it. Then in a deep seated growl he says to her.

"YOUR SISTER is a slut.......your mother was a whore. And you father was a degenerate. Be thankful your allive!"

 

[Kililia]

Xania looked down at the photo album before slowly opening it. She look up at him as she heard the growl as she barely manage glance at the picture. Her eyes bulges at his cold words, she couldn't believe her ears, this came from his mouth. She almost fell back on the chair as it almost felt like a physical blow, it tool her a moment to recompose herself. Her smile faded as she balled up her fists: how dare you speak of my love ones in such a fashion....Especially since they just passed, have you no common decency?! Since that is what you think of my family, i rather leave now then be insulted by you...Good day...*She turns and begin to move away. Unlike her sister or parents, he highly doubted, she lived enough to accomplish what her family had of their own lives.*

 

[BRIGHTWELL]

"Fine!" This is my island. The plane you flew in on is mine. The boats on the island, mine. Your father signed all your asset over to me before he had his accident, by the way. And that brother of yours with the drug problem. I hear he may just get picked up again. What is it now the fourth time. He is looking at a lot of time." Bent pauses and watches his wife.

"You have been bought and sold, my dear wife!" He stands and smoths out his hair. "AS you were told. Every thing has been taken care of. Now if you refuse to do your part. And you wish to beg on the street. I will not stop you. I may on a good day flip you a coin or two. But your father's busineses and all your personal holding are now in my hands. "

Bent sits down at the table. "Oh and that dress. Give it to the father. He will be waiting outside the front door. He will find something more fitting for your chosen life, on the street. "

 

[Kililia]

Xania tense up as she looks away, reminding her she had nothing of her own. Pales as he mention her brother which was true,she wanted to lash out at him but knew it would serve no purpose. She found herself taking several deep breathe before she spoke: Why are you being such a cruel person to me...i have not done anything to you....*she look away from him as she restraint herself from falling apart: what exactly do you want from me?

 

[BRIGHTWELL]

"Rock solid!" He pauses as she stops. "Your father had a rock solid company. He was a degenerate gambler. He screwed you over for ponies and blackjack and the casinos. I picked up his marker at the Maverick House. Fifteen million Xania !" Bent looks out at the water. In a low vioce he adds. "Cruel?" he askes. "I'm your fuckin saviour, cruel!"

He turns back to her. "Look at the pictures Xania!" He picks up the album and opens it to the middle. He pick it up and holds it up for her to see. "Look your mother is doing lines of coke off the belly of an intern in the boardroom." Bent stands up and walks to the picture window.

"Your the only one that is half way decent out of your whole family." He turns and puts the album back on the table. He looks up at her. "Xania, they sold you out. Like you were a peice of the company." He says in a low vioce.

 

[Kililia]

Xania turns to face him as he spoke the truth: its not that simple...he...*pales as she heard 15 million* million....? *looks down at the picture as she looks horrified*... a...*turns away disgusted at her own family, turns to him: my sister is not a whore...she goes to school and has good grades...she planning be a doctor...*naively, unaware she fucking the teachers and principle * Why have you brought me here? to laugh before throwing me in the street? *She was confused as why he bother bring her all the way here*

 

[BRIGHTWELL]

Why have you brought me here?

"Why have I brought you here? You mean to my island?"He smiles at her knowingly. " This is where I live. Oh sure I work and have a place, a nice place I grant you. But back there is my job, that is where I do the things I do. Make deals, and make my money." He leans forward and looks in to her eyes.

" Xania, I don't even drive here. I don't have too. This is where the fun is. They treat me like a king. The local council has an open seat for me any time I want to go to one of their meetings. Why did I bring you here? This is me! "

 

[Kililia]

Xania looks at him confused to why he was boasting to her as she didn't understand what he wanted of her: I am....happy for you to achieve so much...what is the point of telling me all this...? Is this your way to ask a divorce to someone you find unsuitable to your station...Fine, then give me the papers to sign....I dont need you to boast of your accomplishment and insulting me to no end...You could of just send the form my mail, made both our lives simpler...*she was guessing, he didn't want to be married to a member of her family and she could not blame her even if she was nothing like her family. She was hurt but didn't bother showing it as she could simply take her own life later if it all became too much for her*

 

[BRIGHTWELL]

divorce?

"Divorce?" Now it was his turn to look surprised. Then he stops looking into her eyes and looks down at the table. She is not getting it. He collects himself.He puts on a serious face. "You are so lost. I see now that you need some time to find yourself." He nods lightly.

"Consider this place, my island, a place where if you like, you can find your self." Their food arrives and he starts to eat.
