Scott Pilgrim vs Ramona

Chapter 10: Jamming

Toronto, Canada.

<<What brings you here, Envy and Julie?>>
questioned Wallace

<<Hi Julie! >> replied Ramon

Kim was looking at them, unsure of what to think

<<You won't like this. Gideon called me...>>

<<And you ratted all of us out?!>> Ramona scolded

<<No! I... let me explain, this is not easy!>>

<<I'm gonna kill you!!>>

Ramona ran at Envy.

Julie shielded her and both Wallace and Kim held the green haired girl

<<Please stop and let her explain! I promise you Ramona, things are not like they seem!>>

The lady calmed down and sat

<<He called me and asked about you all. I replied that I saw you there for a few snacks... but I said I knew nothing else>>

<<Ramona has a point though. Why didn't you just avoid telling him entirely?>>

Kim finally spoke up.

<<Because I figured out he has cameras there. It is his place. He could have seen us. When we spoke, we were in a part of the room that had no cameras thankfully. But cameras saw me enter the door. He would know I saw you>>

<<Fair enough...>> added Wallace.

<<So you are trying to bluff him, right?>>

asked Julie

<<Correct. I'm also here to ask you for advice. What to do to prevent him from finding out I am "playing a double game"?>>

<<Remove the quotes Envy, nobody except Julie believes you here. We made an effort to do so, though...>> interrupted Kim

<<Keep up being vague. Don't call him unless he does. Don't breakup with him yet, he must think the situation is as identical as he left it.>>

<<Thank you Ramona. Thank you guys for your time. Me and Julie are going home for dinner>>

<<Wanna dine at my place, Envy? It's a normal home but... you can stay>>

<<A normal home is ok, Julie, my fame did not make unable to appreciate one.>>

Both ladies went away to Julie's, happy to have each other's company.

Wallace closed the door. Soon he would have to reach Mobile and the others, dine and rest.

Back in New York, Scott was reading, anxiety building up in his nerves and veins eveey concept he read.

He made sure to reread the texts he received and learn them by heart.

He had also read of how a narcissist behaves, and how they need constant audience and validation, which explained why Gideon hated being alone more than anyone else.

Scott closed the book and hid his phone.

Then, he took courage into his hands, and started exploring the lair to get potential clues about his master and abuser.

He tried to open the door that took him to hia books, but it was locked.  

Then, an odd thought hit him

"why would anyone close a eoom that has books in it? it must hold some secrets"

Scott started exploring the house. It was unsafe exploring the whole lair itself, as he didn't know how much time he had left.

Scott slowly approached the living room that Gideon always used to watch tv amd have phone calls, but nothing interesting was there. He was about to leave, when his eyes fell on a peculiar object.

Said object was a box with antennas. 

The canadian guy had seen this before, in an action movie starring Lucas Lee.

"A signal jammer..."

As he was about to take a closer look, steps could be heard.

It was Gideon, coming back home.

Scott ran through the hallway to his room, panting.

The door opened and a tired Gideon said hi, before plopping himself on the armchair.

Scott came out of his room, and decided to welcome Gideon

<<Hello there. Might I make dinner for us?>>

<<Ah, hi. I feel so tired, yes... thank you.>>

All this day Gideon had been at a VIP party with his millionnaire "friends". 

He wanted to bring Scott too and teach him how to dominate the world, but Scott replied he was too shy to meet such "stuck up people"

Back to the kitchen, Scott and Gideon had lunch.

Gideon could not help but look at him.

<<Ah, here's mister panicky again. What's going on this time?>>

<<The book... Ramona... abused me...>>

<<Revenge is a dish best served cold. Soon our time will arrive... but I agree. Realising all the pain you went through must be quite the shock>>

<<Could we play together someday? Or watch a movie, and maybe share each other's hobbies?>>

Gideon could not believe his years.

 Scott wanted to spend time with him.

<<Nobody before asked about my hobbies. Ok, we will enjoy each other. Screw the millionnaires, the weekend is ours>>

Scott subtly sighed. It was done.
Maybe he would discover something useful about him. 

Though he could not stop thinking about that jammer, he managed to think positive and finish his dinner before bedtime.

That very night, in Ramona's dreams...

The lady was walking along a deserted street, getting back home.

A black van speeds by, chasing her.

The girl ran, only to be surpassed and caught.

The black van was strange: it apelled ambulance.

She was taken in and saw Envy wearing a mask and holding surgical instruments. 
Ramona turned around to be who was her kidnapper and driver...

It was Gideon.

The doors close, Envy is about to cut her skin...


And just like that, she awoke panicking.

One more threat had been "sent" to her.
