52   CONTINUED:

	Arissa shows him her hands, her sleeves, then turns 
	around in a similar fashion.

					TRAIDY 
				(pleased) 
			Very smart.

	Traidy holds out his hand. Arissa steps toward him, 
	away from the door behind her. She pulls out the 
	crystal, hands it to him. He looks down at it for a 
	moment...

					TRAIDY 
			Any idea what's on it?

					ARISSA
			No. You'll have to figure that 
			out for yourself.

					TRAIDY
			Don't go, yet. You haven't met my 
			associate.

	Behind Traidy, Sorm. steps out of the shadows with his 
	weapon. He doesn't aim it at her, just lets her see 
	it. Arissa knows this is trouble, tries to stay calm.

					ARISSA
			How are you?

	She starts to turn back toward the door, but Sorm
	raises his weapon and trains it on her.

					SORM
			Fine, thank you.

	A moment as she stands there in the sight of his 
	weapon.

					ARISSA 
				(hard) 
			Draim and I had a deal.

					TRAIDY 
			He was in a very emotional state 
			when he agreed to it. The truth 
			is, you really hurt his feelings 
			when you left.

					SORM
			He liked you.

	A moment... then Sorm takes aim.

					SORM
				(kindly) 
			Maybe you should close your eyes.
