“I’ve waited years.. and I still cant understand what you are, or what your purpose is.”
[Locke turns the box around and runs his finger over it.]
“I don’t truly even understand why you were even bestowed upon me. Yes you do. You hold secrets that no mortal man has business of knowing. You hold answers and I trust in The Lord that the secrets and the answers will be revealed to me when the time is right. I hold and I maintain my faith in this mission. The Lord has commanded No he hasnt and I shall carry out my duties as the soldier that I am.”
[Locke places the box down on the table and pulls a manilla envelope from under the table]
“When you have been assigned an order, you follow it through to the end. My orders are simple; to bring light into this cess pit called Arcadia. False prophets, thieves, sycophants – a cacophony of depravity and despair that will only be silenced by the righteous message of The Lord and it’s me us that carries that message and it’s me us that will sound the deafening silence to end this nightmare.”
[He looks down at the envelope]
“Bribery is a weapon of sin Miss Kane and you wield that weapon as if you are just in your intentions. In truth, you are not different to the rest of the filth that exists in Arcadia, you just like to think you are different you are no different either to them. You are a self appointed vigilante with a penchant of sticking her nose into others peoples affairs and not for justice, but for self gratification.”
[Locke takes a match book from his pocket and strikes it, the flames hovers over the envelope as it slowly burns on the table. Locke picks up his box again and holds it out in front of him]
“This box holds secrets that you can’t uncover. This search for answers has lead me down this path, no clues nor bribes needed. I follow the word of The Lord Do you really whilst you moonlight as a crusader of justice. That file on this table is yours, your misdeeds and misguided proclivities all laid bare. Now.. as you can see, it’s been purged. Nothing left but burnt offerings.”
[Locke blows the remains of the burnt paper off the table]
“Where there is sin however, there can be salvation. You can get down on your knees and confess your sins to me and The Lord will judge you righteous if he deems it so. Or you can continue down your path, just know that our paths merge when we face each other in that ring, and only one of us can continue down it. Save yourself, repent and embrace the light.”
