Gods And Monsters

(The scene fades in from black to a hospital hallway in the Private Care Wing. Nurses and doctors alike in masks walk up and down the hallways checking in on patients. Soon thereafter you see a set of double doors open at the end of the hallway as two of Kevin Devastation's private guards enter the hallway, and begin to walk side by side down to a certain room. As they walk you can see Kevin himself walk down the hallway behind them, and he stops at the door and stares at it, as his men slowly open the door for him. Kevin Devastation, no no, this is Kevin Devione, the man, the father, not the face of his brand. He slowly nods at his men and walks into the room seeing a comatose Allesandro Devione laying on the large hospital bed, with tubes in his arms and a breathing apparatus on his mouth to assist with his breathing. Kevin stops at his bedside and rubs his son's hair from in front of his face and has a look of pain and mourning upon it. He looks over, and see’s asleep across the larger hospital room his youngest boy, Hale Devione. Kevin smiles to himself knowing his son was not alone all along, and then walks over to Hale and taps him on the shoulder to awaken him. Hale slowly stirs, and realizes his father is in front of him and jumps up and embraces his old man with a deep hug. Both men share the embrace for a moment before they let go and look at one another.)

(Kevin holds up a hand.)

(Kevin motions for both of them to have a seat in the far corner of the room. Both Hale and Kevin sit down as the father looks at his son, looking how youthful and happy he looks. Kevin smiles at the sight before him leaving Hale a bit confused, but he just looks on. Kevin takes a small box out of his left inner breast pocket of his suit. He hands it to Hale as he unwraps it and sees that inside the box is a golden watch, placed next to a USB drive, and a single key. Hale looks down even more confused than before, before looking up at his father with a questioning look.)

(Hale looks on as his father's face turns to stone, and Hale sinks into his chair just a tad at this sight. He has rarely seen his father like this, and knows to heed his words well when he is. Nothing good can come from his father in this kind of mood. So he slowly nods and stays silent, as his father's face transforms back to its happy self.)

(Hale chuckles at the thought, but nods and gets up to go get his father some coffee.)

(His father chuckles at the words as his son leaves. After Kevin Devastation is sure his son has closed the door he brings out his cellphone. He dials a number and it rings and rings. Soon it clicks to voicemail.)

(Kevin hangs up the phone and places it back into his pocket. He wipes his face with his hands and sighs extremely hard and stands up. He walks over to Allesandros bedside once more, and grabs his son's unmoving hand. He holds it and looks down at his son's peaceful face. His face turns to one of anger and disgust, as he slowly looks over towards the window and out to the sky and cityscape before him. He calms himself and looks down again.)

(Kevin lets go of his hand and sets it back on the bed, just like he had never been moved at all. Kevin bends down and plants a small kiss on the forehead of his son and turns to leave, as Hale walks back in the room with two cups of coffee. He looks to his dad and sees he has a sad look upon his face, before he can ask why Kevin takes a cup of coffee from him and pats him on the shoulder.)

(Kevin looks at Hale once more with a smile, as he has a small tear in his right eye that disappears as quickly as it came. Hale looks on with a big grin on his face as he quickly one arm hugs his dad, and then walks back over to his chair opposite Allesandros bedside and sits down drinking his coffee. Kevin slowly makes his way out of the room as his guards lead him away, and out of the hospital down to his Rolls Royce Phantom. They get into a black Range Rover in front of his car, as Kevins driver Alonso opens the door for him. Kevin nods at the man before getting inside as Alonso shuts the door and gets behind the wheel.)

(Alonso nods to his employer and starts the engine. The scene fades to black as all three vehicles are seen driving out of the hospital parking lot and down the road.)

(We open up to the black Rolls Royce of Kevin Devastation sitting in the driveway of the Devione family manor in Charlotte, NC, the birthplace of Kevin Devastation's personal career and Devione Industries. We cut to another camera inside the home showing Kevin alone dressed in a pair of black workout shorts and a black tank top, wrapping his right knee in a bandage, and you can see his hands are taped up also. He finishes his wrappings and grabs a towel from the chair next to him and a bottle of Voss water from the fridge. He slowly makes his way down the hallway, and goes into a room to the left. He flips on a light switch showing a large home gym, with a large portrait of himself showing off his Hall Of Fame ring after he had gotten it. He looks to it and then goes to set up a bench press bar. He starts off with light weights, then adds more as each rep passes. After he had finished there he went to do some squats and started out small again, and added more after each rep. He was starting to feel the pump and looked to be in the zone. An hour had passed, using the varied machines he had and free weights. Kevin finally finishing up his workout he puts the towel around his shoulders and begins to head back into the kitchen. He suddenly stops and lurches forward, having to hold the nearby granite countertop for support.)

(He begins to breathe heavily, clutching his right leg. He slowly begins to make his way to the nearby downstairs restroom limping as he does so. He opens up a cabinet and takes out a medicine bottle. He takes two pills and swallows them without water and closes the bottle back up. He drops the pill bottle on the sink and slowly slides to the floor below it. He leans against the sink and begins to try and even out his breathing. Slowly he began to breathe slowly and surely again, and regained his composure. He got up from his spot on the floor and hobbled into the kitchen again, and dialed a number on his phone and sat down. Soon after a knock was heard at his side door to the patio and garage area.)

(The door began to open and you can see a man in a doctor's coat, with a medicine bag walking in. He notices Kevin leaning to his left side to alleviate the pressure on his right leg and then looks, and surely enough his right knee is wrapped heavily to keep it sturdy. He looks to Kevin with a knowing look as Kevin just stares him down. The doctor motions to the next room as Kevin Devastation walks into it gingerly and lays down on the long couch. He unwraps his leg so the doctor can look at it. He begins to examine the leg.)

(Kevin nods, as the doctor keeps on going with his examination. He then checks Kevin's heart rate and movement on his leg after a few moments of it being elevated. He began to explain what could happen if Kevin did not take it easy, because of a man his age he will heal slower than others, and that is just the facts of life. Also he explained that if this continued to be tampered with then he could potentially damage the nerves and could lose movement in his right leg entirely. Kevin heard his words, and asked if there was anything else the doctor could do to stop the pain, even for just a day or so because of business while his son was in the hospital. Stating he needed to go out of the country for said business.)

(Kevin sat up from the couch and stood, wobbly as he did so but stood at his full height of seven foot two, he towered over the doctor.)

(The doctor looks on in shock, not only did his patient request...no demand for him , something that he deems medically unnecessary, but to even double the dosage. Which alone would cause damage to his leg forever if something happened when he was under that kind of dosage. He goes to protest but Kevin stops him with an ice cold stare.)

(Kevin Devastation sits back down and props his leg up on the coffee table. The doctor takes a second to decide, before slowly getting out the large needle and bottle of cortisone and begins to administer the dose into Kevin's knee. He does not even flinch at the injection as the doctor cleans up and bandages the knee. He slowly gets his things together and starts to leave, Kevin Devastation gets up and pats him on the back and gives him a signature Devione smirk as he shows him the door. As the doctor leaves Kevin returns to his bedroom and closes the door. After about ten minutes you can see him dressed in black jeans, a black V-Neck shirt and black leather shoes. He makes his way to the garage area of his estate seeming to walk better than before. He opens up the garage to show an impressive collection of older classic cars as he grabs a set of keys. He walks down the line and takes the cloth covering off of a certain car. Kevin Devastation smirks at what he just uncovered, a mint condition black 1969 Dodge Charger. He gets into the driver seat and starts the engine, and as the beast of a V8 comes to life under the hood he revs the engine a few times, shaking the car from the amount of power under the hood. He slowly pulls out of the garage, and clicks the garage door shut and drives down to his guard gate. He stops and speaks to the guard.)

(At that Kevin Devastations front gate opened up, as he stepped on the gas like he was a young man again, and tore out of the driveway onto the main road. The camera slowly fades to black as you can hear the engine of Kevin's car scream through the night.)

Entry 3. Final Devastation

(Kevin Devastation is shown in his street clothes in his old office atop the 24th floor at Devione Industries main tower in Charlotte. He sits at his old desk, which has been unchanged since the last time he visited except to have been dusted. He walks over to his liquor cabinet and presses in the combination to unlock the lower compartment. It opens as he pulls out a bottle of vintage red wine, and brings it over to his desk with a single wide stemmed glass. He opens it and pours himself a glass as he looks to the sky in front of him, the black sky with just enough light from the office to show his reflection in the mirror. Kevin Devastation takes a drink from his glass savoring it before sitting it down to his right without stopping looking ahead of him.)

(Kevin smiles at that for a second before his smile slowly turns into a sneer. He looks out with eyes as dead as a fresh corpse. He begins to breathe slowly as he begins to speak again.)

(Kevin quickly picks up the glass and takes a sip in the same fluid motion. He sits it back down as he continues.)

(Kevin Devastation turns to his glass this time and slowly lifts it and takes a slow sip before refiling the glass and sitting it back down.)

(Kevin Devastation begins to laugh heartily, and takes a final drink of his wine before throwing the glass across the room shattering it against the wall.)

(Kevin chuckles to himself again before continuing.)

(Kevin Devastation turns from the window and faces the camera directly now.)

(The camera fades to black at Kevin Devastations knowing smirk.)
