Dialogue[]
- (The restaurant's terrace is cluttered by tables and chairs. Nikki gingerly walks in, her eyes fixed on the detector in her hand.)
- (Suddenly, the detector starts to flash rhythmically.)
- Momo: (Whispers) Nikki, the detector just lit up!
- Nikki: (Whispers) Mmm, that means the sniper is close by.
- Momo: (Whispers) But... how come I don't see anyone? I'll go look around!
- (The not-so-big terrace has its view blocked by stacked-up tables and chairs. Momo probes around the area, light and nimble on her feet.)
- Momo: (Whispers) Nikki! I saw a black figure in the corner over there. Looks like someone lying down.
- Nikki: (Whisper) Let's go check it out!
- (Following Momo's direction, Nikki carefully squeezes through the tables and chairs and makes her way toward the corner.)
- (Just as expected, a sniper is tuning up a rifle that sticks through the crack at the bottom of the glass railings.)
- Momo: (Whispers) Why isn't Orlando here yet?
- Nikki: (Whispers) Let's wait for him a bit longer...
- (The sniper gets down to work, but Orlando is still nowhere to be seen.)
- (The sniper seems to have received a instruction through his earphone. He swiftly gets into an aiming position and puts his finger on the trigger.)
- Momo: (Whispers) Now is the time!
- Nikki: (Whispers) The sniper is about to pull the trigger, Let's go!
- (At that moment, a rope is thrown into view, then a man slides down and lands on the terrace.)
- (Orlando uses the momentum of his landing to kick the sniper aside.)
- Momo: Nice!
- Nikki: Watch out, Orlando!
- (A burly man comes out of nowhere and quickly wrestles with Orlando.)
- Strange Hunk: Come on, finish your mission!
- (After hearing the instruction, the sniper immediately repositions the rifle and starts aiming it again.)
- Orlando: Try to stall him. The others will be here soon!
- Momo: Time to show you what I'm made of!
- (Momo dashes onto the pile of desks and chairs, and lunges herself toward the sniper, landing on his head and blocking his sight.)
- (In the meantime, Nikki makes a run for the sniper.)
- Sniper: Get off me!
- (The sniper pulls Momo off his head and tosses him aside, sending him crashing into the pile of clutter with a bang.)
- Nikki: Momo!
- (Seeing that the sniper has repositioned himself and is ready to shoot, Nikki makes a dive for the rifle, her fingers held out.)
- Nikki: Make him miss!
- (The moment Nikki approaches the rifle, a muffled gunshot sounds. There's no telling if she's touched the rifle or not.)
- (Bang!)
- (The gunshot is not particularly loud, but the power it carries is absolute.)
- (Meanwhile, a crowd files into the terrace—they're with Orlando, Within a few seconds, they subdue the sniper and the burly man.)
- (Surrounded by the busy crowd, Nikki sits limp on the ground, her mind replaying the sound of the gunshot and the faint screams from the venue.)
- Momo: Did that shot...
- Nikki: Kimi... No, Kimi will be fine...
- (The smell of gunpowder lingering in the air, combined with the possibility of Kimi's death, makes Nikki suffocated.)
