Back to last week. Back to Las Vegas. It seems I am lost in the middle of a black day. Blackest night, for the blackest knight.
I stayed behind in Las Vegas, to keep searching for Redd. I find myself at the Luxor. A pyramid with a strong light beaming up to heaven. I enter the lobby and soon find myself in the casino.
(Jude is wearing blue jeans, a white tshirt, and black shoes)
As I make my way through the casino I end up near the roulette tables and there I finally find him. Betting 500 dollar chips. He always liked to take chances. I am not the same.
As I make my way to the table, I end up right next to him. At first he does not see me, after a minute or so he finally does see me. A bit of color leaves his face.
Redd: what do you want?
Jude: We need to talk.
Redd: No we do not.
Jude: Yes we do. We can talk in front of all these people or we can talk in private.
Redd: Go ahead and talk. I’m not leaving.
(Redd puts 1000 on 6 Red, and so does the rest of the table everyone betting differently)
the wheel begins to spin
Jude: I need you to come back again. My time is done.
Redd: No.
Jude: Yes. We had an arrangement and Ive kept my side of it. Time you did the same.
Redd: I don’t have to do anything I don’t want to.
Jude: You are right. But this is something you need to do.
Redd: No.
Jude: Listen big brother. You made a promise just like I did. Remember who it is you made that promise to. Keep your promises.
(Redd stops placing wagers)
Redd: Let me think about it.
(Jude decides not to push any further and walks away from the table)
Fast forward to now.
Jude: Emerson my friend. I am sorry its taken me so long to talk about you. I have been otherwise preocupied. My apologies. But things have been in dissarray for me for some time. Feeling lost and sometimes out of control. Those dark nights when I feel alone and depressed. As if my despair knows no end.
I am not limitless. I am bound by the same rules as anyone else. And it is in my darkness, in my womb that find the weakness that is my all. Emerson, I wish I could be more like you. But the light in me is dim. And its dimming every day.
..Fade...to…..Darkness…...
