Rami and I walked into the FOX studios with Joe and Ben and Gwil holding hands ... Rami and I, not Ben and Joe and Gwil, though it would not be weird. Jim had summoned us there. Apparently his search had paid off.
- Hi guys - Jim greeted us with serious expression - Things have not gone as expected ... Bryan Singer will here with his lawyers and with people from de DGA, so I guess we'll have to do it now in an impromptu way. He's just trying to save his ass but doesn't know about what we have
My eyes met Joe's and I'm sure he could see my nervousness because he gave me a reassuring expression. We sat in one of the boardrooms together with our attorneys creating our plan.
I felt like vomiting when I finally looked at the video from the security camera, Singer attacking me. His hand did not even shake when he decided to hit me. Rami hit the table and Joe and Ben and Gwil issued insults
But maybe our plan could work, maybe and finally we'll get rid of Singer.
Goodbye, asshole.
- Well guys - we met as players usually do in a circle before heading to the room where Singer was waiting for us - I don't want fists or kicks - he told us serious - Maybe one or two insults, ok maybe three but only that. The lawyers will be present and we have to look like the good guys
- We are! - Joe replied
- I know, but legally ...
- This sucks - said Rami
- Delegates from Directors Guild of America also will be present
- Can we just go in now? - Ben said
-Well, yeah - said Jim guiding us into a room together
Rami did not let go of my hand while Jim walked in front of us and the guys escorted us with two lawyers
-Good afternoon, it's been a while guys - Bryan Singer received us sitting next to two men wearing suits, a smirk on his lips that disappeared when he saw my face, the bruise was still visible despite the makeup
Jim gave us all a look, urging us not to keep up his game
-Good afternoon to everyone - a man stood at the head of the table, while we took our places - My name is Charlie, legal representative of the Directors Guild of America and I am here to issue a verdict on the credit of director of the movie in question Bohemian Rhapsody
My eyes went to the man across the table, who winked at me shamelessly. I felt Rami gave my thigh a strong squeeze under the table. I looked at his face watching his jaw tighten, the bones of his cheeks were marked more than ever. He was trying to control himself
-There is nothing to discuss, I see working people in this room except him - said Ben pointing to Singer
-Ben, please - Jim scolded, I smiled in spite of myself. Ben was behaving so Roger right now
-Do you see it? - Singer went to his lawyers - Always attacking me
- You know the reasons - said Rami between his teeth
- I honestly don't know - replied Singer with innocent tone
- You must be kidding - Gwil said with a laugh
- Whatever you think happened is in the past and doesn't matter - said Singer without shame
- What do I think that happened? - I quote his words feeling anger boiling inside of me
- Calm down Lucy - Jim told me
I sighed trying to calm down, Rami squeezed my thigh again and Joe put an arm around my shoulders.
