End Of An Era - Theo Pryce - 11-06-2014
The following is a continuation THIS rp for War Games. <====8 Click the link mofos
“Theo, what the hell are you doing here? I thought we agreed on meeting at your place at 5. And how did you even get in the building?’
“So many questions Erica, none of which are the right question mind you. But I'll play the game. To answer the first question, I am here because I want to cross some things off my list. And for your second question, I landed my helicopter on the roof. Yes, I own a helicopter. As I suspected you covered me entering from below but not from above.”
"What do you want Theo? Just to rub my nose in things is that it? Or did you come here to point out how much money we have lost since you’ve been gone? Or is it to take back your company? You know what, fuck it, I’m so over all this you can have it back.”
“Oh come now Erica, that part of my life is over. You can have Pryce Industries. In fact…”
Theo reaches inside his jacket pocket and pulls out some documents and places them on Erica’s desk. Erica looks down at them but does not reach for them.
“What is this?”
“Like I said, you can have Pryce Industries, these documents require only your signature to make it a reality.”
“Why? Why are you just giving me the company? I thought Pryce Industries was your legacy, at least that’s what you have said in the past.”
“You’re right, I did say that but over the course of the last three months I’ve had a lot of time to think about my future and during those months while I was away it became increasingly more obvious to me that my future does not include this company any longer. So I am doing the smart thing and giving it to you.”
“In exchange for what?”
“In exchange for nothing.”
“Not even a seat on the Board of Directors?”
“Not even that. I’m serious Erica, sign the papers and Pryce Industries is yours. I’ll walk out the front door and I will never set foot in this building on any Pryce Industries building ever again. Unless of course you ask me to.”
“What’s the catch? There has to be a catch? You would never just give me the company for nothing.”
“Erica there is a lot you don’t know about me. In fact, how about you have a seat and I will fill you in on some things that I've learned since last we spoke. Those documents there are yours to keep. Sign them or don’t sign them. The company is yours either way. The documents just make it legal.”
“What do you mean the company is mine either way? You are Theo Pryce, your father gave the company to you.”
“Actually he didn’t.”
“What are you talking about? Yes he did. I was there when the Executor of his will read it aloud. Your mother was there. Jim Davis was there as well.”
“Yes, I remember that to. Do you remember how Thomas died?”
“He had a heart attack while on a business trip in Connecticut.”
“Yes, that’s what you were told. But that is not actually the case.”
“What do you mean?”
“Thomas didn’t die of a heart attack. He was murdered. Shot to death to be specific. His death was covered up because when someone rich and famous dies in that fashion a cover up is the way things are handled.”
“What are you talking about? Thomas Pryce died of a heart attack.”
“He did not. He was shot to death. I know this because I was the one that killed him.”
OOC: See Here.
Erica takes a step backwards, a look of shock and horror quickly overtakes her face.
As this happens Theo reaches into his pocket and pulls out another set of documents and places them before Erica.
“What I just gave you is a file containing everything you need to know about Thomas Pryce. But for the sake of saving me time I will leave you with some bullet points."
“First, I killed Thomas, I killed him because for several years while I was a child Thomas sexually molested my sister Elizabeth. The end result of which saw my sister hang herself. For years I blamed myself because once I walked in on Thomas in the act and despite trying to protect my sister I couldn’t. Thomas was bigger and stronger then. So I took my time. I waited for the right moment and then I gave Thomas the ending he deserved. Thomas was a piece of shit and like a piece of shit I flushed him down the toilet."
“Secondly as it turns out Thomas was not my actual father. Yes he raised me but he and I do not share the same DNA. He of course did not know this. It seems my mother was a bit of a whore. I guess we have that in common. However my real father is a great man named Asmodeus. As it turns out I have a half-brother named Sebastian and as irony would have it he also works for the XWF."
"What this means Erica is that you and I are not related in anyway, shape or form. Previously Thomas was believed to be our genetic link to each other but that as I have just outlined for you that is not the case. That means that you are the one true heir to Pryce Industries and thus why I am leaving the company in your hands. Do with it what you want.”
Erica says nothing, instead she just remains in her seat, a blank look about her face.
“Erica….?”
“Erica?”
“Are you in there?”
Erica looks up at Theo, tears starting to form in her eyes.
“Theo...this…this…there is just so much to take in. I…I just…I don’t know.”
“You don’t know what? Everything I just told you is outlined in that file. Including DNA tests just to prove that what I have said is accurate.”
“And how do you know that I won’t turn this information over to the police and have you arrested for murdering my father?”
“You very well might. But what purpose would that serve? What good would that do? Pryce Industries would be destroyed. As I told you earlier once I walk out that door I will not be coming back. You don’t have to worry about me ever again. As far as I am concerned with us not being blood relatives we have no real reason to speak to each other again. Let’s be real here for a moment, you don’t like me. You never have and now you have zero reason to try and pretend like you do.”
“That’s not true.”
“What part? The part about you not liking me or the part about me not coming back? Because if it’s the latter I assure you it is very true. I’m done with this place. I got what I needed out of it. Do what you want with this company. Leave it to your kid if you are so fortunate enough to have one. Oh and that’s another thing. In that file is also some information about how Thomas Pryce came to have the money he did. As it turns out, Thomas was an Austrian Jew who fancied himself a war profiteer. I have not been able to actually figure out how he managed to escape the Nazi’s grasp but he did. He fled Europe and came to America where he changed his name from Thomas Renner to Thomas Pryce. Which means that little baby that you once carried inside of you would have been 1/2 Jew. I can’t imagine Nathaniel would have taken kindly to that revelation. Sad as it is to say it’s probably better off that that kid was never born.”
“How could you say that to me? That was my baby. That was Nathaniel and I’s baby. We would have loved him no matter what.”
“Oh you think so? Well if you are so confident in that belief when you see Nathaniel later be sure to tell him about your new found heritage and see if he shares your enthusiasm. Or don’t. Makes no never mind to me."
"Nathaniel is gone."
"Gone? Gone where?"
"I have no idea. He disappeared around the sametime you did actually. I have not heard from him at all."
"Well consider yourself lucky. The guy was fucking looney tunes. You are better off without him. As much as you may not want to hear it, it's true. Now having said that it’s time for me to go. Take care Erica. It’s been real, it’s been fun, can’t say it’s been real fun. I’ll see myself out.”
Theo gets up, buttons the top button of his three button suit jacket and heads towards the double doors of Erica’s office.
“Where are you going?”
“Out the front door.”
“What about the helicopter on the roof?”
“That one belongs to you. I left mine at the airfield. I’ll have it moved as soon as I figure out where I am going.”
“You’re leaving Phoenix?”
“That I am. See you around Erica…or not.”
Theo opens the double doors and walks out shutting the doors behind him. On the other side of the doors seated at her desk is Isabel Jacobs. Theo’s former assistant, now serving that same role for Erica. Surprised to see Theo walking her direction she puts down her phone and smiles.
“Hello Mr. Pryce, I didn’t see you come in.”
“You wouldn’t have. I came in through the elevator in Erica’s office.”
“I see. Are you coming back to work?”
“No I am not.”
“Why is that?”
Theo stops at the front of Isabel’s desk and leans in towards her a move that causes Isabel to flutter a bit.
“Because Pryce Industries is no longer what I want in life.”
Isabel smiles again and leans in towards Theo.
“And what is it you want in life now?”
“How about you meet me out front of this office at 6pm tonight and I’ll show you?”
“Are you sure about that?”
“Absolutely.”
“Ok.”
Theo smiles one last time at Isabel and proceeds towards the elevators. He presses the down button on the elevator panel, waits a few moments for the elevator to arrive and once it does, steps inside and hits the button for the ground floor. Once the elevator reaches the ground floor Theo departs from it, walks through the vast expanse that is the main lobby and exits out the front doors of Pryce Industries for the last time.
