Trauma Angels

Trauma Angels

Trauma angels came down on her again,
Trauma angels saw the love she badly wanted,
Trauma angels planted a dying tree on her soul,
Trauma angels and their false hope.

She drowned in the words of the trauma angels,
She bought the stories like it was a wholesale deal,
She never though for once the God she’s forsaking,
She only wants love, given by the trauma angels.

Trauma angels laughed as she fell once again,
Trauma angels picked her up to fool her one more time,
Trauma angels smiled as they gleefully went on their deceiving plot,
Trauma angles got into her head at last.

She got split into two by the trauma angels,
She went on longing for the wrong things again,
She became too ignorant to listen to her own voice,
She was trapped in her own emotional prison.

He was given a call to stop the trauma angels,
He stood up to the challenge and gave it a shot,
He knew he was no match for the seeds planted by them,
He just knew he has a soul to love,

Trauma angels saw him coming head on,
Trauma angels tried the same trick on him,
Trauma angels saw him falling down too,
Trauma angels forgot where he was from.

He was going to give it all up,
He knew he was no match for anything given,
He finally knew he must not give up,
He learned to walk away once again.

She saw him walking towards him,
She threw the lucky charms again,
She still wants the deceiving promises by the trauma angels,
She forgot about the Mighty One’s trust.

Trauma angels feed her with more lies,
Trauma angels saw her hunger for that love
Trauma angels were going to be victorious once more,
Trauma angles injected the permanent poison on her.

Trauma angels became her God,

She forgot her real God,

God became a mockery to her,

He still has faith in God.

Ghosts (14-1)

(Shot back at Greg’s office, where Daniel enters back, approaching Lydia)

Daniel: Lyd?
Lydia: How did you get this?
Daniel: Lyd, I….
Lydia: HOW?
Daniel: I have several people working in the BI pool, they pulled….
Lydia: How certain are you? He was in several black bag operations before he quit, maybe this is one of his covers…..
Daniel: They pulled it out after he retired.
Lydia: BULLSHIT! They would never do that…..they would never….

(Lydia breaks down to tears again. Daniel approaches her)

Lydia: How could it be….how….

(Daniel sits beside her. Lydia cries on his shoulder)

Daniel: This is the only shot we have. I’m sorry things had to turn out this way, and that you come to know about this now, but let’s just say everything happens for a reason.
Lydia: I still can’t….
Daniel: I know….I know.

(Door opens, Greg enters)

Greg: Everything okay?
Lydia: (Looks up) Yes, everything’s fine now.

(Greg goes back to his chair)

Greg: So, what it’s going to be?
Lydia: I want to have a word with him first.

(Daniel looks at Lydia)

Daniel: Are you sure?
Lydia: Yes, and I want to see him, alone! No photographs, nothing!

(Daniel looks at Greg, Greg nods)

Daniel: Okay.

Ghosts (14)

(Shot of what looks like an office. Lydia and Daniel conversing with a man who was in midway running through a file)

Daniel: Well?

(The man, Greg Muller, looks up to Daniel and Lydia)

Greg: You can get the divorce, but the child custody’s going to be a tough battle. You will need good grounds on that.
Lydia: But you said…..
Greg: How long has it been since you’ve last taken full care of your kids?
Lydia: Four years ago, but that…..
Greg: Four years is a long time. Your husband had been practically taking care of them. I could get one of them for you but two, well, let’s just say you need a strong case on your side.
Lydia: Strong? THEY NEED A MOTHER! ISN’T THAT STRONG ENOUGH FOR YOU?
Greg: AND given the current financial condition Mrs. Lydia, your husband is in a better position to care for the kids. Not to mention the line of job you are in now…..
Lydia: Line of job?

(Greg stands up, he walks to the window)

Greg: (turns to Daniel and Lydia) You travel a lot, you don’t spend enough time with your kids. That won’t hold strongly on your side, sorry to say.
Lydia: What if I quit travelling, get a desk job? Would that hold?
Greg: (pauses) That would….but still, he has equal rights you know….

(silence)

Daniel: You mentioned a strong case…
Greg: Yes, Daniel mentioned that he might have had an affair with somebody. Based on that you can have a big settlement on the money or maybe appeal for the custody on your side.
Lydia: (looks at Daniel) WHAT!
Daniel: Lyd, calm down….
Lydia: CALM DOWN! WHAT DO YOU MEAN CALM DOWN! HE NEVER CHEATED ON ME!
Daniel: Lydia…just, please, listen…..(turns to Greg) Greg, can we have a moment?

(Greg shrugs and leaves the room)

Daniel: Lyd, I’m sorry. But what am I about to show you…..
Lydia: What do you mean?
Daniel: There’s something about Jake that….
Lydia: Something about what?

(Daniel reaches for his briefcase, takes out an envelope and hands the content that looks like photographs over to Lydia. Lydia looks at it one by one as tears rolled down her cheek)

Lydia: But….no….no…this is….
Daniel: I’m sorry Lydia. I should have told you about this earlier.
Lydia: But it’s impossible. I just wanted the divorce because…..
Daniel: Lyd…you and him had been away for far too long. These things happen….

(Lydia looks at Daniel)

Daniel: I know what you’re thinking. Us. Us happened after we left London. It’s vague. But with Jake it’s been happening for a long time. Besides he….
Lydia: But this is….
Daniel: This is the only shot we’ve got. Think about it Lyd. I know how much you love the kids…..

(Lydia cries bitterly. Daniel leaves the room. Shot changes to Daniel meeting Greg outside the room)

Greg: You think she bought it?
Daniel: The shock will enrage her further. She’ll bite.
Greg: Have to hand it to you Dan. You are one sneaky son of a bitch.
Daniel: You just handle her court case Greg. I’ll take care of the evidence.
