Charlus smiled at the wonderful brother-sister bonding scene and turned to Denise.
"Hey, think of this as repayment for me going with you to the Gala. I'll meet you here this evening at 6. Call me if you need anything. You have my number. I have to rush.. Bye."
Charlus wasn't going to the mental hospital where the kidnapped people were being taken, he was going to a place he found on the way while bringing James to Denise's Mansion.
It was a Hollywood filming set. The members of the cast were preparing for a shoot. It was clearly a small movie seeing the lack of a crowd there but Charlus was still interested. Who wouldn't want to see a shooting scene?
"Come on! Where is that bastard?!" The director of the film was shouting to the workers as they were scrambling to look for someone. Charlus watched in amusement. He even chuckled slightly.
A girl who was sitting calmly saw Charlus chuckle and frowned. She whispered to an attendant and the attendant went to Charlus.
"Sir, I am sorry but you are requested to evacuate the premises." The attendant told Charlus.
Charlus smirked. "Why though? I'm just watching you shoot stuff for your movie. On public property. Is that a problem?" Charlus assertively asked the attendant who backed away from Charlus.
Charlus hadn't even entered into the line crossing over to where the film was happening. So he hadn't actually made a mistake.
"Sir, our madam isn't happy to see you. She says your clothes are too distracting."
Charlus stared for a second and burst out laughing. He couldn't hold it. Cause the person was literally in a bright red gown. Charlus wasn't sure what the movie was about and whether the actress was a big shot but he was in a long sleeves shirt and jeans. How was he distracting?
The director looked at the commotion. He saw the attendant talk to Charlus. His eyes brightened.
"Hey you - could you come here please."
He beckoned to Charlus. Charlus was amused. He went to the director. He wanted to see what the director wanted.
"See, you look like a fit man. How well can you do stunts?"
Charlus looked at the director like he was looking at a madman.
"You pick a guy off the street and you expect him to do stunts?" Charlus asked the director.
The director smiled. "I know the question is odd, but we need to have this one time guy do a stunt scene for us. You are this mugger who is chasing after our heroin and you have to do a huge stunt and fall down trying. Can you do it?"
Charlus smiled. "Sure. How big a fall?"
"Not a big one. Just 20 meters, but you will be falling on an air mattress." The director assured Charlus. He then dragged Charlus to the cast.
"Okay, replacement. This guy will be playing rapist."
Charlus almost spit blood out. Did the director have to out it so crudely?
"So we will be starting the scene in 20 minutes. Get ready."
Charlus was rushed to the fashion department. He was only supposed to look depraved so a quick wardrobe change and some mud changed his look. Charlus hadn't bathed for the day yet so he didn't look amazing either.
Charlus was rushed to the starting of the scene, the booth beside an apartment. Charlus stood in his position.
"ACTION!"
Charlus walked past the pretty lady who was talking in the booth and he whistled.
"Do you want to have the time of your life pretty lady?" Charlus advanced towards Charlus. The lady closed the booth immediately and started speaking anxiously. Charlus' eyes narrowed. He started struggling to open the door.
The lady pushed the door, pushing Charlus away and started running away. Charlus gave chase and the cameraman followed them both.
Charlus had a very big smile.
"Why don't you wait for me gal?"
They both entered the apartment and the girl rushed up the stairs. The chase went on till the roof. Charlus came to a stop as he stood in front of the girl who was rejecting his advances.
Charlus took a knife out. He licked the knife. "This knife will be having a delight tearing your clothes out. But I will be enjoying more." Charlus had a depraved expression on his face that scared the girl a lot.
She immediately backed away to a side of the roof. Charlus approached the edge of the roof. Charlus immediately noticed something was wrong. He immediately knew that she was going to fall off the roof.
The director noticed too and he yelled. "CUT! THAT'S THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROOF!"
The girl had already tipped over from the roof. Charlus had foreseen this and he immediately jumped over the roof along with the girl and grabbed her hand. He was still looking around and saw a window coming. He immediately gripped it when he was in reach. While he could survive the fall, the girl wouldn't.
He was able to grab onto the window that was peeking outside but he saw it was creaky and could snap at any time. He looked down and saw a metal rod that was peeking out that was very close to his arm.
Charlus let go and then grabbed the metal rod when he was in reach. They were now only 5 meters from the ground and even if they fell, they wouldn't even break anything.
The director and all the cast and workers were watching this with awe. They saw a daredevil jump after a girl who had tipped over the roof and then safely manoeuvre almost to the ground. And all of this was even caught on their professional camera. They say Charlus pull the girl up. They saw him then let go of his other hand, using his own body to break the fall of the girl.
What a truly selfless being!
