Summary of Events:
Hilton and Mackenzie drove to Milan, trying to think of a way to get Dr. Haner the warning. Hilton ended up running into a lost and confused Brian the fifth — Dr. Haner's son — and decided to help him get directions to where he was going, along with passing on the warning; unfortunately things didn't go so well. Mackenzie then decided to try and talk to Dr. Haner pretending to be a reporter again, but was once again unsuccessful.
Excerpt of the Day:
""Hey, that's the reporter from Belgium," a different voice said as Mackenzie rolled down the window.
She turned and looked. Brian the fifth was gazing at her with an astonished look of recognition. He turned to Hilton suddenly and roughly put a hand into Hilton's shoulder, turning him away from the car.
"What are you doing with her?" Brian demanded angrily.
"With whom?" Hilton asked.
"That reporter," Brian replied, jabbing his finger at Mackenzie.
"Nothing sinister, I can assure you," Hilton replied.
"Why is she with you?" Brian demanded.
"Because I'm chauffeuring her around," Hilton replied.
Brian looked at Hilton with puzzlement, then he looked over at Mackenzie. He turned back to Hilton with what seemed to be a renewed sense of infuriation.
"You think you're some kind of James Bond, don't you?" Brian snapped. "Some suave Brit with a double o number and a license to kill and a hot woman on your arm."
"No," Hilton replied, gazing at Brian with his brow furrowed in confusion.
"You think you have it all, don't you!" Brian shouted. "Well I'm going to show you!"
Mackenzie uttered a cry when Brian shoved Hilton. Hilton staggered back, but kept his balance and put out an arm to protect himself.
Brian grabbed Hilton's wrist and wrenched his arm around, causing Hilton to cry out and fire a hard kick at Brian's shin.
Brian returned the favour, dropping Hilton to one knee. He then released Hilton's arm and seized hold right close to Hilton's neck with one hand, while rearing the other back to deliver a blow to Hilton's head.
Hilton managed to surge himself upward and drive his head into Brian's ribcage, which sent them both reeling a bit.
Brian recovered first, grabbed Hilton's collar in his fist, and delivered several heavy rights to Hilton's cheekbone. Hilton swung at air and staggered before going down somewhat slowly — thanks to Brian hanging on.
Rearing back his hand, Brian prepared to deliver more blows to Hilton's head. Mackenzie unlocked the door and hurried out of the car. She shoved Brian over and pried his hand off of Hilton's shirt.
"What do you think you're doing!?" she screamed. "Hilton didn't do a thing to deserve that! That was completely uncalled for! I can't believe you! Get out of here!"
Brian, stunned and looking somewhat devastated, scrambled to his feet and hurried away. Mackenzie dropped down beside Hilton. He was still conscious, but he looked quite groggy."
