FRIDAY 13th - Adult-themed adventure

Saturday

Sophia is woken by the sound of her mobile phone ringing.

She decides that as she is so comfortable in bed she should stay there for a while longer.

The mobile rings again ... and again... and again.

Sophia gets out of bed to retrieve her mobile from her handbag – cursing whoever would dare call her and interrupt her beauty sleep.

Sophia: HELLO! (she barks into the phone) DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME THIS IS?

Cathy: (timidly) Is that Sophia?

Sophia: (calming down) Who wants to know?

Cathy: Or, should I call you... Sapphire?

Sophia: Stacey?

Cathy: No, Sapphire, it's...Chaz.

Sophia: Cathy? Is that you?

Cathy: Yes, Sapphire... it is me.

(Sophia returns to the comfort of her bed.)

Sophia: Where the hell have you been this past fortnight? Are you okay?

Cathy: (Sobs) Yes, Sapphire, I am completely okay. Can I come to see you?

Sophia: Certainly you can. Where are you?

Cathy: In the City Centre. I don't know if I should go home to the flat or to my Mother's house.

Sophia: Get the next train to Phoenix Park Station and I'll meet you in the car park. Okay?

Cathy: Okay, I can do that. The next train to Phoenix Park departs in... 20 minutes.

Sophia: I take it you are at Central Station?

Cathy: Correct.

Sophia: And, therefore, you have a train ticket?

Cathy: Affirmative, Boss.

Sophia: Okay Chaz, Sapphire shall meet you in approx. 45 minutes.

Cathy: Sure Boss. Thanks, Boss.

Sophia: Don't thank me yet, Chaz. You are in very serious trouble.

Cathy: Okay Boss. See you in 45 minutes.

(Sophia glances at her digital alarm clock which reads 07:21 as she gets out of bed and heads for the shower.)

Sophia: (sighs) As one door closes... another door slams into your face.

(By 8 o'clock Sophia is in her car at Phoenix Park Station as a train stops and Chaz alights wearing the same party frock she was wearing when she last saw her.)

(Sophia gets out of the car, wearing her tracksuit, and hugs Cathy as she reaches the car.)

Sophia: (relieved) I am so pleased to see you again, Cathy.

Cathy: (sobs) I have nobody else I can turn to for help.

Sophia: We shall talk about it... on the way to my flat.

Cathy: I don't want to cause you any more trouble, Sapphire.

Sophia: Nonsense Chaz. Trouble and Sapphire are old friends.

(They get into the car and Sophia drives to her flat.)

Sophia: Where have you been for more than a whole fortnight, Chaz?

Cathy: It's a very long story.

Sophia: You can tell me all about it when we get to my flat.

Cathy: I am sorry... that I caused you any problems.
