A man is gagged into the basement room by 3 armed men. They tie him to the chair and put duct tape on his mouth.
==========================================
A businessman receives a call, "Mr. Smith, listen to me carefully. If you don't want any harm caused to your son, you shall follow my instructions properly and I don't need to remind you that involving cops would only cost you his life. Am I clear?"
==========================================
A lady wears her uniform at the backroom of the eatery she works at.
She looks at the time and begins to hurry.
====================================
"Today might be a big day for me. My years of hard-work would pay off. All my study about physics would yield results today.", Leonard smiled as he thought about his big project while tying his shoe lace.
He tried calling Gary but he didn't pick up. Gary was a successful engineer and Leonard's friend who helped him with the project.
"Hmm...he must be busy! I'll meet him later...", Leonard thought as he walked towards Sam Wrinkles, the eatery which was three blocks from his home.
========================
(Scene of some house where a child is sitting at the table waiting for breakfast)
Child: Mom.... my friends are waiting! Can you hurry?
Mom: Yes Dear! It's almost ready.
=======================
The lady with the uniform takes some coupons in her hand and walks towards the door of the eatery. The eatery is empty.
The lady walks out and Leonard walks in. The eatery is crowded with people.
========================
The eatery was themed like a bar.
Leonard walks towards the bartender section and takes a seat.
"Cheese Ham Burger?", John asked.
"As Always!", Leonard replied.
Leonard: Man, you make the best burgers in the world. I love them so much, I learnt the recipe at home. Tried quite a few times but no where close to you.
John: You won't need me if you get better. But I kind of feel you must be good at it.
Leonard: Not better than you!
(Leonard kept calling Gary, but he won't answer)
John: So how is your work with the big machine going on?
Leonard: (startled) Huhh?....Yeah yeah...It's great! (Still looking at the phone) I am going to test it today!
John: I know!
Leonard: (looks up) How'd you know?
John: Just how I knew Stanton Knights would win the match by a lead of 3.
Leonard: How the hell do you do it? I mean, for once you'd know insider information, but the exact score? How???
John: I don't have any insider information.
Leonard: You are bluffing about knowing my test today. There is no way you'd know. I never disclosed it.
John: See that calendar over there? The date was circled before I talked to you.
