Mrs & Mrs Manoban

Third person pov.

Jennie and Lisa were at the motel. They had Bobby Lee tied on a chair. Lisa sits in a chair opposite Bobby as Jennie sits on the bed, leaning her elbow on the bedside cabinet.

Lisa: OK. So, now I realise you witnessed the missus and I working through some domestic issues.

Lisa says as she looks over to Jennie who is just looking down playing with her own hands. Jennie hums.

Lisa: That's regrettable. But don't take that as a sign of weakness. That would be a mistake.

This Bobby guy was skinny and a young kid so Jennie and Lisa didn't understand why their companies wanted him. He looks like an intern not a wanted criminal.

Lisa: Now, tell us what you know.

Bobby nods as he looks down trying not to make eye contact with the intimidating couple.

Lisa: Why do both our bosses want you dead?

Lisa had a macho tone as Bobby just shrugs. Lisa tries to act cool.

Lisa: You underst...

Lisa was distracted by Jennie tapping her fingers on the cabinet. Lisa turns her head to look at Jennie.

Lisa: Honey. Please?

Jennie sighs impatiently. Jennie holds her hand up at Lisa.

Jennie: Wrap it up.

Jennie says in a whisper tone to Lisa. Clearly Jennie was still upset about what happened earlier.

Lisa: Maybe it's not a good idea to undermine me in front of the hostage.

Lisa says softly but sternly to Jennie.

Lisa: Sends a mixed message.

Bobby nods agreeing with Lisa.

Jennie has a small smile on her face and she sighs. She wasn't feeling really in the mood to wait around until this kid starts to talk.

Jennie: Sorry.

Jennie says to her wife as she scratches the back of her neck.

Lisa: wives.

Lisa turns her attention back on Bobby Lee.

Lisa: OK.

Jennie shifts in her seat and clears her throat. Lisa looks at her.

Lisa: Where was I?

Lisa looks at Bobby.

Bobby: A mistake on your part.

Bobby nervously says

Lisa: Shut up. Options.

Lisa says to Bobby sternly.

Lisa: I'm gonna lay out your options for you, OK? Option A...

Lisa says while pointing at Bobby.

Bobby: If I could...

Bobby tries to say something but Lisa cuts him off.

Lisa: Shut up.

Lisa says more abruptly.

Lisa: Option A. You talk, we listen, no pain.

Lisa looks at Bobby in the eye and Bobby looks at her.

Lisa: Option B. You don't talk. I remove your thumbs with my pliers. It will hurt.

Bobby nods as he listens to Lisa and the seriousness in her voice.

Lisa: Option C.

Lisa chuckles as she straightens out her suit.
