ACT THREE

[KEITH'S UNMARKED - DAY]

Lance flips through the surveillance photos again as Keith drives.

LANCE

I gotta hand it to Councilman Horn. He is incredibly flexible for a guy his age. Look at that. You ever do that?

KEITH

Would you put those away?

LANCE

I'm just saying he's gotta do yoga or Pilates or something.

KEITH

Why is it always the "family value" guys that get caught with their pants down?

LANCE

'Cause the universe loves irony. And because most people are hypocrites.

KEITH

And what was that girl thinking? That he would leave his wife and kids for her?

LANCE

That is so sexist.

KEITH

How is that so sexist?

LANCE

You assume that just because she's a woman, that she was after a relationship. D'you ever think maybe she was in it for the sex?

KEITH

Yes, I did. And then I saw him.

LANCE

What was it that turned you off? That he was wearing a rug? Too soon?

KEITH

I just hope that the PI can help us.

[Keith's cell rings. He taps the on button on the sun visor]

KEITH(CONT'D)

Kogane.

[Pidge waits in a hotel lobby]

PIDGE(on cell)

Yo! So, the rug is a dead end. According to the housekeeping, they dumped a couple dozen of them last week. Half of them went into the dumpsters, half of them were donated to thrift shops.

[Pidge watches Hunk hand the attractive housekeeping manager a piece of paper]

HOUSEKEEPING MANAGER

No, I already have a boyfriend.

PIDGE

Creason's clientele is known for being hard on rooms.

[Two grungy drunk guys walk in. One drinks some Jack Daniel's straight from the bottle, the other begins unzipping his jeans to pee on one of the decorative trees in the lobby]

JACK DANIEL

Right there. Do it.

PEE MAN

Yeah.

[Pidge snaps their fingers at Hunk]

HUNK

It's fine. What? (sees the guy peeing) Dude, dude! Not cool, not cool!

[Hunk goes to handle the two drunks. Pidgesmiles and walks over to the pretty housekeeping manager who smiles as theyapproaches.]

PIDGE

So, you have my card. My personal cell phone's on the back if you have any more information...
