*Later That Night* 

Ivory: *run into the police station* *run up to Ciara* are you okay? What's going on? All I heard was gunshots when you called.

Aunt: *walks up* she was at the crime scene

Ivory: *raise my eyebrows* *look at my aunt* *look at Ciara* what crime scene?

Aunt: We've been following a drug case for some time now, shots went off, we pulled up on the scene and they caught her and another young boy trying to flee.

Ivory: Are you crazy? It was Trey, huh? We're gonna talk about this when we get home.

Ciara: *cries* this is not the most important thing we need to talk about right now.

Dad: What is more important than this Ciara? You could've been killed.

Aunt: They couldn't question her without a parent or guardian present. Ivan you weren't answering your phone.

Dad: So let's go in there and get this over with.

Aunt: It's already been done.

Dad: *puts his hands in his pockets* what are you talking about?

Ciara's Mom: *walks up* 

Dad: Alyssa?

Alyssa: *shrugs* hey

Ivory: *chuckles* you've got to be kidding me.

Alyssa: Hi, Ivory.

Ivory: What the hell are you doing here? 

Alyssa: They called me, I was worried.

Ivory: You know how many years it been, it's a little too late to worry now.

Aunt: She's been living in Spain up until a week ago. 

Ivory: Auntie not now

Alyssa: I know I messed up, I was young, I made a mistake.

Ivory: Walking out on your kids is not a mistake, it's a choice. 

Ciara: Ivory stop, she's my mom. Not yours. 

Ivory: I've been every role since she's been gone and she gets to walk in here like nothing ever happened? Fuck no.

Alyssa: I appreciate how you've looked out for your brother and sister and I will never try to downplay your role in their lives, but I am here and I'm trying.

Ivory: *look at my dad* Dad, say something.

Dad: *looks down* 

Ivory: *look at Alyssa* stop trying and be better. 

Alyssa:  *shrugs* practice makes perfect
