Scene 1:

After falling asleep on the plane, the two wake up from the long flight. It's morning in Sydney. They walk out of the airport, and find a discreet alley.

Zoey: (takes off the wig) I think we can get rid of these now.

JJ: You sure? 

Zoey: Yep. I saw a news article on the plane. They found our fingerprints in the apartment we broke into. They still think we're not too far away.

JJ: (takes off the wig) Wow. And what do we do with the fake IDs?

Zoey: We can toss them into a trash can. Or as they say call it here, rubbish.

[They dispose the wigs and the fake IDs, and start walking away]

JJ: And now what do we do? We don't have IDs.

Zoey: We're gonna need new ones. Those would only allow us to stay for a short period. We actually need a shitload of fake documents now. New IDs, visas, school files with fake grades, etc.

JJ: School? We're going back to school?

Zoey: Why not? Isn't that what normal 18 year olds are doing?

JJ: Not in here. This is Australia. There's a lot of people quitting school at 16, and 17. It's like you don't even know shit about this country.

Zoey: That's because I don't, and I could not care less. You're the one who wanted to come here. And for what it's worth, I still think we should go to school. Keep it lowkey.

JJ: Fine by me, then. So where do we start?

Zoey: We can take care of the fake documents, and then transfer to our new school... That is, if you want to.

JJ: If I want what?

Zoey: You got what you wanted, didn't you? You made it out of America. I thought that maybe, you would want to part ways now, since you hate me so much.

JJ: I... I don't think that's a good idea.

Zoey: Aw, isn't that adorable? Poor JJ is starting to like me. That, or you're just too scared to be on your own.

JJ: I'm not scared. And I definitely don't like you.

Zoey: Cool. Then figure it out yourself.

JJ: What? No. That's not what I meant by-

Zoey: Whatever. Let's just go get ourselves some new documents.



Scene 2:

Once again, Zoey managed to get them all the fake documents they need. A few hours have passed, and right now, they're waiting for their food, at a fancy hamburger restaurant.

JJ: You sure it's a good idea to just keep calling ourselves JJ and Zoey?

Zoey: They're not gonna be looking for us here. At least not in a long time. We're good.

JJ: Huh. If you say so. Let's just hope these fake documents work.

Zoey: They will. I know that guy from the dark web. He's been helping americans getting forged documents for years. Two years ago, he sent an american kid to Brisbane, just so that he could be with his brother, who was also here with a fake ID.

JJ: Wow. And there I was, thinking you knew nothing about Australia.

Zoey: A true criminal has to know people in the right places.

JJ: That's great, but I didn't come here to be a criminal. I just want a normal life.

Zoey: Me too. I'm done with that, JJ. Aside from living under a fake identity, I can assure you I won't commit any serious crimes anymore. I'm done with that.
