[the scene fades in on where EPISODE 1 left off on]
ISABELLE- I think... I'll choose...
[JACOB leans closer in anticipation]
ISABELLE- I'll go to the police station and see Chief Reeves.
JACOB- Good call, I didn't like that "Detective Crawford".
ISABELLE- Why not? He seems really nice.
JACOB- [mumbling] Yeah, a little too nice.
ISABELLE- I should probably get going, it's 7:55 already and it will probably take us about 5 minutes to get there.
JACOB- [excited] Oh! If you get the job, can I be your assistant? [he playfully nudges ISABELLE] Your Winston to your Sherlock?
ISABELLE- [chuckles] If Chief Reeves is ok with it, then I'd love for you to be my Winston.
JACOB- [JACOB wraps his arms around ISABELLE'S shoulders and squeezes her with excitement] Yay! I get to partner with Sherlock Holmes!
ISABELLE- [snickers] Yeah you do, now could you let go of me? I need to breathe, you know.
JACOB- [JACOB lets go] Oh yeah, sorry Izzy.
ISABELLE- Alright, now let's get going before we're late.
[next scene shows ISABELLE and JACOB walking down the street together, when DETECTIVE CRAWFORD walks up to them and stops them in their tracks]
DETECTIVE CRAWFORD- I knew I saw you two.
JACOB- Where did you come from?
ISABELLE- Hello detective.
DETECTIVE CRAWFORD- [DETECTIVE CRAWFORD turns to JACOB with a grin] Could I steal your girlfriend for a minute?
ISABELLE- I'm not his girlfriend, I'm his best friend.
DETECTIVE CRAWFORD- [DETECTIVE CRAWFORD leans closer to ISABELLE'S face] Even better~
JACOB- Hey woah! That's way too close! [JACOB pushes DETECTIVE CRAWFORD and ISABELLE apart]
DETECTIVE CRAWFORD- Relax kid, I was just teasing.
[JACOB remains quiet and DETECTIVE CRAWFORD turns to ISABELLE]
DETECTIVE CRAWFORD- So, can I steal you for a moment, ma'am?
ISABELLE- I guess. Wait here Jacob, I'll be back.
JACOB- Fine.
[ISABELLE and DETECTIVE CRAWFORD walk away from JACOB and walk to an alleyway]
DETECTIVE CRAWFORD- So here's the thing princess, I only wanted you for the job.
ISABELLE- Huh? Oh, no I was heading to the police station. I want to take Chief Reeves' invitation.
DETECTIVE CRAWFORD- Him? You're choosing some strict old man over me?
ISABELLE- I'm sorry, but I'd rather go with his offer. He seems to be more experienced.
DETECTIVE CRAWFORD- Because of his age? Yeah I know, I thought that too.
ISABELLE- What? How would you know?
DETECTIVE CRAWFORD- Because I worked for him before I worked alone.
ISABELLE- If you work alone, then why do you need me?
DETECTIVE CRAWFORD- I think I could bend my own rules a little; I can see us working perfectly together.
ISABELLE- Look, Mr. Crawford, I'm really sorry but I–
