[the scene fades on an alleyway and 2 suspicious men appear]
MAN 1- Hey, did you hear that the new detective found out what happened to that guy we killed?
MAN 2- Hey, we didn't technically kill him. We just made a depressed man be late when coming home to his wife that has little to no patience. He's the one that took his own life, not us.
[A third man comes in; the boss]
BOSS- You both are wrong. He chickened out, so I pushed him in; since you idiots couldn't just kill him properly.
MAN 1- Oh, w-we're so sorry boss! Uh, w-we'll do better!
MAN 2- Y-yeah! We promise!
[BOSS grabs them both by the shirts]
BOSS- Listen nitwits, if you can't do a simple task for me and make a mistake like this again, it'll be your blood on my hands. Do you understand?
MAN 1-
Yes sir!
MAN 2-
[BOSS lets them go]
BOSS- Good. Now, get to work.
[BOSS walks off and scene fades]
[the scene fade in on ISABELLE laying on her bed and staring at the ceiling]
ISABELLE- [groans] I'm so bored...
[JACOB walks into the room]
JACOB- Heya Izzy! Ya bored?
ISABELLE- Yeah, that's what I just said. I think I'm dying of boredom.
JACOB- [being dramatic] Oh no! I can't have you dying on me! Do I need to give you CPR?!
ISABELLE- Is that your best way of asking to kiss me?
JACOB- [his face turns red and his eyes go wide] WHAT?!
ISABELLE- I'm kidding! Your face turned so red; you look like a tomato! [laughs]
JACOB- It's not funny! I thought you were serious!
ISABELLE- Well that boosted my mood a bit, thanks Jakey.
JACOB- Ew, no.
ISABELLE- Hey, at least I tried. So what'd you come in here for originally?
JACOB- Oh yeah! Well I was wondering if you wanted to go on a walk with me. Yknow, just the two of us walking around the city together.
ISABELLE- Sure! It sounds like fun! I just need to get up and get dressed into something less pajama-y
JACOB- Ok, I'll wait outside!
[the scene fades out as ISABELLE gets up]
[the scene fades in to ISABELLE and JACOB walking around, chatting and laughing with each other]
JACOB- Jeez Izzy, I think you are the funniest person I've ever met.
ISABELLE- You mean it?
JACOB- Yes! Why wouldn't I be?
[ISABELLE is looking around with a smile]
ISABELLE- Isn't it just a beautiful day? There's perfectly shaped clouds in the sunny sky with no planes disturbing it. So peaceful...
JACOB- Hey, Isabelle? Can I talk to you about something?
ISABELLE- "Isabelle?" You only call me that when something is serious.
