UNDERCOVER LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

PART 36 BRETTONIO

When they arrived from the hospital, a burst of shots suddenly sounded.)

Sylvie: (scared) What's going on?

Antonio: Fast, hide!

(Sylvie and Antonio quickly try to retreat from danger with the twins while Julie seeks refuge.)

Julie: (scared) What's going on?

Antonio: Julie, hide behind that fence. Sylvie, fast!

(Everyone is trying to find shelter from an unknown attacker who started shooting. Confusion and fear fill the air.)

Sylvie: (screaming) We have to get out of here! Fast, against that wall!

Antonio: Julie, stick after us. Sylvie, let's go!

(The family quickly moves towards the wall, looking for shelter from shooting. When they hide, Antonio takes the phone out of his pocket and tries to call for help.)

Antonio: (with phone in hand) I call the police. Endure, family.

Julie: (concerned) What if they come to us?

Sylvie: (hugs Julie and twins) Let's calm down. The police will be here soon. We must stay together and be strong.

(The tension in the air is rising as the family waits for help, while an unknown attacker continues shooting. Unanswered questions further complicate an already difficult situation.)

(The tension is still rising while waiting for help. The shooting continues, but the police are already hearing warnings and approaching. Sylvie and Antonio are concerned about the safety of their family. Finally, the sound of a mermaid police fills the air, which is a relief for everyone present.)

Hank: Are you okay? What happened?

Antonio: We don't know. All of a sudden, someone started firing. Thank God for coming.

Sylvie: Where is the attacker?

Erin: We took care of him. Now you're safe.

(Suddenly, Julie screams from pain, which instantly attracts the attention of Sylvia, Antonio and police officers. Everyone is frightened by an unexpected cry.)

Sylvie: (worried) Julie, what happened?

Julie: (abdominal distress) Hurt! Something is wrong...

Antonio: Fast, we go to the hospital! Withstand Julie. We'll get in there quickly.

(Antonio carefully lifts Julie. They are soon reached by Natalie and April by wheelchair.)

Sylvie: Julie, stay with us. You'll be okay

Antonio: (hopeful) Everything will be fine.

(Julie going unconscious.)

Sylvie: (screaming) Julie!

Natalie: Julie, stay with me!

(

Julie was immediately referred to surgery. Sylvie, Antonio and twins
Mason and Azra remain anxious in the waiting room while emergency medical procedures for Julie take place. Their faces are gazed at the door of the operating room, full of worries and uncertainties.)

Sylvie: (eye worries) I hope everything will be fine.

Antonio: (with worries in voice) Julie is strong. Doctors will do everything in their power.

(While waiting for news of Julie's condition, the time in the waiting room seems infinitely long to them. Hearts beat fast because they are aware of the seriousness of the situation.)

(An intelligence team arrives soon to be with Sylvie, Antonio, and babies Mason and Azra at their difficult moment. The team's worried faces reflect deep friendship and connection among members. Erin, who was the first, approaches Sylvie and Antonio.)

Erin: Sylvie, Antonio, what happened? How is Julie?

Sylvie: (tears in the eyes) We do not know exactly. Suddenly, she felt severe pain and lost consciousness. It's good that we were close to the hospital.

Hank: Where is she now?

Antonio: On surgery. She was urgently taken there.

(All team members present express their deep sympathy and support to Sylvia and Antonio at this difficult moment. Together they are waiting for news of Julie's condition, united in friendship and a shared desire for her recovery.)

(Sylvie retires away from the band for a moment and decides to call Jake. While holding the phone in his hand, he opens up a difficult conversation with him.)

Sylvie: (nervous) Jake, that's me, Sylvie. We need to talk.

Jake: (contempt) What do you want? I hope there's nothing wrong with Julia or your new boyfriend.

Sylvie: You mean husband. Julie is in the hospital. She was shot and taken to surgery.

Jake: (unusually calm) And why should I talk about it?

Sylvie: Because Julie is your daughter, Jake! Damn it! . We are parents together and I want you to be informed about what's going on.

Jake: (emotional) If you just want to feel bad, you're doing it.

Sylvie: That is not my goal. Julie is at risk, and I think she should be part of it, no matter what our differences.

Jake: (cynical) Well, I hope everything will be fine with her.

Sylvie: I would be grateful if I could show sympathy a little. You have the right to know what is happening.

Jake: (Unfrustrated) Okay, I'm informed. What now?

Sylvie: If you would like, you can come to the hospital. Julie would be happy if she could see you.

Jake: Consider this. But don't think I'll get back into your life because of it.

Sylvie: To ni o naju, Jake. To je o Julii in njenem zdravju.

Jake: ....

Sylvie: This is not about us, Jake. This is about Julia and her health..

(Sylvie interrupts the call, and feels relieved that she's at least tried to contact Jake during this difficult moment.)
