*The scene opens with Hayden sitting in a chair in Ryan’s room. He is still confused as to who Ryan is talking about.*
Ryan: Lucy! The girl we were helping, the one who attacked us on the bus.
Hayden: Attacked on the bus? What do you mean?
Ryan: You don't remember? She made the bus crash.
Hayden: What are you talking about? That was an accident.
*The two are interrupted by someone knocking on Ryan’s door. They look over to see Andrew walking in.*
Andrew: Hey, man. Nice to see you're up. How are you feeling?
Ryan: Besides the gash across my chest, I'm fine.
Hayden: Nice of you to join us, Andrew. Took that nurse long enough to ditch you.
Andrew: Hey, can't blame a man for trying. I ain't ever seen one that fine before.
Ryan: Alright, alright. You can tell us about it later. It's a good thing you're here. You remember Lucy, right?
Andrew: Who? I don’t know anyone named Lucy. Hayden, who is he talking about?
Hayden : I'm just as confused as you are, my friend. Are you sure you didn’t also hit your head?
Ryan: My head is working just fine. It’s you guys who hit your heads, apparently.
Hayden: Did you ask anyone else about this “Lucy”?
Ryan: I asked Isaiah. He gave the same answer. No clue who I was talking about.
Andrew: You know that doesn’t look good for you.
*Suddenly, a nurse enters the room.*
Nurse: I just wanted to let you all know that Zack Cooper has regained consciousness.
Ryan: Really!?
Hayden: We need to see him!
Nurse: I can’t let you see him right now, unfortunately.
Andrew: And why not?
Hayden: Calm down, Andrew. If he doesn’t want visitors, that’s fine. He should rest.
Nurse: Actually, that’s not the reason…
Ryan: Then what is?
Nurse: We have a detective on the scene who said he had some questions for Zack as soon as he woke up. A man named Roger Penrose.
*Ryan’s face goes white, as if he’d seen a ghost.*
Ryan: Aw shit…
*The scene cuts to Penrose opening the door to Zack’s hospital room. Zack’s neck is wrapped in bandages, and his wrist is in a splint.*
Penrose: Morning.
*Zack sits there, quietly staring at Penrose as he pulls up a chair next to his bed. He flashes his badge at Zack.*
Penrose: Detective Roger Penrose. Got some questions for you. Can you manage?
*Zack continues to stare at Penrose for a moment, before pointing at his bandage wrapped neck.*
Penrose: Hm. Alright, I get the message.
*Penrose reaches into his trench coat and pulls out a pen and a notebook.*
Penrose: If you can’t talk, you can at least use this. You are able to write, aren’t you?
*Zack slowly takes the pen and notebook, and begins writing something. He then turns the notebook around to reveal big letters that spell out “FUCK OFF”.*
