[shows fancy hotel with line]
[three characters stood around]
SHADOW: guess that's the entrance.
FRANK: for what?
JENNY: a convention.
FRANK: for what? [long pause]
[screen glitch scene]
JENNY: yes! [happy and enthusiastic] the line is still open!!!!
[new scene]
But this is so long [sad and bored] what if they close at 10:30?
SHADOW: you stay here. I'll come done and help once I put red head [points at Frank] upstairs.
[new camera angle- Frank and shadows hands are on a beg together concealing handcuffs]
FRANK: do we really have to hold hands ?[embarrassed]
SHADOW: would you rather let them see the cuffs?
[new angle- top half of shadow and Frank]
FRANK: or you could just trust me and take them off! [angry]
SHADOW: not happening.
[in room]
FRANK: a room too? What kind of a job is this? [amazed]
SHADOW: guess.
FRANK: screw you.
[Frank sees the bed]
Wait. One bed. For the three of us?
SHADOW: nah. We have linked rooms. There's one here.
FRANK: ok so.. [evil look] you sleep here [points to bed] the other -hotter[under breath]- one and I will sleep in the other room..perfect.
SHADOW:[pushes him] the lady gets her own bed. [angry] you and I will share a room. I need to help Jenny. Stay here. [new camera angle] [cuffs him to the chair] do you need anything before I go?
[FRANK looks at him annoyed].
[The door closes and locks]
[FRANK looks confused]
[he sees luggage]
FRANK: his luggage...[new camera angle] he should have known better than to... [opening lock] ...use a common lock like this.. [opens case] ..easy.
[sees a CLASSIFIED labelled file]
Classified, huh? Let's see what you're all about,titanium kid.
[opens it]
[various pics of FRANK fall out]
[he looks horrified but picks up the picture and starts flipping through them]
FRANK: [picture 1] are these... [picture 2] ..all pictures.. [picture 3] of me?
[video of FRANK breathing heavily]
[voice over]
FRANK: has he been stalking me all this time? Since when? So back at the alley, he wasn't just a bystander? What does he want? Why do they have these? Does he work for silver?
What else are you hiding, asshole?
[pulls out a gun from case]
a gun...w-why does he have this? Frick. I don't trust any of this.
[zips/closes bag]
[steps and laughter]
Oh crap, they're in the hall.
[quickly gets back in position]
[door opens]
JENNY: I can believe they didn't see you!
SHADOW: it was just basic sleight of hand.
JENNY: I know, but VIP passes? I'd never even dream of these! Best mission. Periodt.
[JENNYS attention focuses on FRANK and she looks surprised]
You left him like that?
SHADOW: I was in a hurry.
JENNY: well it seems like someone's getting used to those cuffs. Maybe we should leave them on. [flirty]
[FRANK looks angry]
Was that not funny..[long pause] [mumbling] ..I thought it was pretty funny.
SHADOW: you get to bed. I'll deal with it.
JENNY: [voice fading] alright! Good luck! [just had peeking out of door]
[SHADOWS foot hits bag]
Well...[long pause] ..looks like you don't trust us completely. [new camera angle- FRANK hands alight]
One thousand. [spreads money on desk]
FRANK: huh?
SHADOW: this is a job. Remember?
[FRANK goes to grab money]
[SHADOW prevents hand from getting it]
Uh uh [tuts] I didn't finish. [throws picture of helium on bed] here's your target known online as helium. Her real name is sol ganner. She's a stream celebrity attending this meet-and-greet tomorrow. However, she might be in danger. You and Jenny need to make sure she is safe. Until this job is done the money stays with me. [puts money in jacket pocket]
[uncuffs FRANK]
FRANK: oh wow. So you really are the good guys, huh? [sarcastic]
SHADOW: you know...[long pause] ..I never laid a finger on you and yet you act so defensive. Would it make you happy if I started to act like those guys in the alley?
FRANK: [fake laugh] my bad! [shouting] you're obviously trustworthy! Totally not blackmailing me into this crap!
SHADOW: [shouting back] you wouldn't give me a chance to explain! [normal and calm] now that you know what I'm offering, the door is right there. You can accept or leave for real this time..[long pause] ...no strings attached.
But-you..said..you..you're gonna- you think I'm stupid? I'm not playing your dumb games! [ face palm SHADOW] You're just gonna boost up and tackle me. That's not happening again idiot.
SHADOW:[long pause as getting into bed] good night Frank. Just please shut the door when you leave.
[Frank looks for a second]
[flashback to money]
[franks feet walk to door]
[door opens and closes]
