VIVIAN'S APARTMENT

Vivian, Brian, Daryl, Rosita, and Shaun are standing around the table with the file laid out on the table.

Vivian: Where'd you find this?

Brian: That Tyler's apartment. Rosita found a secret room in the back of the closet.

Rosita: That was in clear view on a table.

Vivian looks down at the file right down at her uncle's name.

Daryl: What do you think it means? Anything about Rick in there?

Vivian slides the file across the table towards Shaun who scans his eyes over it, reading

Shaun: Can't really tell. A lot's been blacked out but from what I can tell, it's mainly about Ian.

Rosita: What's it say?

Shaun: Nothing much. Whoever took them, took them to different locations. Rick one place and Ian another.

He taps his finger on a underlined word in the file; Project Variant

Daryl: There's that word again. What the hell is Project Variant?

Shaun: Not sure. Just that it says Ian was a candidate. A prime one

Vivian: This is dated three years from the bridge.

Brian and Rosita: What?

Daryl: You think this has anything to do with those missing people you've been looking into?

Vivian and Shaun exchanges a look with each other

Vivian: Maybe

Shaun: I may have something. Give me a few hours.

Vivian: Until we know for sure, this stays between us.

ELSEWHERE-NEXT DAY-COMMONWEALTH POLICE DEPARTMENT

Shaun is sitting at a desk in the small makeshift police department as Eugene stands beside him

Eugene: If no one's seen her and no one's talked to her, how can she have called in sick?

Shaun: I never said she did, Eugene. All I know is what her supervisor told us was she never showed up.

He sighs and stands up

Shaun: I'll ask around and if I find out anything, I'll tell you

Eugene nods his head and leaves the office. Vivian enters the room

Vivian: Stephanie's missing?

Shaun: Maybe. Don't know for sure

Vivian: Couldn't hurt to ask around

Shaun: Yeah that's what I was gonna do.

Vivian: Let's stop by her apartment, see what we can see

STEPHANIE'S APARTMENT

Vivian and Shaun stands in the hallway outside Stephanie's apartment. Vivian knocks on the door

Vivian: This is the CPD. We've been asked to perform a wellness check.

She knocks on the door again, louder this time.

Vivian: Please open the door.

She and Shaun gives each other confused looks. Vivian inserts a pair of keys in the lock and unlocks the door, opening it and they enter into the apartment

OUTSIDE

Eugene is patiently waiting outside when Vivian and Shaun walks outside.

Vivian: She's not there.
