A MONTH LATER

Stephen walks in, smiling and humming

what are you so cheery about?

Jane... I was just goanna tell you?

tell me what?

I proposed to Sarah.

Wow! Congratulations. When?

last night.

Tell me everything

well I found a ring in my stash, a diamond one; I figured it must be my mom's. I was basically wanting to ask you to help me decide, plan and shop, just that things turned out favorable, I had the ring in my pocket so I went ahead and proposed to her.

that is so sweet

she helps Stephen throw an engagement party at her house. The event is planned to go on well except

damn it I don't have a dress! (As she makes a mess on her closet)

what's wrong? (As he enters her room)

I am running low on my wardrobe.

I don't have a suit either.

Wow coincidence, then let's go buy one.

what now? The party is about to start about in 10 minutes, it almost 3:00 pm

Well I can't attend the party without a dress, which I totally forgot about

You are right

Jane goes to Stephen and she tells him that they were going to shop and might get a little late. They take Alex along with them.

Jane wears a black and white strips t-shirt, a dark blue jeans and a black leather jacket over it. Underneath she wears boots.

All three buy their dresses.

Jed suspects a black SUV following them. He ignores it. After they come out of the shop another SUV arrives on the street, Jed gets suspicious. He tries changing his routes, but the SUVs keep tailing them.

Alex and Jane have no idea of the situation; they are busy in their chats.

Jane, something's wrong.

On that very moment four men, two from each van emerges out of the vans and walks briskly towards them. They are tall, and are dressed in suits; black coat and pants, white shirts and black ties.

The four men gets close to them

whoa! I wonder who they are here for. Looks like FBI

Jed: no they are not FBI

They come really close to those three. Jed panics, he knows something.

Jane, come with me. (As he grabs her hand and runs)

what?

Jed to Alex: Alex! Run, run, run, and don't get caught.

Alex out of confusion starts to run in opposite direction.

Jed grabs Jane's hand and starts to run, Jane runs with him.

They drop all their bags. The men from the SUV pace after them; three after Jed and Jane, and one after Alex. They pull out their guns.

why are they following us, why are we running? Jed! (While running)

I will tell you, just keep running.
