EXT. CAMPUS PARKING LOT – DAY
Lin arrives on her motorbike.
Drives through rows of parked cars and finds Cathy's.
Scans the area. Coast is clear. She squats down beside the Jeep. Places a tracking device underneath it.
Gets back up on her bike and leaves.
PARKING LOT – MOMENTS LATER
Cathy emerges from a building, talking on her phone.
CATHY: Yeah, I just sent him a text. Yeah, to come fix the desktop. Great, I'll be there in a minute.
She gets in her car and drives off.
EXT. CAMPUS – PARK AREA – DAY
Cathy and Matt in exercise clothes, going through a crazy routine of dragon squats, lizard walks, and other impressive calisthenics moves on the grass, all the while talking:
CATHY: Any progress with the girls?
MATT: Ah, I dunno... I went to the cheerleading practice.
CATHY: And?
MATT: It was fun. Lifted like fifteen girls a hundred times.
CATHY: Right. And besides lifting them, did you make any progress?
MATT: Maybe... They said I could come to the outdoor training, try out some more. I'm going after Dad's test. And yeah, (reaches for his phone) a couple of them sent me these.
He holds the phone up in front of Cathy.
She stops her routine. Looks at the screen.
CATHY: Wow! Did you ask for those?
She grabs the phone and swipes for even more photos.
MATT: What, no! I just gave my contact info so they could reach me.
CATHY: And they sure did. Has Dad seen these?
MATT: Of course not! I'll delete them before his report runs tonight.
CATHY: Well, sure looks like fit and fertile won't be a problem.
MATT: Yeah, I know. It's almost too bad I can only do one.
CATHY (tilts her head, looks at the phone): Not to mention flexible.
MATT: How am I supposed to know who to go for?
Cathy looks up from the phone and hands it back to Matt.
CATHY: Guess you actually have to get to know their brains and not just their bodies, then?
MATT: Yeah, go figure. That's gonna take time.
Matt stares thoughtfully out into the air.
INT. LIN'S ROOM – LATER
Lin enters her room, leaving the door open.
Clicks the lights on. The screen lights up simultaneously.
She walks over and swipes her finger ID.
Sits down, hooks up her laptop, spends a few moments typing. Looks at the big screen again.
LIN'S SPLIT SCREEN
On one half, CATHY'S CAR IS BEING TRACKED LIKE A PIN IN A MAP, LIVE. It stops outside the address "Hillside residential complex."
On the other half, CCTV FOOTAGE OF CATHY'S JEEP STOPPING OUTSIDE JOEL'S APARTMENT BUILDING. He comes out of the main entrance, gets in the car, and it drives off.
LIN
LIN: FUCK!!!
GUYS (O.S., IN LIVING ROOM): Lin, you alright?
She shuts her door with a bang! Starts googling Cathy.
