GAIL VOICE

In the criminal justice system, Starbucks-based offenses are considered especially heinous.

In Seattle, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as The Starbucks Unit.

These are their stories.

(Dun dun sound plays. The light turns on the Starbucks setting. MADYSON is standing behind the counter, RACHEL, EMILY, and SAGE are walking into Starbucks.)

MADYSON

Hi, welcome to Starbucks.

SAGE

I need a grande pumpkin spice latte with soy milk and whipped cream.

MADYSON

Your total is five fifty, and that is the last of the pumpkin spice lattes. (SAGE hands money to MADYSON) Name?

SAGE

(MADYSON writes it wrong and SAGE moves to the side. EMILY steps forward looking like she is about to order but than realizes what just happened).

RACHEL/EMILY

SAGE

(Snotty).

I ordered the last pumpkin spice latte of the season.

EMILY

How could you!???! You know that is my favorite drink.

RACHEL

(Under her breathe)

You don't even know, how much I would kill for one of those drinks.

SAGE
