ACT 1 SCENE 11

-In an office. Kayla and Chelsie

Kayla: If you think of anything you want to ask him, run it by me and I’ll let you ask.

Chelsie: Really? I get to be a part of this interview?

Kayla: Only if you think of something you want to ask.

Chelsie: I’ll do my best!

- George enters looking very professional

George: Good afternoon ladies. What can I help you with?

Kayla: Actually, we’re investigating a murder. *Flashes her badge* I was hoping you could answer a few questions.

George: Anything for a lady as lovely as yourself.

Kayla: Cut the crap.

Geroge: My apologies. Shall we proceed? It’s my son’s birthday and I would like to get home on time tonight.

Kayla: What is it, exactly, that you do here?

George: I oversee the prescription writing and fill bottles of pills.

Kayla: Interesting. Chelsie, make a note of this.

Chelsie: Yes, boss.

George: Your assistant is adorable. Any idea where I can find one like her?

Kayla: She’s not my assistant, she’s my partner.

George: interesting.

Kayla: Next question. Do you have any knowledge of what kind of pills can be dissolved into a drink and then kill someone?

George: Of course. That is half of my job. I have to make sure that the bottles are filled appropriately.

Chelsie: Question!

Kayla: Granted.

Chelsie: The bottle we found wasn’t pills, it was some kind of powder. Why is he is suspect if he works with pills?

Kayla: Good question. Sir?

George: Depending on the drug, it might be easier to get it into one's blood stream by grinding the pill into a powder and putting it into a drink.

Kayla: There you go.

Chelsie: Thank you.

Kayla: Now, Sir, I’m going to need you to think hard about this.

George: I hardly think it will be that difficult.

Kayla: Is there any way that someone could take a bunch of medications and create an extremely dangerous poison called Arsenic?

George: I...I don’t believe so. I don’t believe that there is a way. No.

Kayla: Thank you for your time.

-Kayla and Chelsie stand to leave

Chelsie: *To Kayla* What? That is it?

Kayla: Yup.

Chelsie: You didn’t ask the questions, though.

Kayla: Which questions?

Chelsie: You know, “Where were you on this night between the hours of this and this” and “Is there anyone that can prove that?”

Kayla: And you told me you read the case file.

Chelsie: *Embarressed* I may have skimmed a little towards the end.

Kayla: It was all there. I didn’t need to.

Chelsie: But I still don’t get it. Why are we done?

Kayla: Because he said that there was no way for a combination of pills could become Arsenic. He’s no longer a suspect.

Chelsie: Is it okay for me to still suspect him?

Kayla: Sure. Why not.
