"Whatever. Just get it done. I'm not going to tell Peyton Arizona her character didn't make it in." The writer nods and walks back to their offices.

I look down at my ringing phone, continuing to walk, "Hey Pey, how's the swamp people."

She laughs, "They're good. How's my kingdom?"

"Surviving."

She sighs, "I might be here longer than a week."

"Ok. Take all the time you need, really." I put my papers on the long table in the writers room. "Do you want to do something? Write a scene, you do have John to help you like, live."

"Yeah, yeah. I'll do something, don't worry about me."

"Are you with him now?" Andy, Micheal and Sarah come filing in.

"Yeah, why?"

"Can I talk to him?"

"What? Do you want to give him the 'take care of her' talk?"

"Maybe. Just give him the phone Peyton."

"Ok ok, Bye-watch my kingdom," she say sharply.

"I promise," I laugh.

"Hello?" John answers the phone.

"Is she actually ok?" I sit down and lean back in the old office chair.

"Hold on." I hear shuffling on the other end. "Ok, sorry. I wanted to get out of there."

"That bad?" I laugh opening up the computer and putting the phone on speaker so I can set up.

"You don't even know. God. We've been here less than 24 hours and she she got shot by some crazy ex-boyfriend."

Andy slowly sits down, "Did he just say she got shot?"

"Like with a gun?" I ask the phone, concerned.

"With a gun. We're in the hospital right now. She got shot in the leg."

"Wait, seriously?"

"Yes, seriously. Look, the doctor just went in, I better go."

"O-ok. Will you let us know?"

"Yeah, bye." The line goes dead.

"Did she just-" Micheal leads off.

"Yeah." Sarah finishes.

"Oh shit." Andy says next.
