Hannah and Chris walk together in search of a restaurant at 7'o clock in the night.

Chris looks at Hannah who is looking at the moving vehicles.

Hannah what about this? Asks Chris

*A bit distracted Hannah didn't hear Chris.*

Hannah? Says Chris softly placing his hand on her shoulder.

* Hannah tilts her head to the left, sees Chris looking at her as if he was looking for an answer *
What happened?- Hannah

"I asked about this restaurant, What about this? I mean yes, I'll be the luckiest to walk with you for 10 more miles even without talking anything but, I'm feeling hungry" - Chris points his finger towards a restaurant. Have you been here before??

"I'm sorry! No, I don't remember coming here before"- Hannah

"Perfect then, come on let's try it"- says Chris happily. 

Both walk into the restaurant and take a table near the entrance. Hannah is seated in a way she faces the road and see what's happening outside. Chris is seated in front of Hannah and he opens the menu excitingly. Both of them order burgers. Chris who happened to be looking at his phone lifts his head and looks at Hannah.

"I'm flattered by the way you are looking at me, Hannah. But, you know, we can talk too", giggles Chris.

"I'm-not--, why are you here Chris? "Asks Hannah seriously.

'Ouch that hurts. I'm here for a case for which I need your assistance.' says Chris.

"A case mmmm, right.." - Hannah

"Did I just disappoint you with my response?" Smirks Chris.

Ignoring it, "So your case, what is it? Asks Hannah

"Before that, I want to know what was that "mmm right" is about," smiles Chris.

"Trust me. This is not the right time, tell me about the case"- Hannah

"Mmm I'll wait... it's a confirmed homicide, committed in the New York city"- Chris

" But you are not from New York, so who's from here?  victim or the suspect? -Hannah

"The victim", says Chris.

"Who is the victim, what's the story" asks Hannah.

"It's-- I think we can talk about this tomorrow, we are here to have dinner and look! our food is on its way to our table" nervously says Chris and Hannah smiles.

*Both of them start having their dinner. Just then, a message pops up on Hannah's mobile. She opens it and looks at the message coming from an unknown number* 

"I loved you."

*Looking at the message, Hannah halts for a minute, starts taking short breaths repeatedly as if she is choking. Just then, she starts losing her memory and forgets where she is. She looks around,  she could see the vehicles moving on the road while unable to hear people properly. Chris looks at Hannah and puts his hands forward to hold Hannah and talks to her. As she didn't respond, he slowly pats her on the cheeks to grab her attention and cool her down. Fortunately, Hannah regains control within  a minute.

Everyone in the restaurant including Chris is staring at Hannah. Looking around, she soon realizes what has happened and gets up from her seat, takes her coat and moves out of the restaurant. She takes a deep breath and takes a walk to her home hurried.*

"Hannah!, Wait !!! I'm coming" - Chris

*Hannah turns around and looks at Chris running towards her.*

" What was that Hannah, are you okay?!!" Chris

" Let's - let me just go Chris, leave me alone for some time" says Hannah.

"I have no home in NY Hannah! let me come with you!" Says Chris

*Hannah ignores and moves towards her home.*

"I'll be sitting right here Hannah!!!!!, The whole night!! " Shouts Chris.

*Hannah soon reaches her home and lies on her bed and looks at the fan moving, feels relaxed.*

Thinking "What was that message, it can't be him, how dare he?" Hannah falls asleep slowly looking at the fan. 

*Soon she wakes up at a bird cooing outside her window, looks at the clock, it's 11 in the night.*

'Oh god! Chris.' *she got up from her bed, leaves her apartment in a hurry and reaches Chris who's sitting at the restaurant and attending a call.*

Ah! Hannah! Nice meeting you. You are here at the right time! If you are fine now, we have a suspect to visit. Says Chris.

Now? Uh- yea- let's go -Hannah

A 2 minute walk to the precinct, and we will get my car says Hannah.

*Chris nods and walks with Hannah.* 

"Are you mad at me?" asks Hannah 

"I was worried, we need to talk" -Chris

Hannah nods and both leave to the suspect's house.
