Lynn
Communication.
Drake
Drake
What do you mean?
Lynn
Lynn
That's the most important thing in a relationship.
Lynn
Lynn
Communication.
Drake
Drake
I'm not the one who lives their life as an undercover agent.
Lynn
Lynn
You know that I'm taking a break from all of that.
Drake
Drake
And you know I agreed with your decision. It was the right thing to do.
Drake
Drake
That last mission almost killed you.
Lynn
Lynn
Oh for the love of God —
Lynn
Lynn
The bullet grazed me.
Drake
Drake
You got lucky.
Lynn
Lynn
I can’t sit behind the desk forever, you know.
Lynn
Lynn
I miss the rush of undercover work.
Drake
Drake
I don’t.
Lynn
Lynn
That’s because you’ve been out of the field for so long.
Lynn
Lynn
You forgot what it was like.
Lynn
Lynn
We should request to do a mission together.
Drake
Drake
No.
Lynn
Lynn
You have to admit — we’d make a good team.
Drake
Drake
I said no.
Lynn
Lynn
Come on, Drake.
Lynn
Lynn
Diana’s death wasn’t your fault.
Drake
Drake
My ex-wife died so that I could live.
Drake
Drake
How is that NOT my fault?
Lynn
Lynn
She made her choice.
Drake
Drake
Stop changing the subject.
Drake
Drake
Please — don’t go back into the field.
Drake
Drake
It’s too dangerous.
Lynn
Lynn
Whatever.
Lynn
Lynn
Listen, have you heard anything about a new drug on the rise in Los Angeles?
Drake
Drake
Why?
Lynn
Lynn
I’m having problems tracking down intel for a case file.
Lynn
Lynn
I figured since you were out in L.A. for your training session…
Lynn
Lynn
You might have heard something.
Drake
Drake
What do you need to know?
Lynn
Lynn
Idk. It’s called rapture. It’s an opiate that’s stronger than heroin.
Lynn
Lynn
When people take it, they go into in a zombie-like state for days.
Lynn
Lynn
Their body function just…slows until their heart stops.
Lynn
Lynn
It’s already killed thousands of people.
Drake
Drake
Sounds like you already know a lot.
Lynn
Lynn
I do, but I’m still missing something.
Lynn
Lynn
I have no idea how it’s getting into L.A.
Lynn
Lynn
Any chance you heard something?
Drake
Drake
Lynn, they have me in the classroom all day, learning about terrorist cells.
Drake
Drake
It’s as boring as hell, and I’m too tired to do more than go back to my room at night.
Lynn
Lynn
So you haven’t heard anything?
Lynn
Lynn
Not even a rumor or two?
Drake
Drake
I just know that we have multiple agents undercover, trying to find answers.
Drake
Drake
Considering the current political climate, the higher ups want this shut down quickly.
Lynn
Lynn
Yeah, I know. I’m getting a lot of pressure too.
Lynn
Lynn
Speaking of which — I have a meeting on this case in five.
Drake
Drake
OK — talk to you later?
Lynn
Lynn
Yeah, tonight or tomorrow?
Drake
Drake
Tomorrow. I have no idea when they’ll let me out of tonight’s training session.
Lynn
Lynn
Lots of late nights, eh?
Drake
Drake
Yeah. Stay safe.
Lynn
Lynn
I always do.
Lynn pockets her phone and stares at the door in front of her.
The sign on the door reads ‘Interrogation Room.’
Stiffening her jaw, she pushes open the door with a burst of energy.
Lynn
Lynn
Any progress?
Several tough-looking gang members step back, revealing a roughed-up guy in a chair.
Foxy
Foxy
Nah, Blade won’t talk.
Lynn
Lynn
Perhaps you weren’t tough enough.
Foxy
Foxy
You think you can do better?
Lynn
Lynn
I do.
Foxy
Foxy
Care to make a wager?
Lynn
Lynn
What do you want?
Foxy
Foxy
Your car.
Lynn
Lynn
My Cadillac? That was a gift.
Foxy snorts.
Even though Lynn is undercover in Foxy’s gang, she can’t help but like her.
Foxy
Foxy
Gift, my ass. You took it from that dealer.
Lynn
Lynn
He owed me money.
Foxy
Foxy
He owed US money.
Lynn
Lynn
Fine. You’ll get the car. But if I break him, I get that ring.
Foxy holds up her hand.
Foxy
Foxy
My fox ring?
Lynn
Lynn
Yup. That bling would sure look nice on my finger.
Foxy
Foxy
You’re on.
Foxy waves toward the guy in the chair.
Foxy
Foxy
Be my guest.
Lynn turns to the man in the chair and cracks her knuckles.
He’s so beaten that he is barely conscious.
Lynn pulls back her fist to throw a right hook.
Blade
Blade
Wait.
Lynn
Lynn
You gonna tell us your supplier?
The man nods.
Foxy
Foxy
Damn. I thought he’d at least put up a fight.
Lynn lowers her arm and glowers at the man.
Lynn
Lynn
Who is it?
Exhausted, the man’s bloody chin hits his chest.
A red stain seeps into his shirt.
Lynn grabs his hair and pulls up hard, lifting his head.
Lynn
Lynn
Who’s supplying you with rapture?
Blade
Blade
Don’t…know his name.
Foxy
Foxy
Shit. That’s all he’s been saying.
Lynn
Lynn
Wait, he’s trying to say more.
Blade
Blade
Don’t know his name, but…
Blade
Blade
Can show you.
Lynn lets go of his hair.
Blade drops his head to his chest.
Foxy
Foxy
You owe me a car.
Lynn crosses her arms.
Lynn
Lynn
Maybe, maybe not.
Lynn
Lynn
Blade knows our reputation on the street.
Lynn
Lynn
He also knows what’s gonna happen to him if he doesn’t spill.
Foxy
Foxy
Yeah, well…we’re about to lose that reputation.
Foxy
Foxy
Especially if these new thugs keep dealing in our territory.
Blade
Blade
I won’t deal with them ‘gain.
Blade
Blade
Promise.
Foxy
Foxy
Shit. He ain’t gonna show us nothin’.
Foxy
Foxy
Kill him.
Blade
Blade
No.
Lynn pulls Blade’s hair back again.
He grunts in pain.
Lynn
Lynn
You hear that? My friend wants me to kill you.
Blade tries to protest, but he’s too weak to move.
Lynn
Lynn
She thinks you won’t tell us where you’re getting your rapture.
Blade
Blade
No.
Lynn
Lynn
But you’re in luck.
Lynn
Lynn
I love my car and don’t want to lose it just yet.
Lynn
Lynn
So I’m gonna give you twenty four hours to bring us to your supplier.
Blade’s eyes widen.
Lynn
Lynn
If you fail, you’re gonna make me lose my car.
Lynn
Lynn
And THAT will make me very angry.
Foxy smiles.
Foxy
Foxy
You definitely don’t want to see her when she’s angry.
Lynn drops Blade’s head and steps back.
Lynn
Lynn
Untie him.
Foxy
Foxy
The first thing I’m gonna do with your car is paint it pink.
Lynn grimaces.
Lynn
Lynn
It ain’t yours yet.
Foxy
Foxy
No, but it will be soon.
Lynn
Lynn
We’ll see about that.
Lynn points to Blade.
Lynn
Lynn
Twenty-four hours, Blade.
Lynn
Lynn
Twenty-four hours, or your ass is mine.
