Connection Pt. 02

Selina | Barry | Apartment

-Who was it?

-A college student. Girl was on her way home from library. It was a bullet through head.

-(Sighs)...

-I'm not sure about this but..there's a catch.

-...

-...Selina?

-...These streets..are not even safe for some innocent kid...(sighs)sorry, what was it?

-They're saying the girl is the daughter of our LSD guy; the banker who jumped from the roof.

-...I didn't see that.

-...That's all. Take care Selina.

-She probably couldn't see nor hear the gunshot, right Jerry?

-I want to believe that..(call cuts).

Selina | Shen | Apartment

-Heyy Sel..sorry I wake you up.

-(Yawns)when did you get here? And why are you..

-Not too long ago.

-It's pretty late alrea- wait what happened??

-Nothing.

-Don't 'nothing' me. You have got scratches all over your hands..arms.

-I got hit.

-Great! What about your legs? Must be bad..

-I'm okay, really.

-Let me be the judge of that. Now sit here. I am gonna bring a towel and some medications.

.

.

-Aagh! (Grunts)...

-C'mon little girl..you're doing good. I am almost done.

-...

-You've got surprisingly wide back Shen; never noticed.

-..I was there Selina. Where the girl was shot.

-What!?

-You've heard the news.

-I know. But..don't tell me..

-...I saw the guy, he saw me.

-...

-His face was covered.

-You chased after him?

-Yeah...but rather than firing a single shot he stopped running at one point.

-And your only sensible resort was to fight him...bare handed?

-...He was good Selina. Real good. I don't think even you could stand a chance against him.

-Goddamn it Shen! He could've killed you there Shen!!

-...

-You're not going outside; not without me.

-That's just exaggerating things!

-It may be so but that's how it's gonna be...until I say otherwise.

-Tche!

-You should've understood that you were just some civilian against him the moment you were discovered. There was no gun with you to even defend yourself.

-But I..

-What were you thinking??

-...

-...

-...Sel?

-We are doing this, together.

-I am sorry.

-For now go to bed. I'll be there after I clean up this mess.

-...

-Here hang on to me..

-Murder suspect playing around with evidence. Shen?

-Yeah?

-Let's visit the bar tomorrow.
