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.
