So anyway, we zoom in on Charlie and Duncan, pulling up into a La Quinta Inn parking lot in her pink and black Camero knock off the funny business fine fine okay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We see Charlie and Duncan pulling up into a motel parking lot, screeching to a halt, and getting out in a hurry. She is yelling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
CHARLIE: What the fuck was that? And why are you so calm? What is happening?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DUNCAN: [pulls out a Lucky Strike Red] Look, hon. Calm down, okay? We don’t know what is happening, and yes, that was frightening. But it’s always a good idea to calm down, right? [Lights his smoke]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CHARLIE: Calm down?! How can you be calm when people are running around shooting and the power is out and and [hits her vape hard, starts coughing blueberry clouds] *hack* *HACK*<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DUNCAN: Hon, it’s okay. [Puts arm around Charlie] I get it, it’s scary. Let’s finish a smoke and we can head up and see if there’s anything on the telly? Okay?…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Duncan’s phone rings. It’s a sax playing the opening bars to L.A. Law, which is lost on most of the audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
DUNCAN: Haylo. … Uh.. well, yeah, I was able to watch some of it, a sports blues bar. Yeah, it’s chaos. What do you know about it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A dark, well-lit room. Admiral Akbar, whose name is a sneaky Star Wars reference, holds an old rotary phone in his hand, with a long red curly cord. He looks pretty serious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
AKBAR: We’ll be extracting you soon, but need you to keep observing. The girl you are with is 22, name’s Charlie Becket, and her father is ex-Navy Seals. She legit has no idea what is going on, nor does he, but we’ll be making sure anyone with a need to know is informed before phase 2 begins, sometime in the coming weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
DUNCAN: Right, well that’s a lot to think about. I think we should take shelter and see what is on the news. Might need a drink or two. Pretty rattled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
AKBAR: I don’t … Oh. Look, Duncan. This is important. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT blow your cover, no matter what happens. The President suspects something, but until we are in the blue and clear, it’s important to maintain appearances. Be careful. Out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Duncan puts his phone back in his pocket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
DUNCAN: Let’s get a room and maybe some room service. How’s that sound?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CHARLIE: [pauses] I’m.. You’re not a cop, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DUNCAN: [laughs] Ha! Charlie, I don’t care if you’re smoking the weed, just want to make sure you stay out of real trouble. Okay?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Charlie looks at him, looks around, and nods as they walk into the lobby. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
