[glow=Black,2,300]~ Scene 1 Opens ~[/glow]

It's the dead of night; nothing can be heard except the light splash of rain hitting the floor. A splash from a puddle is heard as you see a foot run through it. Running down the street is a masked man holding what looks like a bag of some sort. Seemingly chasing him is another man dressed in a formal suit. The chase continues down the road until it turns into a small side street and continues along the path. As they turn into a small alley the man in the mask stops suddenly and turns on the other man who also stops. Both men are panting heavily as the man in the suit begins to speak.

~ Man ~
What the hell are you doing? Give me the god damn bag back now and I will let you walk away no questions asked

The man in the suit steps forward toward the mask man who hesitantly whips out a gun from under his coat. He points it at the man in the suit who instantly raises his arms. Behind all the commotion at the entrance to the alley way a woman is seen walking past. She stares down at the alley and sees the man in the suit pleading with the gunman. The man in the suit steps in closer again and as he does a loud bang rings through the air. He slowly falls to the floor as the masked man looks down at him; he pockets the gun once more and runs off up the alley not seeing the woman until right up close to her.

He tries to run past her but she grabs the bag he is holding and also manages to get a hand on the mask revealing the man’s face. He turns back and grabs the woman by the throat and breaths heavily into her face.

~ Thief ~
You listen to me you little bitch. If you EVER say anything to anyone, I will have you killed, I know people that will hurt you and not think twice, do you hear me...

The woman quickly nods her head and the man lets go as the sound of sirens drawing closer are heard. He runs out of the ally and down the narrow street where he disappears out of site. The woman crawls over to the man who hasn’t moved an inch since the incident. She turns him over and he lies motionless on the ground. The woman looks at the stone cold man and begins to sob slightly.

The police quickly arrive on the scene and pull there weapons out on the woman.

~ Police ~
Hold it right there, don't move, get onto your face slowly with your hands out in frontof you where we can see them

The woman quickly obliges and the police rush over to her and the dead man calling for medical support as they do. They quickly arrive to the two people and they split into two groups, half attend to the man and the rest grab the woman, place her in hand cuffs and place her in the back of the police car. The scene begins to fade to black as the woman’s face is looking out of the window at the police trying to revive the already dead man.

[glow=Black,2,300]~ Scene 2 Opens ~[/glow]

The scene re-opens on a stone white room, all that’s in it is a table with a tape player on and four chairs, A mirror fills one of the walls. Sitting in one of the chairs is the woman from the previous scene; she is wearing a plain white all over, her clothes obviously taken for forensic use by the police. Sitting opposite her are one of the officers from the previous scene and another female officer who has joined him. The female officer reaches over and pushes play on the tape player and it makes a soft fuzzy sound as it spins around.

~ P.C. Bedlom ~
Interview commencing at 12:26am on Sunday the 13th May 2007, I am P.C. Beldom and my colleague with me is P.C. Brooks, we are interviewing a young lady on account of an incident that took place earlier in the night in an alley way just off Shore Street. I have informed the witness that she may have a solicitor but she has declined the offer.

The male officer, P.C. Brooks, leans forward slightly and stares the woman directly in the face before speaking.

~ P.C. Brooks ~
First of all for the benefit of the tape could you please state your full name

The young woman sits in silence for a second, her make up running down her face from the tears dropping from her wide eyes. She sniffles slightly before answering the police officer.

~ Becs ~
Rebecca Marie Adams

The two officers nod their heads to each other and P.C. Brooks turns back to Becs and leans forward once again, not changing his expression in the slightest.

~ P.C. Brooks ~
Now from what I've been told I understand you got a good look of the thief then, can you tell me, in as much detail as possible, what he looked like?

Becs still sobbing, gathers herself for a second before rubbing her nose with a tissue she has in her hands. She then looks back towards the two police officers and begins to speak.

~ Becs ~
Well, he had...blonde kind of spiky hair, it was short, he had really intense looking eyes, and a large nose...I'm sorry but that is all I can remember, but can you promise me that this man will not know I have said anything, he said he would do terrible things to me if I said anything

~ P.C. Bedlom ~
We can insure you that all information you give will be confidential and not heard by anyone other than us, unless the matter goes to court which it more than likely will, in that case you will not be asked to attend but you will be placed on a witness protection programme

The camera pans to Becs who has broken down into tears and is trying to wipe up the make-up that is running down her face.

~ Becs ~
No I can't go on one of them, I'm needed heavily in my job, can I not change my name and be done with it?

~ P.C. Brooks ~
Well that is a risk you will have to be willing to take if you want that to happen. But for now can you explain what happened tonight?

The camera rises above their heads and they can be heard talking to each other although what they are saying can't be made out. The camera stays like this for a few seconds until fading to black.

[glow=Black,2,300]~ Scene 3 Opens ~[/glow]

The police station's reception is packed full of people. Their are police around along with civilians sitting down on a row of chairs. One of the civilians sitting down is "The New Era Icon" David Calaz, he looks worried, scared and depressed. He is obviously waiting for Becs to come out from her interview. Just then the door leading to the interview room opens and out steps Becs who flies into the awaiting arms of Calaz.

~ P.C. Brooks ~
Thank you for your help Miss Adams, but from now on you must go by your new Alias, we will have all your new documents delivered to you personally by myself. But for now you are free to go

Becs holds tight to Calaz as they walk through the front doors of the police station and out to Calaz's car, as they both step into the car and shut the doors behind them Calaz turns to Becs and holds her hand tightly.

~ “The New Era Icon” David Calaz ~
I'm not going to ask you what happened now because you have probably had enough of talking about it, I just want to know what all this new alias is about?

Becs still crying heavily turns looks up at Calaz and begins to wipe away her tears once again. She takes in a deep breath and begins to explain the situation.

~ Jaime ~
Well from now on I have to be called Jaime Reed, I have been placed on a witness protection programme so that the guy who did this can't find me buy my name, I asked that I didn't have to move so i could stay with you and help you along your way, I know you would do the same, but from now on when we are in public you must refer to me as Jaime

~ “The New Era Icon” David Calaz ~
Well, it will definitely take some getting used to but I'm sure I will manage, and don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you, your safe with me, because... I love you

Jaime stares at Calaz with a twinkle in her eye, finally a smile breaks out across her face and she embraces Calaz's hand.

~ Jaime ~
I love you too, so lets get home and get to sleep, this day has really taken it out of me

The two lean across and share a kiss, Calaz then pulls off and begins the drive home as the scene fades to black.
