After hours. | TheAisles
"What do you want from us?"
[ Weis coughs out trying to
keep his cool while Larrie &
Tiesun sit on either side. He
can feel them both shaking
as they stare at the wall. ]
"You! Check out girl. Get the
cash from the register."
[ She stands & turns as the
man follows her to self check.
Gun firmly placed in Tiesun's
back. They walk on.
Meanwhile, in his back office. ]
SKI: What is taking Weis so long
with those apps?
Let me see.
[ He shakes his computer awake
& brings up the security camera.
Stunned to ice, he immediately finds
the robber & Tiesun being sat
back down. ]
[ Ski grabs his phone. Tapping his
fingers back to life, he nervously
starts to dial. ]
9-1-1
[ Back up front. ]
"Just stand there and shut up. I'll
be gone before you know it."
[ He keeps the gun aimed at them
until he is safely in his car. License
plate covered, he zooms passed
the front and out of the lot. ]
Same time. | The Simon's
by-side recliners. Drinking beer,
with the television on in the
background. ]
MARK: This is the longest you've
been single since I've known
you.
ACE: Dude I'm not single.
MARK: Oh excuse me. Being
someone's occasional office
hookup has to count for some-
thing. My bad.
[ He states, riling him a little. ]
ACE: Hey. She actually called
me the other day.
MARK: Really, for conversation?
[ Ace takes the last drink of his
bottle & heads for the kitchen. ]
ACE: Naw. Just to tell me not
to meet her in the morning.
Your phones going off.
[ Mark gets up. Taking it from
the table. ]
"We have to get to TA."
ACE: What's going on?
MARK: We we're robbed!
ACE: Is everyone okay?
MARK: I'm not sure yet. I just
got an ER text from Ski!
I'll wake up Chais. He can
drive us there.
All clear. | TheAisles
[ Outside is littered with cop cars &
entrances being blocked off. Inside,
the three witness are being questioned
one-by-one.
Ski stands off to the side. Larrie walks
up to him. ]
SKI: I'm so glad you guys are alright.
[ Larrie looks at him & they hug
onto each other. ]
LARRIE: He was just desperate. That
was all about the money.
SKI: I know. But it doesn't make it
any less frightening. I hope they
catch this guy fast.
[ Tiesun comes over. ]
SKI: Are you okay?
TIESUN: Yeah. Thanks.
[ She smiles. Mark comes in &
Ski meets him at the door.
Larrie is staring at Tiesun. ]
TIESUN: What?
LARRIE: Is there something
else you're not saying?
TIESUN: It was his voice. I heard
it before.
LARRIE: Are you sure?
TIESUN: Yes! I just can't remember
when.
LARRIE: Well think. You could be
stopping this from happening
all over again.
Downtown MS. | All Hours Fitness.
[ Lorenzo is lifting weights, Pierre is
spotting him while Charles sits on
the bench across from them. ]
LORENZO: You're hair is so long now
I can barely see that beautiful face.
[ He smirks. Easily repping and placing
the bar down. ]
LORENZO: Ah. I'm getting stronger
and stronger.
[ He boast & Charles rolls his eyes. ]
PIERRE: Can you believe I wanted
to spend my night off with this
one?
CHARLES: Not anymore.
[ He leaves them for the treadmill. ]
LORENZO: So talk to me. How's the
business going?
PIERRE: Slowly but it's starting to
pick up. I have some bigger projects
starting this month so I'll be able to
get some more people on.
LORENZO: That's good. Remember that
day I attempted to substitute?
PIERRE: Yup. Stick to hair styling.
I didn't realize you and Charles were
so close.
LORENZO: I'm kind of keeping an eye
on him. For Maxx. Don't say a word.
PIERRE: Oh yeah? Well you're doing
a poor job buddy cuz he's gone.
[ He points out the window at Charles
empty parking spot. ]
Living room. | Stuu & Weis'
[ The door opens. Weis embraces
Stuu & sees Mila.
Larrie & Tiesun come in. Sitting
down. ]
WEIS: What are you doing up
little girl? It's way past
your bed time.
STUU: Alright. Give him a kiss
and it's back to bed.
WEIS: I'll take her. Come on.
[ Stuu joins Tiesun & Larrie on
the couch. ]
STUU: I've been telling Ski
we need to have security
guards on that shift.
LARRIE: Yeah. We we're just
talking about that. He's
been working on it but you
know how upper management is.
[ Stuu looks at Tiesun. ]
STUU: You've been quiet. Are
you alright?
TIESUN: I know who it was.
LARRIE: You remembered?
[ She becomes sad & looks at Stuu. ]
Next Morning. | The Simon's
[ Ski walks outside on their back
patio. Bringing out a pitcher of
juice, he sits down to breakfast
with Mark. ]
SKI: Any word?
MARK: Yeah. We're looking into
the issue now. I demanded one
on every night shift.
SKI: Hopefully they listen. So
about the DM position, are you
thinking of taking it?
MARK: I thought about it but
no. I mean, especially not
now. With what just happened
I feel a responsibility.
Plus I love my employees and
being involved with Care.
SKI: I know you do.
So what's next?
MARK: Nothing. But me, you,
and this breakfast of champ-
ions.
[ They are interrupted by a
knock on the patio door.
It's Stuu. ]
STUU: Sorry to come over
so early.
We should talk.
