Switchin Lanes (Part 2)

( Starring Pierre / Chais )

Early afternoon, poolside at Ryehl's.

[ Various TA members are scattered

around while Tila, Sascha, Madeline,

& Lorenzo are sipping drinks in the

water. ]

"This was a nice surprise."

[ Lorenzo smiles, placing his glass

down nicely into his inflatable. ]

TILA: See I told you I wasn't lying.

This house, my man. The stories

are all real.

SASCHA: Very much.

[ She states, looking around at

the extensive backyard scenery. ]

LORENZO: They check out but I'd

still like to know more about Ryehl.

MADELINE: Yeah. Where did he run

off to?

TILA: He should be back soon.

  

Probably talking with one of

his work friends.

Inside the house.

[ Ryehl is staring at the mirror in

the long entrance hallway when

the front doorbell rings.

Startled, he jumps to answer it. ]

"Hey. Where's your suit?"

[ Pierre saunters inside. ]

"My bad.  Just came from a

big meeting downtown."

[ He follows Ryehl into a side

room. ]

RYEHL: You can change in here.

[ Walking out slowly, he leaves

the door slightly cracked.

Continuing to watch as Pierre

stands with his back to him

undressing to nothing. ]

Basement, the Simon house.

[ Chais is sitting on the couch

when a male enters the room

from a side door. ]

"You're late."

[ Chais starts in on him. ]

CHAIS: I'm trying to run a legit

operation here.  I can't have

motherfuckers thinking they

can just show up at any

[ He can barely get through his

words without bursting into

laughter. ]

FRIEND1: Yeah, yeah okay. I saw

your girl on the way in and

she didn't look to thrilled

with you.

I'm guessing that has some-

thing to do with this.

[ Chais exchanges a bag for his

friends cash. ]

CHAIS: Yeah, well I'm making

bank so she'll have to get over

it.  I may never have to fix a

car again.

FRIEND1: Cool.  Can I get a

water or something?

CHAIS: You don't wanna go

upstairs right now remember.

My dads are hosting a bare

butt bro day.

FRIEND1: You're fucking with

me.  That's a real thing?  I

gotta see this.

Meanwhile, upstairs in the kitchen.

[ A stitch free Ski is leaning up against

the counter, beer in hand & talking

to Caleb (who is equally stitch free)

on an island stool. ]

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

CALEB: It's nothing.

SKI: Come on. You're not your

normal, chaotic, hyped self.

Don't tell me you've calmed down

now that you're in a "serious

relationship".

[ He teases & Caleb looks down.]

SKI: Oh no.  What happened?

CALEB: Last night did. I may have
screwed up already.

[ He grabs Ski's beer, finishing the

last few swigs before he can grab

it back from him. 

Just in time, Mark comes in from

around the corner. ]


Back at Riehl's, outside.

[ Tiesun approaches Weis & Stuu
lounging in a chair together with
Larrie standing up in front of them
holding a drink. ]

"Not feeling the BBBD today?"

[ She laughs, sitting by the couple. ]

TIESUN: And you.

[ She gets cold pointing at Larrie. ]

TIESUN: I'm surprised you're here
at a social event the way you've
been freezing everyone out lately.
LARRIE: I'm not freezing anyone
out.  I've just been busy.

STUU: Busy doing what?

[ Stuu questions behind his shades. ]

LARRIE: Trying to get a life.

[ He shoots back. ]

LARRIE: Its gets tiring being in 
the middle of everyone else's.

TIESUN: Oh yeah?

[ Tiesun stands & playfully pushes
her friend into the pool.  

He comes up fast, ripping off his
open dress shirt. ]

LARRIE: Yes.  And speaking of
I have to get going because
I have a date tonight.

[ Picking up his bag from the ground
he leaves them for inside the 
house. ]


Much later, inside.

[ Ryehl, Tila, Pierre, Sascha, Madeline
& Lorenzo are lounging in the living
room, still drinking.

Everyone else is talking while Pierre
engages Lorenzo in a shirtless man
tussle on the floor. ]


[ Ryehl watches intrigued downing
some Tequila. ]

PIERRE: I'm pinning your ass down
this time.  I've been lifting extra
just for this occasion.

[ He eyes Lorenzo hard as they stand
facing each other ready to pounce. ]

LORENZO: That's never happened.

[ He grabs Pierre and lifts him up,
tossing him on the ground but
he gets right back up.

Going for Lorenzo legs with a tight
grip he able to finally get him
down. ]

TILA: Hey. Why don't you guys
chill?  We don't want anything
to get broken in here.

[ They stop & join the others. ]

RYEHL: Actually I have a much
better idea.

[ He looks at Tila. ]

RYEHL: Why don't we take this
action into the bedroom?

Me and Tila are open.

[ Pierre looks up surprised
& the room goes silent. ]

MADELINE: Well, we're not.

In fact. We should probably
head out.  

[ Madeline & Lorenzo leave.  Pierre
& Sascha follow Riehl & Tila into 
their bedroom. ]


Back at the Simon's.

[ Chais is in the basement living
room counting his earnings for 
the day when Jenni walks in. ]

CHAIS: Hey babe. How was work?

JENNI: Long.  The kids were extra
rowdy today it seems.

How was your day?

CHAIS: Great. I've already made
back the money I've spent on green
and still have enough to sell.

I should be making a decent
profit for my first time.
JENNI: That's good I guess.  I'm
just worried about your dads.
CHAIS: Don't be.  They will not
find out. I'm being extremely
careful.

JENNI: I hope so. I wish you
hadn't of given up so fast with
the car repairs.

You could've made something
out of that.

CHAIS: I still can.  But right now
we need money.  Especially if
we're ever going to get out of
the basement.

You'll see.  It will all be worth
it when we're out of here.

Trust me.

[ He smiles & they start to kiss.

Jenni takes his hand & leads
him into their back room. ]


Ryehl & Tila's bedroom.

[ Ryehl is sitting on the bed in
boxer briefs while Tila is kissing
him all over in her bathing
suit. 

Pierre & Sascha are similarly 
dressed but standing up kissing
also while Ryehl watches.

He takes out his phone. Pointing
it at them & the light comes on. ]


RYEHL: Do you guys mind?

PIERRE: No its cool. I've always
wanted to watch myself.

[ Sascha shakes her head
confirming.  Ryehl moves
his attention over to Tila.

He slowly removes her top
with his teeth.  She stands 
taking off the bottoms while
he wriggles out of his. ]


[ Pierre & Sascha come closer
to them still kissing & touching
each other all over. He undresses
her.

Pierre feels a hand on his hip
as his shorts are soon falling
to the ground. Ryehl gives him
a firm slap to the ass. 

RYEHL: Nice!

[ He states zooming in on them &
then focusing on him and Tila.  

Soon both couples are enthralled
in each other.  Hands and body
parts spread everywhere on the
bed but still keeping with their
partners until Ryehl break the ice
even further. 

Pushing Pierre down, he climbs
on top of him and aggressively
plants one on his lips. ]

RYEHL: Ever done that before?

[ Pierre goes silent. Gives him
a quick harsh look & goes 
back to Sascha. ]

At The Start ( Part 2 )

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

[ Ace & Mark are settled in side-

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've 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.
