SCENE 1: THE STREET

[AMBIENCE: City street, distant traffic, wind]

NARRATOR
The city never sleeps. But tonight, it should have.

[BEAT]

ALICE (quietly)
I shouldn't be here.

BOB (behind her)
And yet, here you are.

[SFX: Footsteps on wet pavement]

ALICE
How long have you been following me?

BOB (calm)
Long enough to know you found the documents.

[BEAT — 2 SECONDS]

ALICE
I don't know what you're talking about.

BOB
We both know that's not true.

[SFX: Car horn, distant]

CHARLIE (interrupting)
Hey — is everything all right over there?

[BEAT]

BOB (forced smile)
Just old friends catching up.

SCENE 2: THE ALLEY

[AMBIENCE: Narrow alley, dripping water, distant music]

NARRATOR
Alice ran. She didn't look back.

[SFX: Running footsteps, splashing]

ALICE (breathless, to herself)
I need to get to the bridge. I need to warn them.

[BEAT — 3 SECONDS]

NARRATOR
The bridge was three blocks away. Three very long blocks.

[MUSIC: Tense underscore, building]

[BEAT]

CHARLIE (stepping out of shadow)
I was hoping I'd find you first.

ALICE
Charlie? What are you doing here?

CHARLIE (serious)
Keeping you alive. Come with me.
