Mr Jones completed his task and finds the twisted trees

He doesn't see her

He walks around the tree

No sign of her

A loud thud sound comes from behind him

He spins around

Did you just drop out of the damn tree

Catching her breath

Yeah

I climbed up to break a branch

There should be a wide enough gap in the surveillance system's view over here

All I had to do was climb up

Shimmy out on a branch and reach over to the next tree to break a branch and create a bigger blind spot

So now I have this big area and all of these rooms in a blind spot

Thomas raises his eyebrow

Yeah I guess that's good

So our room is that one over there

Oh shit she says

That's just out of range

She starts walking towards the room

Wait! The window is still in the blind spot but just barely

I'll just have to climb in and out this way

You go in and open it for me

Thomas did as he was told

Once they were both inside he corners her

Alright bitch you're going to tell me what's going on right now

I'm not stupid

You just happen to know all this shit

Who even thinks like this?!

You're lost looking for a bathroom

then suddenly you have an answer to my problems

A dirty little vagabond girl making her way across the states without a care in the world

who just happens to have cash to throw around on any little thing that pops into your head

I'm supposed to believe all this is coincidence?

You waited until I told you my story

So I'm going to ask you

Who do you work for?

Just calm down

She's trying not to show that she thinks she made a mistake

No I will not

Not until I get answers

I-I can't tell you

You're going to tell me!

He pulls out a knife

Ok ok please stop

It's not -

It's not what you think

I don't have all the answers

Then tell me what you do know

He points the knife at her

I-I think like this because I've been traveling

I don't have an ID

I have nothing

I sold my car and that's why I have cash

It's really only a few thousand dollars

I have a job opportunity and I thought I could bring you on with me

I was going to go to my meeting and give you a recommendation

If it didn't work you still have the room for a week

You-you're struggling just like me

We can all use a hand

Nah bitch I ain't buying it

He gets closer to her

No seriously

I think like I do because I've been where you are

Just-just not as bad

What do you mean?

He puts the knife down a little

I came from silicon valley

I was set up by a coworker to look like I was stealing

But they were

They fired me

It damaged my entire reputation

I was left with nothing

so I lived out of my car and eventually I had to start stealing food

I got caught

My old name was attached to - to a lot of bullshit

So I changed who I was

And I kept changing

...

I could relate to you

He puts the knife away

Ok

I didn't trust you but I wanted answers

I thought you could be working for my old employer

Hell you probably did and just didn't know it

She relaxes her shoulders

You still don't believe me do you

Not a chance

But you might just be my only chance

...

I'll take the couch while you're here

Thanks she says

Thomas laughs

You thanking me

He shakes his head

If you'll excuse me

I'd like a hot shower

Maybe a bubble bath

I've been living off of shelter showers and wet wipes

So --

Go right ahead

She smiles

I need to sort through some paperwork
