CUT TO: LIBRARY
INT. LIBRARY - AFTERNOON
DRAY SHELVES BOOKS AND STOPS AS A MAN WITH A STICK APPROACHES HIM.
[Man#1]
Hey, if you give me two dollars I won't have to hit you with this stick.
[Dray]
Oh, I think you'll just have to hit me then.
[Man#1]
Nah, I won't hit you. You remind me of my nephew. I know that if you had it you would have given it to me. Can't hit somebody that reminds me of my nephew, no sir. Hey, look, imma be praying for you alright?
[Dray]
Oh, thanks.
[Man#1]
Okay, nephew. You have a good rest of the day.
THE MAN LEAVES THE FLOOR AND DRAY'S MANAGER WALKS OVER TO WHERE HE IS.
[Miranda]
What was his deal?
[Dray]
Homeless guy. He said that he was gonna hit me with his walking stick if I didn't give him two dollars. Then he called me his nephew and left.
[Miranda]
Geez, what is wrong with people?
[Dray]
Wish I knew.
MIRANDA HANDS DRAY A CUP OF COFFEE.
[Miranda]
I was feeling pretty tired and made a coffee run. I figured I'd just get everyone something. It's already got cream and sugar in it.
[Dray]
Cool. Thanks.
[Miranda]
No problem.
MIRANDA LEAVES AND DRAY CONTINUES SHELVING BOOKS. DRAY'S PHONE THEN BEGINS TO RING AND HE ANSWERS IT.
[Dray]
Hey, Toria.
[Toria]
(Over the phone)
Where are you?
[Dray]
At work.
[Toria]
(Over the phone)
I got your text. Meet me at the river market when you get off.
[Dray]
Right.
DRAY HANGS UP THE PHONE AND CONTINUES WORKING.
CUT TO: LATER, DOWNTOWN DISTRICT
EXT. RIVER MARKET - NIGHT
TORIA AND DRAY SIT AT A TABLE TOGETHER DRINKING COFFEE.
[Toria]
So, Celeste wasn't abducted.
[Dray]
No, she's been given powers and I'm not sure if it was the Red Man or someone else. The real issue is that she's looking to get back at Sampson. There hasn't been any kind of attack on him has there?
[Toria]
No, I'm sure that I would have been notified if something did happen.
[Dray]
