INT. THE EVADER - ALEXIS' OFFICE - DAY

Sam opens Alexis' office door carrying a laptop bag. She is surprised to see that Alexis and Diane are pouring over files that cover a small desk in the corner.

SAM

Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.

Alexis looks up from the files, clearly overwhelmed.

ALEXIS

It's fine sweetheart, come in.

SAM

It can wait. I'll  come back.

Diane picks up her cellphone and walks over to her purse on a small couch.

DIANE

No no, my dear. This visit couldn't come at a better time.

Diane looks at Alexis as she packs up her briefcase.

DIANE

You need a break.

Sam approaches the table as Diane whispers to her.

DIANE

Watch her, please.

Sam nods. Diane leaves the office.

ALEXIS

She want you to make sure I don't drink.

SAM

Should I be concerned?

ALEXIS

I don't know.

SAM

Do you want me to call your sponsor?

ALEXIS

I'm not at that point. Yet.

SAM

Yet? Ok, that's not good.

Alexis gestures to the files on the table.

ALEXIS

It's all here. My whole career as a lawyer. Every case I've worked on.

SAM

Wow. So I'm guessing not all good memories?

ALEXIS

Some good, some bad. I have to prepare to be scrutinized over every decision I ever made.

SAM

I think it will be ok, mom. You'll prepare and be ready for anything.

Alexis gives her a weak smile.

SAM

Actually, this is sort of why I'm here. I need your expertise.

ALEXIS

You know I don't have my license yet.

SAM

But you can still consult. I'll even pay you for your services.
