Elgin's Enigma ✔

Part 28

INT. POLICE STATION–NIGHT

ROCH enters the office before throwing his weight onto the chair. His body relaxes and ISABEL watches him with curiosity. She continues to file documents back into the cabinets.

ROCH CONT'D: Maybe I can rest easier tonight, Isabel.

ISABEL: Oh? Did something good happen?

ROCH: Got Ambrose in arrest. Found some loiterers trying to push their void things on people. Suspect there's some drug exchange happening. We'll keep him here for the next little while.

ISABEL: Ah, so you got your big break tonight, hm?

ROCH: Yup. Streets should be safer now. I can take a break and not worry as much.

ISABEL: A break would be nice. Especially since Damon said to hold back on arrests.

ROCH: Maybe we should go out for once. A drink? A show at the theatre?

Isabel closes the cabinet and turns to face Roch.

ISABEL: Oh, why not? That sounds like a lovely evening.

CUT TO:

INT. GOAT MAN'S HOUSE–DAY

VANESSA, RANDI, MIN, JORDANIA, BELINDA, CONNER, LUCY, ERLE, GINA, DARCY, and NANCY all gather around the table to stare at the key.

VANESSA CONT'D: Ambrose gave me the key right as he was fleeing the shop.

RANDI: Why?

CONNER: He said she was a wandering soul so she had to find other people that wander.

ERLE: Is there other wandering souls?

LUCY: There are a lot of them for sure.

GINA: Team work? What would they have to do as a team though?

NANCY: To see through the fog?

MIN: That's stupid, it sounds more like it's to open the vaults in each place.

JORDANIA: Who else is a wandering soul?

BELINDA: I want to be the one to have the key...

DARCY: Well, you don't. Vanessa got it.

NANCY: Darcy, didn't you say you didn't switch marks at all too?

DARCY: Uh... yeah.

ERLE: Perfect. Darcy can help Vanessa open the vaults.

LUCY: Do you think we'll need more people?

JORDANIA: More help the better, right?

RANDI: Why the hell would we need multiple people to open vaults?

VANESSA: Maybe it's like a ritual of sorts...

GINA: Oh! Like we're in a cult?

RANDI: Don't say that.

BELINDA: Huh? Why can't she say that?

RANDI: She just can't.

CONNER: Maybe we all have magic powers that get unlocked with the power of friendship.
