Victor Blackwood: steps out from the shadows Wh-what are you d-d-doing here? This is a private p-p-property.
narrows his eyes suspiciously Used to live here? Are you sure? This place is owned by my family, and I'm not aware of any previous tenants.
I show him an old contract
takes the contract from Chansa, scrutinizing it Hmm, this does appear to be a legitimate document. So, you were indeed a previous tenant.
throws the contract back at Chansa So, you're telling me that you were the last tenant? Why didn't you leave before?
I left for 20 years. I just got back
crosses his arms, his expression becoming even more stern You just got back? What makes you think you can come back here after all these years?
snorts Family? Don't make me laugh, Chansa. You disappeared without a trace, and now you expect me to believe you're family?
throws his hands up in frustration Technically, maybe! But practically, you're nothing to me!
pauses, his stern expression softening slightly Look, Chansa, I may not be warm and welcoming, but that doesn't mean I want you to suffer.
sighs heavily Fine, Chansa. If you need a place to stay for the time being, I suppose I can allow it.
Thanks. Oh, one of your neighbors saw me taking pictures of the scenery. Do you want to tell them I have permission to be here?
pauses, thinking it over Fine, I'll handle it. But don't think this means you're off the hook. You still have a lot to answer for, Chansa.
takes out his phone and dials a number Hello, this is Victor Blackwood. I need you to come to the mansion immediately.
hangs up the phone and turns to face Chansa It's done. Just stay here and don't wander off until I return. Understand?
paces back and forth, talking to himself Damn it, Chansa. What the hell is your motive for coming back here after all these years?
I told you already. I just got back.
runs a hand through his hair in frustration I know you told me that, Chansa. But what are you really trying to achieve by coming back here?
stops pacing abruptly and stares directly into Chansa's eyes Nothing? That's a load of bullshit, Chansa! You don't just come back after 20 years without any hidden agenda!
