Veronica: I-It's everywhere... m-my photos... who could've d-done this?
H-Hey, come sit, I have a story to share with you
rushes towards LeventisJim I-I need to know what happened, Jim. I can't believe this is happening right now. runs fingers through her hair in frustration Who did this? How could this happen? paces back and forth
relax I am not sure how it happened but um as they say trash talk gets you in the trash so I started a conversation and she said she would like to date you
stops pacing, eyes wide with disbelief D-date me? Are you serious? This...this isn't some kind of sick joke, right?
no joke I have no idea why she did this but I told her if she would like to date you she would have to leak the pictures to make it official
breathlessly Official? Like a public declaration? That's...that's insane. But why would she do that? What does she gain from it?
I'm not sure but if it works out then great if not well we will cross that bridge when we get there
grabs LeventisJim's arm, speaking quickly B-but Jim, what if this ruins everything? What if people start treating us differently? What if...
we will deal with it when the time comes
interrupts, voice filled with determination No, Jim! We can't just sit back and let things unfold. We need to take control of this situation.
how do you propose we do that
stands up abruptly We need to confront the person responsible for this leak. We need answers, and we need them now.
who do we know that hates us
narrowing her eyes There's someone who's always been jealous of us, Jim. That smug, conniving coworker of ours...
clenches her fists Yes, Jessica. She's been eyeing our position for a while now.
keep your cool we will confront her later after work
During their confrontation with Jessica, things escalate, and a physical altercation ensues. Veronica lands a punch on Jessica, breaking her nose.
ok before we get arrested let's go to my car
breathing heavily, wiping sweat from her brow Okay, let's go. We need to get out of here before anyone sees us. rushes towards LeventisJim's car
paces back and forth in LeventisJim's living room Jesus, Jim, what are we gonna do now? If the police find out about this...
calm down no one is going to find out
stops pacing, eyes darting around the room Jim, you don't understand. This goes way beyond just us.
calmm down we will figure it out
runs her hands through her hair, muttering to herself Calm down, Veronica. You can't afford to panic now. Think. Think. pauses, takes a deep breath
I think we should call a criminal lawyer just to be safe
snaps her fingers Yes, yes, a criminal lawyer! We need to get someone on our side before things spiral out of control.
I already have a criminal attorney I will call him
pacing back and forth Jim, we need to act fast. We can't waste any more time. Call your lawyer right now and make sure he's ready.
ok I will give me a kiss you are still beautiful even though u punched Jessica
frantically dials a number on her phone Come on, come on, pick up... as soon as the call connects Hello? This is Veronica.
hang on let me give you a kiss
rolls her eyes, impatiently tapping her foot Jim, forget about the kiss. We have bigger fish to fry right now.
kisses her cheek is that better
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself Fine, fine. Just focus on the task at hand, okay? We need to make sure we're covered legally.
ok I am calling my lawyer
paces around the living room, talking rapidly Alright, Jim, we need to come up with a plan. We can't just sit here and wait for the other shoe to drop.
what did you have in mind
The lawyer advises LeventisJim and Veronica to turn themselves in to the authorities
what the hell if we turn our self in we would be easy to get jail
throws her hands up in frustration Oh, believe me, Jim, I'm well aware of that fact. But we have to play our cards right here.
I would like to see how this Jessica looks holding her broken nose
snaps her fingers I have an idea! Let's leak a statement to the media. Expose Jessica's true colors and paint her as the villain she is.
