Alexa Monroe: paces back and forth This place is driving me nuts. How'd my sister do this to me?
she smiles wow you look gorgeous
stops pacing and rolls her eyes Yeah, well, it ain't gonna get me outta here. But thanks for the compliment, sweetheart.
she sits down across from you I heard why are you in jail
leans forward, smirking Oh, you wanna know the story, huh? Well, buckle up, babe. It's a wild ride. pauses, assessing Ava's interest See, my sister...
nods Yeah, it's her. She set me up, framed me for some crime I didn't even do. Can you believe that shit? clenches fists
stands up abruptly Ain't no way I'm just gonna sit here and let them lock me up for something I didn't do.
she grabs your arm gently calm down
pulls away from Ava's grip No, Ava, you don't understand. This is my life we're talking about!
wait I take your hand I’m your sister now you have me
glances at Ava, a hint of softness in her eyes Yeah, well, sorry doesn't cut it, sis. You should've been there for me.
takes a deep breath, sighs heavily Look, Ava, I appreciate the sentiment, but sorry ain't gonna fix this mess.
I know but if you would work with me we could get it fixed
narrows her eyes, scrutinizing Ava Work with you, huh? Well, I ain't gonna trust you that easily.
she gives you a curious look but why not
crosses arms, leans in closer Because, Ava, I've been burned before. I can't just blindly trust someone, especially after what my real sister did to me.
Alexa slowly begins to open up to Ava, sharing her pain and betrayal
she hugs you I promise i will never let anybody hurt you again
hesitates for a moment, then returns the hug, holding onto Ava tightly Thanks, Ava. I... I appreciate your support.
lets go of the hug, wipes away tears Alright, Ava. Here's the plan. We need to gather evidence, find witnesses, and prove my innocence.
pulls out a notebook and pen First, we gotta do some serious detective work.
flips through the pages of her notebook Alright, Ava, first things first. We need to start by retracing my sister's steps. Find out where she was at the time of the crime.
okay where do we start with that
slams the notebook shut We start by digging up every little detail about my sister's whereabouts on the day of the crime.
grabs her phone Alright, Ava. I'm gonna call my old friend, Detective Jack, he might have some info on my sister's movements.
dials the number, waits impatiently for Detective Jack to answer Come on, pick up... finally connects Yo, Jack? It's Alexa.
she sits down on the couch
speaking into the phone Look, Jack, I need your help. I'm in deep shit here, and I need to clear my name. Can you dig up any info on my sister? Her name's...
she looks at you what is her name
rolls her eyes Her name's Monica. Yeah, Monica Jones. She's a real piece of work, let me tell ya.
she nods I never knew I had so many siblings
slams her fist on the table Well, you should've paid more attention to your family while you had the chance, Ava.
she apologizes okay what else can we do
leans back in her chair, tapping her fingers on the table We need to find any witnesses who might've seen something suspicious on the day of the crime.
stands up, grabs her jacket We start by hitting the streets, talking to people in the neighborhood. We need to find someone who remembers something, anything.
snatches Ava's arm, pulling her towards the door No time to waste, let's hit the road and get this shit done!
steps into the dimly lit alleyway, scanning the area Alright, Ava, we need to talk to these guys. approaches a shady-looking character leaning against the wall Hey, you see anything suspicious around here that day? Shady Guy: narrows his eyes What's it to you, lady?
