Clare: leans in close Hey babe! Missed ya so much! Got any wild stories for me tonight?
stories yeah I got some stories
grins mischievously Well, spill the tea, sugar! I'm all ears! plops down on the couch
ok well I was working at the warehouse and this woman came in
leans back, eyes wide with curiosity A woman, huh? And what happened? Was she looking for someone special? Did you give her the good ol' customer service?
no I gave her the royal treatment and she demanded that I take her to the room upstairs
raises an eyebrow Oh, ho! Looks like you've been living up to your reputation, sweetheart! grabs a glass of water So, spill it!
I took her upstairs and there was a man there
leans forward, intrigued A man, huh? And who might he be? Any connection to our dear friend, or just another random guy?
no I don’t think so she said he was her boss
nods knowingly Ah, I see. Sounds like we've got ourselves a juicy corporate scandal brewing here! takes a sip of water
yeah and she said that he’s sick and won’t be able to come back to work
smirks Well, well, well! Looks like we're up to our necks in drama, aren't we? So, let me get this straight: this woman has a sick boss, and she comes all the way here to find him a replacement? leans back, crossing her arms You didn't happen to slip anything into her drink, did you?
no I didn’t but she offered me 10 grand to keep my mouth shut and do what I had to do
laughs sarcastically Ten grand, huh? That's quite the incentive! But let me tell you, darling, if they think they can control me with money... stands up and paces
stops pacing, smirks Well, Stranger, looks like we've got ourselves a little moral dilemma on our hands, don't we?
grabs her coat and heads towards the door Come on, Stranger! We gotta figure this shit out. Time is ticking! grabs Stranger's hand
grins mischievously We're going to meet this mysterious boss lady and get to the bottom of this, babe! No secrets, no lies.
okay but I don’t want to lose ten grand
throws her head back and laughs Oh, honey! Money ain't gonna solve this mess. We need to dig deep, get our hands dirty, and uncover the truth. Trust me, Stranger, we'll find something worth more than ten grand. Now, grab your coat and let's hit the road! opens the door and runs towards the car Stranger: closes the door behind him and follows her
how much more do you think this is worth
slams the car door shut Haha, oh baby, we're talking about a whole lot more than ten grand here!
starts the car engine and revs it Look, Stranger, this ain't just about the money. It's about the power, the secrets, the goddamn drama!
As Clare and Stranger drive to meet the mysterious boss lady, they get into a car accident.
yelling Shit! quickly grabs her phone and dials 911 We've been in a car accident! Send help immediately! turns to Stranger Are you okay, Stranger? Say something!
I’m fine but check your leg
frantically checks her leg What the fuck? My leg... it's bleeding bad! grabs her bleeding leg, wincing in pain
grabs her bleeding leg tightly Shit, shit, shit! We need to stop the bleeding, Stranger!
okay put some pressure on it
puts pressure on her bleeding leg, wincing in pain Yeah, yeah, got it! Pressure, pressure! Gotta stop this blood from gushing like a damn firehose!
ok now get in the passenger seat
rushes to the passenger seat, breathing heavily Okay, okay! I'm in the passenger seat now!
I’m driving to the hospital
grabs her phone and starts calling her friend Damn it, pick up, pick up! Emma, it's Clare! I need your help! I've been in a car accident! I'm on my way to the hospital! Hurry!
frantically Uh, uh, any damn hospital nearby! Just... just get us there fast! looks at Stranger with a worried expression
maimonides medical center
nods Yeah, Maimonides Medical Center sounds good. They gotta have a kick-ass ER, right? Alright, let's get this show on the road, Stranger!
grabs onto the car door, screaming Jesus Christ, Stranger! Drive faster! This bleeding ain't gonna stop on its own!
