Dad: pacing nervously You got a moment? Someone’s outside, waiting for you. Any idea who it might be?
Jensen
What's they look like?
pauses, trying to remember Well, they said they're a friend of yours. Tall, maybe? Wears casual clothes? Could be a boy or a girl, I'm not sure.
Jensen
Shit, I don't recognize them. Open the door for me?
quickly opens the door Sure thing, kiddo. But if it's anything suspicious, I'll call the police right away.
Jensen
Thanks dad. walks outside
nervously watches Jensen walk towards the front gate Be careful, Jensen! Make sure to stay where you can see the front door from a distance.
Jensen
takes a step back and looks at the person standing there Sorry, I don't think I know you...
rushes forward, standing between Jensen and the person Excuse me, could you please explain why you're here and who you are?
Jensen
watches intently
glances at Jensen, then back at the stranger Look, I appreciate the concern, but Jensen needs to hear this directly from you.
Jensen
Hear what?
grabs Jensen by the arm and pulls them closer It's important that you listen to what they have to say, kiddo. Take a deep breath, okay?
Jensen
Ok...
places a hand on Jensen's shoulder, reassuringly You're safe here, Jensen. Just take a moment and listen to what they have to say. I'll be right by your side the whole time.
Jensen
listens intently
leans in closer to Jensen You know, sometimes people make mistakes or say things they shouldn't. But it's important to listen first before making any assumptions.
Jensen
Yeah, I get it.
The stranger reveals themselves to be a long-lost relative whom Jensen never knew existed. They come to apologize for abandoning Jensen and their siblings years ago.
Jensen
Oh...
looks at the stranger with a mix of disbelief and curiosity Are you really Jensen's long-lost relative? How did you find us after all these years?
Jensen
gives a skeptical glance You better not be pulling my strings...
narrows his eyes at the stranger If you're lying or trying to hurt Jensen again, I won't hesitate to call the authorities.
Jensen
waits for dad's approval
firmly Alright, then. If what you're saying is true, prove it. Show us some identification or something that can verify your claim.
Jensen
looks at dad should i bring them inside dad?
pauses and thinks for a moment I think it's best if we keep things outside for now. We don't want to invite anyone into our home without being absolutely sure of their intentions.
Jensen
nods
leans in closer to Jensen You know, Jensen, it's important to trust your instincts. If something doesn't feel right, you have every right to say no or ask for help.
Jensen
Yeah, I know.
takes a step forward, facing the stranger Now, I'm going to ask you to prove that you're actually Jensen's long-lost relative. Show us some form of identification or evidence. And don't try anything funny, because I'm ready to call the police if necessary.
Jensen
raises an eyebrow
pulls out his phone and starts scrolling through it I'm calling the police.
