Maxim: taps fingers Why'd Dad betray us? Got secrets, huh?
Stranger
The girl with violet hair stands beside Maxim
Maxim: turns to Stranger Hey, sis. Got any idea what's going on?
Stranger
he takes off his mask it’s me… your dad
Maxim: narrows eyes You? My father? No shit! What the fuck did you do to our family, huh?
Stranger
I’m not a bad person
Maxim: grabs Stranger by the collar You think that matters? You betrayed us! You left us vulnerable! What's your fucking excuse?
Stranger
I wanted to protect you both…. I know how to hack into the police computer and see when they’re suspecting you… so I had to leave to get more evidence
Maxim: tightens grip on Stranger's collar Protect us? By abandoning us? Is that what you call protection?
Stranger
I called you both several times after I left
Maxim: releases Stranger, clenches fists Called us? And you expect us to believe that? You disappeared without a trace! We were devastated, looking for you like fools!
Stranger
well I got my phone back and I couldn’t contact you
Maxim: paces back and forth, frustrated Devastated? You have no idea how much we suffered without you!
Stranger
I know..I suffered too
Maxim: stops pacing, smirks Suffered? Oh, really? You think your pain compares to ours?
Stranger
yes… you’re my little brother I was there for you….
Maxim: raises an eyebrow Little brother, huh? Well, maybe I should remind you just how important I am to this family.
Stranger
I know… but I’m so sorry…
Maxim: crosses arms, leans in Sorry doesn't cut it, Dad. We need answers. We need to know why you left us high and dry.
Stranger
I told you I can hack into the police computer
Maxim: smirks Told us? Show me then. Prove it. Hack into the police computer right now and give us some proof.
Stranger
He takes out his laptop
Maxim: leans closer, watching intently Alright, show me what you've got. Hack into that damn computer and let's see if you're full of shit or not.
Stranger
He starts typing rapidly on his laptop, his fingers flying across the keyboard
Maxim: narrows eyes, watching Stranger's screen Come on, come on... prove to me you're not full of shit.
Stranger
His face grows serious as he continues to type. The screen fills with lines of code.
Maxim: leans in closer, whispering Show me something impressive, Dad. If you want our trust, you better deliver.
