[The door to Sissel’s house very slowly opens late at night. He stumbles in, the door being quietly shut behind him. He flicks the light on to his living room as he stumbles a little bit more around the corner, then collapses onto the sofa. Goldberg stands above him, sighing.]
Goldberg: Come on, Sissel, talk to me…
[He crouches down, looking at him.]
Goldberg: We can’t stay silent about this, okay? We need to talk.
[He puts his hand on Sissel’s arm. Sissel doesn’t move.]
Goldberg: [worried] Come on, Sissel, say something.
[Someone clears their throats behind them. Goldberg slowly turns around and sees Kenzie stood in the room, a big smile on her face.]
Kenzie: Mind if I try to help?
Goldberg: Who are you? How the hell did you get in?
Kenzie: I wanted to get in. Simple.
[She moves over to Sissel, laying a hand on his shoulder.]
Kenzie: [sweet] Cecil? Sweetie? You there, buddy?
[Sissel very slowly starts to turn, looking to see Kenzie with a big smile.]
Kenzie: [sweet] Hey again.
Sissel: [depressed, confused] How are you-
[Kenzie quickly shushes Sissel, putting a hand over his mouth.]
Kenzie: [sweet] Don’t worry about that. Okay, you’re very tired and we have a lot to talk about tomorrow.
[Kenzie slowly moves her hand onto Sissel’s forehead.]
Kenzie: [sweet] Just get some sleep for me.
[Sissel immediately falls unconscious, going limp on the sofa. Kenzie gets up, turning to Goldberg.]
Goldberg: [confused] Who the hell are you?
Kenzie: [sweet] Oh… guardian angel, twin sister, imaginary friend. It’s mainly whatever works at the time.
[She beams a large smile, holding it in front of Goldberg.]
Kenzie: Call me Kenzie. I’m going to be staying around for a while.
[Goldberg very hesitantly moves a hand out and shakes hers. Meanwhile at the clubhouse, the group are all together. Leigh and Chelsea are sat together on the sofa, Vince is stood in the doorway thinking and Liv is pacing around the centre of the room trying to call Velma. Gary is unconscious on the floor, snoring, with Cheshire resting next to him.]
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
Chelsea: [panicking] Is she picking up?
Liv: No, she hasn’t all day.
Leigh: [forceful] Look, we don’t know for certain any of this-
Liv: [angry] Do we? She knew about powers immediately, she didn’t consider anything else!
Leigh: [angry] You shouldn’t have told her about it in the first place!
Vince: [worried, yelling] Will you two shut up?
[The three look towards Vince, who looks annoyed. Vince turns to face Liv.]
Vince: Call her one more time.
[Liv nods and rings Velma’s phone again.]
Vince: Let’s just go slowly. He said there were “people of interest”, did he name any names?
Chelsea: [worried] No. But he helped me and Sissel, he told us our alibi basically.
Vince: Right…
Chelsea: [worried] Oh god, he killed a man.
Vince: In self defence. He’s not a psycho.
Leigh: [quietly] Considering how he’s acting recently-
Vince: [angry] Don’t fucking start, not now.
[Leigh is about to retort, but Vince stares Leigh down. Liv pockets her phone.]
Liv: His mum won’t pick up.
Vince: [worried] Right… okay then…
[Vince gets off the door frame, moving towards the group.]
Vince: Here’s what’s going to happen. We are going to find my cousin and we do not let him out of our sight, we do not let him be alone. If the White Rabbit knows Sissel, done something to his mum, anything like that…
[Vince sighs, looking at the ground and putting his face in his hands.]
Leigh: He can handle himself, can’t he?
Liv: [angry] We are not risking it.
Chelsea: I can try and go back, find out where she went.
Leigh: No, you’ll just put yourself in more danger.
Vince: [angry] Well we need to do something.
[Leigh and Vince look at each other, Leigh hesitantly nodding.]
Leigh: [hesitant] Okay… yeah, okay.
[Leigh sighs.]
Liv: We've already lost Tracey, we’re not losing anybody again. If this guy is coming for us-
Vince: [angry] Then we are gonna put him… in the fucking ground.
