Chapter 8: Kidnap

Constable (Frustration, Irritation): "WHAT DO YOU MEAN HELP? I CAN'T HELP WITH KIDNAPPING! I AM A FREAKING POLICE OFFICER!!

Felix (Urgency, Determination): "Look, that guy is also a police officer, right? But he isn't doing his duties. Someone's got to teach him a lesson. Please, you have to help us. Our friend's life depends on this."

Constable (Skepticism, Reluctance): "What do I have to do?"

...….

Constable (Nervousness, Apprehension): "Shhh! Both of you, be quiet! Someone might hear you."

Scarlett (Fear, Anxiety): "God, I'm scared. This is my first time breaking into a police station."

Felix (Sarcasm, Attempted Calmness): "You're talking as if I do it all the time."

Scarlett (Panic, Desperation): "I don't know! Maybe you do, do it all the time!"

Constable (Confusion, Curiosity): "I still don't understand why we have to do this?"

Felix (Exasperation, Explanation): "Well, you said he arrested every single criminal related to kidnapping, right?"

Constable (Realization, Understanding): "Yeah so?"

Felix (Determination, Assertiveness): "Scarlett checked everyone's phone number and found out where they all were the day Charlotte got kidnapped. She figured out one of them was the nearest to North Star Hospital. It's where Charlotte works. All we have to do is meet him."

Constable (Concern, Worry): "Oh so we-"

Scarlett (Excitement, Discovery): "There! I see his cell."

They approach the cell.

Felix (Impatience, Discomfort): "God, my toes hurt! Tip-toeing is hard!"

Constable (Confusion, Disbelief): "Excuse me?"

Unknown Voice (Defensiveness, Curiosity): "What do you want?"

Scarlett (Nervousness, Determination): "Are you Mr. James?"

James (Defensiveness, Indifference): "And if I am?"

Felix (Frustration, Diplomacy): "Dude, there is no need to be so rude, okay. We need your help, that's all."

Scarlett senses Felix's rising anger, gently holding his hand.

Scarlett (Whispered Urgency, Reassurance): "Please, now's not the time."

Ensuring Felix calms down, Scarlett turns back to James.

Scarlett (Determination, Persuasion): "Look, days ago, you went to North Star Hospital. We don't want or need to know why you were there, but we need to know if you saw anything suspicious there."

James (Defensiveness, Reluctant Cooperation): "Well, I saw a girl getting kidnapped."

Scarlett (Hope, Eagerness): "Did you see the person's face?"

James (Negation, Bewilderment): "Nope, but I saw where he went."

Felix and Scarlett (Excitement, Eagerness): "WHERE!?

James (Recollection, Uncertainty): "Well, he went straight for quite some time and then took a sharp left. The next thing I knew, he was gone. It was like he disappeared into thin air."

Scarlett (Puzzlement, Determination): "I wonder where he-"

Felix (Resolution, Focus): "Let's try retracing his steps. We might find something at that sharp left. Thank you, Mr. James. I assure you they will release you tomorrow."

James (Skepticism, Doubt): "Pfft, how can you guarantee?"

...….

Felix (Amazement, Curiosity): "Wow! What is this place! It's so scientific! Look at all the wires and test tubes and bottles and-"

Scarlett (Urgency, Remembrance): "Shhh! We have to find Charlotte, remember!!"

Felix (Distraction, Focus): "Oh yeah, right!"

Scarlett (Concern, Inquiry): "Wait, what about Isabella?"

Felix (Confidence, Assurance): "Oh, I sent her home. Those guys will be released -"

Unknown Voice (Muffled Desperation, Plea for Help): "MMMM! MMM!"

Scarlett (Alarm, Determination): "Wait, did you hear that?"

Felix (Readiness, Alertness): "It was coming from there! Let's go!"
