INT. HOSPITAL
- NIGHT - 12:10AM
Alma
arrives at the hospital with her partner James. They head to the reception.
Then, showing her badge..
ALMA DULCE
Detective
Alma Dulce Pilar, Detective James. We need to talk with the doctor in charge about
the guy found injured in Russell Square during the magic show.
NURSE
Oh, yes. I’ll
call Dr. Cassidy.
She opens
the microphone and speaks.
NURSE
(CONT'D)
Dr. Cassidy
is required at the reception.
Dr. Cassidy
at the reception.
The doctor
arrives in a minute.
ALMA DULCE
Detective
Alma Dulce Pilar, detective James. What about the guy found injured in Russell Square?
How is he?
DR. CASSIDY
He has
suffered a... One of his kidneys has been surgically removed.
Alma listens
carefully to the doctor without interrupting.
DR. CASSIDY
(CONT’D)
At the moment
he is sedated. He has lost a lot of blood but he should recover soon.
ALMA DULCE
Me need to
talk to him. When do you think it will be possible?
DR. CASSIDY
It depends
of his condition later today. We will keep you informed.
ALMA DULCE
Okay, thank
you Dr. Cassidy.
They shake
their hands and leave.
While
entering the car Alma’s phone rings. She sits in the passenger seat and while
James starts driving she opens the call. Before she can say a word...
JD
It’s JD,
detective.
ALMA DULCE
(Trying to
hide her surprise)
Hello...
Mr. Smith. What can I do for you!
JD
Wanted to
know how the guy is. I’m still upset, can’t sleep.
ALMA DULCE
(Faking
control)
It seems like
he will recover. You can have a good night, sir.
JD
(Surprised
by her coolness)
Thank God.
He feels
she is controlling herself. He liked her from the first. She is nice, ok, but
he feels there is something special in her. So decides to shoot one of his
“heart bullets”...
JD (CONT’D)
(Deep
voice)
Good night,
Alma.
He closes
the phone right after without waiting for her answer. He watches the phone with
a sweet smile imagining her inner reaction.
He was
right, she stays dumb for some seconds with the phone still in her right ear,
looking straight in front of her with her gaze lost nowhere.
James keeps
one eye on the road and one on her, smiling.
When she
recovers she realizes James is watching her amused.
ALMA DULCE
(Annoyed by
his amused smile)
What’s up.
JAMES
(Still
smiling)
What’s up with
you! What did he tell you!?
ALMA DULCE
(Annoyed
again)
He simply
wanted news about the guy.
JAMES
(Still
smiling)
He likes
you.
She watches
him blushing with her dark eyes wide open with surprise.
ALMA DULCE
What??
JAMES
Come on,
you’re blushing it’s clear! He is nice, what’s wrong!
ALMA DULCE
(Faking
self-assurance)
James, I’m
blushing for the foolish things you are saying!
JAMES
(Being
serious)
You’ve
never shown any interest in any man since I met you.
With him, it is different,
that’s nice! Isn’t it?
ALMA DULCE
Shut up!
She cuts
off the dialogue roughly. He watches her again caringly with a smile then,
still smiling returns watching the road in front of them. A lot of untold
thoughts run inside both their minds.
FADE OUT
