The Dinner
Mr and Mrs Adams, Lucy and Becca can be seen seated together in the dining room of the Adams's mansion. Ela and Ena are in the kitchen rounding off their cooking.
Mr Adams: I just wish the twins won't poison us, especially as they are using a deal of time in their cooking
Mrs Adams: If the food doesn't taste good just tell them, after all they want us to rate them
Lucy: They can't possibly cook Macaroni and cheese wrong?
Mr Adams: Just saying, they are kids. Because I only learnt how to make the only thing I can make now when I was 14 years old
Becca: And what was that, uncle?
Mr Adams: Tea
(Becca and Lucy laughs)
Mrs Adam: And the tea is usually tasteless or watery (everyone laughs)
(Ela and Ena enters with a tray of food arranged)
Ela: Bon appetit!
Ena: You are gonna love it!
Mr Adams: I sure hope so
Ela: It's far better than those food you eat at hotels and restaurants
Mrs Adams: Really? Can't wait to eat it, then
(Ela dishes the food)
Ena: (Dejected) Big brother didn't come
Ela: But he promised that we will all sit together to eat our food
Mrs Adams: I'm sorry Dearies.
You know your brother…..
Becca: He is dealing with somethings, he would be here, he wouldn't want to disappoint his Chipmunks.
(Lucy stares at Becca inquisitively)
Right Lucy?
Lucy: Um, em, yeah, he said so…. I guess
Ela: He won't dare disappoint us anyways
(Mr Adams smiles sadly, the twins sit down)
Ena: Nobody is eating till big brother Comes
Mrs Adams: What if the food gets cold
Ena: Nobody eats!
(The sitting room door opens and footsteps can be heard heading to the dining room)
Kris: Hope, I'm not late
Ela and Ena: (Runs to hug him) Big brother!
Ela: You came!
Kris: Ofcourse, I can't disappoint my chipmunks
Becca: See, I told you
Mr Adams: Welcome Kris, how are you? (Kris nods in response)
Kris: Let's get digging guys, I'm famished. (They begin to eat)
Mr Adams: Wow, it tastes contradictory to what I expected!
Mrs Adams: Surprisingly delicious!
Ela: Surprisingly? You should expect more delicious foods from us.
We can't learn from a great chef and cook rubbish.
Ena: Yeah, we are the future best chefs of the world!
Mrs Adams: Sorry, I expected less my darlings
Ena and Ela: Apology accepted
Lucy: So cute when they talk together
Becca: Kinda
Ela: Less talking, more eating. Table manners, people!
By the way, how's the food, KBL?
Becca: I thought you said no talking? (Everyone laughs)
Ela: I didn't say, now?
(Laughter again)
Tell me, guys! I'm dying to know!
Ena: Yeah, me too
Becca: Well, it is delish! (delicious)
Ena: Lucy?
Lucy: It is okay
Ela: Big brother?
Kris: Perfecto!
Ela and Ela: I'm glad you all like it!
Becca: It's kinda creepy when you both say the same thing at once.
(Everybody laughs)
Mrs Adams: That reminds me, Kris.
My director wants you to cast in a movie titled 'Creepy but hot'. He said you would be perfect for the lead actor. You know, handsome and all
Kris: Okay
Mrs Adams: (Disbelieving her ears) Did you just agree to it?
Kris: Don't let me change my mind
Lucy: (Interrupting) Did the celebrant Actress like our gift, Aunty?
Mrs Adams: Oh yes, she did. She definitely loved it.
She kept thanking me on and on for the performance you gave her, she was happy. She even said that the payment was low compared to your performance and said to send some money to you.
Don't tell her I told you, let's keep it a secret. (The girls laugh)
I myself, I'm thankful that you honored me.
Becca: We can never say no to you aunty. You are like a mother to us
Lucy: Exactly
(Mrs Adams smiles broadly)
Ela: Someone's gonna choke soon because of talking when eating.
Mrs Adams: We won't talk again, ma'am (makes as if she's zipping her mouth close, Lucy's phone vibrates, a message appears on her phone)
Lucy:(Stands up) Thank you for the food, twins. Thanks everyone
Mr Adams: Are you leaving?
Lucy: Um no, I have been sent a voice note, I want to go listen to it.
Mr Adams: Oh, Alright
Ela: That means, you will come back to eat some more?
Lucy: Not really, I'm satisfied. Thanks dearie
Becca: But you are coming back
Lucy: (Chuckles) I'm not running guys, I will be back, promise. (Leaves)
Kris: (Suspecting something) I will be back, I wanna use the facilities. (Stands up and walks away)
Outside
Lucy: Who's this anonymous number? Why say, be alone and then call?
Well, I won't ever know till I call.
(Calls the number)
Caller: Hey, L
Lucy: Yeah, who's this?
Caller: I am Dora, your boyfriend's second girlfriend or chick as he usually calls me
Lucy: This is a wrong number
Dora: No, it's not. Please don't cut the call.
I just need to tell you something.
I called with a random number, actually with this guy standing ahead of me's phone
I can't call with my number, cause I'm scared, please save me
Lucy: I don't get what you are saying to me at all
Dora: I can't state his name. The one you are dating, he is planning something against you, something bad, something to spoil your reputation
Lucy: How do I know you are telling the truth?
Dora: You have to believe me.
Lucy: I can't just believe someone I don't know
Dora: Meet me at Joy's café, behind block 114, 7pm tomorrow
Lucy: I don't think I know that place
(Phone hangs). Hello? Hello Dora? Hello?
Kris: Who's that?
Lucy: Some random girl said to come to some place called Joy's café behind block 114, 7pm tomorrow.
I Don't even know the place
Kris: (Frowns suspiciously) To do what?
Lucy: I don't know, she said to tell me something, she sounds scared and all
Kris: To tell you something?
Lucy: Yes, she said my boyfriend plans something bad against me but can not tell me on phone
What do you say? Should I go?
Kris: Go. I will follow you behind unnoticed
Lucy: Are you sure she's not gonna recognise you?
Kris: Trust me
Lucy: And you should bring the cops along incase of necessity
Kris: I don't need no cops
Lucy: What if..
Kris: (Holds her chin and looks into her eyes) Trust me Lucy
Lucy: Alright
