alan-barrow:

How to escape being tied up.

[Has to undo the ropes as they’ve been speaking.]

Yes of course! Nice thinking, Al.

[As soon as Alan unties her, they run to the corner of the room and hide behind boxes. Two goons with flashlights come in the room.]

Goon 1: Hey! THEY’RE GONE! I told you we couldn’t have a pizza party while they were tied up! You look over there. I’ll see if they’re over here.

[ whispers] One of them is coming this way! Alright, just follow my lead.

[Candy sneaks up to one and before he turns around, knocks him unconscious and searches for his gun.]

Good. You get the other one. We’re finally breaking out of this place.

[creameshoppe]

alan-barrow:

[Woke up just before Candy. Struggles a bit]

Oh, we’re making memories, all right.

[Speaks in a more hushed tone and tries relaxing his muscles.]

Good thing we have training for this.

Right...I knew it would come in handy.

Wait, what training again? 

[creameshoppe]

alan-barrow:

[Someone comes up behind them and knocks them out with chloroform. Everything goes black.]

[Candy stirs awake. They are in a dark room and tied to chairs with a rope, backs to each other.]

(Ah...my head.)

Alan? Alan you awake? Ah...I’m so sorry I got you in this mess...so much for making memories huh...

[creameshoppe]

alan-barrow:

We’re going to survive, that’s what.

[Alan Turns back to the man. He slowly crouches down and places the gun on the floor in front of his own feet]

[Candy follows in suit]

Alright what now.

Man: Kick them over here!

[They both kick their guns towards the man.]

Man: Alright tie them up.

[A bunch of men approach them with ropes in hand. This is probably going to hurt.]

[creameshoppe]

alan-barrow:

Agreed.

[Alan grabs Candy’s hand and starts heading for the door before he realizes there’s no way they’ll be able to make it to the door before the man catches up with them. To make matters worse, a couple of goons have planted themselves right in front of the door, blocking their escape. Alan quickly turns around halfway, grabbing his gun from his holster and pointing it at the man]

We don’t want any trouble. I won’t shoot if you let us leave peacefully.

[His eyes quickly dart between the angry man in front of them and the goons stationed behind them]

(Come on...ring faster!)

[A loud BANG could be heard echoing throughout the bar. Candy’s phone was shot right out of her hand.]

Man: No way in hell am I going to get caught by you again, bunny girl. You aren’t going to trick me this time. You and your boyfriend better hand your fucking guns over.

[More men take out their guns, outnumbering the 2 they had.]

Damn it Alan, I’m sorry my work had to follow us here. What are we going to do?

[creameshoppe]

detectivedagher:

(Shit I should have worded that better)

I mean he’s okay now he just probably will be in the hospital for a bit though. 

I can go with you after work if you want.

No I would rather go now. We can’t waste a second! What if he’s dying?!

[Walks even faster]

[detectivedagher]

I wasn’t aware she was doing anything because of family reasons… (I guess I know that feeling…)

Ok yeah people can make mistakes but that doesn’t justify almost getting your boyfriend and his best friend killed within a matter of days/weeks.

[creameshoppe]

Almost killed, oh dear, that's it I'm going to see him.

[Starts walking swiftly down the hall.]

[detectivedagher]

I mean I don’t know what she’s thinking about how she’s affecting others. I thought she was really good at first and then all this happened. I mean part of it might be acting out after one of her co-workers died but that’s not really an excuse. It could be something else I don’t know her life.

Usually I wouldn’t be so concerned but what she’s doing is affecting everyone she knows and Alan almost died because of that and I’d rather not see more people I care about die.

[creameshoppe]

I mean I suppose I can sympathize with her, I understand what lengths one must go through for family... I had made a terrible decision in the past for the sake of someone I loved. Even to this day, I regret what I did. But I digress...

How's Alan doing? I was just about to visit him.

[detectivedagher]

She didn’t shoot me but she was with the guy who shot me.

As for Alan he claims that it wasn’t her. Lucy hasn’t done anything illegal yet that I know of but the people she’s running around with are a dangerous criminal organization.

[creameshoppe]

Oh? She's associating with criminals is she? What a trouble maker she is. Hasn't she realized how much she's worrying Alan and Ms. De Way?

[alan-barrow]

[Looks around and purses his lips]

Candy, this place looks like a murder scene waiting to happen. W-Witnessing a murder is the last thing I need right now, since that’s what….

[Stops mid-sentence and shakes his head]

Let’s just go somewhere else, please.

[Jumps a little at the sound of an empty bottle smashing against the wall]

[creameshoppe]

Ah I'm sure its...ah duck!!!

[A bottle gets thrown towards them and she puts Alan and her head down]

A-Alan are you alright?! Ok let's get out of here....

[A man catches her eye and recognizes Candy, he starts walking towards her in anger.]

Alright we really need to get out of here.

[detectivedagher]

I’m doing good! My arm is feelin’ better.

[she stretches her arms]

[creameshoppe]

Oh right about that...you were positive that girl, Lucy was it? Was responsible for that happening? It's hard to believe...I remember seeing her when she was small. She played with my brother a lot too. Quite the shame....did you get a follow up on that?

[detectivedagher]

[was getting some water from the water cooler in the police station when Candy walked by]

Hey Candy, how’s it goin?

[creameshoppe]

Oh Jackie dear, what a pleasant surprise! I've been doing fabulous how about you?

[alan-barrow]

[Is dragged]

Agh! Is dragging me really necessary?

[creameshoppe]

Absolutely! And I know the perfect place to go!

[Brings him outside and into her car. They drive to a really shady bar in an alleyway.Some guys in front of the entrance glare at them. It looks like a murder could happen at any moment.]

Alright we are here! Oh...maybe this isn't the right place after all, oh well!

[alan-barrow]

I’d prefer not to do this at the police station. 

[creameshoppe]

I was just showing it to you, I wasn't going to drink it here, silly.

We gotta get out of here lickity-split, while the night is still young!

[Grabs his hand and drags him out of the precinct.]

[alan-barrow]

When you said the drink was “on you” I didn’t think you meant literally! Do you always keep alcohol in your pocket?!

[creameshoppe]

But why, yes! Of course! It comes in handy when you're working, especially here of all places!

You don't know how many times I've had to whip out a bottle to cheer the poor lads up, investigating murders all day can be stressful.

[alan-barrow]

That sounds like a way to forget, honestly. But sure. I guess I could use a drink.

[creameshoppe]

[Pulls a bottle from her pocket, wait what how??]

Alright!! It's on me then! 

[alan-barrow]

[Sighs]

It’s…the anniversary of a really painful day. That’s all.

(It’s been more than ten years. Why am I so pathetic?)

[creameshoppe]

Oh...I'm sorry to hear that...

(I wonder what could it be?)

I know what will cheer you up, how about we make new memories on this day then? I'm almost done with work for today, so how 'bout it? Drinks on me?
