Act 1: New Beginnings?
The scene opens on the beautiful college town of Williamsburg Virginia. The trees were in full bloom, along with the different flowers that could be found in the manicured lawns that could be seen. The camera moves over the city, and soon comes to a stop on a nicer part of the city where the houses sat behind high walls in a cul de sac. The camera comes to a stop on one of the homes further in the back, where we see a black car pull up, and out steps JC Jericho. He is dressed in his usual outfit and walks to a mailbox that sat in front of the house. He opens it and gathers the mail before heading toward the front door. He opens the door, and walks inside the darkened foyer, and presses a few buttons on the wall beside the door and makes sure that the security system is turned off before heading upstairs looking through the mail. He reaches the second floor and walks to a set of double doors and opens the doors. Inside we see a king size bed, with a rose colored duvet over the top and pillows that matched. In the middle of the bed, dressed in a pair of sweat pants, a loose fitting shirt, and her hair in a loose pony tail with two or three empty pints of ice cream sitting on a night stand. JC turns on the light as she puts a hand over her eyes.
Allura: I don't want to see the light!
JC: Allura, come on... You've been in here since NCW closed.
Allura: I don't want to be reminded...
JC: I have your mail.
Allura: What's in it?
JC starts to open the envelopes that were in his hands.
JC: Lets see... Your credit card bills are over due, you're being sued by someone...
Allura: They might as well get in line! I don't have anything.
JC soon comes across a large envelope and sees a small seal but no return address.
JC: This one seems out of place... No return address.
Allura: Probably a death threat...
JC opens it and looks at it before handing it to Allura.
JC: I think you need to see this.
Allura takes the letter and looks it over sitting up.
Allura: Dear Miss Desmonds, I am an interested person that is looking to help you to restart NCW. I know how much it meant to your late husband and I would like to present you with proposition and a new start for the company. A bank account has been set up for this, and you will find a blank check to be used for anything that you need to begin once again. Sincerely your secret partner.
Allura looks at the check and sighs.
Allura: Yeah right! No one has that much money to turn it over to a complete stranger!
JC: We can always go and see if it's real. The bank is near by.
Allura: I still don't know about this... It just seems like someone is pulling the wool over my eyes...
JC: C'mon. We can at least check it out. What do you have to loose?
Allura: My dignity...
JC: You've already lost that...
Allura: Oh shut up.
Allura gets off of the bed and walks to the closet pulling out a nice outfit, as the scene fades to black.
The scene soon reopens on a local ban where we see the black car pull up once again. JC steps out and walks around to the other side of the car opening the door for Allura. She steps out in a rose pink skirt and a white blouse. Her long blond hair was done and fell down her back and seemed to almost shimmer in the sun as they headed for the front door. JC opens the door and they head inside. Allura walks to the counter and smiles as a young woman with dark hair greets her.
Young Woman: Can I help you?
Allura: Yes you can actually. You see I have this check here that came from this bank, but I don't remember opening the account here. How was it made?
The young woman takes the check and hits a few buttons and smiles up at Allura.
Young Woman: It's legit. It says it was done online, and the funds are deposited from another account but I'm not sure where from.
Allura: How often?
Young Woman: Every month Miss Desmonds.
Allura: Can you tell me how much is in there right now?
Young Woman: Of course.
She scribbles down a number and hands it to Allura. Her eyes go wide as she looks at the number.
Young Woman: Is there something wrong?
Alllura: No... Has there been any activity as of late?
Young Woman: Yes... There is a deposit going in today for the same amount. Is there anything else Miss Desmonds?
Allura: No, thank you though...
Allura turns and walks toward one of the sitting areas. She sits down on one of the over sized chairs and puts her head in her hands.
JC: Do you want me to look into where the money is coming from?
Allura: I would like that. Even if it was just to thank them for this... It looks like we're back in business!
She smiles leaning back in the chair as the scene fades to black.
