Scene opens with Marcus laying down next to Ange in their tent. Ange is laying with her eyes wide open, with a look on her face indicating she is lost in thought. Marcus is sleeping. Marcus is tall with a broad, strong frame. He has dark brown hair with green eyes. Ange is petite with long black hair and intensely blue eyes. Marcus begins to stir, opens his eyes and looks up at Ange. Camera is looking down at them from a side angle.

MARCUS

 How long have you been awake for?

 ANGE

I don’t know… I didn’t really sleep too well.

 (She sits up and looks down to the ground, as if something is troubling her.)

MARCUS

 Aw I’m sorry. Are you okay? You look upset.

 ANGE

I’m fine. I was just thinking about Zeb and Masha. Masha seemed so uptight and worried about stuff. I know that must be her nature, but she seemed so worried about something. Almost like she was scared.

(Pause)

 …and Zeb seemed so relaxed and happy. Almost giddy about something. I got a weird feeling from him, Marcus. Like creeped out when he was sitting with us.

 MARCUS

Ange, come on. Zeb is cool. He risked his life to bring me that note and practically saved my life after the Vampire party.  I don’t know what you’re so worried about.

(Marcus stands up and starts to get ready to pack up camp) 

ANGE

 I don’t know… something just felt off. He was just weirding me out.  Don’t you think it was weird Masha gave you the flashdrive so quickly before Zeb came? And then we saw Zeb going with Johnstone!

  MARCUS

 Ange. I don’t know why she is here, or how she even found out Zeb and Masha were still alive and would be here. I don’t know what to think, and I’m worried about it too. But if you’re implying that Zeb is on Johnstone’s side, well, you’re out of your mind.

 (Ange stands up next to Marcus and looks at him)

ANGE

Come on, Marcus! Think about it. He gives you a note claiming to have shared a prison cell with Daryll, but he doesn’t give you any information that makes it obvious he really knew Daryll. Then he escapes seamlessly from Gitmo-by-the-bay,  even with the tightest security this country has ever seen, and somehow tracks you down to give you the note? All without the DHS knowing about it? And then after the Vampire party you two find each other, set up camp under a random overpass, and the DHS find you within hours? It all sounds like too much to be a coincidence.  And now, Johnstone shows up to Burning Man and runs into Zeb out of the blue? I may have misread her, but she doesn’t seem like the Burning Man-type to me.

(Pause)

 She has someone on the inside. And I think it is Zeb. I don’t trust him.

 (Marcus pauses for a moment, and looks away from Ange. Marcus sits down.)

 MARCUS

Ange. I really think you’re reading too much into this.

ANGE

 Marcus, has Darryl even mentioned anything to you about Zeb?

 MARCUS

 No. But he never talks about his time in Gitmo. That shit really messed with his head.

 ANGE

 Well we need to talk to Darryl about Gitmo before I can trust Zeb. The way he just disappeared with Johnstone was a little suspicious. And I’m worried for Masha. I didn’t even really like the girl…but I could tell she was scared about something.

MARCUS

 Ah, alright Ange. We’ll talk to Darryl as soon as we get home if it makes you feel better.

 ANGE

 Thank you. I’m just worried we might be in danger too…and I need to be sure Zeb isn’t working for the DHS before I can trust him.

MARCUS

Okay, I understand.

Marcus and Ange kiss. The scene fades to black.

The scene opens with Marcus and Ange knocking on the door to Darryl’s house. They knock for a long time, with no answer to the door.

MARCUS

Darryl! Open the door! It’s Marcus!

(Marcus knocks again. Waits. Then just opens the door himself)

Marcus and Ange walk into the house and find Daryll sitting on the couch watching TV. Darryl looks unshaven, and is in his pajamas. Darryl is short with dark skin and dark hair.

MARCUS

Dude, don’t you know you’re supposed to answer the door when someone knocks?

 DARRYL

 Sorry…just didn’t really want to see anyone.

ANGE

Sorry to bother you Darryl! It’s my fault…I dragged Marcus here. He knew you didn’t want visitors. But we just wanted to check in and see how you were doing.

 (Ange and Marcu sit down on the chairs opposite the couch)

 DARRYL

 Nah, you guys are fine. It’s just my aunts and uncles and neighbors come over to see how I’m doing every single day. It is so annoying. And I can’t be bothered to answer the door anymore. But anways, how was the Burning Man?

MARCUS

It was crazy, man! You would have loved it! We should go next year.

 ANGE

 Yeah, it was absolutely ridiculous. The art was so cool, and there were a lot of people there.

(pause)

 We ran into some old people we knew from a few years ago. Marcus met them when the whole DHS thing was happening. Actually, I think you know one of them… (Pause briefly) Do you know a Zeb, Darryl?

DARRYL

 Nope… Doesn’t sound familiar. How do you guys know him? Did he go to Chavez?

Marcus and Ange look at each other, Marcus scratches his head.

 MARCUS

No…he didn’t go to Chavez. But I think you met him while we were still in high school.

(pause, Agnes touches Marcus as if to urge him to continue talking)

MARCUS

Darryl, this guy I met during all the DHS chaos… His name is Zeb. He escaped from Gitmo and sent me a note. The note said that you were still alive, and that he shared a prison cell with you before he escaped. Are you sure you don’t remember someone named Zeb?

Darryl pauses for a long time, and looks straight ahead at the TV for a long time.

DARRYL

They put me in my own cell. It was a way they tortured me…not letting me talk to anyone. The only people I ever saw were the DHS people questioning me, bringing me food or changing my the bandages for my stab wound

 Agnes stands up suddenly as if she just had a great idea.

ANGE

Marcus, do you have your laptop with you? And the flashdrive?

MARCUS

Yeah…why?

ANGE

Let me see it.

(Marcus gives Ange the laptop and the flashdrive. Ange starts typing away. Darryl looks at them, confused)

MARCUS

What are you doing? We’re shouldn’t be looking at this here.

ANGE

You guys better take a look at this….

 (Marcus and Darryl walk over to Ange)

MARCUS

That’s Zeb!

DARRYL

That’s me right after I was stabbed…Where did you guys get this photo?

 ANGE

 …and that’s Zeb holding a knife in his hand.

 The screen will go black and the credits will start rolling.
