She is my wife
(Alex walks down the corridor of a hotel and stops at the front of a room then he knocks. A white woman in early sixties opens the door)
Alice: (smiling) you must be Alexander
Alex: yes, nice to meet you Alice (smiling)
Alice: please come on in (Alex enters and Alice closes the door) please sit (Alex sit on the chair while Alice sits on the sofa facing the Alex’s chair)
Alex: how was your trip?
Alice: it was fine
Alex: about the case?
Alice: I am ready to help you but everything lies on Rere
Alex: Rere?
Alice: oh, you must know her as Lolu Agbaje
Alex: yes
Alice: she changed her name, now we call her Rere
Alex; that is good, how is she by the way?
Alice: well your friend is no longer the Lolu you know
Alex: of course, am sure she will be a grown woman now
Alice: I am not talking about the physical aspect, am talking about her emotional state
Alex: she is sweetest girl I have ever known, to what extent can she change?
Alice: her father’s death got to her and she wants revenge
Alex: but she said she didn’t see the man who killed her father
Alice: she lied, she saw her father murdered
Alex: oh my God, that is a terrible thing for a child to see. Did she tell you who did it?
Alice: no she did not tell no matter how hard I pressed, she wants her revenge
Alex: the more the reason why we need to take this case to court, where is she now?
Alice: I don’t know where she is right now but what I do know is, she is in Nigeria
Alex; we need to find her and get her back down
Alice: I have tried all I could, I came here to see if you can get through to her. All she has ever done is prepare for her revenge. Everything she does has a purpose, if she is eating, it is for a reason that relates to her revenge. I am sure that she been in Nigeria means her revenge is in play
Alex: we have to find her, I will call some people that will help with that
Alice: I really hope this works because Rere Shapiro won’t stop until she gets what she wants
Alex: (confuse) Rere Shapiro?
Alice: what is it?
Alex: not Rere Agbaje but Rere Shapiro
Alice: David and I gave her our last name
Alex: oh my God
FLASHBACK (TWO AND HALF YEAR AGO)
INT. ALEX’S HOUSE, LAGOS- EVENING
(Alex and Rere sits in his living room as they cuddle each other)
Alex: no but then, what are your dreams if it is more than one
Rere: I have no dreams
Alex: come on, everybody have a dream. Even though you bounce from one job to another, I am sure you have a dream. So tell me
Rere: it is childish
Alex: still (pause) I want to hear it
Rere: (facial expression turned serious as she sigh deeply) to kill the man who killed my father
Alex: (his smile fades) what
Rere: (smiling) I told you it was childish
Alex: no it is not, how did your parent die?
Rere: my mom died in a plane crash when I was five and my father was killed when I was 9
Alex: (with remorse and a sorry facial expression) I am so sorry (Rere smiles sadly) you said you want to kill the man who murdered your father which means you must know the person
Rere: it was his best friend
Alex: (shock) oh my God, are you sure?
Rere: as sure as I am about my name because it happened right before my eyes. I watched my father take his last breath hiding behind a tree
BACK TO PRESENT
INT. ONE HOTEL IN LAGOS- MORNING
Alice: (sees his expression) are you okay?
Alex: (picks his phone and click some button on it then gives the phone to Alex) is this your daughter?
Alice: (collects the phone) yes, you know her?
Alex: yes, (pause) she is my wife
