MEETING AMY
MODESTO SHERIFF'S OFFICE-DETECTIVE SHELLY SMITH'S OFFICE-MONDAY-8 AM
DETECTIVE SMITH PACING, LOOKING NERVOUS
SMITH
"I can't figure out what to do with this?"
DETECTIVE BROWN
"On one hand, maybe you've got to figure out that they had prior knowledge, and on the other hand, maybe you shouldn't worry about it, cause there's a lot of cases pending here, plenty to do, plenty to get yourself absorbed in."
SMITH
"That's true, but it's hard not knowing if someone is looking over your back or not?"
BROWN
"They will always be looking over your back, so what is it that you wanna do?"
SMITH
"Scream, hide my ass somewhere, where else is there, I know it's only a matter of time before they come looking for me!"
PHONE RINGS, DETECTIVE BROWN ANSWERS
BROWN
"Modesto Detective Unit, Brown speaking."
DETECTIVE LARRY BANKS, EUGENE SHERIFF'S OFFICE
BANKS
"Good morning Detective Brown...Larry Banks, Eugene Sheriff's, we had a report of a sighting last night of a wanted, one Robert Cyncl at a truck stop just south of here...so I just wanted to let you know, we're thinking that he's up and on the move!"
BROWN
"How did he get away?"
BANKS
"Guess the TV tipped him off, cause witnesses said that when he saw his image, he took off with some food through the exit in the rear of the kitchen...nobody saw what direction he went, probably up in the woods somewhere!"
BROWN
"OK, let me know or my chief...Detective Shelly Smith know of any updates."
BANKS
"We'll do...we also have the Highway Patrol on alert and Agent Perry of the Oregon division of the FBI coordinating a watch zone as we speak, but you know them federal boys...by the time they get everything up and running, Cyncl could be anywhere!"
BROWN
"Yea, sometimes those guys do more harm than good...well, okay keep me posted, goodbye!"
HANGING UP PHONE, TURNING TO SMITH
BROWN
"Well, that was interesting, witnesses saw Cyncl getting food at a truck stop, took off into the woods, when he saw himself on TV...I guess he knows we're looking for him!"
SMITH
"Someone like him, can buy his escape, when we went to freeze his account, he had so many set up...different names, groups...probably aliases, and we're not even sure how much cash he's carrying, so all we can do is to just wait!"
BROWN
"We'll get this guy, but we need to be proactive instead of worrying about affiliation, let's approach this first...hey, it could even look like an accident!"
SMITH
"Your a lot slicker than I thought...go to him first, like a sting...once exposed, he won't have anyplace to go, he won't have anyplace to go, but there is one little problem?"
BROWN
"What's that?"
SMITH
"I don't have any clue who anybody is...look, John Heinz is near brain dead, Cyncl's running for his life, they...whoever they is, can pick and choose whoever they want to do they're dirty work...I'm clueless here!"
BROWN
"That's why they call us detectives...just follow the money, something will pop up, trust me!"
SMITH
"Thanks for reminding me and being a friend!"
BROWN
"No problem...no problem at all, glad I could be there for you...now calm down, your starting to make me nervous!"

CYNCL
"Would you listen for a second...I'm sorry you've got us all measured and figured out...but really, your wrong, we are all just trying to make the best out of our situations, don't be jumping on my emotional state to justify yourself, we're in the same boat...we'll sort of."
AMY
"What in the hell is that suppose to mean?"
CYNCL
"It means, I was asking a social question and you blew it all out of proportion based on some assumption that I can't even identify with...you assumed wrong...understand?"
AMY
"So, what was I suppose to think...do you have a boyfriend and if you want to know the truth, I'm bi-sexual, but I have been known to drift here and there, okay?"
CYNCL
"Well...I'm happy you know yourself, but don't go around thinking you've got a guy figured out based on one question!"
AMY
"Poor timing, that's all I see...look, I'm a girl, I needed gas, I've got shit going on in my life, now I've got some gas, thank you very much, and now you want a piece of ass, it's not too hard to put two and two together...alright?"
