William’s face goes pale.

WILLIAM (into phone) What do you want?

INT. THE BOOKSHOP - DAY

Sarah is behind the counter, reading a book. John is stocking shelves.

JOHN: Hey, Sarah. How's it going?

SARAH: It's going okay. I'm just trying to finish this book before we close.

JOHN: What are you reading?

SARAH: It's called "The Nightingale." It's really good.

JOHN: I'll have to check it out.

SARAH: You should. It's about two sisters in France during World War II. It's really moving.

JOHN: Sounds interesting.

There's a pause.

JOHN (CONT'D): So, I was thinking about doing a promotion for the shop. Maybe we could offer a discount on all books by female authors for Women's History Month.

SARAH: That's a great idea. We could also do a book club or something.

JOHN: Yeah, that would be cool.

SARAH: I'll start putting together a list of books by female authors.

JOHN: Awesome. I'll start working on the promotion.

SARAH:Sounds good.

FADE OUT.

EXT. The Havenfield

Jack is visiting his parents who live in Havenfield? They moved there a few years ago after they retired and he hasn’t had a chance to visit them yet. He’s excited to see them and spend some time in the town.

FADE IN:

Emily: “I’m so glad we moved to The Haven. It’s such a beautiful place and the people are so friendly.”

Jack: “Yeah, it’s great. I love working with wood and there’s so much inspiration here.”

Emily: “How’s your business going?”

Jack: “It’s going well. I’ve got a few orders lined up and I’m hoping to get some more soon.”

Jack: “That’s great news. And how’s your job at the hospital?”

Emily: “It’s going well too. Everyone there is really nice and I’m learning a lot.”

Jack: “I’m so proud of you. You’re doing such a great job.”

Jack: “Thanks, Emily. I couldn’t have done it without you.”

Emily: “We make a great team, don’t we?”

Jack: “We sure do.”

INT. CARPENTRY SHOP - DAY

*Customer*: Hi Jack! How are you doing?

*Jack*: I’m doing great! Thanks for asking. How can I help you today?

*Customer*: I was wondering if you could make me a custom table for my dining room.

*Jack*: Absolutely! I’d be happy to help you with that. What kind of table are you looking for?

*Customer*: I was thinking something rustic and farmhouse-style.

*Jack*: Great! I have just the thing. I’ve been working on a new design that I think you’ll love. Let me show you some pictures.

*Customer*: Wow, that looks amazing! How long will it take to make?

*Jack*: It usually takes me about two weeks to complete a project like this. But I’m pretty busy with other orders right now, so it might take a little longer.

*Customer*: That’s okay. I don’t mind waiting for quality work.

*Jack*: Great! I’ll get started on it right away. Thanks for choosing Jack’s Carpentry!

CUT TO:

INT. William Thompson’s office.

Sarah: William, I have some bad news.

William: What’s wrong?

Sarah: Your fraudulent activities have been exposed. The police are on their way here right now.

William: What? That’s ridiculous! I haven’t done anything wrong!

Sarah: Don’t lie to me, William. We both know what you’ve been doing.

William: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Sarah: You’ve been embezzling money from the company for months now. We have the evidence right here.

William: I…I don’t know what to say.

Sarah: You need to leave town, William. Now.

William: What about my business? What about everything I’ve worked for?

Sarah: It’s all gone, William. You’ve ruined everything. Now go before the police get here.

William: Fine. I’ll go. But I’ll be back. You haven’t seen the last of me.

INT. BAKERY

**Maria:** Luna, I’m so glad you could come in today. We’re really short-staffed.

**Luna:** Of course! I’m always happy to help out.

**Maria:** You’re a lifesaver. We have a lot of orders to fill today, and I don’t know how we would have managed without you.

**Luna:** Don’t worry about it. I love working here, and I’m happy to help out whenever I can.

**Maria:** You’re such a hard worker. I don’t know what we would do without you.

**Luna:** Thanks, Maria. That means a lot to me.

Sarah: *sighs* I’m so tired.

Maria: What’s wrong, Sarah?

Sarah: I’m just exhausted. I’ve been working so much lately.

Maria: You’re always working so hard. You’re such a good mother.

Sarah: *smiles* Thank you. I just want to make sure my kids have everything they need.

Maria: You’re doing a great job. Don’t worry so much.

Sarah: *sighs* I know. It’s just hard sometimes.

Maria: I know it is. But you’re strong. You can handle anything that comes your way.

EXT: Jack and Emily Smith’s House

Emily: “Jack, look! The door’s been forced open!” Jack: “Oh my god! Let’s go inside and see if anything’s missing.” Emily: “Wait, did you hear that?” Jack: “Hear what?” Emily: “It sounded like someone’s upstairs.” Jack: “Stay here. I’ll go check it out.” Emily: “No! Jack, don’t leave me here alone!” Jack: “It’s okay. I’ll be right back.”

(Jack slowly makes his way up the stairs. As he reaches the top, he sees a shadowy figure standing in their bedroom.)

Jack: “Who are you? What are you doing here?” Shadowy Figure: (turns around and points a gun at Jack) “Don’t move!”

(Emily hears the commotion and runs up the stairs to see what’s happening.)

Emily: “Jack! What’s going on?” Shadowy Figure: (turns around and points the gun at Emily) “Stay back!”

(Just as the figure is about to pull the trigger, there is a loud bang from downstairs.)

Shadowy Figure: (turns around and runs out of the room)

(Emily and Jack run downstairs to see what happened.)

George: “Are you guys okay?” Emily: “George! Thank god you’re here!” Jack: “What happened?” George: “I heard the commotion and came over to see if everything was okay.”

(Emily and Jack are relieved that they are safe, but they are also shaken up by what just happened.)
