INT. BATHROOM – MORNING

SIMON SPENCER is getting ready in his bathroom. He’s tying his tie. THE CAMERA SHOWS HIM through the mirror.

SIMON (Internal diegetic)
My name is Simon James Spencer and there are a few things you need to know about me. I’m 20 years old. I’m a mild insomniac. I watch far too much television and I never could have imagined how much my life would change the very moment I set eyes on her. Scarlett. The only reason I still work for that vile man. The deals and the threats… being a part of this gang was never in my plan, I hate it. But I would do anything for her. She is my life now. This is my life now.

EXT. DRIVEWAY – EARLY AFTERNOON

Simon gets out of his car and walks towards the front door of the house NERVOUSLY. He’s about to knock on the door but DAVID ‘PIDGE’ PIDGEON opens it before he has chance.

PIDGE (MOCK SERIOUS)
You’re late.

SIMON (JOKINGLY)
Shut up.

CAMERA FOLLOWS THEM INTO THE HALLWAY. Simon pushes Pidge into the house JOKINGLY. They do their secret handshake showing they are best friends. CAMERA IS INFRONT of the 2 characters and TRACKS BACKWARDS into the living room. THE CAMERA SPINS AND ZOOMS into MIKE STEELE and his dog AUDREY. The dog barks at Simon ANGRILY.

MIKE
Calm down Audrey.
