Pinwheel
6 months passed after their last job.
Yusuf is looking out from the window, drinking fresh mint-tea.
The weather is sunny and silent like any other day in May since they settled down the lab in mountains of that isolated area, guarded by armed men. He looks at his watch and recalls the meeting with Cobb.
Yusuf has been searching a cure for instable dreams of Cobb. Mal is still in his regular dreams- not 'job' related.
Hi Yusuf
Selam Cobb. How are the kids?
They are fine. Miles took them to amusement park. I am busy these days.
Yes, you are. Any progress on the project ?
Project? ... ... ha yes I am on it. How are the results ? Are you going to save me from this hell ?
I hope so my friend. The results are not stable, we need people to test on but you know they are normal human with normal dreams not messed up like you.
Right, so ?
Time will help hopefully.( with a smile in his face)
Thanks, see you soon.
Cobb is helpless. His face shadowed, wrinkled and aged more than ever. His only solution is Yusuf.
(questions in his head) Can Yusuf pull it off ? He will ? Can ? How ? What if ?
He shakes his head, he doesn't want to think about "if" and gets into his car.
Back to office.
Yes, sir.
Miles and kids are back from park.
'They tired me' says Miles ' they are more energetic than ever'.
'I know, I have been thinking about it, what do you think about a vacation in Switzerland? You know, it is scenic especially in these months.
'Aren't you coming?'
'No, I am busy.'
' Will she join us?'
'Not yet. Kids are not ready.'
Scene is in a restaurant.
'I can't see you around' says Cobb.
'I am aware. I just come to town for company. My grandsons will not finish my share from the last job' says Arthur.
Phone rings. Cobb answers. His face turns red from anger, his hands are shaky, trembling.
' She has my kids' says Cobb
' Who is she ?'
' I can't tell you.'
' But you promised.'
'Promised what ?'
' To share everything!'
' Fine, she kidnapped my kids in Bern.'
'What? Who is she ? What she wants?'
' She is...'
