ERICA

Leo? Leo?

Stops near a huge framed picture of her and her family, taken only a couple years ago. Leo is there. Gets emotional. Sits on a chair and looks at it. Smiles. Has tears in the eyes.

ERICA

Leo...

Looks at another framed picture near the family portrait. It's a lot smaller. Gets up and walks to it. It's a framed book. The title is 'Little Feats', by Erica Strange. Gets surprised and excited.

ERICA

Oh my...!

Takes the book out of the frame. Opens it and starts reading it.

ERICA

Oh my God, this is fantastic!

Wow!

Hey, sweetie!

ERICA walks in, wearing fancier clothes than before.

ERICA

Hey, mom!

BARBARA

Is everything OK? Shouldn't you be at work?

ERICA

Work? Oh, yes, I should. I just... Have you heard of Leo?

BARBARA

Leo? He must be at the company. He's coming tonight.

What do you want to talk to him about?

ERICA

Oh, it's... Nothing important.

BARBARA

So, I'm sure it can wait until dinner, right?

ERICA

Erm... Yeah, yeah. So... I should go to... Work.

Wherever my work is.

BARBARA

Sorry?

ERICA

Oh, nothing, nothing.

(Has an idea)

Oh, listen! Do know an alternative path to my work?

It's because I always get caught up in the traffic.

BARBARA

To 'River Rock'? Oh, I have no idea, honey.

I'm a mess when it comes to directions.

ERICA

'River Rock'! Great! Thanks!

BARBARA

What?

Erica goes away.

33 int. River Rock, non fiction department - day

There are people around. BRENT is in the office. ERICA gets out of the elevator and walks in. Sees Brent in Julianne's office.

ERICA

(Bothered)

Oh, seriously?

Brent notices her. Gets suspicious. Gets up and approaches her.

BRENT

(Provocative)

Oh, look who is here! The not-so-humble queen revisits her origins. Isn't that so lovely and respectful?

ERICA

(Tries to ignore the provocation)

Brent.

BRENT

Or maybe the queen is here just to stole again one of my non fiction ideas,

so that she may twist it into a book of fiction and launch it first than me.

And then Frank Galvin won't approve my book because it is too similar to yours.

Am I right, stranger Erica in Wonderland?

ERICA

What?

BRENT

Transforming a book into something that it's not...

That's the only kind of transvestism that I profusely disapprove.

ERICA

When did I do that?

BRENT

Oh, don't play dumb with me, honey.

Just get your ass and your D&G skirt out of here.

ERICA

Brent! You have no reason to attack me.

The way you stole Julianne's place was despicable.

BRENT

Oh, yeah? But you accepted my help to bring you back here.

Remember our talk at the 'Festival Authors', a couple years ago?

So... Who's the traitor here?

Erica is speechless.

ERICA

I... am sorry, I guess.

BRENT

Just leave.

Pause. Erica goes back to the elevator.

BRENT

Oh, BTW, your feet don't deserve to be in those

Christian Louboutin shoes.

The doors of the elevator close.

34 int. river rock, fiction department - day

There's people around. ERICA gets out of the elevator, thoughtful. Looks around. Smiles. Approaches to the secretary.

ERICA

Hey!

The secretary gives her some dossiers.

ERICA

Thanks!

SECRETARY

Mr. Galvin is waiting for you.

ERICA

Frank? Frank Galvin?

SECRETARY

Scott.

ERICA

Oh.

Erica walks to her office.

ERICA

(Mumbles)

That would be weird... Talking to a dead man.

SCOTT is walking in the office. He's talking on the phone. Erica prepares to open the door. Stops and listens to his conversation.

SCOTT

(Desperate)

Dude, forget about the poison!

I'm telling you, man! If this shit blows up in my face...

Erica gets suspicious.

SCOTT

Okay, I'll wait. But don't ask me to trust your guts.

I only trust them enough to take them out of your body

if this plan goes wrong.

Later.

Scott disconnects the call. Erica decides to walk in.

ERICA

Scott.

SCOTT

The Strange! How's it hanging?

ERICA

I'm... Good. And you? What do you want?

SCOTT

Just wanna let you know about something.

ERICA

(Suspicious)

Okay...

Scott sits in Erica's chair. Points to the other chair.

SCOTT

Sit.

ERICA

(Uncomfortable)

O...kay. What is it about?

SCOTT

It's about madame Kennedy.

It seems that he went to my father, again,

saying that you stole...

ERICA

That I stole his idea for a book.

SCOTT

Exactly.

ERICA

Yeah, he told me.

SCOTT

And my old man wants to believe him.

You know that you earned back your place only because of him...

Or her... Or.. Whatever.

ERICA

Yes, but, I'm here. I'm the editorial director of fiction.

And I believe that I worked very hard to earn this place in just...

two or three years.

SCOTT

Yeah, yeah, but you also had my help.

Oh, but don't get me wrong, Mr. Galvin promotes people based on merit.

Anyways, I just want to tell you that the same way that

I helped you get here, I can undo it.

ERICA

I'm sorry?

Scott leans forward.

SCOTT

If the bomb blows up,

I want to make sure that you're on my side.

Erica gets suspicious and thoughtful.

SCOTT

And yes, this is about the conversation

I was having on the phone, stranger.

Scott winks at Erica. Gets up and goes away. Erica gets shocked and confused. Gasps.
