Emotions of Chemistry
Scene Twenty
Nat: Stephen and Natalie were still in the lab talking with Eva about Joey poisoning himself.
Eva: Maybe Joey felt guilty about poisoning Annie.
(Stephen glared at Eva)
Stephen: We don't go by 'maybe's' in our work!
Natalie: We worked out though that Annie was poisoned recently.
(Stephen looked back at Natalie)
Stephen: Annie must have been poisoned after Joey's death.
Eva: So Joey must have poisoned Mary and felt guilty afterwards.
Natalie: Still the same question, who poisoned Annie and why?
Stephen: I still think Wayne is involved in this.
Natalie: Wayne may have found out about what Joey was doing and got his revenge.
Stephen: Why would Wayne poison Annie though?
Natalie: He must have wanted Annie to suffer as Mary suffered.
Stephen: Wayne did get violent towards Annie in the waiting room.
Eva: Wayne hit Annie!
Stephen: He just pushed her, but hard enough for her to fall over.
Eva: Is there no sign of Wayne yet?
Stephen: No, so it seems to me, like he must have something to hide.
(Stephen's phone started ringing)
Stephen: Conner!
Frank: I've found Wayne.
Stephen: Where was he?
Frank: He came back to his room as I was leaving.
Stephen: I'm on my way.
Frank: We have both just arrived at the hospital… Wayne is just going into Intensive Care as we speak.
Stephen: What happened?
Frank: When he saw me, he took off running but didn't get far before he collapsed. Wayne started complaining about his legs.
Stephen: Are you saying Wayne has this as well?
Frank: Looks that way… Miles is just making him comfortable!
Stephen: I'm on my way.
(Stephen put his phone away and looked at Natalie)
Stephen: What we just said, might have just gone out the window.
Natalie: Wayne has this as well.
(Stephen nods head)
Eva: One other thing, what has Wayne's parents got to do with all this?
Stephen: Our best bet at the moment is to work out what this drug is that they made.
Natalie: And what's in this drug.
Stephen: I'll have to leave you to continue without me.
(Natalie nods her head as Stephen stood up and took off his lab coat)
Stephen: I'll be back as soon as I can.
(Stephen walked out of the lab as Eva turns to face Natalie)
Eva: So are going to give me the gossip?
Natalie: What gossip?
(Natalie starts to look through the microscope)
Eva: Don't give me that. You know very well what I mean.
Natalie: Not a clue.
(Eva saw Natalie grinning as she continued to look through the microscope)
Eva: Oh I knew it… So who made the first move?
(Natalie looked at Eva)
Natalie: I'm not telling you anything.
Eva: Oh come on… I bet it was you.
Natalie: Now why would you think that?
Eva: Because Stephen is as stubborn as you can get, but you on the other hand…
Stephen: … I heard that!
(Eva turns around to see Stephen standing in the doorway)
Eva: In a nice way of course.
(Stephen grins at Eva)
Natalie: I thought you were going to check on Wayne?
Stephen: I was, until I heard Eva talking about us two.
Eva: You can't blame me; I've seen the way you two look at each other.
Stephen: It's still none of your business.
Natalie: Go and help Wayne, that's what is more important here.
(Stephen smiled at Natalie and gave Eva a look and turned and walked out as Eva burst out laughing)
Natalie: Shh, he might still be listening.
Eva: I can't help it.
(Natalie started laughing along with Eva)
Natalie: You will get me in his bad books next.
Eva: Never, he dotes over you.
Natalie: I wouldn't be so sure of that.
Eva: Stephen always gives in with you. You just can't do anything wrong.
Natalie: He still acts the same way with me too.
Eva: So come on tell me the rest of the story.
Natalie: There is nothing else to tell you.
Eva: Don't worry Stephen must of gone by now.
Natalie: Don't be so sure of that.
Eva: If he was still here, he would have bitten my head off by now.
Natalie: Still not telling you… Stephen is right it's between me and him.
Eva: Don't turn all stubborn on me as well. I couldn't cope with the both of you like that.
Natalie: Me stubborn! Can you really see that happening?
Eva: Not at all, so tell me.
(Natalie shakes her head)
Eva: You will burst to tell me one day.
Natalie: This is just the beginning of us.
Eva: No it isn't, you have both been eyeing each other up for years.
(Natalie glared at Eva)
Natalie: No we haven't.
Eva: You could have fooled me! Right I had better get going, some of us don't have time for romance.
(Eva smiled at Natalie and she smiled back)
Eva: When this is all over and we get back, I want to hear the gossip and am not taking no for an answer.
(Eva turned around and walked out as Natalie slowly shook her head)
