Noah is pacing nervously. He seems very upset. After a moment he approaches Connor. Jude is behind him.
"Connor, there's no one on earth who'd like it to be true more than me, but you've got to be rational about this. I understand your desire to hold on to Jude. I really do my friend, but this... this is absurd." Noah tells Connor.
"It was real, Noah. She was real."
"Listen to him, Noah, goddamn it. Connor needs some support here." Jude says.
"Connor, you're a grown ass man, who is very successful. How can you believe some fortune teller from Brooklyn...?"
"Noah, she was in touch with him."
"I don't believe it, Connor. Not for a minute." Noah snorts.
"Come on, Noah. Open your mind." Jude tells Noah, but it doesn't work.
Noah sits down beside Connor.
"Noah, she knew things."
"What kind of things?"
"I told you, the picture in Reno, the starfish... damn it, Noah." Connor sniffles. "She said Jude knew who killed him. That the murder was set up. But I feel like the death was meant for me."
"Oh, boy. This is getting deranged. We're going off the deep end here." Noah replies.
"Give Noah the address, Con."
"She had a name, an address – Brandon Foster, 321 Prospect Place. She said that he had Jude's keys and my wallet."
Jude smiles. Noah stands up. His voice begins to rise.
"This is sick. This is really sick. How can you swallow this crap? Who knows if this guy exists? Maybe she's just setting someone up. You never know, Con."
"That's what I have to find out." Connor says earnestly.
"F-find out? W-what are you t-talking ab-a-about?" Noah asks nervously.
"Jude wants me to go to the police." Connor says and Noah starts laughing.
"Jude wants you to go to the police? Connor! Jesus! Are you outta your goddamn mind? What are you gonna tell 'em? 'Some storefront psychic's been getting messages from the dead?' Do you know how that sounds? You're talking ghosts here, for God's sake."
Connor looks suddenly vulnerable.
"I'm sorry. This stuff just really gets to me." Noah says.
"You don't believe me." Connor says dejectedly. "You don't believe any of this, do you?" He says trying to keep his tears at bay.
"I'm trying to, but... Look, if it'll make you sleep any better, I'll check it out, okay? Now why don't you go to bed? Try and get some sleep." Noah says half heartedly.
Connor looks at Noah, annoyed. Jude knows that Connor doesn't believe him for a second.
