(Cut. Scene. A big avenue. You see a skinny, white, dark haired girl, around 11 wandering alone, she's like lost and confused, and she's a little dirty so you see she had been on the streets for some time now)
Girl (she's thinking) Oh my God! How did I get lost, I want mama and papa! I have no idea how to get home, and I'm so hungry, I can't keep being on the streets anymore, I don't like it. I've already spent my pennies by calling home and nobody answered me, I'm lost! What do I do? (stop thinking looks across the street and there it is, she says this out loud) I'll go the firefighters station!
(Time lapse. The entrance of the firefighters station. She's looking inside, shyly)
Fireman: (he sees the girl by the door, he's eating a sandwich) Hey little one, what are you doing outside? (the girl doesn't answer) Are you lost? You look like that! (the girls stares at his sandwich) Are you hungry? (the girl nods) Ohh, come on, come inside please (she hesitates)
Girl: Is Mr. Matthews here?
Fireman: Mr. Matthews? I don't know anyone here by that name, but please come inside, I'll give you a sandwich (the girl smiles and gets inside)
(There are many more firemen. They see the first one getting inside with the girl and there is also a plate full of sandwiches)
Fireman 2: (to the first one when he gets inside) Hey Daniels! Too young for you don't you think?
Daniels: Oh please Peter! I just found her outside, she seems like lost or something. Come on honey take one
(The girl heads happily towards the table and stars eating a sandwich, she seems she hadn't ate for many days)
Fireman 3: You were hungry, weren't you, girl?
Girl: Pretty much!
Fireman 4: Are you lost? (she doesn't answer and keeps eating)
Daniels: I just ask her that, she seems to refuse to answer. But she did ask me about some Mr. Matthews, though I never heard of him before
Peter: Mr. Matthews? Mr. Matthews? It does ring some bells, but I don't know
Fireman 5: (he's an old man) Yes! I remember that name. The Mr. Matthews was a friend of mine; he worked here, long time ago. He was a great man, a very good one, he cared about people so much, in the fires he was always willing to risk his life to help others, Oh I did miss him now that I remember.
Fireman 3: What happened to him, why did he stopped working here, if he liked it so much?
Fireman 5: Oh, it was terrible. He-he died, long time ago.
Girl: (she chocks with the sandwich when she hears this) DIED- DIED? That's not true! YOU'RE LYING, YOU'RE LYING! (She jumps off her chair and starts crying and yelling)
Daniels: Easy girl? What's wrong with you? Did you know him?
Girl: HE'S NOT DEAD! NOT DEAD! (she continues crying hard, Daniels tries to calm her down, but she runs out of the fireman's station, and everyone stays there surprised so nobody follows her)
Fireman 2: Oh my god! What was that all about?
Fireman 3: Who knows! Teenagers!
Daniels: Yep, but I don't know, she seemed…lost!
Peter: Yeah, but what can we do, nothing!
Fireman 4: Yes, you're right! So what happened with this man? Was he sick? Did he have a family?
Fireman 5: It was a shame, a big truck hit his car, the whole family was in there, he and his wife died, and they had a ……little girl
Fireman 2: A little girl? Did she die too?
(Fireman 5 doesn't answers he's lost in his thoughts)
Fireman 4: Hello? Are you in there? What happened to the little girl?
Fireman 5: What? Oh sorry I got distracted. No she didn't die, thank God, miraculously, nobody knew how, she jumped out of the car in the accident, just before it got caught on fire, and she survived with just some scratches…but totally alone… an orphan…… Now that I come to think of it, that little girl resembles Matthews' daughter a lot
Peter: Oh, she brought you back some memories, hu?
Fireman 5: No, she looks exactly like her!
Fireman 2: What do you mean?
Fireman 5: (he's thinking) No, no way…Paige…Matthews' girl, was 16 when the accident happened, that's too much bigger than that girl, besides! Paige now must be already a grow up, in her 20's or something
Fireman 4: Yeah, Jack, you must be confused, maybe you thought of her, and saw that little girl and that reminded you of her
Jack: Yes, you're probably right!
Fireman 3: Hey, that's a sad story, what happened to her?
Jack: I don't know actually, I hope she did fine, she was a great kid, Matthews brought her from time to time on father-children's day, I didn't threat her too much, but my kids play along with her well, and when I saw her with her father, I saw what a great kid she was.
Fireman 4: Okay, well come on let's get to work if we wanna get paid
Jack: (all the firemen had stood up) Yeah, we better (he sights and stands up too)
