Chapter 2

Lost? Where?

-SWA main office-

Jean: It's amazing isn't it, we only had the 1st prototype of the 2nd generation a couple of months ago but now they're already planning a 3rd generation.

Joze: Technology is sure moving faster & faster.

Jean: They fixed those bugs in the 2nd generation by creating this 3rd generation.

Joze: Exactly, there were definitely a lot of flaws in the 2nd generation. Have you heard about Mina and her Peeko?

Jean: Precisely, and there are those other bugs.

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

Alessandro: Petra, we can't be together.

Petrushka: Why?

Alessandro: The agency will not allow it.

Petrushka: Why?

Alessandro: We're just not meant to be.

Petrushka: Why?

Alessandro; That's Why!

Petrushka: Don't yell at me you son of a (barf)

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

Joze: Indeed.

-Enter Priscilla-

Priscilla: Happy Valentines day you two! (hands them chocolates)

Jean: Um… sorry Priscilla, I don't eat chocolates.

Priscilla: Ow, how about you Joze?

Joze: Thanks Priscilla, I'll put your box beside Henr- (Stares)

Jean: What's wrong Joze?

Joze: I have to go.

-Agency Hall-

Joze: How? Why? Where did I drop Henrietta chocolates?

Hillshire: Who's chocolates did you drop?

Joze: Shush Hillshire! I dropped Henrietta's, I can't find it anywhere, I am sure I put it on top of the pile, where could it be?

Hillshire: Have you checked your car?

Joze: Yes, I even went back to the restaurant. It's not there either. What am I going to do?

Hillshire: Beats me, I have other stuff to worry about, namely finding Ella we have an assignment tonight but she's nowhere in sight.

-Mina and Ella enter-

Mina: Ella! Ella! Did you see that? It's Peeko! (run pass)

Ella: What? Where? Slow down Mina. Stop running! (run pass)

Hillshire: Well if you excuse me. (follows Ella)

Joze: (Sigh) What am I going to do?

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

Henrietta: What?

Joze: I'm sorry Henrietta, but I couldn't find them anywhere.

Henrietta: Joze! How could you! I worked so hard to make those.

Joze: I know, I didn't mean to… Henrietta? Please put that down… HENRIETTA!! Bang! Bang!

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

Joze: That did not work out right. But then maybe Henrietta won't be so aggressive over it…

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

Joze: I'm sorry Henrietta, I couldn't find it anywhere.

Henrietta: That's ok Joze.

Joze: Really?

Henrietta: Yeah, it's not your fault, I can just make more.

Joze: Alright, that's good. (leaves the room)

Henrietta: (breaks into tears) why Joze, why can't you love me? Why Joze? Don't you see my feelings for you Joze? I love you… (stops crying). Well if you don't love me back then there is no reason I can't do this. (takes her SIG and leaves the room).

Henrietta: JOZE!!! Bang! Bang!

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

(Hands on his head)

Joze: That came out wrong. I could try lying.

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

Henrietta: You ate it all?

Joze: Yeah, I'm not quite a sweet tooth but as soon as I had one in my mouth I had to keep eating more.

Henrietta: sweet tooth? I made bitter chocolate. I knew you weren't into sweet things.

Joze: Really? Er'm…

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

Joze: Ok… That's the 3rd time I'm getting shot in the head.(approached by Mina)

Mina: Mr. Joze? Have you seen Peeko?

Joze: I am afraid not Mina. I haven't seen any parrots.

Mina: Are you sure? I've been looking for him all day…I think.

Brandon: Mina, please do not bother Mr. Joze.

Mina: But Sir. Brandon I still can't find Peeko.

Brandon: I'm sure he's just nearby; let's look for him together.

Joze: Has she been like that all day?

Brandon: It looks like so. She's not always like this. I guess it was triggered by eating the chocolates Ella gave her.

Joze: Well…speaking about chocolates, have you seen Henrietta?

Brandon: Etta? Why, yes she was making her way to your office last I saw her.

Joze: Okay, thanks Brandon.

-office door-

Joze: (Sigh) Come on Joze, relax, you'll figure a way out.

(opens door)

Henrietta: Joze!

Joze: Umm Etta! You're here! With your guns.

Henrietta: What? These? You told me to bring them to you. You wanted to have them checked right?

Joze: Right, Henrietta, listen, about your chocolates.

Henrietta: Ow, you reminded me. (Hops of chair approaches Joze and hands him a box) Happy Valentine's Day again!

Joze: What?

Henrietta: Didn't you recognize? I took my chocolates back in the car. I saw that my box had the same design as another box so I took it back and rewrapped it.

Joze: (relief) really? And I thought I lost it.

Henrietta: Hee Hee, sorry Joze, I should have let you know first.

Joze: (Hug) I'm sorry Etta but now I kind of forgot to buy you something for valentines.

Henrietta: That's okay, you're happiness is enough of a present for me, happy valentine's Joze.

And that goes with the rest of you Happy Valentines everyone!
