Act 4: Leaving For The Airport

Morgan and Anna are waiting outside of Buy More in Burbank. Next to them are several suitcases.

Morgan demands: Where are they?

Anna responds: Jeff and Lester should be here soon.

Morgan says: We're already late. We should have gone half and hour ago.

Anna insists: We'll be on time.

Morgan states: Chuck might go before we get there.

Anna responds: Not Chuck. He'll wait.

Suddenly a van pulls into the car park. Lester is in the driver's seat, with the window down.

Anna shouts at Lester: What took you so long?

Lester responds: Sorry, Anna. Jeff is still hung over.

Anna interrupts: Where is he then?

Lester says: In the back of the van. It took me all morning to get him there. He weighed a ton.

Morgan frantically opens the back door to the van. Jeff is sprawled out in the back, deeply asleep.

Morgan asks Lester: Where do we put our stuff?

Lester responds: Anywhere. Jeff won't mind.

Morgan says: OK.

Morgan starts piling the suit cases in. Some of the cases fall on top of Jeff. Morgan climbs in. Anna goes around the passenger side of the van. She opens the door and a pair of underwear fall out.

Anna wrinkles her nose saying: Ooh, yuck.

Lester responds: Yeah. That's Jeff's gear. You might want to check where you are sitting.

Anna gingerly climbs into the passenger seat.

Morgan asks: How soon can we get to the airport?

Lester says: Uh, this thing only goes at most 40 miles per hour though.

Morgan notes: That doesn't give us much time.

Lester says: Right then. We better get going.

The van accelerates and pulls out of the Buy More car park.

Act 5: Arriving At The Airport

Elle, Devon and Chuck are at the departure lounge. Elle is scanning issued tickets. Devon is looking through various pamphlets.

Devon says to Elle: Alright. We can do white water rafting.

Elle responds: You got to be kidding. Not on our honeymoon. I want to laze around the pool drinking in the sun and the occasional daiquiri.

Devon responds: Yes, honey.

Chuck smirks: Why didn't Dad see you off?

Elle responds: He said goodbye at home. He gets nervous in public places.

Chuck says: Yeah, I noticed.

Devon asks: What about abseiling?

Elle responds: No! So Chuck, what will you do while we are away?

Chuck says: I'll look for a place to stay.

Elle asks: You don't have to. It's great having you.

Chuck responds: It's best that I move out so that you and Devon have more space.

Elle says: Ok – on one condition. The place you find must be close by.

Chuck responds: Agreed.

Devon points out: There's Sarah.

Sarah waves to Elle as she comes across. Elle smiles back. Sarah is looking slightly tired.

Chuck smiles: Oh, I thought you might not turn up.

Elle asks: How are you today?

Sarah responds: Better. I must have eaten something last night that I didn't agree with.

Elle says: Thank you for coming to see Devon and myself off.

Sarah says: Casey's at the airport too.

Elle asks: Where is John then?

Sarah points back from the way she came.

Sarah then says: He's that way. Casey would like to be here but he's meeting a prospective employer that is flying down to meet him. Casey is very nervous so he asked for me to come along for support. I've taken the opportunity to come and see you go.

Elle smiles: Wish John all the best.

Sarah states: I will. I better get back though as I think his employer is arriving soon.

Devon says: Thanks for coming.

Sarah says: I hope you and Elle have a wonderful honeymoon.

Sarah gives a smile to Devon and hugs Elle.

Chuck asks: Do you want me to come along?

Sarah says: No sweetie. Make sure your sister and brother-in-law leave. I'll see you later on tonight.

Sarah starts to walk off heading in the direction where Casey was to be.

Chuck quickly says to Elle: Elle, I'll just be back in a moment.

Chuck runs off after Sarah.

Chuck touches Sarah's hand: How's Bryce?

Sarah responds with a sorrowful tone: Not good. He's still incapicitated.

Chuck asks: Can't the doctors do something?

Sarah says: They don't know when or if he will come out of the coma.

Chuck asks: So what will happen to him?

Sarah responds: The agency will transport him back to Washington for intensive medical treatment. I just hope it helps.

Chuck says: I'm so sorry.

Sarah responds: I know. I've really got to get back to Casey.

Chuck asks: Casey's not here for an interview is he? It's another mission?

Sarah responds: Chuck, you know I can't tell you.

Chuck quickly offers: Maybe I can help.

Sarah counters: No, Chuck. You are out of it now. Let it stay that way.

Chuck asks: Are you sure?

Sarah says: Don't worry, we will be fine.

Sarah takes his hand and gently squeezes it. She then continues on her way. Chuck returns to both Elle and Devon.

Elle says: You know, I really hate waiting to board. It feels like it takes forever.

Chuck suggests: Let's get something to eat or drink.

Devon: That would be awesome.

Act 6: The Journey So Far.

The van is puttering along the free way. Smoke is starting to issue out from the front of the van.

Morgan asks: What's wrong with the stupid van?

Lester says: I don't know. It was a little flat yesterday. However Jeff replaced the battery with a good one taken from one of the Nerd Herd cars.

Morgan asks: He did what?

Lester states: Oh. Don't worry. Emmett will never notice. He hasn't in the past.

Anna points out: Nothing is safe around you guys.

Morgan says: Good lord. Does the van even taken those batteries?

Lester responds: No idea. Jeff lost the manual years ago.

Morgan says: I hope the van doesn't explode.

Lester points out: Don't worry. There's a extinguisher somewhere in the back.

Anna says: This is a death trap.

More dark smoke bellows out of the van as it continues along on the freeway.
