Speak Pt. 1

SPEAK

Act 1 Scene 1

Be You

On a fine, sunny morning, you are sitting in your office, doodling on your desk. Your name is _____. You are a professional interrogator, or as others know, a police detective. You're nothing really special, actually.

With nothing to do, you feel bored. Very bored. You're used to this though; it's not like everybody needs someone to make someone talk every day. You sighed.

What to do, what to do, what to d-

Oh, the door opened. It seems like someone needs your help!

=> Help the person.

You decide to help the person, but first, you ask their name. How can you decide to help someone without knowing their name?

"Hi," the person greeted. "My name is Jane. I need your help with someone… Someone who won't speak up…"

"Well then," you smiled," You came to the right person."


You follow Jane after talking to her. It seems that she is also an investigator, but she needs your help. The person she is interrogating won't reveal anything. You tell her that's the point of interrogating. You make the person tell the stuff since they are supposed to not tell anything. She sighs and says that she is new on the job and this is her first time interrogating someone. You pat her on the back and say that it's alright. It can be very frustrating on the first time.

Jane leads you down a dark hallway of jail cells. As you pass through the doors, you can hear jailbirds begging.

"Food..."

"Water..."

"Toilet paper…"

Eventually, Jane and you reached a door isolated from the rest at the end of the hallway. Nervously, Jane reached for the door knob.

"Are you sure about this?" Jane asked. "He's pretty crazy."

"Aw, shucks!" You laughed. "Are you kidding me? I'm sure I've met crazier guys than this one!"

Jane sighed. "Alright, but if you do get hurt or killed, don't tell me I didn't warn you."

Jane opened the door. You happily entered. It was dark, and you can barely see anything.

Suddenly, you heard the door slam quickly behind you.

"I'm sorry, _____!" Jane cried.  "But I don't think you, or anybody, is going to survive with him in the same room!"

"What?!" You screamed. Suddenly, you heard footsteps coming towards you. You turned behind you and ran towards the door.

"Jane! Open the door!" You pleaded. No one answered.

You turned around again. The footsteps are getting closer, and you hear snarling towards you.

Shit shit shit shiiiiit! You thought.

"JANE, YOU TRAITOR!" You screamed.

All of a sudden, someone pinned you down to the floor, and you were met with entrancing purple eyes.
