Wednesday 11th October,
3.46am
Dave and Kerry are asleep at their home.
Dave: Who on Earth is calling us at this time in the
morning?
Kerry: It had better not be that Kate woman. I tell
you...
Dave: Hello?
Kate: Dave? Dave, is that you? I must have called the
wrong number - I was trying to phone David. Oops, my
mistake.
Dave: Kate, don't joke around.
Kerry: Well what do you know?
Dave: Goodbye Kate. Do not phone us again at this
time. (Hangs up)
Kerry: If she pulls another stunt like that I'll get
a restraining order or something like that put on her. Crazy
woman.
Dave: She does seem to be going a little over the top
lately.
Kerry: Just a little?
Dave: Well, maybe a lot.
Kerry: Yeah, that's more like it. I don't why you're
such a pushover with her. She may be your work boss but that
doesn't give her a right to push you around like some dog.
It's almost like she's got something over you. Like she's
blackmailing you. (Laughs).
Dave: It certainly isn't that. (Laughs). I'll try not
to let her push her weight around anymore. Anyway, back to
bed, it's not even 4am.
10.45am
Lauren: So how are you this morning? I heard the phone
going off this morning.
Kerry: Yeah, it was her. Kate.
Lauren: You need to get something done about her.
Kerry: Don't worry, I will - especially if she
continues to hassle us.
Lauren: She does sound like quite crazed
Kerry: Oh she is! I've never hated anyone more in my
life.
Lauren: Wow... you must hate her.
Kerry: I do. Anyway, I have some big news. I haven't
told Dave yet - I'm planning on telling him tonight - he's
taking me out for a meal at a really fancy restaurant.
Lauren: What is it? What's the big news?
Kerry: I'm pregnant.
Lauren: Kerry that's brilliant. How long?
Kerry: A month. I can't wait to tell Dave. I also
need to tell him that we need the wedding earlier or later
than originally planned. I don't want to get married while
heavily pregnant. (Kerry's phone rings.) I better get that.
Kerry: Hiya Dave,
what's up?
Dave: Hi Kerry. You know tonight - our meal? We'll
have to cancel... Kate has just dumped a whole load of
assignments on my desk. I'm going to have to pull an all
nighter. There's tonnes to do and it's for the end of
tomorrow.
Kerry: But, Dave. Is there no way out of it?
Dave: No. I've already been warned that I either do
the work or leave.
Kerry: Then you should just quit... again.
Dave: I know, but we need the money right now more
than ever - especially with the wedding and stuff.
Kerry: I had something important to tell you as well.
Dave: Tell me now.
Kerry: I can't - it's big. I'll tell you whenever you
get home.
Dave: I'll be at the pub for lunch... how about then?
Kerry: No, this is big news. I need to tell you quite
a few things and we need to talk them over. It can wait
though. I'll speak to you later, yeah? Bye.
Lauren: That didn't
sound too good.
Kerry: No, it wasn't. Anyway, not to worry. I guess I
have another evening to myself then.
Lauren: Don't be downhearted - you always have to
think of the glass being half full.
Kerry: That's near impossible to do when you know
your fiancé is spending the night with a woman you hate.
Lauren: Look on the bright side - you get stuck with
me in here tonight.
Kerry: I can hardly contain myself (!)
Lauren: You can help look out for a potential
boyfriend for me.
Kerry: What happened to Kelvin?
Lauren: He was a complete jerk. I phoned him last
week and he didn't reply. When he eventually replied all I
got was a "er, I'm not sure we were good together." Idiot.
Kerry: Aww, don't worry too much. I'm sure there will
be someone someday.
12.34pm
Vanessa is at home alone.
Vanessa: Richard, I'm sorry, but I have to do this.
12.34pm
Dave: You haven't seen Kerry going around here, Richard?
Richard: No, haven't seen her at all. I only came in
10 minutes ago though. Is something up?
Dave: No, no. Just needed a chat with her, that's
all.
Richard: Ah, very well. It's unusual to see you
around here at lunchtime anyway.
Dave: I managed to escape the work office for lunch.
Richard: Oh that's right. Vanessa mentioned something
about you and your boss, Kate.
Dave: Yeah, she's a bit dominating and slightly
crazy.
Richard: Yes, I've heard from Vanessa. Hey, what's
her last name? Vanessa mentioned it briefly the other day
and it rang a bell.
Dave: Thomas. Her name's Kate Thomas.
Richard: That does sound familiar. Did she use to
live in Veronaville?
Dave: She comes from that area, yeah. Why? Do you
know her already?
Richard: No, I just remember hearing that name in the
newspapers. Can't remember why though.
