Anthony goes to the apartment and tells Shayla to leave the apartment with Kai😱.
[Scene: Shayla’s Apartment – Evening. The air is tense. Shayla is sitting on the couch with Kai, her young son, who is drawing quietly on the floor. There’s a knock on the door. She opens it to find Anthony standing there, urgent and serious.]
Shayla:
Anthony? What are you doing here?
Anthony (calm but firm):
I need you to come with me. You and Kai—right now. Pack a bag.
Shayla (confused):
What? Slow down. What are you talking about?
Anthony:
There’s no time to explain everything. I’ll give you the details on the way, but you’re not safe here. He knows where you are.
Shayla (eyes narrowing):
He? Who told you that? Did something happen?
Anthony (hesitates):
Someone tipped me off. I’ve been watching things closely ever since... you know. I’ve got people keeping an eye. Word came down that Marcus has been asking questions. He knows you're here, Shayla.
Shayla (whispers):
No... no, that’s not possible. I haven’t even used my real name here.
Anthony (softens):
He has his ways. I don’t know how, but I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t sure. Please—grab your things. I’ve got a car downstairs. Somewhere safe.
Shayla (voice shaking):
Anthony, Kai’s finally sleeping through the night. He’s started school. We’ve been stable for the first time in months. I can’t just uproot everything again.
Anthony:
And I hate that I’m asking you to. But what matters more—stability or safety? If Marcus finds you, it’s over, Shay. You know how he is. We can't wait for something bad to happen.
Shayla (tearing up):
I don’t want to run anymore, Anthony. I’m tired. I’m so tired of being afraid.
Anthony (gentle but pressing):
I know. I see it in your eyes every time we talk. But think about Kai. You did all of this for him, didn’t you? Every move, every lie, every night you stayed up wondering if you'd hear footsteps outside the window—wasn’t it all for him?
Shayla (nods slowly, glancing at Kai):
He deserves better. Better than this.
Anthony (lowers his voice):
Exactly. That’s why we leave. Tonight. I’ve got a place two hours out—quiet, no one knows it. Just for a little while, until we figure out the next move.
Shayla (sits down for a moment, holding her head):
God... I thought I was finally getting a second chance.
Anthony:
You are. But sometimes second chances come wrapped in more chaos before they calm down. Come on, Shayla. Let me help you. Please.
Shayla (deep breath, steadying herself):
Okay. Okay. I’ll get our things.
Anthony (relieved):
Good. I’ll keep watch outside the door. Be quick—but not rushed. We’ve got about ten, maybe fifteen minutes before I think someone might start asking questions.
Shayla (calling gently to Kai):
Hey baby, come here. We’re going on a little trip, okay? Just you, me, and Uncle Anthony.
Kai (smiling):
Really? Where?
Anthony (kneeling down beside him):
Somewhere cool. Somewhere with stars so bright, they’ll look like diamonds. You ready for an adventure?
Kai (nods excitedly):
Yeah!
Shayla (half-smiling through tears):
Then let’s go.
