-So you are saying she's being trapped inside her own house?

-No Selina. Layla's..just taking a break.

-That's really a dumb way to put it Jerry.

-It's just temporary.

-Bullshit!

-...

-Break from what? Work? Don't give me that. Jerry she doesn't even give a damn about this place.

-...You know things are not like those sweet or sour little pieces of stories you just cook inside your head Sel.

-At least I don't picture them to be sad and pathetic.

-(sighs)...You are a piece of work Selina.

-...

-Why are you so damn agitated today?? Did something happened with your flatmate?

-Just give me her address. I'll go talk to her parents.

-I wanna apologise..to all of them at least.

-Layla has no grudge against you. You know that.

-Oh; great. So then Jerry, can I leave you with this one?

-..

-Jerry?

-No.

-..What? Why's that?

-...I agreed to help you with the investigation. But..I cannot become the 'Robin' you wanted.

-No. I need you this time; even if it's the last one. This is...

-I can't put my daughter in anymore danger.

-...That's...true..that can't be happening.

-I'm sorry about the evening.

-It's okay. You didn't have to call Jerry.
