"Not Gonna Get Us"

Late sunset. Two spies are hiding behind a building. They are on the run and cannot be caught by the entity following them.

Sarah: How did we end up here?

Julia: That’s a loaded question. How did we end up running from the scene or being spies?

Sarah: I know we’ve known each other for a long time, but this is insane.

Julia: We were had. That Big Mary team much have known that this would get botched.

Sarah: Maybe it was a setup, but we can’t deal with that now. “Starting from here, let’s make a promise.”

Julia: “You and me, let’s just be honest.” What are you thinking?

Sarah: We’re never taking on someone else’s missions.

Julia: I agree completely with that.

The sun is now behind the buildings and dark is coming quickly. There’s a loud crash of windows breaking and what sounds like gunshots.

Julia: We gotta go. “We're gonna run.”

Sarah: “Nothing can stop us.” Where are we going to next as “the night that falls all around us?”

Julia: Head over there. There are so many people after us.

Sarah: How many groups can there possibly be?

Julia’s phone rings. Julia and Sarah jump. Julia can’t silence it so she throws it on the floor and smashes it. There are helicopter spotlights trying to find the women and the deafening noises of the helicopters continue through the scene.

Julia: Shit. How are we going to get back to the safe house?

Sarah: Just breathe, we’ll get out of this mess and “soon there will be laughter and voices.” We’ll get back to our kids.

Julia: Sarah, this is the first time that I don’t know that we will.

Sarah: I’m trying not to think about that. Is it just me or are those the mountains we’ve been looking for?

Julia: It’s so dark. Where?

Sarah: “Beyond the clouds” and “over the mountains.”

Julia: I see it now. You’re right. Alright, time for a new game plan.

Sarah: The gunfire, it’s stopped.

Julia: That’s not a good sign.

Sarah: I know. Follow me.

Julia: Where are you going?

Sarah: (shouts behind her as she starts running) “We’ll run away on roads that are empty.” Come on this way!

Helicopter grows increasingly louder, lights get brighter as if the helicopter is landing.

Julia: No!!!!!! Sarah!!!! You’re running toward the “lights from the airfield shining upon you.” STOP!

Gunshots. Sarah falls to the ground. All noise ceases to an uncomfortable silence except for Julia’s whimpers and cries.

Julia: Sarah. What happened? How did we fall into this trap? You and me. “Nothing can stop us.” That’s been our motto since they paired us at the academy. There’s nowhere for me to go.

Footsteps approach. Julia is being closed in on from all sides.

Julia: “Not now!” Get off of me! Get away, let me go! Sarah, “I love you.” I told you from the start…”they’re not gonna get us.” How did this happen?

Julia is dragged backstage.

Blackout.
