-Officer Baker and another officer are waiting in the car -

Radio:

Targets are walking into the pub, standby for intercept

Officer Baker:

(on radio) Affirmative, preparing to enter building, over

(to the other officer)

Things may turn sideways quickly in there; I need you to be ready for if that happens. This ain’t no training simulation, people may die here. Can I count on you?

Officer:

Of course, let’s just get this job done so we get can put this bastard behind bars

-the two watch as the door closes before exiting the car-

Scene 02

-The officers enter the pub and walk towards the bar, noticing the target, there are quiet murmurs in the background-

Officer:

(sitting down) I’ll have a half-pint of lager please

Officer Baker:

(to bartender) Nothing for me thanks

(to officer) You sure it’s wise drinking on a job like this?

Officer:

Better we look like we want to be here than stand out, besides its not enough to cause me to lose focus (takes drink)

-shifts to group of people in a booth-

(there is silence as one of the people is staring towards the officers with intrigue)

Male01:

What is it?

-shift to a bar-

Drunk01:

(raised voice towards Officer Baker)

Hey missy... why don't you drop the shrimp and get with a real man... since its pretty late... why don't me and you go back to my place, it's just down the street...  (grabs wrist)

Officer Baker:

(takes lager glass and smashes it on his head) hmm… a good offer though I don’t see how that’s possible now

-everyone in the pub becomes startled and begin to mind their own business, except for the man who gets up to go outside-

(door closes)

(subtle grunting in the background)

Officer:

target has left the building, do we pursue?

Officer Baker:

No, there is enough heat on us already, can't risk blowing this mission

(hand places itself on her shoulder)

Thug:

The boss wants a word with you and your associate here, I'll take you to the back to where he is

Officer Baker:

We were actually planning on leaving...

Thug:

(Cutting in) 

I'm afraid he insists, it is of high importance

Officer:

(Under breath)

...Shit...

(To thug)

Well if they're insistent I think we should go

(both officers get up, pay the tip and then walk into the back)
