(Oliver walks into the room with Mauve.)

Mauve (blank look): Just go to that manā€™s counter and pick the book out, Iā€™ll wait right here.

Oliver (approaches Anderson with a blank look): Sir, pardon me. I heard about the book ā€œThy shall die in the rainā€, and I really love it! Is there any chance of this book available for rent?

Anderson (smiles slightly): Son, I have never heard of the book. Please wait, Iā€™ll go and peruse the papers to see if we have the book.

Oliver (smiles): Thank you sir! (Turns to Mauve and nods in agreement)

Mauve (whispers and looks at Oliver): Remember, beg for the book if necessary.

Oliver (confused): I am not very good at begging Mauve. You should have asked for the book anyway.

Anderson (approaches Oliver and smiles): Sorry young sir, we donā€™t have such a book in this library. Youā€™ll have to check the other ones around.

Oliver (Gets down on his knees): Please sir! I really need that book, my friend Mauve over there made a fair deal with Gretchen. And in order for that deal to remain as it is, heā€™ll need that book for Gretchen in order for Gretchen to give him the money!

Anderson (looks down at Oliver confused): Pardon me? I donā€™t recall Gretchen giving money to anyone.

Oliver (looks down): Yesā€¦ It was a secret, it was a small deal!

Mauve (approaches Oliver and Anderson): May I interrupt? The deal was that I get what Gretchen wanted, and she will give me a fair deal of money for the new home I would buy in the south.

Anderson (confused): How old are you?

Mauve (looks at Anderson): 16 sir.

Anderson (looks at Oliver): Well, I cannot get the book for you, I apologize. But Gretchen is less likely to give away money, even to beggars.

Oliver (looks at Mauve): How much was she giving you?

Mauve (smiles at Anderson): 20 pounds.

Oliver (awkward): 20 pounds will not get you a mansion!

Mauve (looks at Oliver): I wanted a small home in the south, my friends live there.

Oliver (smiles slightly): The houses there are mostly made out of dirt and are filthy and are filled with bugs and other weird animals!

Anderson (looks at Mauve): Look, you cannot take money from Gretchen or anybody. Thatā€™s against the law around here.

(Paul enters the room with a small handgun)

Paul (aims the gun at Mauve): Not when Iā€™m around! Young man, you come with me, we will discuss this money problem.

Mauve (looks at Paul, confused): I canā€™tā€¦

Paul (cocks the gun): Itā€™s either yourself or the very money!

Oliver (looks at Paul): Is that a real gun sir?

Anderson (looks at Paul): What in the name of London is going on here?!

Paul (aims the gun at Anderson): I just want the boyā€¦ Give me the boy!

Mauve (confused): Why me? I didnā€™t do anything sir.

Paul (upset): Yes, Gretchenā€™s money! That money will be mine!

Anderson (looks at Paul): Itā€™s only 20 pounds, now put the gun down!

Paul (shoots the gun at Anderson, and hits his left leg)

Anderson (falls down in pain): Ah, ah, ah the pain is burning my leg!

Mauve (worried): Oh dear, oh dear! Please donā€™t hurt me!

Paul (looks at Mauve): All I want is you for now, so the money can go to me!

Mauve (looks down): I am not going anywhere! Oliver, run to the authorities and get help!

Paul (aims the gun at Oliver): You donā€™t want to get shot kid, do you? I think not! Sit back and watch me take your friend!

Oliver (looks at Mauve): Mauve! I think he wants to rape you!

Paul (looks at Oliver, angry): What? No! I just want the money! (Paul grabs Mauveā€™s forearm and drags him through the door)

Mauve (cries): Stop, what do you want?!

Oliver (gets up and tries to run after Paul): Mauve, wait! (Oliver runs outside to get some help and bumps into Fallion)

Oliver (looks at Fallon): Oh great sir which stands before me, my friend has been stolen, kidnapped. I need help!

Fallion (turns around and looks at Oliver, whilst taking the cigar out of his mouth): Can I help you sir?

Oliver (worried): Not me, my friend! He was taken by some stranger with a gun!

Fallion (smiles at Oliver): Sure buddy, I could help youā€¦ If youā€™re willing to pay.

Oliver (confused, backs away a little bit): I donā€™t understandā€¦ We donā€™t have much time sir! (Oliver tries to run but Fallion grabs his arm)

Fallion (looks at Oliver): We canā€™t rush this, once theyā€™re gone, theyā€™re gone.

Oliver (looks at Fallion): You donā€™t understand! I just want to find my friend!

Fallion (nods in disagreement with closed eyes): We cannot rush this young sir, things like this are not supposed to be rushed!

Oliver (confused, looks down): You cannot understand that a human being is out there, kidnapped?! Ugh, it is probably too late anyway!

Fallion (looks down at Oliver): Look, I will help you find your friend, letā€™s get a small drink first and plan this.

(Fallion and Oliver go and enter the cafƩ on the block.)

Fallion (Walks into the cafƩ with Oliver and sits in the empty table): Well, what do you think we should do?

Oliver (looks at Fallion confused): I donā€™t know sir, thatā€™s why I came to you! Look Iā€™m sorry if I am raising my voice but this is serious sir!

Daniele (approaches Fallion and Oliver): Can I help you gentlemen?

Fallion (turns his head to Daniele and nods in agreement, smiles): Yes, please. Get this young sir and me a mug of hot coffee.

Daniele (writes down on the table, and then looks at
Fallion and smiles): Anything else sir?

Fallion (smiles): No thank you miss, please bring the coffee once it is done.

Daniele (smiles and looks at Fallion): Yes sir.

Oliver (looks at Fallion): Sir, we cannot sit around. My friend could be anywhere! Do I really have to pay you for this search?

Fallion (looks down at the table and looks at Oliver): Alright, well, first off, do not call me sir, my name is Fallion, and yes, a payment will be required for this ā€œsearch of yoursā€.

Oliver (looks down at the table worried): Fallion, we cannot sit around. We must take action!

Fallion (rubs under his nose and looks at Oliver): Well, youā€™ll have to pay me first. I need the money a lot, and Iā€™ll need at least 12 pounds.

Oliver (smiles slightly): 12 pounds eh? Well, I promise you that youā€™ll get your 12 pounds after we find Mauve.

Fallion (slaps the table and looks at Oliver): Deal, whatā€™s your name again?

Oliver (looks at Fallion and nods in agreement): Oliver. O-L-I-V-E-R, Oliver.
Daniele (approaches Fallion and Oliver and smiles): Hereā€™s your order gentlemen. (Sets coffee on the table)

Fallion (looks at Daniele): Pardon me miss. But have you seen a man, with a kid? The kid wasā€¦

Oliver (looks at Daniele): 16. And the manā€™s name was Paul. He had dark hair with dark eyes and a black jacket.

Daniele (smiles and looks at Fallion): Indeed, I have. The man ordered a small cake with coffee beans I believe. What was the kidā€™s name?

Oliver (leans towards Daniele): Yes! His name was Mauve. Could you tell us where they went?

Daniele (confused): I am not sure sir; I believe the man said he was heading down to Stonehenge.

Fallion (slaps the table): Ugh thatā€™s miles away from here!

Daniele (looks at Fallion): But you can stay at the Makson hotel around here.

Fallion (looks at Daniele): Alright, well do. Weā€™ll stay at the hotel.

Oliver (looks at Fallion): Fallion! We donā€™t have money!

Fallion (looks at Oliver): I have some pounds. Relaxā€¦

Oliver (sits back relieved then looks at Daniele): Heyā€¦ How can we get to the hotel you mentioned?

Daniele (looks at Oliver): The hotel is to the right, up the small hill, between 2 buildings, across the street.

Oliver (looks down at the table): Thank you.

Fallion (looks at Daniele): Well, weā€™ll need your help. Will you come with us?

Daniele (looks at Fallion): Sorry sir, I cannot. Work still isnā€™t over, sorry.

Fallion (looks at the table): It is fine, no worries. Letā€™s go Oliver, weā€™ll find your friend. First, we must crash at the hotel. Thank you miss, weā€™ll be on our way. (Shakes Danieleā€™s hand)

Oliver (looks and smiles at Daniele): Yes, thank you miss! (Oliver turns around and walks out the front door with Fallion)

Daniele (looks down at the coffee then at the door): Wait gentlemen, you forgot your! Never mindā€¦

(Daniele walks back to the kitchen)

(Fallion and Oliver arrive at the Makson hotel)

Fallion (approaches the counter and looks at Aā€™van): Hello sir, weā€™re on a little mission and I would really need a hotel room with my little friend over here.

Aā€™van (looks at Oliver for 2 seconds, and then looks at Fallion and smiles): Yes sir, I will tell
Anderson to check if we have rooms available. Now let me hear about your little mission sir.

Fallion (looks at Aā€™van and smiles slightly): We are on a little run here so we would appreciate it if you would just hurry up with the room please.

Aā€™van (looks at Fallion with a blank look, and raises his hands up slowly): I... Iā€™m sorry sirā€¦

Fallion (nods in agreement looking at Aā€™van): Well, sir listenā€¦ My little friend and I are looking for this kidā€¦

Oliver (looks at Aā€™van): Yes indeed! His name was Mauve. Heā€™s only 16; he has dark, slightly long hair.

Aā€™van (looks at Oliver and smiles): Sorry sir, I havenā€™t seen him.

Iā€™van (approaches Fallion and looks at him with a sharp look): Looking for a boy? My friend Paul made a new friend named Mauve.

Oliver (looks at Iā€™van worried): You better not be kidding sir!

Iā€™van (looks at Oliver): Ay,
