INT. JENKINS MANOR - DAY
Tanya and Simon are sat at the breakast table, Simon looks worried.
Tanya: You okay Simon? You haven't touched any of your breakfast...
Simon: Don't feel too hungry...to be honest with you I'm a bit worried about Charlie...
Tanya: Why, she seems to have been behaving herself...
Simon: Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining, she just doesnt seem herself...
Tanya: Let's hope she's finally seen the error of her ways...
Hilary walks into the room and scoffs at this. Tanya casts her a killer look.
Tanya: Got something you want to say Hilary?
Hilary: She's anything but a sweet little angel...you want to teach that girl some discipline before she goes off the rails...
Tanya: You don't know what your on about! She's been behaviour herself recently!
Hilary: Whatever... you evidently dont know what goes on behind closed doors...
Tanya raises an eyebrow, as if to tell Hilary that she doesnt believe her. The scene cuts to Charlie's bedroom where she is lying on her bed, staring into space. She gets a text message, she picks up her phone and reads it.
I WANT MY MONEY NOW, OR ELSE
Charlie jumps up as she reads this, and begins to worry.

The detective gets out a pile of paperwork, each in plastic exhibit bags.
Detective: This little paper trail proves to me that you've been telling us a pack of lies, so if you want to save yourself you'd be start explaning...imediatley...
Ruby: Look...i haven't done anything ok?! Why won't you believe me for christ sake?!
Detective: Explain yourself..tell us your side of the story, then we might start believing you..
Ruby: It's Kyle! He's obviously set me up..
Detective: Well this proves otherwise...
The detective holds up an exhibit bag to Ruby, it has the papers with her signature on it, that Kyle tricked her into signing. Ruby looks shocked.
Ruby: But...but...no..no way!
Detective: Is this your signature?!
Ruby: But..it can't be...it just can't be! I can't have signed that! I can't have!
Detective: Well..i must say, things aren't looking good...the evidence really is stacking up against you!
Ruby: The only papers i've signed are the ones that Kyle told me too! He told me that if i signed some papers then i would get half of Daniels nightclub..but he obviously lied to me! He obviously told me to sign those papers so he could set me up!
Detective: And you didn't bother to check what you were actually signing?! You just put your signature on the dotted line without thinking?!
Ruby: I trusted him! I didn't think he would set me up like this! I thought he was such a caring man...oh how wrong i was! :rolleyes:
Detective: I suggest you stop telling us lies young lady..this interview will be over a lot quicker if you just admit what you've done!
Ruby: For the zillionth time, i've done nothing! He set me up because i was about to shop him to the police, he was involved with the local gangster..he was involved in money laundering!
Suddenly a bag is brought into the interview room. The detective holds the bag up to Ruby.
Detective: Is this your bag?
Ruby: Yes..yeah it is..why?
Detective: There's money in this bag..it equates to the amount that you took out of your account this morning...
Ruby: But i haven't taken any money out!
The detective shows the bank statement to Ruby of the money that was taken out.
Detective: Oh look...you bought some air tickets too...were you planning to do a runner by any chance? Trying to get away from what you've done?!
Ruby: I haven't drawn any money out of my account! I haven't bought any air tickets..i wasn't planning to do a runner! This is just one big set up!
Detective: Miss Singh...we're charging you for tax ivasion and embezzlement..
Ruby: But i've done nothing wrong! I've done nothing!
