A Miracle, Part 3
TWO WEEKS LATER,
Jake is sitting in his office working on a story,
the phone rings.
JAKE: (Answers the phone) "McKinnon" "Hey Margo whats up?" "No, I
haven't heard anything yet" (Lucinda walks in) "Yeah, I talked to everyone here
and no one saw a thing" " Okay, well, I'll talk to ya later" "Okay
Bye" (He hangs up and looks at Lucinda) Well, if it isn't the big boss lady coming to
give me a hard time?
LUCINDA: Was that Margo on the phone?
JAKE: Yeah!
LUCINDA: Did she find out anything?
JAKE: No, another dead end
LUCINDA: I see (She pauses)
JAKE (He leans back in his chair and crosses his arms and looks at Lucinda) Okay, now what
are you up to? or what did you do?
LUCINDA: I called the FBI back on this
JAKE: And you think they'll find something this time?
LUCINDA: I don't know, but those babies came from somewhere
JAKE: And so everyone just thinks they are mine (The phone rings) "McKinnon"
"Okay I'll be right down" (He hangs up) Well, saved by the bell, The printer is
down (He leaves the room)
LUCINDA: The printer is down? (John walks in) Hi John
JOHN: Hi Lucinda, Where is Jake?
LUCINDA: He's down stairs in the printer room
JOHN: (Holding a paper) I just came to tell him the DNA test are in
LUCINDA: (Reaches for the paper) Let me see
JOHN: (Pulls it back) I can't, it's for Jake
JAKE: (Walks back in) What's for Jake?
JOHN: (Turns around to look at Jake) Hey Jake
JAKE: Hey John, whats up?
JOHN: (Hands Jake the paper) This is the DNA test
LUCINDA: Yeah John wouldn't let me see it
JAKE: Oh, is that right? (He reads it)
LUCINDA: Well, what does it say?
JAKE: (To John) This can't be right
JOHN: It's right. Jake. Those are your babies
JAKE: They can't be
LUCINDA: John, are you sure?
JOHN: Yes, Lucinda, I ran the test 3 times
JAKE: Well, there has to be a mistake, Because if they are mine where is my wife?
JOHN: No mistake, Jake. Well, I have a meeting to get to I just wanted to drop that off
JAKE: Okay, thanks. See ya later, John
JOHN: See you, Jake. I'll talk to you later, Lucinda
LUCINDA: Sure, bye John (John leaves) So, Jake, what are you going to do?
