SCENE 01

ANTHONY CALLS AMBER

INT. AMBER’S HOUSE — AFTERNOON
Amber sits comfortably on the couch, scrolling through her phone when it suddenly starts ringing. She glances at the screen and notices Anthony’s name. Her expression changes slightly as she wonders why he is calling her out of nowhere.
AMBER

Hey, Anthony. What’s going on?

ANTHONY

Hey, Amber. I wanted to ask you something about Ben and Lesa.

AMBER

Ben and Lesa? What about them?

ANTHONY

I want to know what’s happening between those two. What kind of relationship do they have, and what exactly are they planning?

Amber sighs and shakes her head. She knows that discussing someone else’s personal life could easily create unnecessary drama.
AMBER

Anthony, I honestly don’t know what you’re expecting me to say. Whatever is happening between Ben and Lesa is their business. I’m not going to get involved in their personal lives or tell you something that could cause problems between them.

ANTHONY

I’m not asking you to create problems, Amber. I’m asking you to pay attention. You know how quickly things can get out of control when people start hiding things.

AMBER

But why are you so concerned about them? If they have something going on, shouldn’t they be the ones to explain it?

ANTHONY

Because Mike is involved in this situation, and I don’t want things to get ugly. If Mike finds out something he doesn’t like, you know how he can react. He might lose his temper and do something without thinking.

Amber becomes more serious. Although she still doesn’t understand why Anthony is so interested, she recognizes that his concern about Mike could be genuine.
AMBER

Okay, I understand what you’re saying. I’ll keep an eye on the situation, but I’m not going to interfere unless there’s a real reason to get involved.

ANTHONY

That’s all I’m asking. Just stay aware of what’s happening.

AMBER

Fine. I’ll let you know if I hear anything important.

ANTHONY

I appreciate it, Amber.

The call ends. Amber lowers her phone and stares at the screen for a moment. Something about the conversation doesn’t sit right with her. Anthony’s questions seemed unusually specific, and she cannot shake the feeling that there might be another reason behind his call.
She decides she needs to tell Dave what happened.
SCENE 02

AMBER TELLS DAVE EVERYTHING

INT. DAVE’S HOUSE — LATER THAT AFTERNOON
Dave is sitting at the table when Amber walks into the room with her phone in her hand. Her expression immediately catches his attention.
DAVE

What’s wrong? You look like something happened.

AMBER

Anthony just called me.

Dave looks up, surprised.
DAVE

Anthony? Why was he calling you?

AMBER

He wanted to ask me about Ben and Lesa. He wanted to know what kind of relationship they have and what their plans are.

Dave’s expression hardens.
DAVE

Hold on. Let me get this straight. Anthony called you to ask about Ben and Lesa?

AMBER

Yes. I told him that their personal lives weren’t my business and that I wasn’t going to say anything that could cause problems between them.

DAVE

And what did he say?

AMBER

He kept insisting that I should watch them. He said he was worried Mike might lose his temper if something happened that he didn’t like.

Dave slowly stands up, processing everything Amber has told him.
DAVE

That’s interesting.

AMBER

What do you mean?

DAVE

Anthony has plenty of people he could ask about Ben and Lesa. He could have called Mike directly, spoken to someone else, or simply stayed out of it. But instead, he chose to call you.

Amber folds her arms.
AMBER

That’s exactly what I thought was strange. I couldn’t understand why he needed to involve me.

Dave lets out a frustrated laugh, but there is no humor in it.
DAVE

Because he wanted an excuse to talk to you!

AMBER

Dave, don’t jump to conclusions. Maybe he really was concerned about Mike.

DAVE

Concerned about Mike? Since when does Anthony suddenly care so much about everybody else’s business? He didn’t need to call you to discuss Ben and Lesa. He wanted to find a reason to contact you.

AMBER

You think he was trying to get my attention?

DAVE

I think he knew exactly what he was doing. He used Ben and Lesa as an excuse because he thought it would give him a reason to contact you without making his intentions obvious.

Amber becomes uncomfortable as Dave’s anger grows.
AMBER

Even if that’s what he was doing, I didn’t encourage him. I made it clear that I wasn’t interested in discussing anybody’s personal life.

DAVE

I know you didn’t do anything wrong, and I’m not blaming you. But I’m tired of Anthony acting like he can keep finding ways to get involved in our lives.

Dave grabs his keys from the table.
AMBER

Where are you going?

DAVE

I’m going to talk to Anthony.

Amber immediately steps closer.
AMBER

Dave, please don’t do anything stupid. You know how Anthony is. If you go there while you’re angry, this could turn into something much bigger.

Dave takes a deep breath, attempting to control himself.
DAVE

I’m not going there to cause a scene. I’m going there to ask him one simple question: why is he calling my woman when he has no reason to?

AMBER

Then let me come with you.

DAVE

No. I need to handle this myself. Just stay here, okay? I’ll deal with him.

Amber reluctantly steps aside, but worry remains written across her face.
AMBER

Promise me you’ll keep your temper under control.

DAVE

I’ll try. But if he thinks he can disrespect me and keep getting away with it, he’s about to find out that I’m not going to stand for it.

He walks out, leaving Amber standing in the living room with a terrible feeling that something is about to go wrong.
SCENE 03

DAVE CONFRONTS ANTHONY

EXT. ANTHONY’S RESIDENCE — LATE AFTERNOON
Dave drives straight to Anthony’s residence. His hands tighten around the steering wheel as he replays the conversation with Amber in his mind. He parks, gets out, and walks toward the entrance. Anthony is outside when Dave arrives. He notices Dave approaching and immediately senses that something is wrong.
ANTHONY

Dave? What are you doing here?

DAVE

We need to talk.

ANTHONY

About what?

Dave stops directly in front of him.
DAVE

Don’t play innocent with me. I know you called Amber.

Anthony raises his eyebrows.
ANTHONY

Yes, I called Amber. So what?

DAVE

So what? You couldn’t find anybody else to talk to? You had to call my woman and start asking her questions about Ben and Lesa?

Anthony shakes his head dismissively.
ANTHONY

I was asking about a situation that could affect Mike. Amber knows people involved, so I asked her what she knew. What’s the problem?

Dave takes a step closer.
DAVE

The problem is that I don’t believe for one second that Ben and Lesa were the real reason you called her.

Anthony’s expression changes.
ANTHONY

Excuse me?

DAVE

You wanted an excuse to talk to Amber, so you used their situation to get her attention. Don’t stand here and tell me you couldn’t have contacted somebody else.

Anthony steps forward, visibly irritated by Dave’s accusation.
ANTHONY

You need to get over yourself, Dave. Not every conversation involving Amber has something to do with you.

DAVE

She’s my partner. If another man keeps looking for excuses to contact her, I have every right to ask questions.

ANTHONY

And what exactly do you expect me to do? Ask for your permission before I make a phone call?

Dave laughs bitterly.
DAVE

No. I expect you to stop pretending that you’re concerned about everybody else’s problems when all you really want is to keep yourself connected to Amber.

Anthony’s patience begins to disappear.
ANTHONY

Listen to me carefully. I’m not going to let you come to my house and accuse me of things just because you’re insecure about your relationship.

Dave’s jaw tightens.
DAVE

Be careful with your words.

ANTHONY

Or what?

The two men stare at each other in silence. The tension between them becomes almost unbearable.
SCENE 04

THE ARGUMENT TURNS INTO A FIGHT

EXT. ANTHONY’S RESIDENCE — CONTINUOUS
Dave points a finger toward Anthony.
DAVE

You think you can disrespect me and then hide behind excuses? You knew exactly what you were doing when you called Amber.

Anthony slaps Dave’s hand away.
ANTHONY

Get your finger out of my face!

Dave immediately pushes Anthony backward.
DAVE

Then stop acting like you can do whatever you want!

Anthony stumbles, catches his balance, and shoves Dave hard in the chest.
ANTHONY

Don’t ever put your hands on me!

Before either man can calm down, Anthony swings at Dave, striking him across the face.
THE FIRST PUNCH CHANGES EVERYTHING.
Dave staggers sideways, touching his cheek in disbelief. For a moment, both men freeze. Then Dave charges forward. The two men collide, grabbing each other’s shirts as they struggle to gain control. Anthony throws another punch, and Dave retaliates, sending both of them stumbling toward the side of the driveway.
ANTHONY

You came to my house looking for trouble!

DAVE

You brought this on yourself!

Anthony attempts to push Dave away, but Dave grabs his shirt and drives him backward. Anthony manages to break free and lands another blow before Dave tackles him to the ground. They struggle violently, throwing punches and attempting to overpower each other.
Anthony’s lip begins to bleed, while Dave develops a swelling mark near his cheekbone. Neither man appears willing to back down.
ANTHONY

Get off me!

DAVE

You should have thought about that before you decided to play games with my relationship!

Anthony shoves Dave away and scrambles to his feet. Dave follows, breathing heavily, his shirt pulled out of place and his face twisted with anger.
ANTHONY

You’re going to regret coming here!

DAVE

The only thing I regret is not confronting you sooner!

Anthony lunges forward again, and the two men resume fighting. They slam against a parked vehicle, making a loud metallic sound that echoes through the driveway. Neither seems to notice the damage around them. Their entire focus is on each other.
Just then, a car pulls into the driveway.
Amber steps out and immediately freezes at the sight before her. Dave and Anthony are fighting near the vehicle, both visibly injured and completely consumed by rage.
AMBER

DAVE! ANTHONY! STOP!

Neither man listens. Amber rushes toward them, terrified that one of them might suffer a serious injury. <
