Charlie follows Pedro into the dark room, it only by a fireplace. She looks around as her eyes adjust to the dimness of the room. She looks up to see a familiar face looking down at here. She gasps.
Charlie: Falbala!? Is that you?

Charlie: Falbala!? Is that you?
The door opens partly slowly. No one comes to it. Charlie looks at Pedro.
Charlie: What’s going on?…
Pedro: Stand back.
He pushes the door open and waits.
Footsteps crunching the snow are heard approaching the cottage. Pedro and Charlie turn around the corner.
Pedro: Shhhh!
Charlie: I didn’t say anything…
Pedro: Shhh!
Charlie (whispering): Why?…
A clearing covered in snow. A small cottage stands quietly, smoke coming out of its chimney. No one is about.
Charlie looks at Pedro, then at Pat.
Pedro: It’s actually all tied together.
Charlie: Is it, now?…
Pat: You two should get going. I told him you would be there shortly.
Pedro: Yes. Thank you Pat. I owe you one.
Pat (with twinkling eyes): Yes…you do…. Charlie, it was a pleasure, if a brief one, to meet you. Take care of yourself.
Charlie (shaking the little man’s hand): Likewise, Pat. Thank you for your help.
Pedro: Ok. Let’s go.
They get on Pedro’s bike and ride off. Pat pulls out h cell phone, punches a few times.
Pat: Hey… they’re on their way..Yes, both of them. You still have the girl?… Good… Make sure she’s ready…
He hangs up.
Blackout.
Pat: So that’s what you were looking for, wasn’t it?
Pedro looks at Pat, but doesn’t respond.
Charlie (looking at the two men): I’m not sure I follow… I thought we were looking for a pendant?
Pedro: Yes…. and no…
Charlie; Here we go again.
Pedro looks at the screen.
Pedro: Yes, but with a twist.
Charlie: What do you mean?
Charlie looks at Pedro.
Charlie: I wonder who that could be?
She looks at her screen and looks at Pedro then Pat.
