Policer officer in tactical gear holds the scared Kika in the robot recycling plant hallway. Onlookers in uniform watch, with a robot nearby. Tense mood.
"No, I swear! I didn’t know anything..."

(YOU are being yanked forward from the huddled group. Your hands shake, and your breath comes in shallow gasps. The Officer’s shadow looms over you.)


Officer M: Kika, isn’t it? Our little friend. You were so generous to Po, weren’t you? Last goodbye and all, huh?


You: I... I just gave him some food...


Officer M: Food? Is that what you call it? Or were you slipping him messages too? Hidden in a lunchbox, maybe?


You: No, I swear! I didn’t know anything...


Officer M: Didn’t know? That’s funny. Because if you didn’t know where he went, then maybe you know where he is now. It’s only a matter of time until you tell us.


(Your eyes dart toward Ms. Linq, silently pleading. She steps forward, her voice tinged with fear.)


Ms. Linq: Leave her alone! She’s just a kid. She doesn’t know anything.


Officer M: Oh, Ms. Linq, if you have more to say, maybe we can take you in for a little chat too.


(Ms. Linq falls silent, fear in her eyes as Officer M turns back to you.)


Officer M: Let’s make this easy, Kika. Tell us what you know. Otherwise, things will get very unpleasant for everyone here.
