The Reward (Part 2)

"Finish your work."

Boba: We didn’t do anything to it. It was Po. We followed him to the farmhouse... Assam knocked him out with a shovel to take the humanoid.

Officer Z: Who is Po?

Boba: He’s that one-armed freak boy working in the robot blending section.

Officer Z: Lock him up. And everyone in his section—grill them all.

Officer M: Did Po speak to anyone else?

(Boba and Assam exchange terrified looks, unsure how to respond.)

Officer Z: Check every camera in the plant. We’ll interrogate anyone connected to him.

(The Officers exchange a brief glance before Officer Z turns toward the door.)

Officer Z: Finish your work.

(As Officer Z exits, the door slams shut. Officer M lingers, a menacing smile creeping onto his face as he twirls the baton. Boba and Assam exchange fearful glances, knowing what's coming.)
