Scene 41

EXT. PARK - NIGHT
Jutta approaches a park bench.

JUTTA
Tante Angelique? Angelique??? This is the bench.

Jutta notices something on the bench. There is a hat, dark sunglasses, a box of dog biscuits and a note. Jutta picks up the note and reads.

ANGELIQUE (V.O.)
Meet my friend Scruffy. Put on the hat and sunglasses and feed him dog biscuits.

Jutta throws the note down and sits on the bench in disgust. Her cell phone rings, startling her. She answers.
