INT DOM OFFICE DAY
Dom sits back in his chair
CEDRIC
Wait you followed a gang banger?
DOM
And that is all you got out of that whole
conversation?
Dom turns to his desk and rummages through the mess that is the top
until he retrieves a newspaper. He hands it to Cedric.
DOM(CONT)
Here.
Cedric takes the paper and reads the article. He lowers the paper and
looks at Dom.
CEDRIC
Another drive by? What is the point? These kids
now-a- days are crazy. You forgot where we live,
this happens everyday.
DOM
I know that but, I am talking about the name Griffin
Washington.
CEDRIC
Who in the hell is Griffin Washington?
DOM
A Basketball player. Some believe he is better then
Deshawn Jackson. They were high school rivals.
His freshman, sophomore, and junior year, he won the
state championship. All three years, dude averaged
twenty-two points and twelve assist a game. Even as
a Freshman.
CEDRIC
So, what happened to him? What made him turn in to
a crazy gang banger?
DOM
No one knows. He dropped out his senior year. I think
it was the pressure. Imagine winning the state
championship three years in a row, and Deshawn
Jackson gets all the coverage. Deshawn got front page
of the newspaper and first round pick in the NBA
straight out of high school.
Cedric sets the paper back on Dom's desk
CEDRIC
Don't you think you may be diving into this just a little
too much?
Cedric looks at his watch.
CEDRIC
Shit. I got to go. We'll catch up tonight for drinks?
Cedric stands up and walks out of the cubical
DOM
Sure, drinks where what time?
Dom says to himself he turns and starts getting his desk organized
