Conspiracy part 1
Nora is just finishing her fond farewell with Bo in his office.
N: So, I guess that’s it.
B: I guess so.
N: We’ll always be friends? Right?
B: In one way or another…
N: Can I have a last hug?
B: I don’t think that would be a good idea. What with me engaged to Melanie and all…
N: I suppose your right. (she extends her hand) Friends.
B: Nora, you’re really making this harder than it is. I mean, we had something way back when, but we’ve moved on. I’m sorry that I seemed to move on further than you…
N: Geez, Bo. You act as if I meant nothing to you…
B: It’s not that, its just that it was so long ago…
N: Goodbye Bo.
B: Goodbye Nora
Nora leaves Bo’s office. He stares at the door for a moment, then shrugs his shoulders and sits behind his desk. Melanie walks in. Bo gets up to greet her.
B: Hey! How is my doll today?
M: OK. Was that Nora, again?
B: Yeah.
M: Bo, this is starting to unnerve me. Is she going to run to you every time she has a hair out of place? Doesn’t she get it? You are so over her?
B: She’s got it now. She came to say goodbye. She came to some kind of realization. She’s over me.
M: Well, amen to that!
B: Honey, I know. You’ve been such a patient girl. Soon enough you’ll be Mrs. Bo Buchanan
M: Hey! I got the preview invitation! Want to see it?
Bo smiles and gives her a hug

Nora’s house
N: Matthew! Mommy’s home!
M: Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!
N: Sweetie! How is my big boy? Oh how I love you!
Matthew jumps into Nora’s arms
R: Hey Mom…
Rachel walks out of the kitchen drinking a soda.
N: Hey baby…
R: Where you been Mom?
N: Well my dear (she sits down on the couch with Matthew on her lap) you would have been very proud of me. I went to Bo’s office…
R: Oohh…..
N: And I let him know I was ok with letting him go…I was over him…I was
She starts to cry
R: Mom. You’re not ready to let him go. You’ve got to realize though Mom, he’s not the same Bo you were in love with. He’s different. He’s, I don’t know…
N: I think I’d be more OK if
he wasn’t with Melanie

In a small apartment in an unknown
area.

L: Whatever…uh oh, some one is up, gotta run
C: I’ll be there Tuesday with supplies. Later
L: Bye
Lindsey hangs up the phone and walks down a small hallway to a dark back bedroom. She turns on the small dresser light.
L: Are you awake?
A man is lying in the bed. He is disheveled,
a beard and long tangled hair. He turns his head and .
looks at Lindsey.
L: Its your back again isn’t it?
He tries to move his head to signal “no”
L: I’ll get you something to take the edge off.
He lets out a muffled moan. Lindsey returns with a pill and some water. She puts the pill on the mans tongue and pours some water in his mouth.
L: There you go. You’ll be asleep soon. You’ve got to trust me on this one Bo.
She shuts off the light and closes the door as she leaves the room.
Bo tries to refocus in the dank room.
He slowly moves his hand up to his mouth and remove
the dissolving pill, he drops it next to the bed near the wall,
were other pills have been discarded.
He turns his head toward the small window.
B: Nora.
