A typical urban block of flats. Empty. Silent.

INT. ENTRANCE TO BLOCK OF FLATS – DAY 1

ANDRE is wearing casual outfit. Pair of trainers, tracksuit and a hoody. Walking cautiously towards the entrance of the flat.

Checks his phone for the time and steers at the entrance for a brief moment. Worried he would be late he rushes.

INT. STAIRS LEADING TO HALLWAY – DAY 1

Walking up the stairs ANDRE starts to feel uneasy and worried that something is not right. His hands start to feel sweaty and sweat rolls down his face.

Staying alert and Inspecting what around him, ANDRE accidentally bumps into a boy younger in his early teens.

The boy was roughly and casually dressed. Rough, dirty, trousers sagging. Boy gets up and runs.

INT. HALLWAY – DAY 1

Continuing to walk to walk down the hallway to his destination. ANDRE thinks he hears footsteps behind him and he quickly turns around to see but no one was there. As soon as he turns around he feels a thump at the back of his head and gets “JUMPED”.

2 masked people are kicking and punching ANDRE. Wearing hoods that cover their identity. One character manages to take ANDRES bag, which contains the drugs, from his tight grip.

The masked villains flee the scene of the crime and leave ANDRE helpless and gasping for air. Andre finds the strength to lean on to the wall and call the police. Before calling the police he sees a picture of his wife on his phone and starts to cry.

Police operator

Emergency operator, which service please?

Suddenly one of the masked men returns and kicks ANDRE in his face before he gets to answer.
