EXCERPT
EXT. RATHBORNE LIBRARY - DAY
The next day, Gideon and Rilla arrive in front of the Rathborne Library. They stop at the front yard when they spot Ian lurking in the bushes.
RILLA
What on earth are you doing?
IAN
What? Oh. It's just you two.
RILLA
I'm not sure if I should be annoyed with that tone of voice.
IAN
Look, I was expecting someone else, all right?
GIDEON
You mean Mr. Humperdink?
IAN
Exactly. Mrs. Humperdink had come earlier to say that our esteemed boss was out today, sick with the flu. So we're on our own.
RILLA
And you decided to play hooky now?
IAN
No! It's just that after I got my morning tea, I thought I saw something outside. A lurker. An intruder. So I came out here to chase a shadow.
RILLA
I don't see anyone around now.
IAN
Obviously. My mind must have been playing tricks on me. Or I must have seen a bird flying out of the corner of my eye.
