Ice Cream Cake

A crowd of employees have gathered in the cafeteria as the scene begins. Everyone is anxiously awaiting the arrival of Skylor, an ice cream cake sits in the middle of the crowd. The production floor has grown silent, everyone in the cafeteria awaiting Skylor's arrival.

Noticing all of her employees are not at their desks, Skylor immediately sets out to find out where they disappeared to. As she makes her way down the main isle, she begins to realize the production cells have been emptied out as well. The cafeteria door is thrust open by Blaine Buepre and he waves her in. Skylor shifts her steely gaze around the empty production floor before she enters the cafeteria.

(Begin Dialogue)

• (Everyone in Room) Surprise!! {Skylor jumps back, shocked and surprised by such an outpouring from from her fellow coworkers. She clasps Blaine's outstretched hand and heads for the ice cream cake.}
• (Skylor Crenshaw) Oh, thank you all so much! {Wiping a single tear from her eye. Skylor gazes around the room at all the faces. A puzzled look sweeps her face for just a fleeting moment....... No Blaze Winchester.}
• (Blaine Buepre) We're going to miss you Skylor! {Blaine is to busy handing out ice cream cake to notice Skylor isn't listening to a word he is saying.}
• (Dash Cooper) So, is everything set for Monday then? {Dash whispers quietly in Skylor's ear. His eyes shift back and forth, darting from person to person in the room, one eyebrow lifted.}
• (Skylor Crenshaw) I don't see Blaze. Something is up. {Skylor whispers through a fake smile. She rubs the backs of her arms. }
• (Dash Cooper) Let's just get some cake. We can meet about this later. {Dash grabs a piece of cake from Blaine and exits the cafeteria.

(End Dialogue)

Skylor continues to stare in the direction of Dash's departure, eyebrows furrowed with though. Nobody in the room seems to notice the exchange that has just occurred, or, has someone.......

The scene ends as Skylor is approached by Evan Lancaster.
