Daylight Saving, Issue 3: Part 3.2

Page 65

Panel 1: At the front entrance to the bar, as the fight continues deep within, all we see is the sound of cars driving by as well as a few sirens.

Panel 2: The door opens then, and the group walks out covered in a spare table covering from the ever growing sounds of police sirens coming into the scene.

Panel 3: Kym lowers the covering after crossing over to the next block outside of any view, revealing the others partly at that point.

KAYLA

(relieved, to Kym)

Thanks for the assist, lady.

KYM

(half grin, to Kayla)

Happy to help a queer sister out. Especially one who’s dating a genuine global celebrity.

KAYLA

(Bubble 2)

Ummm…

KYM

(Bubble 2)

Don’t worry. I’m not gonna blab it to the world.

Panel 4: Close-up on Brie's face a beat later, glancing at Ms. Clarkson's direction to chime in; their face still purple and sore from the fight.

BRIE

Good to know. I'd love to repay this act of kindness, once we’re properly out of danger.

Panel 5: Kayla pops in a beat later, whispering a note of concern that's connected to the previous panel's point.

KAYLA

Ya sure about that, honey? Even with her kind act, we don't know her from a hole in the wall.

BRIE

(whispering back)

I won’t force you to go if you don't want to. I just...I have a feeling she could be helpful to my big mission here.

KAYLA

(Bubble 2)

Alright. I trust you...

Panel 1: Same setting/layout as the last panel of the previous page. After a brief pause that fell between this panel and the aforementioned one, Brie takes a step forward to address the waiting Kym.

BRIE

(to Kym)

I saw in the L.A. Times that Destiny's Child is playing at Staples Center in a few nights. Are you a fan by chance? I can get us in…

Panel 2: Kym's eyes go wide at the question, foreshadowing the answer before she says it; an equally wide smile over her face as she speaks.

KYM

Hell yeah, I am! I love the new album, though LeToya and Farrah absolutely got screwed over.

Panel 3: A quick look from Mx. Benoit to their partner, confused by the details of the story. 101.

KYM

(Cont., Off-Panel)

How were you able to get tickets though? I thought they were sold out.

Panel 4: Brie turns back toward Ms. Clarkson a beat later, having heard the question from the previous panel in between the silence, and answers confidently.

BRIE

A fan who works at Staples Center sent me a couple of lifetime passes for events there. I'd take Kayla, but...

BRIE

(Bubble 2; reacting to Panel 5, Bubble 1)

Right. Soooo...

Panel 5: Snapshot of Kayla chiming in a beat later with her own comment toward the same story.

KAYLA

(interjecting, while glancing at Brie)

I'm working on some commissioned pieces, and gonna be in a creative zone for a little while.

Panel 6: We jump to a shot of Mx. Benoit outside the arena on the night of the concert, a few hours beforehand, dressed in an outfit that befits a mostly male outfit with female makeup and hair doings.
