BLACK SCREEN
Breathing...
NAIRA (V.O., barely audible)
…okay… okay…
UNCLE (COMMS)
Listen carefully...This is not a game...
move only when you are sure...don't depend on Bidu totally...
Make your decision...take my suggestions...
And...return safe...
NAIRA (V.O.)
Yes...uncle...
A brief pause...
PARITRAAN (COMMS)
Naira… stay sharp... If anything feels wrong...
UNCLE (cuts in)
Let me handle this...
PARITRAAN
…Understood
EXT. ABANDONED COLONY- NIGHT
The darkness pulls back to reveal the place...
A massive concrete wall encircles...an unfinished residential colony....Crumbling...
Weather stained...Silent in a way that feels wrong...
Half built towers rise like skeletons exposed rebar... hollow windows...staircases leading nowhere...
Naira crouches on a nearby rooftop...
She looks down...
Trash...Broken concrete...Dark corners...
Naira moves...soundlessly...
One hand touches the wall...She vaults over... weight perfectly balanced...She lands inside...No sound...
She activates full camouflage...
Now she's a distortion...a bend in the darkness...
She moves slowly... circling the perimeter... just as instructed...
Scanning...Listening...
BIDU (LOW)
Environmental scan active...Structural integrity...unstable...
Naira freezes...
UNCLE
Take a full round...Learn the ground before... you touch anything...
Naira moves forward...Each step... measured... Each breath controlled...
Concrete dust coats the floor...Rebar hangs like exposed veins...
A soft drip...echoes...
Naira lowers herself behind a broken pillar...
UNCLE ( low)
Don't chase sounds...Let them reveal themselves...
She peeks around the edge...Nothing... Only darkness layered over darkness...
BIDU
Motion detected...Low-speed...
The wind pushes one chain...
Naira flinches...She steadies herself...
From beyond the broken gate... an AMBULANCE rolls in...
No siren...No flashing lights... Just its engine… muted… restrained...
It moves slowly...tires crunching softly...
the sound feels louder only because... the night is so quiet...
Moonlight spills over its white body... guiding it like a ghost through the ruins...
The driver's silhouette is barely visible... hands steady on the wheel... eyes forward...
No urgency...No panic...
UNCLE (low) …Do not engage.
BIDU
Vehicle analysis... behavior...
abnormal...Naira activates full stealth...
She slips from... cover...to...cover...never breaking rhythm...
Her movement is silent...
Unaware...Unwatched...
