Panel 1:
Nancy’s ears perk at violin music sifting through the basement windows.
Panel 2:
Same view. Nancy leans up to the window and whispers harshly.
NANCY: Psst!
NANCY: Oi!
NANCY: Si!
NANCY: I’m here!
SI (interface): Y’can talk normal, Nancy, I hear ya loud and clear.
Panel 3:
Outside, Si has her hood up and is playing with her case open in front of her, receiving pennies.
NANCY (radio): Hold up, how are you doing that?
SI (interface): Clever, innit? Hiding me own command centre in plain sight! And I’m making a couple bob in the bargain.
NANCY (radio): You can listen with that thing too?
SI (interface): Sure! Yer like a walking-talking receiver, long as I keep playing.
Panel 4:
Nancy, nervous, leans into the ear bud. E-D appears from round a bend in the background, working his phone very intensely.
NANCY: ...how much did you hear in the club?
SI (interface): Ya kidding me? Noise in there made me teeth rattle. Couldn’t hear nuffing, least of all you.
SI (interface): Why, sumfing ‘appen in there? Sounded like fun.
Panel 5:
Same view. Nancy looks guilty as E-D’s attention wanders towards her. He looks intrigued.
NANCY: ...no, nothing important. Keep your guard up, make yourself scarce if need be. The fuzz are on the way.
SI (interface): Ain’t picking nuffing up. Y’sure they’re coming?
NANCY: Trust me, they’re coming. You got your sixth senses, and I’ve got mine.
Panel 6:
Same view. Nancy is startled by E-D. He’s putting the moves on, The Game style.
E-D: Hey, doll. Ya wouldn’t be hanging around to catch an interview with ol’ E-D, wouldja?
E-D: Real naughty.
E-D: I like it!
