Fatal Stocks

A motel room, bath running. There’s a laptop with, stock information: share percentages and prices being transferred to a USB. PETERS (38) paces, eyes darting between his laptop and phone. He storms into the bathroom to switch off the tap. ‘I’m just outside’. Surprised, he nearly drops the phone in the tub. Peters answers the door, a woman, INDIGO (32), on the other side. As he opens it, Indigo punches Peters, forcing him back. Peters intercepts Indigo, pushing her back, charges after her, but she counters, throwing Peters onto the bed and strangling him. Peters manages to wind Indigo and roll off the bed. He grabs the USB, stuffs it down his pants. Indigo’s undeterred, going after Peters again. He traps her in his robe, pins her to the bed and asks if she’s been sent to retrieve the stocks, she has. Indigo knees Peters’ crotch, causing him to roll off the bed. He sits up but indigo grabs him and puts him in a head-scissors. Peters manages to separate Indigo’s legs enough to slip out and slides to the floor. Indigo’s quickly back on top of Peters, going for the USB, but again, he manages to wriggle away. Indigo rushes Peters, sliding her hands down his pants to get the USB. Peters wrestles to get her hands out. Indigo gets the USB, but Peters backs her against the wall and she drops it. Indigo manages another low-blow and Peters falls. He crawls towards the USB, throwing it into the bathroom. Indigo staggers towards Peters. She dunks Peters into the tub, then gets in after him. Exhausted, Peters struggles to move Indigo. She turns the water on, asking Peters if selling the stocks was worth it, he tells her it would’ve been if the buyers had shown up first. As the water starts to cover Peters, Indigo turns the tap off. Peters spits water in her face, then pulls her down on top of him. Indigo’s held down by Peters as he tries to drown them both and she struggles to break free. Indigo kisses Peters and he releases her. She keeps him submerged as she sits up. Peters drowns. Indigo retrieves the USB and goes into the motel room. She grabs the phone, a text reads ‘What’s taking so long?’ Indigo starts getting changed with a smirk on her face.
