He scrolls through his contacts.
He stops at CAMERON.
Isaiah presses CALL.
The phone rings.
After a moment, Cameron answers.
CAMERON
Hello?
Isaiah’s voice is cold.
ISAIAH
Cameron, I need you to meet me.
Cameron pauses.
CAMERON
Why?
Isaiah clenches his jaw.
ISAIAH
Just come meet me. We need to settle something.
Cameron immediately senses the tension.
CAMERON
What are you talking about?
Isaiah takes a step toward the window.
ISAIAH
You know exactly what I’m talking about.
A brief silence follows.
ISAIAH
Meet me, and we’ll settle this face-to-face.
Cameron sighs.
CAMERON
Fine. Where?
Isaiah gives him the location.
ISAIAH
Don’t keep me waiting.
He ends the call.

His expression remains angry.
SCENE 2 — CAMERON’S CAR — NIGHT
Cameron sits behind the wheel.
BROOKE is in the passenger seat.
She looks concerned.
BROOKE
Where are we going?
Cameron keeps his eyes on the road.
CAMERON
I’m going to meet Isaiah.
Brooke immediately looks at him.
BROOKE
Isaiah?
Cameron nods.
CAMERON
He called me.
Brooke’s expression changes.
BROOKE
Why?
Cameron doesn’t answer immediately.
CAMERON
I think he wants to confront me.
Brooke looks worried.
BROOKE
Then I’m coming with you.
Cameron glances at her.
CAMERON
Brooke, you don’t have to get involved.
BROOKE
I already am involved.
She looks out the window.
BROOKE
I’m not letting you go there alone.
Cameron sighs.
CAMERON
This could get ugly.
Brooke turns toward him.
BROOKE
Then I’ll be there.
Cameron finally nods.
The car continues through the night.
SCENE 3 — ISAIAH’S HOUSE — NIGHT

He checks his phone.
No message.
Then he hears a car approaching.
His expression changes.
The car pulls up.
Cameron gets out.
Brooke steps out behind him.
Isaiah’s eyes immediately land on Brooke.
His face becomes tense.
He stares at Cameron.
Then he looks at Brooke again.
His anger grows.
ISAIAH
You brought Brooke?
Cameron closes the car door.
CAMERON
She wanted to come.
Isaiah laughs bitterly.
ISAIAH
Of course she did.
Brooke steps forward.
BROOKE
What’s your problem?
Isaiah looks directly at her.
ISAIAH
You’re still with him?
Brooke looks confused.
BROOKE
I’m here because I don’t want another fight.
Isaiah shakes his head.
ISAIAH
You still don’t understand.
He points toward Cameron.
ISAIAH
I called him here.
His eyes narrow.
ISAIAH
Not you.
Brooke folds her arms.
BROOKE
Then don’t blame me for being here.
Isaiah’s anger intensifies.
SCENE 4 — THE CONFRONTATION
Cameron steps between them.
CAMERON
Isaiah, calm down.
Isaiah looks at him.
ISAIAH
You stay out of this.
Cameron doesn’t move.
CAMERON
You called me here. So talk.
Isaiah takes a step forward.
ISAIAH
I wanted to know why you keep getting involved with Brooke.
Cameron looks at Brooke briefly.
CAMERON
Because she’s my friend.
Isaiah scoffs.
ISAIAH
Just your friend?
Brooke immediately responds.
BROOKE
That’s enough.
Isaiah turns toward her.
ISAIAH
Why are you defending him?
BROOKE
Because you’re acting like you have the right to control everyone around you.
Isaiah’s expression hardens.
ISAIAH
I don’t need you defending him.
Cameron raises his hand slightly.
CAMERON
Isaiah, this isn’t going anywhere.
Isaiah’s anger suddenly boils over.
He steps toward Cameron.
ISAIAH
You wanted to meet me.
Cameron stands his ground.
CAMERON
Yes.
Isaiah points at him.
ISAIAH
Then let’s talk.
Cameron nods.
CAMERON
I’m listening.
Isaiah takes another step closer.
SCENE 5 — ISAIAH LOSES HIS TEMPER
Brooke watches the two men.
She can see the situation getting worse.
BROOKE
Isaiah, stop.
Isaiah doesn’t listen.
BROOKE
This isn’t what I came here for.
Isaiah looks at her angrily.
ISAIAH
You should have stayed out of it.
Brooke shakes her head.
BROOKE
No. I’m not going to stand here while you threaten him.
Cameron turns toward Brooke.
CAMERON
Brooke, stay back.
Isaiah suddenly moves toward Cameron.
He grabs Cameron’s shirt and shoves him backward.
Brooke gasps.
BROOKE
Isaiah!
Cameron pushes Isaiah’s hands away.
CAMERON
Don’t touch me!
Isaiah’s anger explodes.
He throws a punch toward Cameron.
Cameron steps back, trying to avoid the confrontation.
Brooke moves forward.
BROOKE
Stop!
Isaiah continues trying to attack Cameron.
Cameron raises his arms defensively.
CAMERON
I’m not here to fight you!
Isaiah ignores him.
ISAIAH
You should have stayed away from Brooke!
Brooke looks shocked.
BROOKE
Isaiah, enough!
She moves between them.
SCENE 6 — BROOKE STEPS IN
Brooke stands between Isaiah and Cameron.
Her voice is firm.
BROOKE
You’re not going to hurt him.
Isaiah stares at her.
His anger is mixed with disbelief.
ISAIAH
You’re protecting him again?
BROOKE
I’m stopping you from making this worse.
Isaiah points toward Cameron.
ISAIAH
He doesn’t belong here.
Brooke shakes her head.
BROOKE
You called him here.
She pauses.
BROOKE
You wanted to talk to him.
Isaiah’s breathing becomes heavier.
BROOKE
But the second you saw me with him, you lost your temper.
Isaiah looks away.
ISAIAH
Because you knew exactly what you were doing.
Brooke looks disappointed.
BROOKE
No.
She shakes her head.
BROOKE
I came here because I thought you wanted to talk.
Cameron stands behind her.
CAMERON
And now you’ve turned it into a fight.
Isaiah looks at Cameron again.
His fists remain clenched.
SCENE 7 — THE FINAL WARNING
Brooke looks directly at Isaiah.
BROOKE
If you’re angry with me, talk to me.
She points toward Cameron.
BROOKE
But don’t attack him because you think I shouldn’t be around him.
Isaiah remains silent.
BROOKE
You don’t get to decide who I can talk to.
Isaiah looks frustrated.
ISAIAH
So you’re choosing him?
Brooke takes a deep breath.
BROOKE
This isn’t about choosing anyone.
She looks him directly in the eyes.
BROOKE
It’s about respect.
Cameron nods.
CAMERON
She’s right.
Isaiah looks between them.
For a moment, nobody speaks.
His anger slowly turns into frustration.
Brooke takes a step back.
BROOKE
I’m leaving.
Cameron looks at her.
CAMERON
I’ll come with you.
Isaiah watches them turn toward the car.
His expression remains bitter.
ISAIAH
Brooke!
She stops.
She turns around.
ISAIAH
This isn’t over.
Brooke looks at him calmly.
BROOKE
Then next time, use words instead of your fists.
She turns away.
Cameron follows her.
They get into the car.
Isaiah remains standing outside.
The car drives away.
He watches the headlights disappear into the distance.
His fists slowly relax.
The night becomes silent.
