MADISON
(interrupts)
Thank you Uncle Ruv. Its been a long couple of weeks, you know, with the police and investigators constantly here. I think Akil just needs some time to get some rest.
UNCLE RUV
Yes yes I understand.
(gets up and places his hand on Akil's shoulder)
I'll pop in next week for the lease agreements. The board has been informed about your abence, but remember business never stops. Oh! Before I foreget, they found this in your brother's jacket pocket.
Uncle Ruv hands Akil a folded bloodied photograph.
AKIL
Thank you for coming, Uncle.
Uncle Ruv nods his head to Maddy, who feigns a smile back, and walks out.
UNCLE RUV
(stops on his way out)
Don't isolate yourself for too long. A lot of the times the darness lurks inside the home.
Uncle Ruv leaves the house.Maddy is unimpressed. Akil suspicious.
Akil sits at the head of the dining room table. He's depressed. The funeral picture of Sharm and the blood orchids sit behind him.
