Plot points/Scenes
PREVIEW SCENE
Crimson blood drips slowly, softly, into the fibers of the freshly shampooed carpet. Seated and bound in a chair is a young woman. Thin and short in stature with medium length silky black hair. Her head hangs low as her breathing is labored. She wears a pair of black jeans and a blue baseball style shirt which reads "Phoenix Team" on the front.
Around her stands a group of people. A tall woman. A short homely looking man and a series of guards. The man looks as if he had just pulled sharply away from the seated woman.

The tall woman nods and plants a hand on his shoulder.
