Chapter 12: I Was Entrapped!
Entrapment pg 26: Actual Entrapment
So what would count as Entrapment? Let’s see:
Francine, wearing goggles and a tie, in front of a whiteboard with physics equations on it.
Francine is a nice, lawful young physicist at a government lab.
FRANCINE
You left out “smart” and “beautiful.”
Guy with a round head and a bad combover shocks Francine with a wad of cash
Her pal Glenn offers her ten thousand dollars if she’ll copy some files for him. She refuses.
Glenn on bended knee
Glenn pleads with her: He’s in over his head with some very bad people, and they’re going to kill him if he doesn’t get them those files.
Francine looking extremely concerned
Francine is shocked, but this is her pal’s life at stake. And the files aren’t all that important…
FRANCINE
Okay.
