Interior Michael’s bedroom.
Michael wakes up he is wearing boxer shorts and a t-shirt with a very dirty collar and neck area. Michael flips through a small book on the night stand. Michael locates the phone number he was looking for and dials it. The other voice on the line is not heard.

Michael sighs..

MICHAEL sharply.
