Nicole Martinez: [Ryn opens the front door after Nicole knocks] So sorry. I forgot to pee. Can I come in for a minute? Bathroom.
Ryn: Okay, yes.
Nicole Martinez: [Nicole enters the living room] Actually, I'm good.
[Nicole turns around to face Ryn]
Nicole Martinez: I know who you are. I know what you are.
[Ryn hisses at Nicole]
Nicole Martinez: Hey. Hey. Calm down. This is not a big deal. I'm not gonna hurt you. I didn't expect you to be so human.
Ryn: Ryn is not human. Ryn is Ryn.
Nicole Martinez: Sorry. I just meant that you're special. Unique. I want to learn all about you. Study you. So do my friends.
Ryn: Study Ryn. Like Ben and Maddie?
Nicole Martinez: Yes. But they can't protect you like my friends can. You know you're not safe here, right?
Ryn: I know this.
Nicole Martinez: My friends are powerful.
Ryn: What is powerful?
Nicole Martinez: They're people who protect the country and who can protect your pack, too. Soldiers.
Ryn: [Ryn opens her eyes angrily] Soldiers hurt my sister.
Nicole Martinez: That was a big mistake.
Ryn: Go. Now.
Nicole Martinez: Okay. Remember I can protect everybody you care about if you help me. This can be our secret.
[Nicole leaves and Ryn thinks alone]
