Amber:          No not at all (pause) thanks for agreeing to meet with me (pause)

Jake:               (smiles and nods)

Amber:          Why don’t you start by explaining what happened

Jake:               (Voiceover while they look like they’re talking) so I started to explain to her what had happened (pause) she was really easy to talk to (pause) we were talking for hours all about it (pause) I think she can help me find Emily

                        We’ve been meeting up a lot since (pause) the second time wasn’t planned, I was walking home from work and we bumped into each other (pause) we stopped and chatted for a while and planned to meet up again the following day (pause) I told her that she could come to mine so we could check the page regularly and use my computer and phone (pause) I was looking forward to spending more time with her (pause) I feel really comfortable around her already like I’ve known her for ages

                        She came round the next day and we spent hours calling people who know Emily (pause) I called Emily’s friends (pause) they said that some girl had come over to Emily and said something and she got annoyed (pause) and because of that she didn’t want to get in the taxi with the others (pause) she wanted to walk home on her own (pause) but the strange thing is that no one knows who that girl was (pause) they said she had blonde hair but that’s all they saw of her (pause) not that that narrows it down, a lot of girls have blonde hair

                        Amber said I could come round the next day and we could try and find the girl (pause) I arrived her house and she said that we would go to her room because her roommate doesn’t like meeting people (pause) we just sat on her bed and searched the internet (pause) but we didn’t have much luck because Emily’s friends’ didn’t know much about the girl (pause) me and Amber have gotten a lot closer too (pause) when I’m with her, the pain of Emily disappears for a while (pause) she’s so supportive I don’t think I could have done this without her

Amber:          Let me know if you find anything?

Jake:               I will, see you soon (walks out door)

Amber:          Bye (closes door turns around and smiles then walks to the other room)
