Cut to Billy Abbott nRAghgb.jpg.

He is parked outside of the Paradise Casino.

BILLY: …Paradise. This place really is.

He seems lost in thought....

BILLY: Do I really want to do this though. Go right at my vices in a casino. Gambling and drinking.

He gets out of the car.

BILLY: I do. I think I finally have my vices under control…

He enters the casino.

BILLY: And Why not just take a gamble on my first night in town.

Paul Ryan wgAo4ku.jpg and

Emily Ryan BQO99hF.jpg are in the middle of an argument.

EMILY: You frustrate me so much!

PAUL: I try not to. I think you are just constantly frustrated.

EMILY: No. You do this to me.

Their teenage daughter Eliza enters the room. qdDGOsg.jpg

ELIZA: You two are arguing again? Surprise! Not.

PAUL: I’m trying not to but your step mother loves to.

Eliza walks to her bedroom.

ELIZA: I Really need to move into a dorm and get away from here.

She puts in some headphones.

EMILY: We have been having money issues for how long now?! Feels like years. And what is the first thing you do when you FINALLY are able to get a loan? No not put it in savings so we can get back on our feet. It is to spend it all!

PAUL: I am not just spending it. I am investing it.

EMILY: Investing in your mother and not your family!

PAUL: I am going to get Barbaras company up and running again. I will work for BRO to make the money back. You have to spend money to make money.

Emily shoots Paul daggers.

Terrance Smith has made his way into town. He is parked at some warehouse.

Another car pulls up. Its is Steve Johnson.

STEVE: Come with me.

TERRANCE: Yes, sir.

The two go inside the warehouse and shake hands.

TERRANCE: Nice to meet you Agent Johnson.

STEVE: I am so glad you are finally here Agent Smith. I hear you are the best up and comer in your field.

TERRANCE: I am but I would love to be briefed on what is going on.

STEVE: Well Its like this. My wife thinks we are in town because she got this good job at the hospital but the ISA worked that because I needed to be here. We are all here to find her brother, another Agent for the ISA. This is Operation find Bo Brady.

TERRANCE: What is the latest?

STEVE: Paradise New Mexico was the last place Bo Brady was seen alive and he has not been heard from in months. We need to find my old Pal, Bo…before it is too late.

I absolutely LOVED IT!!!

This was a really good start. You have characters down pat, really well! I LOVED that u brought Britt into the whole mix. Cannot wait to see what you have in store for her and Billy.

Operation find Bo Brady. This could get really good, really fast!

Cannot wait for #2!

Good idea for a show BTW.

Lots going on here. I am looking forward to seeing how all of them will connect.

Where's Meg?

Steve and Terrance are trying to find Bo. Could he be the guy that was tied up in Union Creek?

I like that you establish the characters and then the cliffhanger to keep us wanting more....

I'm glad the cliffhangers are hooking you! If I could pull a 1989 Pam Long and have a cliffhanger in almost every episode, I would lol.

Good start. I'm liking the setting, lots of potential here. Some great stuff springing up from all different angles. A bit early to really know much so far bit it's a good starting point, and I can't wait to see how everyone entangles down the road :D
