(Phone rings - picks it up) The FBI? Yes put them through please Anthea …... this is Alex Garcia, how can I help you?

(On the phone) Yes .. Mr/Mrs Garcia, my name is Agent Anthony/Antonia Cooper, FBI. I have something rather delicate to discuss with you in person, but first, can you tell me, do you have a student aged 15 at your school going by the name of Nicola/Nicolas Guzman?

Well, yes I do he/she is just about to join our 6th form, one of our brightest students, very interested in politics.

Yes, that’s what I thought. May I please make an appointment to see you this afternoon? It’s very urgent.

I’m afraid I’m busy this afternoon, could we make it later in the week perhaps?

Mr/Mrs Garcia, as I said it’s very urgent.

Yes, but I’m busy with some parents this afternoon sorry Agent Cooper!

I’m sorry, maybe you didn’t hear where I’m from: I’m from the anti-terrorist department of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and I need to talk to you as a matter of urgency about your student Nicola/Nicolas Guzman. I’m afraid you’ll have to re-arrange your other meeting this afternoon, I’ll be with you in an hour.

Agent Cooper … I …. (phone hangs up) … Agent Cooper?! … Agent Cooper? (Puts the phone down, and looks worried - calls to Anthea) Anthea, please could you send Nicola/Nicolas Guzman to my office right away, thank you.

Ahh, Nicola/Nicolas, please sit down and thank you for coming to see me, I hope I didn’t drag you away from any important subjects?

Actually we were doing ‘the political struggles in Argentina and Brazil’ and I was really enjoying it. Did you know that Argentina is rich in Lithium, which is used in batteries.

Oh, right, I didn’t know that …

.. and minerals, it’s one if the fastest growing economies in the world, but they say that the government is corrupt, and doesn’t provide for the poor.

No, I didn’t know that Nicola/Nicolas. Look the reason I’ve asked to talk to you is that I’ve received a worrying phone call from the FBI. (NICOLA/NICHOLAS shrugs)

So?

So? .. Well they want to talk to you.

Me? What about?

I … don’t know. Maybe about your strong political views. Do you make them public?

Of course I do. I’m on Twitter and Facebook all the time and have a blog about my views. America and the UK are taking advantage of smaller countries in peril, fueling demonstrations and uprisings for their own good, and I have proof! They want to invade and take all their natural resources, as they have done for 100’s of years, and now it’s no different. (Phone rings)

Yes, Anthea. Oh my goodness, that was quick. (To Nicola/Nicolas) It’s AGENT Cooper from the FBI - he/she’s here! (Anthea shows in Agent. Cooper) Take a seat please. This is Nicola/Nicolas, now then Agent Cooper, what can we do for you?

Good afternoon Nicola/Nicolas. Now then, I have to tell you that we have been monitoring your activity online and have information about a suspected terrorist plot you may know something about!

Don’t be ridiculous, he/she’s just a child!

Thank you Mr/Mrs Garcia, I ‘m sure Nicola/Nicolas can answer my questions without your help! (To Nicola/Nicolas) Well Nicola/Nicolas?

I’m sorry I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. I use my Twitter and Facebook accounts to air my views, but that’s all, not to plot terrorist atrocities! How crazy would that be??!!

Then you don’t know who the ERP are?

ERP? .. No.

The People's Revolutionary Army of Argentina?

No! What are you talking about??

Look I think this has really gone far enough, now leave the poor boy/girl alone … please!!

(Carries on questioning) Is this your Twitter account? (Shows NICOLA/NICHOLAS: a laptop he/she nods looking guilty) .. and your Facebook account?

Yes!! But I didn’t write any of that stuff on there, that’s not me, they’re not my posts!!

Then why did you respond to them?

I didn’t … well maybe I did, but I didn’t post the original posts ‘we shall overthrow our corrupt government etc etc’

But you did respond didn’t you? (no answer - stands threateningly) DIDN’T YOU???

Ok, ok, this has gone far enough, that’s quite enough interrogation for one day, if you want to make any accusations, then please do it through the proper channels. (Stands up) I think we’ve co-operated quite enough, now if you wouldn’t mind, please will you leave my office and my school immediately.

We’ll be in touch, Nicola/Nicholas. Mr/Mrs Garcia - (Nods to them both and walks out)

I don’t understand Mr/Mrs Garcia, the only place I ever access my Twitter and Facebook accounts are at school at lunchtimes, but that really bad post was done at 5pm on a Saturday … I mean who has access to the school on a Saturday and would have my passwords, I keep them in my desk?? ….

Thank you Nicola/Nicholas, you may go now.

Unless? … (looks at Mr/Mrs Garcia) Where were you born Mr/Mrs Garcia?

Andrea, show Nicola/Nicholas back to his/her class now please, she/he will be doing detention with me after school!! We have something to discuss.
