The camera pans across a busy city street. People are rushing to and from, cars honk, and the sun beats down. We see MAYA, a young and driven investigative journalist, hurrying down the sidewalk.
MAYA (V.O.): My name is Maya. I'm an investigative journalist, and I've spent my life seeking the truth.
Maya stops outside a building with a sign that reads "TechLink Corporation."
MAYA (V.O.) : I'm about to uncover a story that will change everything.
INT. TECHLINK CORPORATION - DAY
Maya walks into the lobby and approaches the receptionist.
MAYA : Hi, I'm here to see Jason Novak.
RECEPTIONIST : I'm sorry, Ms. Novak is in a meeting right now.
MAYA : Can you let him know that Maya from The Daily News is here to see him? It's urgent.
The receptionist makes a call, then nods to Maya.
RECEPTIONIST : He'll see you now.
Maya takes the elevator to the top floor and walks into a spacious office. She sees JASON NOVAK, a handsome and charismatic CEO, standing near the window.
MAYA : Mr. Novak, thank you for seeing me on such short notice.
JASON : Of course, Ms. Maya. How can I help you?
MAYA : I'm investigating the disappearance of one of your employees, Zoe Reynolds. Do you have any information that could help me?
Jason looks at Maya with a guarded expression.
JASON : I'm afraid I can't discuss that with you.
MAYA : Can you at least tell me if you think she's still alive?
JASON : I'm sorry, Ms. Maya. I can't help you.
Maya looks disappointed but determined.
MAYA : Thank you for your time, Mr. Novak.
As Maya leaves the office, she sees something that catches her eye: a security camera that's pointing directly at Jason's desk.
MAYA (V.O.) : I knew there was more to this story than meets the eye.
Maya hurries out of the building, determined to find out what's really going on.
