Take Us To The Body
Kevin:
Wow, a murder and a trainwreck all in one. So how long was it between discovering the body and calling us?

XIAO-LI:
I didn’t call

Kevin:
You didn’t?

XIAO-LI:
You are mistaken, I must say
I’ve only now discovered it myself
My Kem, my darling boy, his woe is over at long last
In heaven now he rests

Kevin:
Oh bloody hell. Lady, you can’t tell me you’re glad that—

Abi:
Kevin, we all deal with grief differently

Kevin:
Ok, ok, you’re right. I know. *Sighs* Can you please take us to the body?

XIAO-LI:
Zippy, did you call these nice detectives?
Kevin:
Zippy?

XIAO-LI:
Zippy controls all security

Kevin:
Zippy?

XIAO-LI:
He’s an AI that my husband has created

ZIPPY:
You said Zippy, that is me!
I’m Zippy, I’m your virtual assistant, can I help you out with something on this bright and lovely day?

Xiao-Li:
My husband’s sense of humor

ZIPPY:
I heard you say dead body, is that right, it just so happens that we have one here about, just step this way!

Kevin:
Zippy, did you call us?

ZIPPY:
The sad boy, who no one will notice, crying for help, no one comes
Darkness, someone has taken, someone has taken the sun
Xiao-Li:
Zippy, what are you on about?

ZIPPY:
I’m Zippy I’m your virtual assistant, can I help you out with something on this bright and lovely day?
I heard you say dead body, is that right, it just so happens that we have one here about, just step this way!

Kevin:
We’ll talk alone later. Zippy, can you please take us to the body?

Zippy:
Sure thing!
