LISA is waiting for her online date in a bar – Sien or Lucy. It's busy, and around her people are coming and going. She seems to be the only one sitting at a table on her own.

LISA, dictating a voice memo to a friend

Man. I can’t believe this guy has made me come all the way out to the Zuidas and is now late himself. I’ve been here for 15 minutes and people are starting to look funny. I’m leaving this joint any minute – are you still going to Europizza? Can I join you guys there?

She puts down her phone and angrily takes a sip from a glass of wine.

WAITER

Can I get you anything else?

LISA

Ah no thanks, I'm waiting for someone.

WAITER

All right, I'll come back when your date arrives.

LISA, into her phone

The waiters here pity me. I'm leaving soon. This is embarassing.

She pulls a makeup mirror out of her bag, along with a dark lip liner, and opens both to do a little touchup, when, in the mirror, she sees something odd. 

LISA, muttering to herself

What the fuck?

She recognizes the face in the little square. Dark curls. Amber eyes.

It’s the man she was meant to meet, looking directly at her, sitting a few tables behind her.

She quickly turns around. 

LISA

Hey! Hamid! What are you doing there?

HAMID makes a run for it.

Lisa grabs her bag and runs after him only to lose track of him in a crowd in the lobby.

She walks after him through the revolving doors and finds the street completely empty.

LISA, calling WIKTORIA

Hey babe, it’s me. I'm coming over. Things just took a really weird turn. Found the guy I was supposed to meet spying on me from behind.

WIKTORIA, shouting in speaker mode

You what???

LISA

Yes, he was just a few tables behind me. I saw him in my pocket mirror.

WIKTORIA

Girl. That is wild. Better get the fuck out of there. Is he still around, you think?

LISA

I don’t know. He vanished. But can you just stay on the phone? It’s giving me the creeps that I don't know where he actually went.

As she walks away, still talking to WIKTORIA on speaker phone, Hamid watches her walk towards the platform of Station Zuid.

LISA's phone buzzes.

LISA

Hold up, babe. I'm getting a text.

[Gasp]

Lisa looks around and starts running.
