            (She called Mark)

Julie     : “This is Julie Fenton”

Mark    : “I’m glad you phoned”

Julie     :”I need to talk to you”

Mark    :”Pehaps it’s better if we meet.” “Can you come to Stratford tomorrow?”

Julie     :”Yes,how about two-thirty,if that’s ok?”

Mark    :”That’s fine.” “The address is on my card.”

            In Mark Ashwood’s House

Mark    : (Describe the accident once more)

Julie     :”Why do you think Colin had Bentley’s documenter? And why was he was driving Bentley’s car?”

Mark    :”I wish I knew”

            “I went to see Bentley’s wife. I expected her to be called Julie. I left foolish when I found that her name was Linda. And there was a man,I only saw him for a moment,belt he looked exactly like your husband.”

Julie     : “What?”

Mark    :”Well,obviously it wasn’t Colin.”

Julie     :”Then who was it?”

Mark    :”It could have been John Bentley.”

            “I’m sure that he and your husband had exchanged identities. I don’t know why.”

Julie     : - Silence-

            “There must have been a funeral.”

Mark    :”Yes,I suppose you’re right.”

            “Will you help me,Mark?’’

Mark    :”Yes,I’ll help you.” “Let’s go for a walk. I’ts sunny day. We can talk some more and decide what to do next.”

Mark    :”I’ll come with you.” “I can take you to where she lived.”

Julie     :”All right.” :But,can we go now?”

SCENE 15

-10 days later after Julie Fenton in hospital and allowed to go home-

Julie Fenton and Mark Ashwood became a close friend cause*Mark visited her often. Julie replace her accountant,Mr Brooker and asked Mark for it.

One sunny evening in late May,Julie and Mark go to the restaurant. Mark wanted to talk to her about the future if her company.

Mark    :”I’ve been thinking about your problem with jackman’s”

Julie     :”Tell me where we went wrong?” (Slipping a glass of cold white wine)

Mark    :”I think that instead of trying to sell your software to Jackman’s and other companies like them,you should sell them licenses to use it. You could sell licences to use the software for a period of time-perhaps a year.”

Julie     :”Go on.”

Mark    :”Well,first,It’s cheaper for the client. They get the full use the product for a year for much less than the cost of buying it. Second, if you update the product if you make improvements to it - the licence will allow the client to have the new version free. They'll always have the latest software.”

Mark keep telling Julie about his idea. He sugested that Julie’s company doesn’t need an office. Because offices are expensive. Mark thought that Juile’s staff can work at home.

Julie     :” 'Mark, you're a wonderful!” (And kissed him)

Later in the Year, Mark sold his house,moved to Bath,became the director of Julie’s company and felt in love with Julie. Julie sold her house and she went to live with Mark.

            One sunny morning,seven years after Colin Fenton;s disappearance,Mark and Julie were sitting in their garden,relaxing. Mark was looking at a book and Julie was sitting next to him,reading a newspaper.

            Suddenly Julie cried,got up quickly,leaving the paper on the chair,and walked away across the garden. Mark looked up at Julie. He wondered what had made her sad. Then he noticed a photograph in the newspaper on the chair,and he knew the answer.

            Mark put the paper down. Julie walked towards him and sat down at his side. She has stopped crying now.

Julie     :’’Seven years is a long time,” she said. “A lot has happened to me - to us. What happened seven years ago broke my life into pieces. You helped me put the pieces together again. Colin's death was an accident - it was nobody's fault. But when he was cremated as John Bentley, his name was taken away from him.’’

She pointed to the photograph of the Bentleys

Julie     :”It's always worried me that I didn't know how he got involved with those people. Perhaps now I'll learn the truth. Colin will have his own name again. At last he'll be officially dead.”
