Meeting Room Mystery

Title: Meeting Room Mystery

Fade in:

EXT. OFFICE BUILDING – DAY

A sleek glass building under a bright sky.

Cut to:

INT. MEETING ROOM – DAY

Karen, 40s, stands over a laptop, frowning. An unopened box of donuts sits on the table… minus one donut.

KAREN
(speaking to herself)
I put twelve in here this morning. Twelve.

KAREN (CONT'D)
Could’ve been Dave… he always smells like glaze.

KAREN (CONT'D)
Tomorrow, I’m watching this box all day.

Just then, the LAPTOP SCREEN flickers — the office’s security camera shows Karen herself earlier that morning, sleepily taking a donut… and eating it.

She stares at the footage in stunned silence.

KAREN (CONT'D)
…Well, at least I caught the culprit.

Fade out.
