SCENE 1:
Same night, The Aisles.
[ Airynn is talking to Stuu in a
corner with Zain close behind. ]
AIRYNN: You have no clue how
many hours of pointless and
time sucking rituals I've been
dragged through.
STUU: Then you should've came
back. I bet your little brother
is panicked by now.
AIRYNN: Yeah well he's the only
one who cared. No one around
here gave a shit.
[ He nods in Zain's direction. ]
STUU: That's not true. Me and
Tie talked about you daily. Ski
did too. You're the one who
turned off your phone. Did
they make you do that to stay?
AIRYNN: No, I wanted to. Minus their
strict hold on the bible they we're
really nice people. I never wanted
for anything. Unlike at home.
STUU: Okay, then why are you
here?
AIRYNN: Come out to my car, I
need to show you something.
[ In the parking lot, Stuu joins
Airynn behind his vehicle.
Slowly he starts to open the
trunk & then pulls up a dark
covering.
Looking down, Stuu jumps back
as a young man is revealed
tied with his hands and feet.
Taped on his mouth. ]
SCENE 2:
Back at the school yard.
[ The young watcher moves, right as
the door of the building swings
open. Caleb run outs. Looking
down & figetting with his belt
buckle. ]
MAIRYA: What the hell is going on?
CALEB: We we're just coming to an
understanding in there. It's cool now.
[ He signals his friend & they quickly
leave the area. Little H comes
out now, staying in the doorway. ]
MAIRYA: Okay? You could've done
that here.
[ H walks over to her & Trailyn. ]
LITTLE H: Sorry I didn't respond.
[ He keeps his glance at the ground. ]
LITTLE H: He just wanted to make
sure I wouldn't get into the
way of you two dating.
[ They stare at him. ]
LITTLE H: Aren't we going
toward home?
[ H walks a little faster and the
two girls start to follow. ]
SCENE 3:
Outside The Aisles.
"Larrie was right. You are out
of your mind."
[ Stuu starts to walk away but
Airynn catches up, guiding him
back toward the car. ]
STUU: Explain to me how this
isn't kidnapping.
AIRYNN: Listen, I'm trying to save
him. All of them.
STUU: From what? Too much praising
of God.
AIRYNN: No it's a lot more serious.
Look at this.
[ He shows Stuu an online article
off a cell phone. ]
STUU: Human sacreficing? Never
heard of someone actually doing
that. Very far fetched.
AIRYNN: Brian considers himself
a leader and the PC better than
any organized religion. He's
always trying to up his spritual
game. It makes sense.
Plus this is his phone.
STUU: Okay but how do you know
they actually would try to pull
something like this off?
AIRYNN: Here. It's the last post
off Brian's reflection blog
before I took him.
"I feel the light brighter today as
if someone we're telling me to
trust what I know inside. PC
is truth and soon we (I) will
make our mark."
[ Airynn looks up as Stuu's expression
turns from cynical to scared. ]
SCENE 4:
At Hithe's Apartment.
[ Little H steps out of the bathroom
after a shower. Seeing Hithe at
the kitchen table, he walks right
up & gives him a short hug. ]
HITHE: Hey buddy. Something up?
LITTLE H: No. That was okay, right?
HITHE: Of course it is.
LITTLE H: Alright. It just we weren't
allowed to touch anyone at the
home.
HITHE: I understand. How was school?
LITTLE H: Good. I'm gonna take a
nap before dinner.
[ He leaves the room. Meanwhile,
inside TA Salon. ]
SASCHA: I'm guessing her & Renzo
worked out their diffences.
[ She points at Sunshine who is
staring out the window. ]
JESZYCA: Something like that.
SASCHA: Either way it's good for
you. Right?
JESZYCA: Except.
[ She leans over and whispers. ]
JESZYCA: He got out today and I'm
worried about Sunshine.
SASCHA: After her friend's defense
and everything?
JESZYCA: Yup, it wasn't enough.
[ Sunshine comes over. ]
SUNSHINE: I know what you're
talking about. Even though we
didn't get what we wanted I've
put that aside. It's cool really.
He's on his way now to talk.
SCENE 5:
Back outside The Aisles.
[ Tiesun is walking toward the
car while Bryan is sitting in
the back, still tied & Airynn
is feeding him grapes. ]
TIESUN: Stuu is freaking out
inside so I thought I come
out here and check on you.
Turns out things are weirder
than I ever thought.
AIRYNN: I can't let him go. I
have a feeling something bad
is gonna happen as soon as
I do.
What is your opinion? You've
been around.
TIESUN: What, the streets?
[ She starts to laugh & Airynn
comes over facing her direction. ]
TIESUN: You are not the cops
or an institution so you should
probably untie him at least.
Just keep a close eye and
make sure he's not doing
anything dangerous.
AIRYNN: You're right. I mean,
he isn't a hostage.
[ Airynn goes to untie Brian
but he is no where in sight.
Tiesun walks over to the
open passenger door. ]
TIESUN: Should've checked your
car first amatuer.
[ She pulls out a blade that was
lying on the seat. ]
SCENE 6:
Hithe's, Little H's room.
[ H is laying in his bed under
the covers when he recieves
a text. ]
BILLY: Sorry it took so long.
What's up?
LITTLE H: Remember when
you told me about what really
happened with you and that
videographer last summer?
BILLY: Yeah, well I couldn't
tell Chais. He was already
starting to wonder about me.
LITTLE H: I know well something
bad happened at school today
with me and this boy Caleb.
BILLY: What was it?
LITTLE H: If I tell, you better
keep your mouth shut. I don't
want Mairya or Dad or Ski
to know about this.
BILLY: It's cool, I wont tell them.
I more concerned about you man.
LITTLE H: Good. I'll see you at
Ski's tommorow. Tell you then.
Later and thanks.
BILLY: Alright later.
FOR A CALMING END: READ BLUE
FOR A HEATED END: READ ORANGE
SCENE 7:
Outside the Salon.
[ Sunshine gets into a sportsy car
with tinted windows and shuts the
door. ]
"After trying to get me framed, I
didn't expect to be meeting up
this way."
SUNSHINE: Yeah well, I'm a different
person now from the one you
trapped and brought here.
There's a reason why I didn't
join Madeline in court.
GERARD: Oh yeah, what is that?
SUNSHINE: You can't play dumb
with me. I know what you we're
planning when you got here.
Not sure what happened to
the others but they are around
here somewhere, I bet.
GERARD: Always knew you were
smart. What an idiot I'd be, if
I left them to be found.
SUNSHINE: Right so here's the
deal. When you start back again,
I want in.
GERARD: Why should I?
SUNSHINE: Otherwise I'll give the
cops this.
[ She pulls out her phone, stopping
the voice recording app. ]
SUNSHINE: If you touch me, I'll scream.
[ She quickly flees the car as it speeds
out of the parking lot. ]
T H E E N D.
SCENE 7:
Outside the Salon.
[ Sunshine gets into a sportsy car
with tinted windows and shuts the
door. ]
"After trying to get me framed, I
didn't expect to be meeting up
this way."
SUNSHINE: Yeah well, I'm a different
person now from the one you

There's a reason why I didn't
join Madeline in court.
GERARD: Oh yeah, what is that?
SUNSHINE: You can't play dumb
with me. I know what you we're
planning when you got here.
And I'm putting a stop to this
right now.
[ Before he can flinch, Sunshine
grabs a heavy object out of her
purse and slams Gerard in the
back of the head.
Trading sides, she pushes him
over and he slumps into the
seat. ]
"We're going for a ride."
