SCENE ONE:
Evening time, outside Jenni's.
[ Ski pulls up in his same-named
sports vehicle. Coming to a halt-
-ing loud stop, Chais gets inside. ]
"Drive much?"
SKI: Get in. Your brother caught you
in the backyard last night. Since
when did you start lying to me?
CHAIS: Since I turned 17 I don't
have to tell you everything.
I mean, you're own ex
boyfriend smokes and you
don't get on him.
SKI: Exactly and he's struggling
to quit. I know you're only smoking
a few now but you will eventually
become addicted.
CHAIS: I don't care. Sometimes its
the only way I have to deal with
my stress.
SKI: Please. You have it way easier
than a lot of people. What are you
so stressed about?
CHAIS: You and Mark are always
pressuring me. I don't get into
school like Jai and I'm not as
smart.
SKI: We weren't trying to make
you feel bad. We just want you
to do your best.
CHAIS: Yeah okay. I'm going to Billy's.
[ Despite Ski calling him, Chais
continues to walk away. Leaving
Ski standing in the driveway. ]
SCENE TWO:
Later that night, at Hithe's.
[ Hithe & Little H are finishing up
dinner while Kristyn is sitting at the
kitchen island. ]
HITHE: Did Mairya find it in one of
her moods not to join us tonight?
[ Kristyn smiles a little. ]
KRISTYN: Oh she's coming. Just had
to pick up a friend.
LITTLE H: Yeah. She wouldn't miss
your barbecue Dad.
[ H pats Hithe on his shoulder before
walking in the other direction. ]
HITHE: Cool. I haven't seen Trailyn
in awhile.
KRISTYN: It's actually a guy friend.
[ She sort of whispers as Little H
comes by placing plates on the
table slowly. Then the doorbell
rings. ]
LITTLE H: I'll get it.
[ Opening the door, H is shocked
to find Mairya & Caleb standing
in front of him. ]
MAIRYA: Go introduce yourself to
my mom.
[ After he leaves. ]
MAIRYA: Sorry I didn't tell you
that Caleb is back. I just found
out he was coming a few days
ago. It's okay, right?
LITTLE H: Yeah it's fine. Go make
a plate. I'll be in there in a second.
[ H stays frozen for a minute. Unable
to snap himself out of it as flashbacks
of the back building incident start
to run over & over in his mind. ]
SCENE THREE:
Meanwhile, at Mark & Ski's.
[ Mark & Ski are laying side by
side in the living room watching
a movie. ]
MARK: You haven't said but two
words to me since I got home.
Is something going on?
[ Ski sits up sighing, facing Mark. ]
SKI: Yeah it's Chais. I didn't want
to bring this up but it's getting
worse.
He won't listen to anything I
tell him now.
MARK: I should knock him in
his hard head.
SKI: I doubt that will solve any-
thing. We need to think a little
harder about this.
MARK: He's always been that way
with me. He'll purposely do the
opposite of what I say just to
get me going.
SKI: If we take away his license, he'll
just drive without it. If we try and
ground him here, he'll just walk
out on us.
MARK: That's fine then.
SKI: What do you mean?
MARK: We'll just make it crystal
clear. Next time that he decides
to break a rule. He can stay gone.
That way there's no surprises.
SKI: I don't know if I agree.
[ He lays back down near Mark,
ending their conversation. ]
[ Mairya, Caleb, Kristyn, Little H
& Hithe are all eating at the table. ]
MAIRYA: What do you think of the
ribs? I know they're your favorite.
It's Hithe's own sauce.
[ She smiles at Caleb, trying to engage
him in the conversation. ]
CALEB: It's good. Everything is.
Thanks for inviting me.
HITHE: No problem. So you just
got back into town?
MAIRYA: Yeah. His parents made
him move away for awhile.
[ Little H stays silent while Mairya
continues. ]
KRISTYN: We can all tell that you're
happy to see him.
LITTLE H: I'll be right back. Excuse
me.
[ H walks out into the living room
& Hithe follows him. ]
HITHE: What is going on with you?
You've been silent ever since they
got here.
LITTLE H: It's nothing. I just need a
minute.
HITHE: Why are you shaking then?
Wait a minute. Is this the guy from
the school?
[ H just shakes his head, not looking
to see Hithe's reaction. ]
SCENE FIVE:
Middle of the night, TA.
[ Ski is sitting in his office looking
at the securities cameras when
Joh walks inside. ]
SKI: Hey. Is everyone here?
JOH: Yeah Stuu was a little late
but he called.
SKI: Okay cool.
[ Joh sits down across from Ski. ]
SKI: You will never guess what
I found on here.
[ Johs gets up, standing next to him. ]
SKI: Just watch this.
[ Ski unpauses the screen as Charles is
seen sneaking up behind someone. They talk
for awhile & then he starts shoving the
unknown into the freezer.
A minute later, Syria appears. Yelling
at Charles. Joh starts to laugh. ]
SKI: This is serious. I think that was
the Mirror bakery manager. You know
the policy about employee contact.
JOH: This is for sure a violation.
What are you going to do?
SKI: I have no choice but to report it.
[ Joh leaves & Ski starts dialing on
his phone. ]
SCENE SIX:
[ Hithe walks right up to Caleb
with Little H at a safe distance
behind. ]
HITHE: We need to talk.
[ Caleb follows Hithe into the
living room. ]
HITHE: After what you've done you
have some nerve just showing
up here. You forced yourself
onto my son.
CALEB: No direspect but I don't
think you have the whole story.
H was enticing and pretty much
asking to.
[ Mairya walks in & Caleb looks
back at Little H. ]
CALEB: I realize how this may seem
but I'm telling you it wasn't one-
sided. Maybe you don't know
your son very well but he liked
it.
[ Mairya just stares at him with a
disturb look on her face. Hithe sits
back but before he knows what he
is doing has lunged at Caleb knocking
him to the ground. ]
KRISTYN: What the hell is going
on out here? Hithe!
LITTLE H: Dad, let him go!
SCENE TWO:
Later that night, at Hithe's.
[ Hithe & Little H are finishing up
