Truth & Honor ( Part Two )

SCENE 1:
Connor Middle School.

[ Ski pulls into the parking lot
& Billy gets out of the car. ]

"I'll be right back."

[ Getting near the building he
sees Little H. sitting on a bench
& he joins him.  Looking around
the area. ]

BILLY: Any sign of that jerk?

LITTLE H: Not today.  I'm not sur-
prised he didn't show though.
Caleb's a coward.  I only care
because of Mairya.
BILLY: Yeah I know.  So you two
fought for awhile and then he
ran, that's it?

[ Little H. shakes his head. ]

LITTLE H: I didn't want to hit
Caleb.  But he kept egging
me on.  Chasing me around
the room even. So when he
reached up to punch me I 
grabbed his fist and held it.

[ He pauses, leaving Billy
in suspense. ]

BILLY: I bet that made it
worse.  Must have been
pissed by then. 
LITTLE H: Yup then I fell but
I can't remember much after
that.  I've been wrecking
my brain trying to figure
it out all night.
BILLY: Did you hit your head?
LITTLE H: No.  We better not
leave Ski waiting anymore,
let's go.   


SCENE 2:
Larrie & Jeszyca's apartment.

[ Larrie, Tiesun, Jeszyca, and
Airynn are talking in the 
living room. ]

"Where are we headed?"

[ Airynn looks at Larrie. ]

AIRYNN:  I thought you and me
were doing this.
TIESUN: In case things get out
of hand.  We might need him.

AIRYNN: Fine.  There are a few
places the PC like to hold
gatherings around town.  We
can check those first.

LARRIE: Cool with me.  How
about I drive? 

[ He hands Tiesun the keys. ]

LARRIE: I'll be down in a few
minutes.

[ Tiesun & Airynn leave. ]

LARRIE: Wasn't Sunshine suppose
to be here?
JESZYCA: Yeah, over an hour ago.


SCENE 3:
Outside of Mark & Ski's.

[ Billy & Chais are throwing a
football while Little H sits on
the side. ]

"Do I need to go back to
Connor and beat some little
kid's ass for you?"

LITTLE H: Nope.  I'm good.

[ They continue to play and talk,
not paying attention to Little H
who has drifted off into thought.

As things turn black, H can see
himself being pursued in the
abandoned building. ]

"Don't try to move."

"Wait! . . . . . ."

[ H wakes up in a freight as
Billy is shaking him.  Chais is
leaning over. ]

CHAIS:  Are you okay man?
LITTLE H: I just need some water.

[ He goes inside the house while
Chais stands, shaking his head
at Billy. ]

CHAIS: Still think it's just a fight?


SCENE 4:
Outskirts of Magic Springs.

[ After parking; Larrie, Tiesun, &
Airynn start walking down an
alley way. ]

TIESUN: I would ask if this is safe
but I probably don't wanna know
the answer.
LARRIE: This is the fourth place
we've been to.  It's pretty clear
that these people don't want
to be found.

AIRYNN: I don't care.  And any
other humane person wouldn't
either.  

[ He stops, staring at Larrie before
walking on. ]

LARRIE: Maybe you should consider
getting your friend up there some
help.  He get's a little psycho.

[ Larrie makes a face as Tiesun
rolls her eyes walking on. ]

"Guys!  Over here."

[ They both start to run toward
the sound of Airynn's voice as
a roaring bond type fire is seen
growing in the distance. ]


SCENE 5:
Highway, middle of nowhere.

[ Sunshine steps out of the car.
Going over to the passenger
side, she looks over at her
past bosses' condition.

Now pathetically slumped
over her seat. ]

"I can't do this."

[ She sighs shaking Gerard to
get him to come to.  After a
little time passes, she starts
to gets anxious.

Her thrust on him get harder as
he's finally stirred awake. ]

SUNSHINE: Good.

GERARD: Where have you taken
me?

[ He starts to get up, feeling his
head. ]

SUNSHINE: I still have the recording.

You know I wanted to dump
your heartless soul into the
river tonight.  That was my
plan.  

Now get out.  Out of my car
and out of my life.

[ He exits & she drives away. ]


SCENE 6:
Later at Hithe's.

[ Little H walks into the living
room & sees Hithe playing a
video game on the couch. ]

"You wanna play me?"

LITTLE H: I need to tell you some-
thing about that kid at school.

[ Hithe shuts the TV off, staying
silent. ]

LITTLE H: I'll admit I started the
fight and he couldn't control
me but then it all changed.
HITHE: What happened son?

LITTLE H: I think I blacked
out or something but I
been getting my memory
back a little.  I'm pretty sure
he took advantage of me.
HITHE: Wait, in what way?

LITTLE H: Like sex Dad but I
don't want you to do anything.
I'm fine.  I swear.

[ Little H stands before Hithe
can react. ]

HITHE: This is serious.  I don't
think you realize how much.
We have to get you checked.
LITTLE H:  I did at the school
already.  No one will believe
me.  They'll just hate me.

Especially Mairya.  Please Dad.


SCENE 7:
Back in the woods. 

[ Airynn, Tiesun, & Larrie are
hiding behind a bush in view
of the fire. ]

LARRIE: This is amazing!

[ Larrie states in excitement as
Airynn gives him a look.  Suddenly
the members of the P.C are 
gathering around encircling the
peaking flames.

They stop for a second & begin a
monotone chant as a person in
a white cloth appears in the
middle. ]

AIRYNN: Oh no.  That's him.

[ A female starts to douse
his body with a clear liquid as
it soaks the sheet.

Larrie grabs ahold of Airynn
before he can move. ]

AIRYNN: Let me go.

[ Airynn breaks free just as the
woman prepares to light the
victim ]

TIESUN: Airynn no.

[ Airynn runs toward Brian, knock-
ing him over just in time. Larrie
& Tiesun run over to them. ]

AIRYNN: Now do you believe me.

[ He states sarcastially, catching
his breath. ]

Before The Finale . . . . . .

SCENE 1:

The Aisles, overnight shift.

[ Stuu, Tiesun, & Larrie are chat-

ting in the back break room. ]

STUU: It's been four months

exactly since Airynn basically

vanished from Magic Springs.

[ Larrie sighs, heavily. ]

LARRIE: Not this again bro.

Airynn is not missing.  He's just

trying to get attention anyway

he can.  It's kind of sad really.  

TIESUN: At least when he was

showing up on the news we

had some idea.  And now?

LARRIE: You're concerned? After

experiencing his antics first 

hand I'd think you'd know 

better.

[ He walks out of the room. ]

TIESUN: So what happened

when you told Weis about

the kiss?

STUU: It blew over.  Pretty

fast to my surprise.  

TIESUN: That's good.  You're

new as it is.  Don't wanna

throw fighting into the mix.

STUU: Yeah I know.  I want

to keep having fun with him.

TIESUN: And what about Joh?

STUU: He's just a friendly 

drunk.  We all know that.

TIESUN: Yeah but are you

sure that's it?  

SCENE 2:

Outside, near the school yard.

[ Mairya is walking toward an

abandoned building, looking

around she opens the door. ]

MAIRYA: See I told you it was

never locked.  

[ A young male follows her inside. ]

MAIRYA: You wanted to smoke

right?  I'll keep an eye out.

[ She stands by the door. ]

CALEB: You sure? I can't afford

to get kicked off the team.

MAIRYA: We're not gonna get

caught.

[ She comes closer, kissing Caleb for

 reassurance & he lights up.  Seconds 

later, he starts to cough. ]

MAIRYA: You okay?

CALEB: Yeah, it's just a side effect.

I thought you we're gonna join

me.

[ They jump when there's a sudden,

powerful knock outside the door. 

Mairya opens it & Caleb stands

back. ]

MAIRYA: Hey.  What is it?

SCENE 3:

Night before, The Aisles.

[ Stuu is walking around, look-

ing for Joh. ]

STUU: I know the store is big

but you can't hide from me.

[ Joh takes his earphones out

& puts down the box he was

stocking. ]

JOH: Sorry.  I've just been 

doing a lot of thinking to

myself lately.

STUU: About what?

[ Stuu comes over standing

face to face with him. ]

JOH: Maybe I kissed you

for a reason.  I mean, I've

only had one girlfriend.

Barely have any "sexual"

experience at 22.

STUU: So? I have none.

That doesn't mean you're

gay man.   

JOH: Yeah I know.

STUU: It's just a label anyway.

Just do you Joh and don't

worry about it.  I wouldn't.

JOH: Thanks.

STUU: No problem. See you

later.

SCENE 4:

Back outside the school.

[ Little H. comes inside & Mairya

shuts the door behind him. ]

LITTLE H: It's almost time for class

to start.  What are you doing out 

here.

MAIRYA: Just hanging out.  You 

know Caleb, right?

LITTLE H: Yeah, hey.

[ Caleb gives a half smile while

continuing to smoke.  He hands

the joint to Mairya. ]

LITTLE H: You're smoking?

MAIRYA: It's just one hit, it's fine.

Makes class a lot less boring.

LITTLE H: I guess.

CALEB: You want some?

LITTLE H: No, I'm good.

MAIRYA: I'm gonna go find

Trailyn.  You two try not to

kill each other while I'm gone.

[ She sprays herself with perfume

& then exits.  Caleb walks up

to H, getting in his face. ]

LITTLE H: What's your problem?

CALEB: You.  Getting in my

way with Mairya.

LITTLE H: We we're friends first

and I'm not going anywhere.

So you better just get use to

me.

SCENE 5:

Back inside TA.

[ Stuu & Zain are smashing boxes

and throwing them into the baler. ]

ZAIN: You're pretty quiet.  Has

the night been that bad?

STUU: No.  I just got a strange

text though from an unknown

number.

ZAIN: Really?  Let me see.

[ Stuu hands him his phone. ]

ZAIN:  I'm on my way to TA.

Can you meet me outside?

STUU: That's all they sent.

ZAIN: Maybe it's your man

playing a prank on you.  Or

Lee?

STUU:  I don't think so.  I have

both of their numbers.  

ZAIN: Everyone else is here.

[ They are interrupted by banging

on the back door.  Stuu looks at

Zain & then starts to walk over.

Opening the door, he stands back

a little in shock at who walks in. ]

AIRYNN: Dude, I need your help.

It's about Brian.

SCENE 6:

[ Mairya & Trailyn are walking

after class. ]

MAIRYA: I've been waiting for

a whole period.  So what do you

think about Caleb?

[ Trailyn shakes her head. ]

TRAILYN: I don't know.  He does

have this tough guy attitude

some times.

MAIRYA: You think?  He's always

been nice to me.

TRAILYN: So what happened to H

he never showed up?

MAIRYA: Not sure.  He didn't 

reply to my texts either.

[ Looking toward the abandoned

building, she sees a big guy

standing at the door.

Thinking, she runs over. ]

MAIRYA: What is going on?

Let me in!  H, are you okay?

H! 

[ She continues to yell as the

guy stands silent, blocking

her from the entrance. ]
