LYNN
(yells)
Go!
Cole gets up -- never taking his eyes off his mother -- and
leaves the room.
CUT TO:
INT. HALL - NIGHT
Cole enters the DARK HALLWAY. He gets startled by the SOUND OF
HIS PUPPY GROWLING.
Sebastian comes racing down the hall and scurries past Cole.
Cole watches his puppy dart into the living room and under a
couch.
Cole slowly turns back and looks down the hall.
THE DOOR TO COLE'S ROOM SITS AT THE END OF THE CORRIDOR. IT'S
ALMOST SHUT. COLE WATCHES AS THE DOOR BEGINS TO OPEN VERY
SLOWLY. IT OPENS WIDE. COLE DOESN'T MOVE AN INCH.
SUDDENLY IN THE STILLNESS AND THE DARKNESS, A SMALL FIGURE
SCURRIES FROM ANOTHER BEDROOM INTO THE BLACKNESS OF COLE'S ROOM.
IT HAPPENS LIKE A FLASH.
Cole stops breathing.
THE FIGURE SLOWLY STEPS OUT FROM COLE'S DOORWAY.
IT'S A BOY. A FEW YEARS OLDER THAN COLE.
THE BOY WHISPERS IN A LOW, HOARSE VOICE.
BOY
Come on... I'll show you where my
dad keeps his gun... Come on.
THE BOY TURNS. WE SEE THAT THE BACK OF HIS HEAD IS MISSING AS HE
DISAPPEARS INTO THE DARKNESS OF COLE'S ROOM.
Cole is too terrified to move.
CUT TO:
INT. KITCHEN - NIGHT
Lynn is kneeling on the kitchen floor trying to coax the puppy
out of the broom closet.
COLE (o.s.)
Momma.
Lynn turns -- surprised to hear her son's voice. Lynn's eyes are
red from crying. She wipes them quickly with the back of her
hand.
Mother and son look at each other. Beat.
COLE
If you're not very mad... Can I
sleep in your room tonight?
Lynn fights back some tears.
LYNN
Look at my face, Cole.
Cole does. Lynn smiles at her son.
LYNN
I'm not very mad.
Lynn hugs him. Beat.
