CUT TO: BROADWAY DISTRICT
EXT. STEPHENS CENTER PARKING - NIGHT
SHADE, OFFICER SAWSBURY, AND HADASSAH ALL STAND IN THE BACK OF THE ALLEY WHILE THE CREATURE STANDS AT THE ENTRANCESTARING AT THEM LIFELESSLY. OFFICER SAWSBURY PULLS HIS GUN OUT AND POINTS IT AT THE CREATURE.
[Officer Sawsbury]
Alright, whatever you are. I'm going to give you one chance to walk away!
SHADE GETS OFFICER SAWSBURY TO LOWER HIS GUN.
[Officer Sawsbury]
What are you doing?
[Shade]
When I found her she had a twelve-gauge on her. I think she tried to shoot it. If that's true you're not gonna do anything to that thing. You just focus on getting her out of here. I'm gonna create an opening for you.
[Officer Sawsbury]
Alright, sounds like a plan.
SHADE WALKS OVER TO THE CREATURE AND HE NOTICES THAT ITS EYES STAY TRAINED ON HADDASAH. WHEN SHADE GETS RIGHT IN FRONT IT THE CREATURE DOESN'T BUDGE A BIT.
[Shade]
Alright, buddy, I'm gonna need you to move outta the—
AS SHADE REACHES OUT FOR THE CREATURE, IT GRABS HIS HAND AND SWINGS HIM AROUND SMASHING HIM INTO THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING TO IT'S RIGHT. AS SHADE LOOKS UP AT THE CREATURE HE SEES THAT IT'S A GOLEM.
[Shade]
(Thinking)
What the hell is it? Why isn't it saying anything?
THE GOLEM TRIES TO STEP ON SHADE, HE SINKS ONTO THE GROUND EVADING THE ATTACK. SHADE THEN SCALES UP A COUPLE OF FEET ONTO THE BUILDING AND THE GOLEM TRIES TO PUNCH HIM. SHADE JUMPS OFF THE BUILDING ONTO THE GOLEM'S BACK, CREATES A CHAIN, AND BEGINS TO MUSCLE THE GOLEM OUT OF THE ENTRANCE OF THE ALLEY.
[Officer Sawsbury]
There's that opening! Let's boogie!
OFFICER SAWSBURY AND HADASSAH RUN TO THE SQUAD CAR, GET IN AND OFFICER SAWSBURY SPEEDS AWAY. WHEN THE GOLEM SEES THIS IT BEGINS AFTER THE CAR BUT SHADE USES THE CHAIN TO KEEP IT WHERE IT IS.
[Shade]
That's not happening. If you want her, you're gonna have to go through me!
THE GOLEM GRABS THE CHAIN AROUND ITS NECK, PULLS FORWARD YANKING SHADE FORWARD, AND HEADBUTTS HIM IN THE FACE. SHADE FALLS BACK ONTO THE GROUND AND AS HE LOOKS UP HE SEES THAT THE GOLEM HAS DISAPPEARED.
[Shade]
(To himself)
Are you kidding me? There's no way it could have gotten away that fast.
AS SHADE STANDS UP, HE IS SUDDENLY KICKED IN THE CHEST BY THE GOLEM AND LANDS ON THE HOOD OF A CAR. AS SHADE BEGINS TO REGAIN HIS COMPOSURE, HE LOOKS AT THE GROUND AND SEES THE GOLEM'S SHADOW AS IT BEGINS WALKING TOWARD HIM.
[Shade]
(To himself)
This thing can turn invisible? What the hell can't it do?
THE GOLEM'S BEGINS CHARGING ENERGY AND HITS THE GROUND. THE ATTACK CREATES AN ENERGY WAY THAT THROWS EVERYTHING AROUND IT BACK MULTIPLE FEET. SHADE STOPS THE CAR THAT HE WAS ON FROM LANDING ON SOME PEDESTRIANS THEN LOOKS FOR THE GOLEM'S SHADOW ON THE GROUND.
[Shade]
(To himself)
Where is it? I don't see the shadow. Hadassah.
