MAN
Final question. Are you ready?

She doesn't answer. A long, maddening a silence. Casey,
reaches up and CLICKS off the light, making Steve go
away... wishing, hoping...

CASEY
..leave me alone.. please...

"She wants you to leave her alone so leave the poor girl alone," yelled Tonks.

MAN
Answer the question and I will.

Casey is curled up on the floor like an infant, rocking slowly back and forth.

MAN
What door am I at?

CASEY
What?

MAN
There are two doors to your house. A
front door and a back one. If you answer
correctly--you live.

"Now how she is suppose to know that shit," yelled Veronika.

''She's not suppose to so he can kill her," answered Randy.

"Poor girl, she's gonna die," added Dewey.

Everyone looked at Dewey like really.

"What," asked Dewey.

From where Casey sits ahe can see both front and back doors.
She deliberates... with her last bit of strength she tries to
strategize. Eyeing both, the front door... the back
door... trying to decide between the two.

CASEY
Don't make me.. I can't... I won't.

MAN
Your call.

In the darkness, Casey crawls tot.he kitchen counter--she
leans up and grabs a long, sharp knife.

"At least she grabbed a weapon not like those dumb girls in a horror movie," said Veronika.

Casey looks around her... ahe looks down the hall to the front
door... then turns back to the kitchen glass door as it
suddenly...

SHATTERS TO BITS...

as a lawn chair comes flying through it. Exploding glass
sprays everywhere.

This incites Casey like fire. She springs to her feet... bolting out of the kitchen as a SHADOW moves quickly through the shattered doorframe.

"Damn the guys fast," said Ron.

ANGLE ON CASEY

Somewhere in the house, back flat against a window, listening
to FEET ON CRACRING GLASS. She turns and unlocks the latch,
quietly sliding it up. She can hear him move to the
foyer... to the front door.
