THIRD PERSON

It is night and a pick-up truck arrives at the back of the Hargrove house. Billy is in his room getting ready. The parents arrive and Susan gets inside the house.

"Hey, guys, we're home,"

She called and there is no response.

"Guys?"

She called back and goes to Max's bedroom.

"Hello?"

She called and opens her daughter's bedroom.

"Max?"

There is no sight of the girl, except for a skateboard and an open window. She sighed as she closes the door of her daughter's bedroom. Meanwhile, rock music is played in Billy's bedroom. To be specific, The Four Horsemen by Metallica.He lights his cigarette looks to the mirror and puffs out a smoke from it.

He grabs a can of hairspray and its contents sprayed his hair. Making sure that his hair is intact and the mullet curls. Then pads his finger with a drop of oil and rubs it inside his pants. He then takes another puff from his cigarette.

The door knocks

"Billy?"

It's Susan, his stepmother and Max's mother.

"Yeah, I'm a little bit busy in here, Susan,"

"Open the door. Right now,"

The voice then changes to that of his father Neil. Billy puts his cigarette to the ashtray and goes to his door. He opens and reveals the couple, surprised he asked.

"What's wrong?"

"Why don't you tell us?"

His father asked, demanding questions.

"Because I don't know,"

"We can't find Maxine,"

Remarked Susan.

"And her window's open,"

Added Neil. He looks through Max's bedroom, and then to Neil.

"Where is she?"

He demanded.

"I don't know,"

Billy truthfully remarked. The Hargrove patriarch is startled by this.

"You don't know,"

He scoffs.

"Look, I'm sure she just, I don't know, went to the arcade or something. I'm sure she's fine,"

Billy walks off, getting clothes from his wardrobe. Neil followed him.

"You were supposed to watch her,"
