KEVIN : Khan!

KHAN : What?!

KEVIN : Let's get out of here man.

KHAN : Yeah, yeah okay. Let me just find the light.


He shuffles slowly towards the door and feels for the light switch. He finds it and flips the light on. His jaw drops. What was a few moments ago a room full of musical equipment is now completely empty. Khan blinks and shakes his head in disbelief.


KEVIN : What the hell man? What the hell?

KHAN : Come on. We're getting out of here. Now.


He goes over to Kyle who we see was shot in the leg and helps him up. The two hobble out into the hall towards the living room.


KHAN : Kyle!


He stops.


KHAN : Kyle?


Kevin and Khan exchange looks again. They move forward some more and Khan switches on the living room light. The room is completely empty as well. Khan shakes his head and runs his hand through his hair.


KEVIN :What? No, no, no. Kyle! Where are you man?!

KHAN : This is crazy. Kyle! Come on where are you?

MINDY : Kyle! Kyle! Kyle! I'm afraid Kyle's not here boys.

KHAN : Where is he? Where are you? Show yourself dammit!


A strong gust of wind tears through the house.


MINDY : You come into my house and want to ask me questions? You want to steal from me like you deserve my stuff, stuff that I work hard for and you're making demands right now? No! 


The wind intensifies at the last 'no' blowing so hard Kevin loses balance and falls over taking Khan with him. The wind settles back down into a gentle breeze and the two brothers try gathering their wits. Khan is breathing heavily and Kevin's lip is trembling. Khan sits up.


KHAN : Look, lady, I'm sorry okay, I'm sorry. Just give us back our brother and we'll leave, I promise.


Silence.

The front door creaks open. The brothers exchange looks.

Khan helps Kevin up and the two moved gingerly to the front door.


KEVIN : What about Kyle? Khan, we can't leave without him.

KHAN : He's probably outside.

KEVIN : But what if he isn't?

KHAN: Kevin

KEVIN : Kyle! Kyle!

KYLE : Kevin!


The two stop at the sound of their brother's voice. It's coming from inside the house.
