The Road Ahead Of Us

Chapter 73

FADE IN

INT. HOTEL - DAY

~They appear again, in new clothes, leaving the hotel when the woman at the desk called her name.~

WOMAN(O.S.)

Ma'am! It was you! You and the other girl look just like the two missing girls!

~ABIGAIL didn't even look back at the woman as she and ANNIE ran. Forgetting that the road was a busy street, they ran out in front of a car, and the person driving the car hit the brakes and the car stopped. ABIGAIL looked at the person in the car. The camera zoomed in on the person, and the face of JOHN appeared, his eyes wide. He got out of the car just as ABIGAIL gave ALEXIS to ANNIE and ran to hug him. They hugged each other tightly, both crying.~

JOHN(O.S.)

I'm so happy you're alright.

ABIGAIL(O.S.)

We need to leave before they start looking for us again. I'll explain everything in the car.

~JOHN nods, and ABIGAIL motioned for ANNIE to get in the back seat with ALEXIS. She did and they left in the car, JOHN driving.~

JOHN(O.S.)

Who were they? Whose kid is that?

ABIGAIL(O.S.)

JOHN, just stop and listen. I'm gonna start from the beginning.

~She started telling him, leading up to the days before, when the escaped. He turned right.

ABIGAIL(O.S.)

What are you doing?

JOHN(O.S.)

We're going to the police station. The place where your boyfriend spent hours almost every day for the past two years looking for you. And we're gonna have those men arrested. Then I'm gonna call your family while you both tell the police everything you told me.

ABIGAIL(O.S.)

You have no idea how happy I am to see you.*She cried.*

~He put a hand over hers and looked at her.~

JOHN(O.S.)

Trust me. I know.

FADE OUT

INT. POLICE STATION - DAY

~They all appeared again at the police station. There were two paramedics there, taking care of their two year old injuries, and some from when they were beaten before they escaped. JOHN stood a few feet away from them, calling DANNY. Again, the screen split in two so you could see both of their faces, along with the whole family on DANNY'S side.~

DANNY(O.S.)

Hello?

JOHN(O.S.)

Daniel, you're not gonna believe me when I tell you this, but you need to come to the police station.

DANNY(O.S.)

Why? What's going on? Did they find her?

JOHN(O.S.)

No, but I did.
