Scenes 61-62

SCENE SIXTY ONE

EXT AND INT. ASSORTED - DAY

JAMON is looking around the parking lot with a grim look on his face. CUT TO: EVA is on the computer. She takes a few sheets of paper from the printer and has a sad look. CUT TO: VEGAS is in the cafeteria, people talking at her, but she doesn't notice. She picks at her food and looks to the side with an identical sad look. CUT TO: KYLE sits with his head in his hands on his bed.

SCENE SIXTY TWO

EXT. PARKING LOT - NIGHT

The four are dressed in all black and have their backpacks on. (EVA'S is in her lap). JAMON dangles his keys in front of his face. EVA snatches them out of the air. They are standing by a few golf carts.

EVA:

(hissing) Stop that!

You're gonna get us

Caught!

JAMON:

Relax, Princess, I've done

This before.

ALL THREE:

You have?!

JAMON:

When you're eight years old,

You have a lot of charm

With the older students.

EVA:

So the last time you did

This was seven years ago?

JAMON:

I didn't say I stopped.

(winks)

VEGAS:

So, where's the car?

There's only... You don't mean...

KYLE:

We're going to this lady's

House in a golf cart?!

JAMON:

Not so loud! And of course

Not. We're only using this

Until we can get a real car.

EVA:

And we're going to steal that

Too?

JAMON:

Nope.

VEGAS:

Then how are we going to get

A car? None of us have enough

Money to rent one...

JAMON:

I have friends in high places.

KYLE:

You don't mean...

JAMON:

(grins) Oh, yes I do.

EVA:

Who? Who are you talking

About?

BOTH:

(JAMON grinning and KYLE

grudgingly) Knox Dustin.

SCENE SIXTY THREE

EXT. DIRT ROAD - EARLY MORNING

Everyone is asleep except for JAMON, who is driving. Everything is squished. EVA'S wheelchair is between EVA and JAMON in the front seat and the backpacks are stacked on VEGAS and KYLE. EVA shifts and tightens the blanket around her. The golf cart rolls to a stop in front of a house with a long dirt driveway. JAMON gently shakes EVA.

JAMON:

(softly) Everyone up. And

Take your stuff with you.

They stir gently. As they gather their things, CUT TO: them walking down the gravel driveway.

SCENE SIXTY FOUR

EXT. HOUSE - CONTINUOUS

JAMON knocks on the door. A few tense moments later, the door opens to see KNOX DUSTIN, disheveled man in his twenties with a smoking problem. He holds a cigarette and brings it to his mouth.

KNOX:

Jamon, my man! What

Do you have for me

Today?

JAMON:

We need a car. Fast.

KNOX:

Does this have anything

To do with the Devon

Murder?

VEGAS flinches.

KNOX:

So it is. Are you going

To get in trouble with

The cops?

JAMON:

No. I know my way around.

KNOX:

Good. The car is out

Back.

JAMON walks away, revealing KYLE, who was hiding behind him.

KNOX:

Is that Kyle? Hey, bro,

How's it been.

KNOX takes KYLE away from the girls. Both KYLE and the girls are uncomfortable. EVA and VEGAS are standing on the porch.

VEGAS:

Well, this'll be interesting.

EVA:

No kidding.

A few moments later, JAMON comes back with car keys in his hand.

JAMON:

Where's Kyle?

VEGAS:

He went with Knox, why?

JAMON curses under his breath.

VEGAS:

Jamon, why?

JAMON:

I'll be right back.

VEGAS and EVA share a fearful look. A moment later, KYLE is walking behind JAMON, who is dragging KNOX by the shirt sleeve.

JAMON:

I told you a million

Times, we are not buying-

KNOX:

I dunno, Kyle was looking

Pretty into it...

KYLE:

Was not!

JAMON:

If you don't mind, we'll

Be leaving now. (BEAT)

And if I find any of

Your- your- crap in the

Car, I'm turning you in!

KNOX:

Okay, 'lil bro. Chill.

JAMON:

We're leaving. Come on,

Guys.

The four of them get into the car.
