CUT TO: ABANDONED SCHOOL
EXT. SCHOOL - NIGHT
MODUS SITS AT A TABLE WITH SOME OTHER GUYS PLAYING CARDS. HE LOOKS AT HIS PHONE AND THEN LOOKS AT ONE OF THE PEOPLE PLAYING CARDS.
[Modus]
Hey, what's your name?
[Man#1]
Kirston.
[Modus]
Alright, Kryston, go check on Mrs. Springer for me.
[Kirston]
Yeah, alright.
KIRSTON PUTS DOWN HIS CARDS, GOES TO THE THE ROOM WHERE MRS. SPRINGER IS SUPPOSED TO BE AND WHEN HE GETS THERE HE FINDS THAT SHE'S NOT IN THE ROOM.
[Kirston]
What the hell?
KIRSTON NOTICES THAT THERE ARE SOME LIGHT FLASHING OUTSIDE AND GOES TO THE WINDOW. KIRSTON SEES THAT THE COPS ARE OUTSIDE AND RUNS BACK TO THE TABLE.
[Modus]
What?
[Kirston]
Mrs. Springer is gone and there are cops outside!
MODUS TAKES A MOMENT TO PROCESS EVERYTHING AND FLIPS THE TABLE OVER.
[Modus]
Damn it! Alright, no one gets caught by the pigs alright? If you die, you die where I can see it or instantly. We're getting the hell outta here.
CUT TO: OUTSIDE OF THE SCHOOL
EXT. ABANDONED SCHOOL - NIGHT
EVAN ELDER TAKES A MEGAPHONE FROM ANOTHER OFFICER AND SPEAKS INTO IT AT THE BUILDING.
[Evan Elder]
Modus, I know that you're in there! You need to come out and come quietly. You're wanted for the abduction of Mrs. Springer and a whole host of other crimes. If you make this easy it will be easy but if not, well, I warned you.
SILENCE FILLS THE AIR FOR A FEW SECONDS AND EVAN GIVES THE SIGNAL FOR COPS TO START MAKING THEIR WAY TOWARDS THE SCHOOL. WHEN THEY ARE ABOUT 10 FEET AWAY, ONE OF THE 4TH OUTLAWS KICKS OPEN THE DOOR AND BEGINS SHOOTING. THE COPS IMMEDIATELY RETURN FIRE AND THE 4TH OUTLAWS IS RIDDLED WITH BULLETS BEFORE SHOOTING A COUPLE OF OFFICERS. THE REST OF THE 4TH OUTLAWS RUN OUT OF THE SCHOOL RETURNING FIRE AND MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE SUV. MODUS WHO HAS SOME GRENADES THROWS THEM AT THE COP CARS.
[Evan Elder]
Take cover!
AS THE GRENADES GO OFF EVAN ELDER AND THE COPS THAT ARE NEAR THE GRENADE DO WHAT THEY CAN TO ESCAPE THE BLAST RADIUS. THE COPS WHO AREN'T KEEP SHOOTING AND TAKE OUT A COUPLE MORE OF THE 4TH OUTLAWS. MODUS AND THE FOURTH OUTLAWS STILL STANDING GET INTO AN SUV AND DRIVE OFF. THE COPS THAT HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR CARS GET INTO THEM AND PURSUE THEM. EVAN ELDER STARTS TO GET INTO HIS CAR WHEN HE SEES A COP ON THE GROUND GASPING FOR AIR.
[Cop#1]
(Weakly)
H- help....
EVAN ELDER RUNS OVER TO HIS SIDE AND KNEELS DOWN BESIDE HIM. EVAN ELDER BEGINS DOING FIRST-AID AND THE COP GRABS ONTO ELDER'S BULLETPROOF VEST.
[Evan Elder]
You stay with me alright? Everything is going to be fine. You're going to make it through this okay.
THE COP STARTS TO SAY SOMETHING BUT HACKS UP BLOOD THAT GETS ONTO ELDER'S FACE.
[Cop#1]
...If— if it's my time... I want to see my wife before I go!
