Jared
H, you there???
Jared
Jared
What’s the update on Sarah? Is there one??
Helena
Helena
None of the bodies in the woods were hers. Mainly older men and women.
Helena
Helena
My Dad’s on his way over to Corrinne’s right now...
Helena
Helena
to talk to her parents about filing the missing person’s report.
Jared
Jared
So she’s still out there somewhere!?
Helena
Helena
Well, yeah, but she might not be alive.
Helena
Helena
If some sick fuck was screwed up enough to kill all those people in the woods...
Helena
Helena
then there are probably bodies elsewhere
Helena
Helena
And God knows where she could be.
Jared
Jared
I might actually have a couple of leads.
Helena
Helena
Please don’t tell me it’s from your psychic friend
Jared
Jared
She’s fucking accurate most of the time Helena
Helena
Helena
Operative phrase “Most of the time.”
Helena
Helena
IE throwing the police department off the scent of a missing child for four months...
Helena
Helena
because the kid would find his way back to his father
Jared
Jared
Yeah, they found that kid dead, but you know what?
Jared
Jared
That kid’s father died a year ago.
Helena
Helena
So what are you saying? That he found his way to him in heaven?
Helena
Helena
Give me a break.
Jared
Jared
Well whatever you believe, she said something about a barn...about Saint Rhiannon...
Jared
Jared
and something about Wayne. I NEVER mentioned Wayne.
Helena
Helena
Is Saint Rhiannon the patron saint of bullshit?
Jared
Jared
Helena, it’s all I got, and we need to find her
Helena
Helena
I’m sorry, I didn’t think you had that close of a relationship with her.
Helena
Helena
Why do you care so much?
Jared
Jared
Something else I didn’t mention.
Jared
Jared
She was on her way to give this guy some money
Helena
Helena
Wait…what guy?? Money for what!? What are you talking about!?
Jared
Jared
Please don’t tell your Cop Dad, but we’ve both been dealing...
Jared
Jared
and she was taking our supplier’s cut to him.
Helena
Helena
ARE YOU SERIOUS!? DEALING WHAT!?
Jared
Jared
Weed…some harder stuff…
Helena
Helena
YOU IDIOT! HE PROBABLY HAS HER! WHY DIDN’T YOU SAY ANYTHING???
Jared
Jared
Because he doesn’t have her...
Jared
Jared
and I know this because he’s been threatening my life to find her.
Jared
Jared
Thinks that we’re trying to smuggle away the cash or that we didn’t have it
Helena
Helena
Would she have done that!?
Jared
Jared
No. But right now, I’m about to be shanked if we don’t come up with that money
Helena
Helena
How much money was it??
Jared
Jared
A lot.
Helena
Helena
Did you fucking get her into this??
Jared
Jared
Yes…
Helena
Helena
Unbelievable.
Jared
Jared
Oh fuck…
Helena
Helena
What??
Jared
Jared
He’s at my door.
Helena
Helena
Who??
Jared
Jared
Luke. The guy we owe money to
Helena
Helena
What are you going to do??
Jared
Jared
I don’t know, my fucking Mom is home
Helena
Helena
Well, don’t you think you should answer it before she does??
Jared
Jared
It’s too late.
Helena
Helena
What if something happens to your Mom??
Jared
Jared
They’re calmly talking
Helena
Helena
Call the cops
Jared
Jared
And say what!?
Jared
Jared
My drug supplier who helps me peddle illegal drugs to other high school students is coming to kill me??
Helena
Helena
I don’t know, maybe!
Jared
Jared
SHIT! My Mom invited him in!!
Jared
Jared
WHY DOES SHE ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SO NICE!!!????
Jared
Jared
I bet she gave him my goddamn Mallomars too.
Helena
Helena
Is he threatening her??
Jared
Jared
No, she’s offering him cookies, and just called up to me
Helena
Helena
You’re in your room??
Jared
Jared
Yes. I’m going to slip out my window.
Helena
Helena
And go where???
Jared
Jared
Shit, I’m going to have to get on my bike.
Jared
Jared
The car will be too conspicuous. Can I come to your house??
Helena
Helena
MY HOUSE!?
Jared
Jared
Yeah! There’s nothing safer than the house that belongs to a cop, no??
Jared
Jared
Then maybe we can try to figure out this Saint Rhiannon stuff together and crack where Sarah is
Helena
Helena
Ugh. Fine.
Jared
Jared
I’m slipping out the back now.
Helena
Helena
Be quick, because the town curfew starts in a half hour, and you’ll end up arrested anyway
Jared
Jared
Okay, I’m on my way
Helena
Helena
I just heard something weird on my father’s scanner
Jared
Jared
What
Helena
Helena
They’re not saying the curfew is for a murderer
Jared
Jared
Then what the fuck is with all the bodies? Suicide cult??
Helena
Helena
No. They keep talking about this threat that’s coming up from the South...
Helena
Helena
that they’ve been trying to keep it contained...
Helena
Helena
but they don’t know how much longer they can...
Helena
Helena
because “too many of them” have gotten in.
Jared
Jared
What does that even mean!?
Helena
Helena
I don’t know, but I think you should get off the streets as fast as you can.
Jared
Jared
I’m still coming to you. I’ll just pedal fast.
Helena
Helena
Oh my God! Somebody just broke through the back door
Jared
Jared
What!?
Helena
Helena
I just called the cops. I’m in the bathroom upstairs. Door locked.
Jared
Jared
Where’s your Mom??
Helena
Helena
She’s visiting my Aunt in Maine. I’m alone
Jared
Jared
Who is it??
Helena
Helena
I don’t know, but they’re knocking all kinds of shit over downstairs and groaning.
Helena
Helena
It sounds like a couple of them
Jared
Jared
WTF. I’m on my way. I know Aikido. I can kick a bitch’s ass without hurting them
Helena
Helena
I can hear them coming up the stairs. It’s like they’re drunk or something
Jared
Jared
Just stay quiet
Helena
Helena
I’m trying. I’m scared. What if they try to kill me???
Jared
Jared
Just stay quiet. The cops are coming
Helena
Helena
FUCK. I knocked over the soap dish on the sink. They heard!! They’re coming!!!
Jared
Jared
Is there a window you can climb out of??
Helena
Helena
It’s too small
Jared
Jared
Don’t worry
Helena
Helena
They’re banging on the door
Jared
Jared
Are they trying to smash it in??
Helena
Helena
They’re just throwing their body weight against it
Jared
Jared
Just stay still
Helena
Helena
I can hear the sirens
Jared
Jared
Good!!
Helena
Helena
They stopped! The sirens must have scared them!
Helena
Helena
They’re walking back down the hallway!
Jared
Jared
Okay, just breathe
Helena
Helena
They aren’t running though, what if they’re just scheming??
Helena
Helena
The cops just kicked in the front door
Helena
Helena
What if there’s a shoot out.
Helena hears gunfire
Helena
Helena
They’re dead. I think they just shot them.
Helena
Helena
I can hear the police walking around. One’s coming upstairs. I’m afraid to move
Jared
Jared
Okay, as soon as I get there, you can hop on my handle bars...
Jared
Jared
and we can go for a milkshake at the diner, and pretend this didn’t happen
Helena
Helena
We’re not going to be able to go out
Jared
Jared
But they caught them no??
Helena
Helena
Oh my God, Jared…you won’t believe what I’m looking at…
Jared
Jared
What?
Jared
Jared
Helena?? What do you see??
Jared
Jared
HELENA????
Helena
Helena
The threat from the south...
Helena
Helena
We’re coming to find you right now.
