The Watcher - Part 3
by Sean Dunne
Dad, it’s me.
I’m in the coffee shop…
At the train station.
It’s crowded here. And safe.
Good. That’s good.
I locked that thing in the basement.
I need to find a cop…
And tell him what’s going on.
No, don’t do that.
Why not?
I’ll be there soon. Trust me.
The more you say that…
The less I trust you.
Please don’t be like that.
What am I supposed to do?
Sit here watching CNN till you arrive?
Yes. Stay in the cafe.
I promise to explain everything as soon as I’m with you.
You better.
And why isn’t mom answering me?
I have no idea.
I told you she wouldn’t see me.
You could have told me you were going there.
I should have. Yes.
Whoa… hang on.
Are you okay?
Yeah but…
Our apartment building in the city…
It’s on the news.
What?
Something happened.
Chloe, I need you to go outside.
Wait for me on the platform.
You said to stay inside.
I was wrong.
Jesus.
What did you do, Dad?!
What do you mean?
Oh God.
How could you??
How could I what?
You killed Mom.
What? Killed who?
They’re saying Mom’s dead.
Who’s saying?
Wolf Blitzer. CNN.
God, pls don’t let it be true.
I’m sure it’s a mistake, Chloe.
But it’s not, is it?
You snuck out of here to see her…
And now she’s dead.
That can’t be a coincidence.
Calm down.
I didn’t do anything.
I promise.
You lie.
The Watcher said so.
The what?
Don’t play stupid.
You know what it is.
You’ve met it before.
You knew it was at the house.
I know you know what it is.
Its words are poison, Chloe.
I told you not to talk to it.
Did you kill your first wife, too?
Is that why it took my sister?
To protect her from you?
Or did you kill her too?
I loved her. Like I love you.
You said you loved Mom.
Look what happened to her.
This is insane.
I’m ten minutes from you.
Sit tight. And talk to no one.
I won’t be here.
Where are you going?!
Home.
To find the Watcher.
And my sister.
Chloe don’t?!
You can’t trust it!
I can’t trust YOU!
He didn't take your sister to protect her from me.
He took her to punish me.
Why was either necessary?
It wasn’t.
I already told you this thing lies.
Funny. It said the same about you.
Chloe, I'm almost there.
Too late. I'm already gone.
