[The camera fades in from black, to show Bray face down on the ground, the pair of feet he’d previously fallen over underneath him, Bray groans as he pushes himself up]
Bray: What the hell? What?
(Bray struggles to comprehend what’s going on as he grabs a hold of the foot he tripped over)
Voice: Hey… watch it!
Bray: You’re not dead…
(The person speaking pulls the blanket from over his head and groans)
Razor: Elementary… my dear Bray…
Bray: Huh?
Razor: I’m not dead…
(Bray nods as he grabs his head)
Razor: Bad night?
Bray: You could say that… why are you out here?
Razor: I was sleeping till some idiot decided to fall on top of me…
Bray (sheepishly): Yeah sorry about that…
(Razor rolls his eyes as he looks at Bray and then shakes his head)
Bray: Heading back to the school?
Razor: It ain’t like I got anywhere else to go…
Bray: I take it that’s a yes…
Razor: Yeah…
[Bray and Razor head back to the school as the camera follows them before cutting to the next scene.]
Scene 2
[Camera cuts from black to show two figures from the back, they can be seen to be Lex and Ryan. Lex carries a small figure over his back, and Ryan has a female figure. The two of them walk into the school, heading straight for the café as Lex yells out]
Lex: Everyone, come quick…
(Trudy, Tai-san, Eric, Gel and Darryl come running as Lex yells up)
Trudy: What is it? What’s going on?
Darryl: Are we being attacked?
(Both Lex and Ryan deposit the people they are carrying on the floor, Ryan takes off his coat and places it under her head)
Ryan: We found them…
(Ryan brushes the hair away from May’s head as we can see her face)
Gel: Oh god, are they okay?
(Lex looks up from where he has been covering Kaden’s body)
Lex: No… Kaden’s dead!
Eric: Oh god…
Trudy: And May?
Ryan: She’s fine… unconscious but fine…
Eric: We have to get her to a bed!
Tai-san (nods): Eric’s right… we have to see what we can do for May… (she quietens her voice) …it’s too late for Kaden…
(Trudy drops to her knees as she moves to Kaden’s small body and cradles his head in her arms)
Trudy (sobs): He was so small… so small…
[Lex looks up at Trudy and puts a hand on her shoulder as he wipes away a stray tear. The camera then moves to May, as Darryl, Ryan and Eric move her to her room; all of them look worried as they put her on the bed before the camera fades to the next scene.]
Scene 3
[Camera fades in to show Eric, Ryan, Tai-san, Darryl and Alice standing outside May’s room, hushed voices, the camera shows the back view of them, before panning through them to show May laying on the bed, a bandage around her head as she lay lifeless]
OV: What’s going on?
(All of them turn around and see that Salene is standing there)
Alice: Salene?
Salene: What?
(The Mallrats step aside so that Salene could see May, the camera cuts around to show May’s face)
Salene (shocked): May?
(Salene rushes to May’s bedside and collapses to her knees. She shakes her girlfriend in an attempt to revive her, before Alice places a hand on Salene’s shoulder)
Alice: She’s unconscious Salene…
Salene: What’s wrong with her?
Alice: We don’t know… but she’s breathing and she’s stable…
(Salene glances up at Alice, tears in her eyes as she looks back at May)
Salene: I’m not leaving her…
Tai-san: Sal… she needs rest…
Salene (yells): I don’t care… I’m not leaving her…
(Alice and Tai-san glance at each other)
Alice: Okay Salene… we’ll leave you two alone…
[Salene says nothing as she stares at May, the rest of the Mallrats leave as the camera cuts to black.]
Scene 4
[Bray is walking down the hallway of the school carrying Bray Jr. He kisses the boy on the cheek his thoughts immediately returning to Kaden]
Bray: Now where’s Mummy?
[Junior just gurgles with happiness. Amber walks in from the common room]
Amber: (reproachful) Here
Bray: (short) Take him
Amber: (short) Fine. (takes Jr into her arms) Come on sweetie, lets go and find something to eat.
[Amber and Bray don’t even make eye contact with each other as Amber walks off holding Jr in her arms.]
[Bray sighs and heads towards Maya’s room]
Bray: (knocks on Maya’s door) Maya?
[no answer is heard from inside the room, Bray decides to enter.]
Bray: Maya?
[Maya has her face down on her pillow]
Bray: Maya I know you can hear me, and what I have to say requires your attention.
[Maya sits up and looks at Bray still not speaking.]
Bray: Maya, there is no easy way to tell you. I can’t think of anything worse to tell you.
[Tears start to form in Maya’s eyes.]
Bray: Maya, Kaden’s dead.
Maya: (hysterical) WHAT?
Bray: Maya, please. I know it’s hard.
Maya: KADEN’S DEAD!
[Maya jumps up from her bead and grabs a few items from her desk and hurls them across the room.]
Maya: HE CAN’T BE DEAD!
Bray: Maya calm down.
Maya: LIKE HELL I’LL CALM DOWN!
[Cass appears in the door way just as a candle goes flying past the door. Cass has to duck in order to miss being hit.]
Cass: Oh my god!
Bray: Cass get Ryan and Lex
Cass: Maya honey, please listen to us.
Maya: (looks at Bray for a second and throws herself at him) IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT!
Bray: (trying to fend off Maya’s punches) STOP IT MAYA!
[Cass immediately leaves the room screaming for Ryan, Eric and Lex]
[Maya continues to punch at Bray, as he tries to grab her wrists to stop her.]
Maya: ALL… YOUR… FAULT!
[Eric and Lex enter the room. Bray has managed to grab Maya by the wrists and hold her. Maya continues to thrash around]
Bray: Hold her down
[Lex hurls himself at Maya’s legs while Eric attempts to grab Maya around the waist.]
[Ryan enters the Room]
Bray: Ryan grab some rope!
Ryan: (quickly accesses the situation) Got it (leaves the room)
[all three of the boys force Maya into a chair]
[Ryan reenters followed by Ram]
Lex: Quick! Tie her down.
[They all work quickly to restrain Maya. Finally they have her pinned in her chair]
Eric: Some one should watch her constantly.
Ryan: I’ll watch her first.
[Camera fades as the boys look at Maya who continues to work ferociously at the ropes.]
Scene 5
[Amber and Bray Jr are in the cafeteria. Amber is slowly feeding a banana to Jr who smiles with each triumphant bite. Trudy joins her at the cafeteria table.]
Trudy: How are you this morning?
Amber: just great! Junior here has really got an appetite.
Trudy: Oh I can see that.
[Trudy looks downcast and quite disturbed]
Amber: Trudy, what’s wrong?
Trudy: You haven’t heard have you?
Amber: heard what?
Trudy: It’s Kaden
Amber: They found him?
[Trudy nods]
Amber: That’s great! Where is he?
Trudy: Amber, Kaden’s dead.
[Amber looks stunned and remains silent for a few minutes.]
Amber: Trudy, do you mind watching Junior for a while? There’s something I’ve got to do
Trudy: Sure.
[Amber runs from the rooms and into her and Bray’s bedroom]
[Upon reaching the room Amber starts to hyperventilate and beings to frantically look around the room as though searching for something.]
[Then in a huge explosion of emotion, Amber falls to the ground in a hysterical state of tears.]
[She is finally able to grieve, not just for Kaden, but also the loss of her unborn child.]
Scene 6
[Bray and Ryan are in Maya’s room sitting on her bed. Maya is still tied to her chair but is asleep.]
Ryan: I’m glad she’s finally asleep
Bray: She’s exhausted.
Ryan: you mean physically?
Bray: Physically and emotionally.
[Bray hops up from the bed from and places a pillow between Maya and the wall where she was leaning her head.]
Bray: You want me to take over the watch?
Ryan: (shaking his head) nah it’s alright now that she’s quiet. You go on and fill everyone in on what’s happened.
[Bray clasps a hand on Ryan’s shoulder]
Bray: Thanks Ryan. I missed not having you around
Ryan: Same here.
[Bray leaves the room and heads towards the common room to find Bray Junior and explain to everyone what has happened to Kaden.]
[Ruby appears from the cafeteria and stops Bray.]
Ruby: Bray, have you seen Slade?
Bray: (runs his hand awkwardly trough his hair) the last time I saw him was when we… uh… had a drink together in the bar.
Ruby: Oh no! Bray how could you let this happen?
Bray: I didn’t! He followed me to the bar. I didn’t sit there and force drinks down his throat!
Ruby: Some leader you are!
Bray: I’m not a saint Ruby! I have to vent sometimes!
Ruby: You’re supposed to set an example.
Bray: Ruby, I don’t have time for this. Go and find Slade if you want. I have other things on my mind.
Ruby: Don’t you care?
Bray: Of coarse I care! But Slade is able to fend and think for himself. If he wants to be found, you will find him.
[Ruby turns and walks away from Bray.]
[Bray looks defeated and continues to walk down the hall as the camera fades to black.]
Scene 7
[Camera cuts in to show the Mallrats sitting in the café, there are raised voices as they chat amongst themselves.]
Bray (stands up): Can we have some quiet please?
(Voices remain raised before Amber whistles and there is silence)
Lex (smirks): You only had to ask if you wanted us to be quiet…
(There are laughs from the Mallrats)
Bray: Yes thanks… Mr Comedian…
Lex: My pleasure…
(Bray ignores Lex’s comment and carries on)
Bray: The reason we’re here is to sort of update everyone on what’s been going on… everyone’s been so busy lately that we haven’t had a chance to have a meeting so I’m aware that maybe not everyone is aware of what’s going on… so you may or may not know, but May is currently unconscious… and that Kaden was found dead…
(Bray looks at the floor as there are whispers)
Bray: But there’s also been a lot else going on…
Ellie: …my wedding…
Bray: Yes…
Patsy: Cloe and Lottie coming back…
Bray: Yes, but…
Cloe: Oh and Patsy and KC…
(Bray sighs as he looks around for some help)
Tai-san (stands up): This is not a time for comedy… things are serious right now… there are bad signs around, bad things are coming this way…
KC: Way to be cryptic Tai-san…
(Lex smacks KC around the head)
KC: Ow…
Lex: Show some respect…
Tai-san: I am not kidding everyone… watch my words, bad things will happen…
(Everyone looks around at each other whispering)
Lex (whispers to Tai-san): Way to go… nice way to scare everyone…
[Tai-san glares at Lex, before the camera cuts to black.]
Scene 8
[Amber is lying on the floor of her and Bray’s bedroom. Her hair is completely disheveled and flowing free on the floor with piles of tissues around her. She looks physically drained from crying.]
[Bray enters the room, returning to grab his jacket when he sees Amber lying on the floor in her state.]
[Amber makes no movement when she sees Bray doesn’t move either.]
[Amber slowly puts a small smile on her face]
Amber: (quietly) Hi
Bray: (quietly) Hi
[Bray and Amber still continue to stare at each other.]
Bray: Do you want me to help you up?
Amber: Yeah that would be good.
[Bray slowly helps Amber up and sits with her on the bed.]
[There is an awkward tension in the air.]
Bray: Are you feeling ok.
Amber: (starts to nod her head but then it dissolves into a shake of the head.) No not really. (Amber starts to cry) I didn’t think I could cry anymore.
Bray: What’s brought this on?
Amber: (not looking at Bray) When I found out about Kaden, I just started to think of…
Bray: The baby
Amber: (nods her head) I didn’t have time to really think about it before. I lost our child. A child that we will never get to know.
Bray: (quietly) It’s not your fault
Amber: I should have told you! I should have! But I wanted to wait until after three months because then it would have been over the dangerous miscarriage period.
Bray: But you where four months pregnant.
Amber: (desperately) I got scared. I can’t tell you how much I regret it. I was scared about the complications with Junior and I was right to be. I don’t think I can have anymore children.
Bray: Yes you can. There is always time to have more.
Amber: And I want more Bray! I want you to understand that! I wanted this baby more than anything.
Bray: I also want another child. We discussed that ages ago.
Amber: I know. I still don’t completely understand myself why I didn’t tell you.
Bray: (sighing) I’m trying too.
[Bray pulls Amber into a strong hug.]
Bray: No more secrets ok?
Amber: (nods furiously) I love you so much. I don’t want to ever hurt you again. You mean so much to me!
Bray: I love you too. I know you won’t hurt me again. I won’t hurt you either.
[Bray lifts Ambers chin with his hand. He bends down and kisses her passionately. Amber returns the kiss furiously.]
[Bray wraps his arms around Amber, afraid to let her go.]
Amber: (Amber looks up at him with still within Bray’s arms) I was going to name him Martin.
Bray: (tears begin to well up in his eyes) Martin…
[Amber nods]
[Bray pulls her even closer to him, touched by the kind gesture.]
Bray: What about if it was a girl?
Amber: Solaris
[Bray nods]
Bray: (understandingly) For your sister.
Amber: Two people that have disappeared from our lives.
Bray: But we found each other
Amber: And we’ll always have each other
Bray: and Junior
Amber: and many more to come!
[Bray and Amber laugh at each other.]
[Bray lies down on the bed and pulls Amber towards him.]
[They lie together with Amber resting her head on Bray’s chest, listening to his heartbeat.]
[Bray strokes Amber’s hair away from her face.]
[The scene fades with the two complete in each others company]
Scene 9
[Camera fades in from previous scene to show Lottie sitting on the edge of Sammy’s bed, camera pans out to show Sammy walking over to here and passing her a glass of water before he takes a seat next to her. Sammy watches as Lottie takes a sip from the glass, he takes a gulp as water drops trickle down the side of her lips. Lottie reaches over and places the glass on the bedside table]
Sammy: Feeling better?
Lottie: (Shrugs) I think it’s going to take more then a glass of water to make days like this better.
Sammy: (Places a hand on her knee) I know it doesn’t make things better, but it doesn’t look like he suffered much
Lottie: You’re right, it doesn’t! I just wish I was there with him.
Sammy: (Scratches the back of his neck uneasy) I don’t…I don’t wanna be in Salene’s shoe’s sitting by your bed waiting to see if you wake up!
Lottie: OH Sammy!
(Lottie throws herself into Sammy’s arms and rests her head against his chest)
Lottie: (Whispers) Hold me!
Sammy: I’ll never let go
[Lottie looks up and her eyes met Sammy’s, she closes the gap between them before gently pressing her lips against his for the first time. Lottie pulls away and gives Sammy a small smile before he pulls her back into his arms and gently runs his fingers through her hair]
Scene 10
[Lex and Ryan are walking down the street, heading towards the location of the Freedom Fighters.]
Ryan: I don’t think they’ll listen to us
Lex: Come on mate! They love us.
Ryan: This isn’t about your charm
Lex: I didn’t say it was, but thank you for the encouragement.
Ryan: Whatever
[They continue along the road until they reach a steel door. Lex knocks on the door and steps back.]
[A guard appears after a few minutes.]
Guard: What do you want?
Lex: We need to speak to Dreamer
Guard: Regarding what?
[Dreamer appears at the doorway]
Dreamer: Yes, regarding what?
[Lex clears his throat and continues to talk.]
Lex: We need to discuss an important problem
Dreamer: We helped you try and find that kid when he was missing, what more do you want? (Turns to leave)
Ryan: We found Kaden
[Dreamer stops in her tracks]
Ryan: He was killed
[Dreamer turns around and stares at them.]
Lex: It was no accident.
Dreamer: He was murdered?
Ryan: Yes
[Dreamer exhales.]
Lex: There is only one Tribe that would do that.
Dreamer: (angry) Oh so now that it happened to one of you, you want to do something about it?
Ryan: It’s time it stopped.
Lex: For good.
Dreamer: And what do you propose we do?
Lex: We need a meeting between all the tribes.
Ryan: We can’t have the Kruls ruining our lives.
Dreamer: You can say that again. (sighing) Alright. I’m only doing this for my tribe.
Ryan: Great
Dreamer: Maybe finally we can stop these monsters.
Lex: Here’s hoping.
[Scene fades with Dreamer and Lex shaking hands over their latest agreement.]
Scene 11
[Camera slowly pans around Darryl’s bedroom; we find Darryl curled up on his bed. Camera zooms in to show him with a pencil in one hand and his pad of paper resting on the bed. Scattered over the bed are screwed up pieces of paper along with colouring pencils, rubber and a sharpener. The sound of someone coughing causes the camera to zoom back out, to show Axel standing over the bed and watches as Darryl draws. Axel reaches out and places a hand on Darryl’s shoulder and giving it a light squeeze, causing Darryl to look up, he gives Axel a half hearted smile. Axel returns the smile before he sits on the edge of the bed]
Axel: (Grins) Working on a new picture of me?
Darryl: (Rolls his eyes) You wish!
(Darryl turns back to his picture, Axel sits in silence for a couple of seconds before he tries to look over Darryl’s shoulder)
Axel: Come on, let me see…
(Darryl moves his arm which allows Axel to see the picture)
Axel: Oh wow…that’s amazing!
Darryl: (blushes) Thanks
(Axel scoots further up the bed so that he is behind Darryl, he then rests his head on Darryl’s shoulder while one of his arms wrap around Darryl’s stomach)
Darryl: (Whispers) I was thinking of giving it to Maya…you know so she has a picture of him smiling. What do you think?
Axel: (Smiles) I think you are the sweetest guy I have ever met! She will love it!
[Axel props himself up on his other elbow, before he leans over and places a small kiss on Darryl’s cheek. The camera steams over as Darryl lies on his back and Axel climbs on top of him]
Scene 12
[Camera fades into the next scene to show Jack with his back pressed against the wall and his head tilted slightly to one side. The door to his left and Alice’s head pops round the side, she gives him a small smile, which he returns]
Alice: I guess it was you who knocked on my door?
Jack: (Grins) Well I’m the only one around so I guess so!
Alice: (Rolls her eyes) Smart ass
(Alice opens the door wider to allow Jack to walk past, before closing it behind her. Camera cuts to inside of the room, Jack is making his way across the room kicking clothes to the side before he drops down onto Alice bed letting out a huff)
Alice: Just cause you’re my brother-in-law doesn’t mean I’m here to listen to all your problems
Jack: (looks up) it’s about your sister
Alice: Why am I not surprised?
(Alice picks up a cup of coffee on the side before she sits herself on the floor next to the bed)
Jack: (runs a hand through his now longer hair) I just don’t understand why she is being so hard about Kaden going missing and now we know what happens she seems to act like it never happened?
(Alice closes her eyes and takes a deep breath)
Alice: It’s her way off coping, Kaden coming missing and turning up dead it brings too many memories back to her…and me…
Jack: (confused) Alice?
Alice: It was long before the virus…god Ellie must have been about eleven when it happened.
Flash back
[Camera pans around the old farm house, we see a younger Alice leaving the house and working her way down the stairs]
Alice over voice: I can remember like it was only yesterday! Every summer the three of us went to stay with our grandparents at the farm house
[A harsh scream echo’s through the farm]
Younger Alice: (looks up) Ellie?
[Alice looks in the direction where the scream came from before she breaks into a run, the camera follows her as she runs down a dirt track path, now and then missing her footing. As she turns the corner she finds Ellie, covered in blood running towards her with a small boy in her arms]
Alice OV: It was our younger brother Mike, he was only seven…
[The younger Alice snatches the boy from Ellie]
Younger Alice: (Shouting) What did you do
[Before Ellie has a chance to answer, Alice turns on his heels and runs back towards the farm house. Camera stays on Ellie who is sobbing]
Alice OV: Mike died that night in hospital, even though I was angry at Ellie I knew It wasn’t her fault but it didn’t stop her blaming herself and after all these years she still does.
[The scene cuts to show Mike lying in a hospital bed and Ellie sitting by his side, with one of his hands in hers…Ellie kisses his hand before she breaks into tears. The scene fades back to Alice and Jack. Alice has tears running down her cheeks, while Jack is trying not to cry]
End flashback
Jack: I had no idea…
Alice: (Wipes her eyes) Go talk to her…
[Jack nods before he gets up, he gives Alice a small hug before leaving. Camera fades to black]
Scene 13
[The Freedom fighters and Mallrats are all gathered together in the common room of the school. The tribes are clearly divided with the Freedom fighters sitting on one side of the room with the Mallrats on the other.]
[Bray stands to start talking, not before being interrupted by Dreamer.]
Bray: Alright everyone, I want to start by…
Dreamer: (spoken as an order) Hurry up please!
Bray: Well I would if I wasn’t interrupted
Dreamer: (angry) Hey back off mate
Lex: (matching anger) I’m sure he’s not your mate
Dreamer: (angry) You brought us here to fight?
[Amber stands up and shouts]
Amber: (shouting) Would everyone please sit down and SHUT UP!
[There is a momentary pause as both tribes continue to stare each other down.]
Amber: (looking at Dreamer) We did not bring you here to fight. (Addressing everyone) We brought you here because of the Kruls.
Bray: (puts a hand on Amber’s shoulder) We have received some disturbing information about the Krul that Ryan and Lex have found.
Lex: (stands to address everyone) We found one of our tribe members, brutally beaten. Not in the same way you would normally beat someone. She was beaten almost beyond recognition. It was a clear message. We were getting too close to the Krul tribe. We have threatened them in some way so much so that they’ve also killed one of our tribe members.
Dreamer: So? They’ve killed many of our tribe.
Bray: We know that. But we don’t want to see anyone else get hurt. We can’t just stand by and wait for them to totally destroy us.
Patsy: They wouldn’t really destroy us would they?
Dreamer: (standing) Yes he would. Conrad would stop at nothing to bring about total control and power. I know him too well to think otherwise.
Amber: There is only one course of action we can take
Dreamer: War
Bray: So then you agree?
Dreamer: It’s the only way.
Lex: Then it’s decided
Dreamer: We go to war
Bray: Against the Kruls
[The two kids shake hands and both tribes start cheering with excitement and enthusiasm at the thought of ending a powerful enemy. Scene fades]
Scene 14
[Camera fades in from previous scene. Bray, Lex, Cloe and Gel are sat around one of the smaller tables in the canteen. Gel takes a sip of water before she speaks]
Gel: Let me get this right, you want me of all people, to go and talk to the Modes…the tribe which kicked me out of my own home?
Lex: (Smirks) That’s about it yea?
(Bray swats Lex before he turns all this attention to Gel)
Bray: I know its not the best situation but we need every tribe we can get to help us overthrow the Kruls, and you know the modes better then any of us, if anyone can get them to help its you!
Gel: (Smiles) Gee thanks Bray!
(Bray nods before he turns to Cloe)
Cloe: (rolls her eyes) I’ll do my bit but it doesn’t mean they will help us!
Lex: I don’t see why they wouldn’t, we made a pack didn’t we?
Cloe: (shakes her head) That was before I walked out on them…but I will do my best to get Crow and others to help!
Bray: (Smile) Thank you!
[ Camera zooms out on the small meeting before fading to black]
Scene 15
[Camera pans around an old “Bed and Breakfast” house. A member of the Modes tribe is standing behind the reception desk, camera pans around to show Gel and Axel sitting into two arm chairs taking in their new surroundings. Axel grins and leans towards Gel]
Axel: (whispers) I couldn’t think of a better place for them
(Gel tried to hold back a laugh as she places a finger on her lips, and looks in the direction of the Mode boy, camera follows Gel’s gaze and we see that the young boy is staring at the two Mallrats. A door opens to the right of them and Phoenix steps out into the foyer)
Phoenix: Sapphire will see you now
(The two mallrats jump up and once again Axel leans over to Gel)
Axel: I guess the princess is ready to see us now
Gel: (Smirks) Axel!
(Phoenix leads the two mallrats throw a long corridor and every now and then he looks back at Gel)
Phoenix: SO Gel, how have you been keeping?
Gel: So, so…much better since I’ve become a Mallrat
Phoenix: (smiles) You haven’t changed…your still as pretty as you was back when we were dating!
(Gel blushes causing Axel to roll his eyes. They are lead to an open door, Luna is leaning against the wall blowing bubble gum, her eyes narrow when she sees Phoenix and Gel smiling at each other)
Sapphire (from inside her room) This better be good cause I’ve just cancelled my face massage!
(Sapphire appears from inside the room and leans on Luna)
Gel: (Grins) Oh it is…The mallrats and Freedom fighters have declared war on the Krul tribe and want your support
Sapphire: (Shocked) Shut up!
[Camera pans around to show the shocked faces of the Modes before cutting to black]
Scene 16
[Bray, Patsy and Cloe are all starting off down the main street heading for the Naturals camp.]
Patsy: Are you sure you’re ready to do this Cloe?
Cloe: No
Bray: We could talk to him for you?
Cloe: He won’t take it seriously unless it comes from me
Patsy: We’ll be there the whole time.
Cloe: I know, it’s just that I don’t want to face him.
Patsy: I still can’t believe what he did to you.
Bray: (concerned) What did he do to you?
Cloe: It was nothing major Bray…
Patsy: (cutting Cloe off mid sentence) Only that he pressured her to decided whether or not he and Cloe where in a relationship together just days after Ved died.
Cloe: PATSY!
Patsy: well it’s true. And if he did that to me I would have punched him.
Bray: That is a pretty unfair situation he put you in.
Cloe: I know, but what can I do about it. Now that we need them, all I can do is push my feelings aside.
Bray: Ok thinking about it objectively, what are you going to do about it if he approaches you again?
Patsy: PUNCH HIM!
Cloe: (laughing) no, I’ll just avoid it I guess. There is nothing more I can do.
Bray: Hopefully they’ll just agree
Cloe: Hopefully
[Scene fades with the trio continuing down the street.]

(May groans softly as she glances over at Sal, wetting her lips as she attempts to speak)
May: Sal… where am I?
(Salene bursts into tears as she pounces on May and hugs her tightly… May tries to wiggle away as she mumbles)
May: It hurts…
Salene: Oh god… I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to…
May: What happened?
Salene: You… you were hit on the head… do you remember?
(May shakes her head and gulps down air)
May: I was… searching for Kaden… how long?
Salene: You’ve been unconscious for a couple of days… Lex and Ryan found you and Kaden…
May (smiles): He’s okay then?
Salene: Who?
May: Kaden?
(Salene looks at the ground and then back at up at May tears in her eyes as she shakes her head)
May (tears well up): He’s dead isn’t he?
Salene (nods): I’m sorry…
May: God no…
(May breaks down in tears as she grasps Salene for comfort, the sound of tears can be heard as the camera cuts to black, the tears can still be heard until the camera cuts back in and shows May wiping away her tears)
May: I’m so sorry…
Salene: For what? Crying?
May (shakes her head): No… for leaving you… I love you Sal, so very much and I need you to know that more now than ever… can you ever forgive me?

(camera pans around the room to show Ryan step in with a can of soda in one of his hands, the camera follows him as he walks across the from with a smile on his face.
