Wind is starting to blow around them and the trees are
waving lightly. Thunder growls in the distance.
SHANNON (CONT'D)
I don’t belong to anyone and noone

She swallows one and sticks the other to her fingertip.
She advances and he stumbles to the ground. She presses it
into his mouth and skips off. Thunder rumbles again. She
gets up and runs back to the cabin as raindrops begin to
fall on Paul’s stunned face.
STREET - NIGHT - EXT
A red Astra slides into a space on a tree lined street.
There are railings around the trees and litter has been
pushed through the gaps. Crash and Lee throw open their
doors and stumble out. Felix, sober, get out and central
locks the car. He grabs her arm and the three of them make
their way up the steep driveway to a door with a pewter
wolf knocker. Felix reaches for his keys and opens up.
HOUSE - CONTINUOUS - INT
The three of them stagger through their front door and into
a front room decorated with burst paintball splats in lots
of bright colours. there is a tatty leather armchair which
Lee instantly curls upon. Felix heads to the kitchen and
the tap starts running. An over-spilling toybox shows a
sprung jack in the box painted on the side and a picture
book sits atop an open newspaper - LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD.
CRASH

LEE
That’s what you get for trusting
Paul’s cooking.
CRASH
Maybe it was the salad that did
it. I’ve never trusted rabbit
food.
LEE
Or the hash brownies? No, that
was me.
Felix returns and hands her a glass of water.
FELIX
Here, drink this. I hope you’ve
got the partying bug out of your
system.
LEE
Oh, Jesus. I smell a lecture.
