Was there something bad in there?
Is Daddy better?
Her face falls slightly and the toy falls from her hand and
clatters to the floor.
MOM
Lee, don’t be angry. I promise
I’ll make you both understand
soon. For you and your children.
CRASH
She’s just sad.

P.O.V. - MOM
Rain patters against the window at the end of the corridor.
The sky is dark and lightning splits the sky. The window

CRASH
Daddy loved us, didn’t he?
Lee slides from her chair and crawls underneath, pulling
the hood of her coat over her face.
CRASH (CONT'D)
So why did he die?
MOM
The wolves. They were coming for
him.
LEE
They can’t see me. I’m not here.
CRASH
And that’s stupid Lee. We can
see you.
MOM
Let’s go home. You two shouldn’t
be here.
She reaches both arms out and waits. Lee doesn’t move but
Crash slides down and joins her. Mom drops her arms.
CRASH
You can’t hide. Look, I found
you.
LEE
We can practise.
She slides her hood down and throws her arms around her
brother. They both scramble out and watch as a white
coated figure dashes out of one door and through another.

The swing seat is rocking slightly beneath the twins.
Suddenly aware of the absolute silence, Crash snaps round
and scans for Shay. Lee uncurls and stretches.
CRASH
And now it’s our turn.
