Scene 2 -A New Beginning

Sometime in 2003

(Kate is standing over a crib.)

KATE
How was your nap my little precious gem?

(Suddenly the door to her apartment slams shut.)

KATE
Adam?

(There is no reply.)

KATE
Adam?

ADAM
Yeah, Kate.

KATE
Oh! You scared me there for a second when you weren't answering me. I thought someone broke into the house.

ADAM
Well now you know it's safe. It's only me. So how has he been doing?

KATE
Pretty Good! I actually got him to get a nice nap. This was after he actually ate a decent meal.

ADAM
Wow! That's great!

KATE
Yep! So how was work today?

ADAM
Lots of fun like usual.

(Kate giggles.)

KATE
Real Funny!

ADAM
How was mommy's day?

(Adam approaches Kate.)

KATE
Pretty Good!

(Adam kisses Kate, and holds her. Something starts to beep and Kate pushes herself away from him.)

KATE
Got to go take out the roast or else it will burn.

(Kisses Adam, and walks into the kitchen.)

Scene 3 - A New Friend

(Kate is shopping around in the baby store. Looking for something interesting to buy. A woman suddenly knocks a whole shelf down. Kate runs to assist her. She helps her put the things back in place. She smiles at Kate.)

WOMAN
Hi, Thanks for your help.

KATE
No problem. It happens.

WOMAN
Hi my name is Cathy.

KATE
Hi Cathy! I'm Kate.

CATHY
Expecting your first precious one?

KATE
Nope. I already got one, and I'm expecting another one in around eight months.

CATHY
Oh! Congratulations.

KATE
When are you due?

CATHY
Anytime.

KATE
Oh! That is so great! Is it your first?

CATHY
Yeah. Do you want to do lunch or something?

KATE
That would actually be great.

Scene 4 - Lunch

CATHY
Kate?

KATE
Yes Cathy.


CATHY
I have something important to tell you.

KATE
But you don't even know me!

CATHY
I actually do in a way.

KATE
What kind of a way?

CATHY
I can't tell you right here but if you would like to come to my office building I'd be able to tell you.

KATE
I don't know.

CATHY
It's very important. It could mean life or death.

KATE
Life or death?

(They get up and leave the restaurant. They walk into the parking lot. In the background Adam is standing there, staring at them.)

Scene 5 - Life or Death

CATHY
My actual name is Detective Mandy Lewis. I recently came across a case that was in the back of the files, not really finalized.

KATE
The valentine murders?

CATHY
Yes. Are you comfortable about talking on this topic?

KATE
If it is a matter of life or death than I think I'd like to hear it.

CATHY
Well I found the file, and read it. I wasn't satisfied with your descriptions, and your friends motive. I researched a little to make sure you got it all right. What I found in the mask was a few hair follicles. I checked the DNA, and they didn't match Dorothy's, they matched your husband's. He apparently is Jeremy Melton. He killed everyone. I suggest you leave town, get out of here.

KATE
I don't know what to say. Are you sure?

CATHY
Tell me you are going to leave tomorrow morning, and go to someplace safe where he can't find you.

KATE
I can't do that! I have a life and a family here. What will I do with my son?

CATHY
Here is my home address and number. Send me some kind of message telling me where you are. Trust me you need to leave, as I said it is a matter of life and death!
