Mr. Monk goes to Silent Hill

By weirdDAR

(Monk walks into the room, where Sharona is playing cards with

Benji. Monk is holding an envelope.)

Monk: (Terrified) S-Sharona?

Sharona: (She puts the cards down, and gives Monk her full attention.)

What is it, Adrian?

Monk: I got this letter.from Trudy.

Sharona: Confused. But Trudy's dead.

Monk: (Yelling, out of panic.) I KNOW! That's what's wrong.

I got a letter ...from my dead wife.

Sharona: It's just a prank, Adrian. Just throw it away.

Monk: But it's in her handwriting. The letter states our

secrets, things others wouldn't know about.

Benji: That's pretty freaky.

Monk: Yeah, you're telling me. Sharona. The letter says she is in a place called Silent Hill,

and she wants to meet.

Sharona: Alright, that's going too far. What is Silent Hill?

Monk: Trudy and I passed it on a trip once, and we stayed the night. It

was a nice little town. She loved it.

Sharona: That doesn't mean anything, you know she's dead, Adrian.

You have photos of the scene. The body...

(She stops after looking at Monk's face. It's a very depressing look.)

Monk: I know she died. But whoever wrote this is in Silent Hill, and I need to know who did this, and why.

Sharona: And what do you want me to do?

Monk: At first, silence. I want you to come with me of course.

Sharona: What, now?

Monk: Yes, now.

Sharona: It's Nine O' Clock at night. Beji doesn't have a

babysitter, and I'm not even packed.

(Monk rushes out of the room, and comes back with a suitcase.)

Monk: I knew one day, some way, some how, I'll need to go somewhere

urgent. And I some how knew you would give me that excuse, so I packed

your bags for you.

Sharona: What? When?

Monk: Well, I concluded my theory about three months ago.

So three months ago.

(Sharona opens the suitcase, and pulls out a pink sweater.)

Sharona: I've been looking for this.

Monk: Wait.let me guess, you've been looking for it for three months.

Sharona: Yeah, how'd you--Oh, yeah.

Monk: I called your sister. She's on her way. She'll watch Benji.

Sharona: I don't know, Adrian, it is Nine O' Clock at night.

Monk: Silent Hill is an hour from here. We can get a hotel on the way.

(Sharona realizes she isn't going to win, so she zips up the suitcase.

Sharona: Let me go to the bathroom first. She leaves the room.

(Monk and Benji are alone.)

Benji: So, what do you hope to find?

Monk: You know. The usual. Some answers.
