Horizon - Morning
Scott is met by Peter and Sophie. He walks up to them.
Peter: Hey Scott, how are you?
Scott: Fine.
Peter: I was hoping I could talk to your father.
Scott: (looking at the ground) He's on a business trip.
Peter: (Glancing at Sophie) Uh, ok. (A police car pulls up.) How about you go with Sophie and I'll talk to you later.
(Scott follows Sophie without saying a word. One of the three policemen gets out of the car and walks up to Peter.)
Peter: This him? (Looking through the window of the car.)
Policeman: Yeh, good luck. (Peter smiles) I'm not joking; this little shit has tried to escape about 4 times in the last 2 hours, even when I handcuffed him. Almost got himself killed.
Peter: Ok, thanks for the warning.
(He opens the car door. The boy sticks out his handcuffed hands.)
Peter: You want them unlocked?
Boy: Yes. (Peter nods to the policeman to take them off. He does. The boy gets out of the car, looks around and smiles at Peter.)
Boy: Nice place.
Peter: Uh, thanks. I'm Peter and I run this place, so if you'll come with me.
(The boy closes the car door as Peter turns his back to walk up the steps of the main building. He turns back around and the boy is gone.)
Peter: What? (To the Policeman who is back in the car) Where'd he go?
Policeman: (Pointing at the running boy) There!
(They both run after the boy into the bush. Peter grabs the boy's arm and swings the boy around to get him to face him. The boy spits in his face and runs off. Peter continues after him, wiping the spit off. He tackles the boy onto the ground.)
Boy: Get the fuck off me you wanker!
(Peter halls the boy to his feet and pulls him back to Horizon.)
Peter: I don't think so Cole.

Outside
Tara looks around the corner of the building to see David approaching; she takes up her position on the bench. Her arms wrapped around her knees and she starts crying.
David walks past and doesn't notice Tara, she starts crying loudly and David turns around and sits down next to her.
David: What's wrong?
Tara: (between sobs) Everything! (*Put your arm around me you idiot!*)
David: You want me to get Peter?
Tara: (she starts to cry more) No!
David: Uh, ok. What's wrong then?
Tara: Everything! (*I should've thought this out more, at least got a story together.*) It's just too hard, everyone hates me.
David: (Trying to make a joke) What's wrong with that? Everyone hates me. (He puts his arm around her and she smiles to herself.)
Tara: Thanks (*Closer, come on!*)
David: (looking down at her) You ok now? (She nods, smiling at him. To her dismay he gets up.) Good, cos I gotta go see Peter, I'm supposed to be a buddy or something. I'm surprised he's gonna trust me on it; I'll just have to prove him wrong hey. I thought I might start off with throwing the newbie off a cliff, see ya. (He jogs off)
(Tara hits the table with her fist. *Bastard!*)
