EXT. KENT FARM – DAY
Pete and Chloe walk out of the barn as a brand new Sheriff's police cruiser pull up and parks in the Kent's driveway. They are both surprised when Sheriff Adams steps out of the cruiser.
CHLOE
Sheriff Adams?
The Sheriff takes off her sunglasses and hat. Her hair is almost completely silver and her face is puffier that usual, almost swollen.
SHERIFF ADAMS
Hello, children. I'm looking for Mr. Kent. Is he home?
Her tone of voice is eerily calm.
CHLOE
Mr. Kent? No, he's missing... and so are you for that matter.
PETE
Yeah, the whole county's been looking for you.
SHERIFF ADAMS
Well, I'd say that some congratulations are in order for you two, then. It looks like you found me.
She laughs slowly, with a stutter.
CHLOE
Where were you? What happened?
The Sheriff all but ignores Chloe's query and reaches into her pocket.
SHERIFF ADAMS
Listen, children, when Mr. Kent comes back home, I wonder if you could give him something for me.
She pulls a clear crystal, in the shape of a diamond but more transparent, out of her pocket. It's about an inch around. She shows no signs of the shoulder injury she suffered during the crash as she hands the crystal over to Pete.
PETE
What is it?
SHERIFF ADAMS
It belongs to him.
She turns around and gets back into her cruiser. Chloe chases after her.
CHLOE
Wait, Sheriff!
The Sheriff looks up at Chloe from inside the cruiser.
CHLOE
Do you have any leads on what happened to my father?
Pete steps up next to Chloe.
PETE
... and Lana?
SHERIFF ADAMS
Not as of yet, but you rest assured, children... We'll find 'em. We'll find every last one of them.
The Sheriff drives off, leaving Pete and Chloe confused. Pete looks at the crystal in his hand, scrutinizing it carefully.
