Don't own it.
This story is complete. It just has a few lose ends to tie up. Feel free to comment. I know some pieces of the story need work; I consider this a working rough draft. Please tell me if you see an obvious flaw, or misleading fact in the story, it might be something I have completely over looked. Parts of the story will be edited, but the plot line is final. Enjoy and Thanks!

Spanish Harlem
Two boys are climbing down the fire escapeMACCome on Charley, don't be a chicken.
CHARLEYI just don't think we should be doing this.
MACAre you scared? Cut the crap.
CHARLEYMom is going to find out that we snuck out. We should just go to see Dad.
Charley stops and leans against a window. Mac grabs him and shakes his shoulders.
MACShut up! Fine go back home if you're scared you pussy. But I don't want to go over to his house!
CHARLEYYou're the pussy.
MACDid you just call me a pussy?
CHARLEYYou wanna make somethin' of it Mac?
Mac goes to punch Charley (who is still leaning against the window, clinging to the building), but Charley ducks and Mac's fist goes through the window. The entire window shatters, and the curtain comes lose, falling to the floor. Now we see into someone's bedroom.CHARLEYDAMN IT MAC! That's the Brennan's apartment. Now were really gonna get it. You know she's gonna tell Mom, Christ Mac.
Mac grabs his wrist which is gushing blood. He looks in the window and starts to scream.
CHARLEYJesus Christ are you okay. Stop screaming! Mom's gonna hear. Quiet. We'll get a Band-Aid.
Mac is still screaming and points at the window he just broke.
MACMama! Mama! Mama! Mama!While screaming he keeps on pointing with his bleeding hand. Charley turns and looks too and starts screaming as well.
CHARLEYOh my god! Mom!Up above their mom, Mona, sticks her head out the window.
MONAMac? Charley? Are you out there? Why are you screaming? Boys? What's wrong?
Mona climbs out the window and starts jumping down the fire escape still in her apron. Neighbors stick their heads out too.
NEIGHBOR 1Mona! What's wrong with your boys?
NEIGHBOR 2Kids get your asses back inside!
NEIGHBOR 1Holy Jesus! The boy is bleeding!
Mona grabs the boys and looks inside the window. Her apron is instantly covered with blood from Mac's hand. Through the window you can see a bed a few feet away. The bed is covered in blood, and a pale woman (with no blood on her) is lying on the bed.
MONADios Mio! What are ya'll doing hanging your heads out your windows. CALL 911! CALL 911!
KATIE ARE YOU OKAY?
She pulls off her apron and wraps Mac's hand in it.
