TOM WRITES HIS FIRST MOVIE: The aftermath of all that stuff that happened.

Still writing my first movie script. It's a thriller.

You can check it out HERE.



INT - LIVING ROOM

Bryce is in Abby's home. He's walking from the kitchen to the living room carrying a steaming cup of tea. Inside the living room Abigail is sitting with the police. The lead officer is that same one who interrogated Conrad earlier. Bryce hands Abigail the tea.


COP
We have him on criminal trespassing, but these waters are bit murky given your former living situation.

ABIGAIL
No they're not, I told him I didn't ever want to see him again.

COP
You still have his things.

ABIGAIL
What?

COP
Why do you still have his things?

ABIGAIL
I don't want them.

COP
You see why a jury might be sympathetic to someone breaking into a house to get his own things back.

ABIGAIL
HE ATTACKED ME!!

COP
We weren't able to prove that. We weren't able to lay a single charge in that case, in a court of law that means it didn't happen.

BRYCE
And what about this other thing that he's saying? That he saw someone?

COP
You mean this mysterious figure that he conveniently can't give a description of because it was too dark? I wouldn't lose sleep over that. Frankly it's not the first time we heard that one from someone. 

BRYCE
So where is he?

COP
Right now he's behind bars until he sees a judge but unless we have something that can keep him there then he's probably going to get away with a fine and some probation. Are you sure you didn't notice anything last night as you were leaving?

BRYCE
I didn't see anything.

COP
Miss...maybe it would be better if you stayed with someone for a while. 

BRYCE
I am staying with her.

ABIGAIL
When are you letting my father go?

COP
 Actually Douglas refuses to press charges against your father. He'll be out later today.

The room falls quiet.

 COP
Well, we'll be leaving. This time we'd like you to file an official restraining order against Douglas, and if I were you I'd think about finding someplace else to live. He's...

ABIGAIL
No.

COP
Keep an eye on her.

BRYCE
I will.

COP
We'll be in touch.

Cont'd...
