A Deadly Adoption Page #6

my medicine.

And we're gonna get some

for you real soon.

But you need to eat

some candy first.

It's gonna help you

feel so much better.

Dwayne, the candy.

All right,

just a few bites.

And then maybe you can try and

sleep while I go rent us a boat.

Dwayne will be here

the whole time.

My daddy won't let me

go on boats.

Well, just because your

dad is scared of the water

doesn't mean your dad and

I can't go for boat rides.

And when you're older,

maybe I'll even

let you drive.

But right now I need you

to rest, okay, sweetie?

Hey! Hey!

What now, Dwayne?

Hold up.

Come here. Come here.

What was that all about

back there, huh?

- What? Boat rides?

- What?

We're not keeping

the kid.

Obviously. I was just trying

to make her feel good.

You're a paranoid

son of a b*tch.

Hey, don't walk away from

me when I'm talking to you!

Come here!

You better not be

messing around with me.

I'm in this for the money and nothing else.

Yeah, I'm gonna get you

your money and my money.

You stay here with the girl

and you try and stay out

of sight this time, okay?

Okay.

Sorry, I'm closing.

Please.

I'll only be an hour.

Okay. Paddle board

or canoe? What kind?

I saw that you guys

had outboards out there.

Oh, you know

how to run 'em?

How much is it?

50. Going fishing?

Here's 50.

Hello, Sarah.

Bridgette, What have you

done with Sully?

- Please!

- She's okay.

She's okay.

My God,

you're not pregnant.

No, I never was.

Don't worry about Sully.

She's fine. She's safe.

Bridgette, please, please

tell me where she is.

You're never gonna

see her again.

I'm her new mom now.

Robert and I are going

to take her away.

Robert's with you?

Mm-hmm.

He'll be here soon.

Do you know how crazy

this sounds?

Don't call me crazy.

Bridgette, wait!

Please.

Shut up!

You are pathetic.

The second I met you,

I knew I didn't like you.

Your stupid fruit stand

and your organic

vegetables.

Bridgette, please!

My name's Joni,

by the way.

You need to know

something, Sarah.

Robert doesn't love you.

He told me so.

He blames you

for the accident.

And he loves me.

But why take Sully? What does

she have to do with any of this?

That night...

That night when he was

making love to me,

I got pregnant

with his child.

I carried him around for

three months, and I lost him.

And then right when I was

feeling like a dirty little slut,

I turn on the TV

and I see your face

and his face

and his daughter's face,

and I didn't like that

very much.

I hate you for

stealing him away from me.

Bridgette, please.

You're sick, okay?

Let me help you.

Give me the gun.

I already told you

my name's Joni.

This is perfect.

Sarah is so upset

about losing her baby,

people are gonna think

it's a suicide.

Just like Charlie.

Sarah?

Hello? Sarah?

Sarah?

Robert.

Bridgette!

No, you can call me

Joni now.

Where's Sarah?

You don't have to worry

about Sarah anymore.

It's fine.

I have Sully.

Sarah?

No, no.

Don't you get it?

You're free.

We're free to be happy.

- What did you do to her?

- I took care of her.

Where is she?

Robert, you're acting

very strange.

Don't you get it?

We have everything, okay?

We can start

our lives together.

This is what

we always wanted.

What are you

talking about?

You know what?

I'm calling the police.

You weren't happy.

You told me you weren't happy.

I don't

understand you, okay?

Don't do that!

We don't have much time to

get away. We have to get away.

Hello, yes, can I speak

to Sheriff Watson, please?

Put the phone down!

Oh!

Oh, God.

Please don't make me

shoot you again.

- Oh, you're sick.

- No, I'm not.

Okay, Joni, put

the gun down, all right?

Let's just talk about this.

You told me

you didn't love her.

Tell me where Sully is, and

we'll forget this ever happened.

I thought this is what you

wanted. I don't understand.

Just put it down,

all right?

- Aah!

- Oh!

Robert!

No! I didn't mean to!

I didn't mean to.

We gotta go.

Where is she?

Hey, you got the money?

Where is Sully?

She's in the bathroom.

She's not feeling too good.

Oh, damn it.

I forgot her medicine.

We have to clear out.

Where's your gun?

It's on the table.

Hey, you got the money?

Sully, baby girl!

Hey, what happened?

I don't feel good.

I know. I know, baby.

Listen, baby,

your daddy is dead,

but you and I

are gonna be fine.

We have to go.

You screwed up,

didn't you, huh?

You ain't got no money.

Hey, I told you what was gonna

happen if you messed with me!

Now I'm taking the girl.

Let her go!

Yeah? Or what? Huh?

We weren't getting money

out of this anyway.

It was about him

the whole time.

It was about

the husband.

Imagine a guy like that

with a crazy whore like you.

I'm warning you.

What are you

gonna do, huh?

What, are you

gonna shoot her?

Are you gonna

shoot me? Huh?

I said to let her go.

Yeah, I'll let her go,

as soon as I get

my half a million.

- Aah!

- Oh!

I want my mom!

You shot me!

Your mommy

is already dead.

I'm your new mom now.

Sarah.

Sarah.

Sarah? Sarah?

Jesus! Sarah!

Sarah.

Sarah, breathe!

Sarah, breathe!

Oh, you're okay.

Robert, Robert,

she has our baby.

I know. I know.

Charlie tried to tell me

about the cabin.

Across the lake?

- Yeah.

- Yes?

Robert, you're hurt.

It's my fault.

I blamed you

for everything.

I was wrong.

I'm so sorry.

I'm gonna go get her.

How?

Well, she won't

drive back into town.

The only other way out of Storm

Lake is across Mackinaw Bridge.

Robert, you can't.

Where are you taking me?

Somewhere safe, sweetie,

where no one can get us.

I don't wanna go with you!

You're mean!

Don't say that!

I am not mean!

I am the only nice one!

Everyone else

wants to hurt us.

Hands up!

Hands up.

Where's the girl?

The crazy b*tch

just took off

about 15 minutes ago.

Where were they headed?

I don't know.

Call for an ambulance.

She shot me and she's

probably gonna kill that kid!

Dwayne Tisdale,

you are under arrest.

She shot me!

You have the right

to remain silent.

Anything you say can

and will be used-

Daddy.

They're all the same.

Why do they

have to hurt me?

No! You're gonna hurt him!

We don't need him!

No! You're

gonna kill him!

Let go! I'm your

new mother now!

You're not my mom!

Sully!

Daddy!

Sully?

It's okay.

It's okay.

You're okay, all right?

I have your insulin

in the boat, all right?

It's all over.

Mommy's waiting for us.

You can't take her,

Robert.

Joni, please,

she's dying.

I need to give her

her medicine.

You don't think

I'm a good mother.

You think I'm nothing.

You used me, Robert.

You are never gonna

use me again.

I'm taking her from you.

- Daddy...

- It's okay.

Robert! I'm gonna

shoot you both!

Daddy?

Robert!

- Listen to me.

- I'm scared.

I'm scared, too,

but I need you to do

something, all right?

Last chance, Robert!

Okay?

I trust you, okay?

Okay.

That's a smart choice.

We could have

had everything.

We could have had

a happy life together.
