Mischief Night Page #4

Easy.

Is he gone?

I think so.

Is Lauren here?

Well, she was,

like, an hour ago.

- Her car is still out front.

- What?

Damn it! They got my phone

and my keys.

Yeah, they cut

the landline too.

What about your cell?

Come on. Damn it, it's dead!

All right, listen to me.

Listen to me, Emily.

I need to go out there

and see if your aunt's okay.

I want you to stay here

and lock the door behind me.

- No!

- I'll be right back.

No, this is a bad idea.

Let me come with you.

Honey, it'll be much faster if I run

out there and come right back, okay?

Please?

Promise me you'll come back.

I promise.

Lock up behind me now.

Lauren!

Dad, what's going on?

Lauren!

Lauren!

Dad!

Emily, it's me.

What happened?

Lauren's car.

What about it?

- Somebody drove off in it.

- Oh, my God!

- No, no, no, he's gone, honey. He's gone.

- But where's Lauren?

- I... I don't know.

- Well, what are we going to do?

Look, we gotta get some help.

We... We could run to the Garson's,

they're probably home.

Well, maybe, but I don't want to take

you out there until I know it's safe.

Well, I don't

want to stay here!

Oh, God!

Dad!

What do you want?

You want money, is that it?

Stay here.

No! No! No! No! No!

Run, Emily, run!

No, no!

Dad!

Oh, my God!

Oh, no!

Oh, Jimmy! Oh, Jimmy!

Oh, my God!

Jimmy!

Oh! Oh!

Lauren?

Oh.

No, I'll tell you

what the problem is.

The problem is, you got

a guy in the White House

who thinks the Constitution...

Holy crap!

Who cares?

Who cares? Fourth Amendment?

Trample all over it. Easy.

- Please, you have to help me! Please!

- What are you doing?

No, there's somebody... There's...

Somebody's trying to kill us!

Where? Wait, let's get

you out of here!

- Come on!

- No, no, wait. Wait. No, no, no, no!

My... My daddy's still inside!

Please, you have to help me!

That's... That's okay.

I have a radio in the truck.

We'll call the police.

Just get inside.

Holy crap!

Hello?

Hello?

Hello? Hello? Is anyone there?

Hello, is anybody there?

Please, please!

I need help! Please, hear me!

Please, please, please,

is anybody there?

Uh, hey, could you...

Could you repeat your message?

I... I need help!

There's somebody...

He... He broke into my house

and he's trying to kill us!

Is this for real?

Who am I talking to?

Yes! My... My name

is Emily Walton.

And I'm calling from a truck outside of my house.

Somebody's trying to kill us.

Please, please, we need help.

Girl, if you're messing around on Mischief Night,

it's not funny.

No, I'm not. I swear.

I swear. Just, please.

Please, sir, please.

I need your help.

What do you want me to do?

Just call the police.

Call the police

and tell them...

What's going on?

Please,

just call the police and...

And tell them

to come to 516 Dunn Lane.

You're breaking up,

can you repeat that?

516 Dunn Lane, please hurry!

Honey, it's me. It's me.

It's okay. It's me.

He... He's right behind me!

We have to get back in the house!

Who? I don't see anyone.

He was...

He was right behind me.

There was this

truck driver that

stopped for me,

but they... They killed him!

How many?

I don't know.

I think just one.

And there's a truck up there?

Yeah, maybe we can get away.

Well, yeah, but...

If the keys are still in it.

But listen, we got to...

We got to go back

to the house.

Listen, I'm out of bullets.

And I don't want to go up there,

in case anyone's up there,

without bullets, all right?

So we've got to go back to the house, all right?

I'm going to hide you

in the garage,

and I'll only be a minute,

and then we'll go

get that truck, okay?

I'd rather come with you.

No, I think it's safer

if you stay here.

I'll be quick. But I need you

to stay right here, all right?

I love you, Daddy.

And I love you

too, honey.

Ow!

Oh!

Come on in,

you son of a b*tch.

Em...

Help me.

Sometimes things happen

that are simply out of our control.

Sometimes it isn't

anybody's fault.

You were in the backseat.

Your mother was driving.

What could you

possibly have done to help?

What could anyone

have done to help?

No!

Em...

You were

in the backseat.

Your mother was driving.

She was texting.

What was that?

She was texting.

She wasn't watching the road.

And she slammed

right into that truck.

And she...

She... She shouldn't have...

She should've been watching.

I love you.

I'm sorry.

Why?

Why are you doing this?

Say something.

It's Mischief Night.

Dad!

Shh, shh, shh.

It's me, it's me.

You've got to find

that gun, Emily.

It's right by the front door.

You've got to find it.

I got him, Daddy.

Oh!

Oh, I love you.

Oh, I love you.

I love you.

I love you.
