AMY:

Emma, just know that I really appreciate you

EMMA:

I'm the one that's supposed to say that

The two chuckled

AMY:

(smile)

I guess you're right

EMMA:

Amy…

AMY:

Yeah

EMMA:

Can I call you mom

AMY:

(smile)

Sure. After all, my kids are kinda like their father.

Go closer then hug.

EMMA (V.O.)

I promise that I won't make anyone hurt you…

(evil glare)

…even if I have to kill.

After a heartwarming moment with Amy, Emma checks if the kids were sleeping. After making sure everyone was down, she grabbed two tiny camera then went to Carl's room, who was still working.

Emma knocked on the door.

EMMA:

Mr. Carl, can you come out here, I need to talk to you.

Carl angrily opens the door.

CARL:

(shouts)

What?

EMMA:

This morning I accidentally rolled my lucky marble under your door. Can I check for it, please?

CARL:

(heavy sigh)

Whatever, just make it quick.

Emma search around the room and place the two cameras she took up from earlier in places that show Carl.

EMMA:

Found it!

CARL:

Great, now get out of here.

EMMA:

But, why do you want me to leave, when you can have some fun.

CARL:

(yells)

Get out, now!

EMMA:

Alright, but I want to ask you a question

Carl stared at her in disgust.

EMMA (CONT'D)

Would you rather die or go to jail for a really, really long time?

CARL:

(sighs)

I would rather die because it's less painful than spending time in jail.

EMMA:

Alright then, so jail it is. Thank you, very much, Mr. Carl.

Emma walked up to Carl and grabbed him. She places his hand on her underneath, then carries him down on herself. She then call out Amy.

EMMA:

Amy, Amy help, Amy!

Amy woke up and ran to the noise. There she saw Carl on Emma.

AMY:

(shocked)

Oh my God!

Amy quickly pushes Carl off then grabs Emma.

EMMA:

(deep breathing)

(sobbing)

Thank you, thank you

AMY:

What is wrong with you, Carl? Doing such things with a child. Are you crazy?

CARL:

Amy!

AMY:

No

Carl started walking closer. Amy started dressing back with Emma in her hands crying.

CARL:

Amy

AMY:

No

CARL:

Amy just listen to me

AMY:

(yells)

Carl, get away from me

CARL:

Amy, I can explain

AMY:

Explain what, Carl?

I saw all I needed to see.

Amy turn to leave. Carl started walking faster towards her

CARL:

Amy, it was just a little bit of a misunderstanding. I didn't do anything.

Amy turned around.

CARL (CONT'D)

She…was the one.. that forced herself on me.. I'm innocent, I swear. I promise…I didn't touch she was the one that grabbed me and throw me down on her.

AMY:

Yet she's in my arms crying uncontrollably.

(yells)

And after what I saw you expect me to believe you.

CARL:

Yes, because what I'm saying is the truth

AMY:

I heard enough

Amy turn to leave, Carl started walking even faster. Amy turned back around.

AMY:

I swear Carl, if you touch me I'll make sure you spent double the time in jail… for what you did.

Amy quickly walked out with Emma leaving Carl their shocked, he fell to his knees crying

CARL:

No, no!

Amy sat Emma down then gave some her water.

AMY:

Here, drink this. Now you sit here and I'll call the cops.

Amy quickly called the police before Carl could come down. Moments later, they arrived and officer Ken was there too.

I/E. VILLA- NIGHT

The police arrived, Amy went to explain everything that happened while Emma stayed in. The first person Amy saw was Ken. Ken rushed up to her.

KEN:

Is everything alright? Where's Emma?

AMY:

(breath heavily)

(sigh deeply)

Carl…

(tears up)

KEN:

Amy, what happened?

(holds Amy at her arm)

Amy, Amy, Amy talk to me.

AMY:

(sobbing)

(looks down)

You might not believe this but Carl…Carl…Carl tried…he tried to…

Amy's body started shivering.

KEN:

Amy, Amy, Amy tell me what's going on? What's with Carl and where's Emma?

AMY:

(wipes tears)

(shivering/scared voice)

Carl…Carl tried…he tried to ra…Carl, he tried to rape…Emma.

Amy looks up at the shocked Ken.

AMY:

I'm sorry. We told you that you could trust us with Emma, and this happened. I'm so sorry.

Ken dropped his hands and dressed back. Amy dropped on the ground uncontrollably crying. After a second of shock Ken rushed into the kitchen for Emma.

KEN:

Emma! Emma!

EMMA:

I'm right here, officer Ken.

Ken turned around to see Emma in a GREY BLANKET with A YELLOW CUP IN HER HANDS FILL WITH WATER. Ken ran and hugged Emma.

KEN:

I'm sorry, I should've just kept you in my own hands.

EMMA:

It's ok, officer Ken, I was fine. I got Amy, she protected me.

Ken let go off Emma.

KEN:

Come on, let's get you out of here, there's a lot of things to Do.

Ken walked out with Emma while the cops outside arrested Carl and took away the other kids.

INT. POLICE STATION- MORNING

An investigator was asking John, Rosemary and Amy questions about the incident.

MR. WILLIAMS (the investigator)

Did you see anything?

JOHN:

No, I was asleep, so was my sister, we shared the same room.

MR. WILLIAMS

So, you didn't hear anything?

ROSEMARY:

No

MR. WILLIAMS

No

ROSEMARY:

(nods head, no)

No, nothing. I was dead asleep.

MR. WILLIAMS

So, what really happened?

AMY:

Well…(deep sigh)

Emma came to my room that night. She always does before she goes to her room. She always said goodnight to everyone.

MR. WILLIAMS

Ok, go on

AMY:

But, after she left my room, Emma must have went to my husband, Carl's room. We mostly slept together, but he had work and needed silence, plus we got into a fight earlier. (tears up)

MR. WILLIAMS

Umm

AMY:

So… I don't know what really happen, you have to ask Emma. Carl must have seen that as a opportunity to touch Emma and moments later I heard Emma calling for me, and then I called the police after getting Emma away from him.

MR. WILLIAMS

Ok, that will be enough, thanks for your time.

Amy got up and left.

KEN:

Amy

AMY:

(shocked)

Ken, what are you doing here?

KEN:

I work here

AMY:

Oh…yeah…of course…yeah…sure…I knew that

KEN:

Look, I know you're going through a lot, but just hang on

AMY:

How long will Carl be in prison for

KEN:

It took a long time, since no hard damage was done for about twenty years.

AMY:

(yells)

Twenty years?

KEN:

Yeah, I'm going through a shock too since Carl was my best friend. I just can't believe that he would do that. He's not that type of person, no matter how angry he is, I know that he would never do something like that.

AMY:

Yeah, I know right, it's just so…out

KEN:

…of the ordinary

AMY:

Exactly

KEN:

Are you going to get him a lawyer?

AMY:

Why bother, all the proof is already set…he has no chance of survival

KEN:

You make a point. The trail starts tomorrow. You know how long it will take.

AMY:

(shivering voice)

Not very long, the evidence and…and the clams…no way Carl can get out.

KEN:

(sigh)

Well…at least you get to keep Emma

AMY:

(excited)

Really?

KEN:

Yea

AMY:

(sigh of release)

Oh thank God. I was so worried if I was going to keep her or not.

KEN:

Well, worrying is over, just please keep her safe this time.

AMY:

I will, I promise

TWO WEEK LATER:

EXT.THE MILLERS HOME- MORNING

After everything that happened with Carl, Amy and the kids moved into their home before they went to the villa.

EMMA (V.O.)

It's been two weeks since the trail. It ended in three days. All the evidence was there, so Carl was sentenced to twenty years in prison. Now, Amy, John, Rosemary and I live in their house before they moved into the villa. But, now mommy have been paying less attention to me and to her kids. I can't let this go on any longer. We have a babysitter, she'll be perfect to put the blame on.
