“Previously...”

INT. FACULTY LOUNGE - DAY

Mr. REINS

“There’s a large amount of money that
is being paid towards something known
as Project C-18”

KEN

“What’s C-18?”

Mr. REINS

“That’s just it. We have no idea”

INT. TERRY’S OFFICE - NIGHT

BEN

“What is it?”

SAMMY

“It’s just several ZIP discs, each with
C-18 on the labels”

Sammy holds up one of the grey ZIP discs.

INT. KEN’S APARTMENT - NIGHT

Jane hugs Sammy.

JANE

“This will be a big help”
			
									CUT TO:

INT. KEN’S APARTMENT - NIGHT

Ken sits at the table in his front room, his laptop in 
front of him. The blinds on the windows are drawn, the 
light on as he types away.

Jane enters from the kitchen, drinking water from a 
glass. She lowers the glass.

JANE

“Anything yet?”

KEN

“I’ve cracked five of the codes, all I
need to do is yet another five”

He rubs his eyes, the strain climbing all over him.

JANE

“Hopefully, you’ll crack them. I better
get going, got work tomorrow”
			
									CUT TO:

INT. EVANS RESIDENCE - NIGHT

TIM LINGROVE. He’s 6’2, has a mop-styled ginger hair, 
slightly cubby around the waistline, blue eyes and a 
clear face from any spots. Has freckles over his nose and 
looks like a mean bully type. But he’s not.

He’s 17 and in the grade above Rick and the others.

ZEV

“Hey!”

Tim and Rick stand in Rick’s kitchen.

TIM

“Hey man! Been time!”
			
									CUT TO:

INT. OFFICE - DAY

After a quickie in the office for Will & Melissa:

WILL

“What are you doing later?”

MELISSA

“Why?”

Melissa pulls on her suit jacket and slowly buttons it up 
to cover the torn blouse.

WILL

“We could get some dinner”

We’re seeing a whole new side to the big bad guy! Melissa 
grins and kisses Will.

MELISSA

“Sure, sounds romantic”
			
									CUT TO:

INT. BUILDING - DAY

Will walks along an office like corridor, empty except 
for a large bottle water tank.

Two guards turn around a corner.

One of the guards looks at Will.

GUARD

“HEY!”

Will steps up to the guard and backhands him into the 
other guard. The second guard stands up and pulls out  
gun from his belt.

He points his gun at Will. Will sidekicks the guard, 
sending him smashing through a door.
Zev comes running up the corridor.
			
									CUT TO:

WILL

“The names Will, kid”

Will does a spinning kick to Zev’s head, sending Zev 
crashing to the ground.

Zev looks up to see Will holding what looks like a scroll 
in a transparent jar.

Will jumps through a window. The glass shatters, as Will 
lands outside on the grass.
			
									CUT TO:

INT. TERRY’S OFFICE - NIGHT

WILL

“I really need to rest after fighting
with the Defender”

Terry’s face changes to anger.

TERRY

“The Defender? No one else knew,
unless one of those commandos leaked
like a burst pipe to the kid”

WILL

“I don’t think it was them. I think you
have a mole”

Terry’s eyes open wider, rage filling them...

BLACK.

FADE IN:

We come into the dark and creepy graveyard, the main 
graveyard in town. We see the half moon reflecting off of 
the marble headstones, the average headstones not getting 
such good treatment.
The night is quiet, the trees & bushes still as there is 
no wind. But slowly, we can hear voices talking, talking 
normally, not trying to be loud or quiet.

We move over past some shrubs, where we come across Zev 
and Rick, sitting on a small memorial bench situated by 
the side of some mausoleum.

We come mid-way into their conversation:

ZEV

“I dunno, what if they win?”

RICK

“They’ve gotten some scroll thing, no
big deal”

ZEV

“The way things have gone over the
last few months, I wouldn’t underestimate
anything”

RICK
(shrugging)
“I guess... But don’t worry about it. Just
cross that bridge when you get to it”

ZEV

“Wish it was that simple... Ken seems
to think it’s something really bad”

Rick shuffles his feet gently, as a snap is heard from 
ahead, by a large bush. Zev’s instincts kick in as his 
gaze shoots towards the bush.

ZEV

“You hear that?”

RICK
(slowly)
“Yeah... Time for action?”

ZEV

“Could be”

Zev slowly stands up, moving gingerly towards the large 
bush. A low grunting sound is heard, as Rick stands up 
slowly, warily watching the bush.

ANGLE ON Zev’s hand as it slowly stretches out towards 
the tip of a branch in the bush...

Suddenly and quite surprisingly for Zev, a hairy hand 
shoots out, snatching Zev’s wrist.

ZEV
(taken aback)
“AAH!”

As Zev withdraws, the arm extends out of the bush,, 
pulling out a rather fat brown, fuzzy demon, sharp 
grizzly teeth and bright red eyes. It roars loudly. We 
hear Rick yelp at the roar, as Zev manages to yank his 
wrist free from the demon’s grip.

Zev moves back further, as the demon steps out properly 
from the bush, revealing it to be around seven foot high.

ZEV
(awe)
“He’s huge...”

Rick steps up next to Zev. He nudges Zev softly. Zev, not 
taking his eyes off the demon, responds. Rick watches the 
demon intently.

ZEV
“What?”

RICK
“You want a dagger?”

ZEV
“Yeah, in my bag...”

Rick nods slowly, keeping his eyes on the demon. The 
demon watches curiously as Rick moves backwards, heading 
back for the bench. The demon frowns and takes a step 
forwards, heading towards Rick.

The demon roars loudly and moves forwards, scaring Rick. 
Rick turns and dives down by the bench, grabbing Zev’s 
rucksack. Zev steps in front of the demon.

ZEV

“HEY!”

The demon looks down at Zev and snarls. The demon pulls 
back his right arm. Zev watches, as the demon then swings 
forwards his arm, on a collision course with Zev’s head. 
Zev ducks down as the heavy arm swoops over Zev’s head.

 Zev straightens himself back up, starting off with a 
punch straight into the demon’s gut. The demon wails 
loudly, as it spins around, revealing a thick, brown 
furry tail. It slams into a shocked Zev’s side, sending 
him crashing to the ground.

Zev groans loudly, as the demon sniffs the air. It turns 
its fat ugly head towards Rick, who pulls out an average 
sized dagger from Zev’s rucksack. We see some of Zev’s 
homework, lying around on the ground where Rick has 
furiously searched for the dagger.

Rick turns, standing up and holding the dagger, a grin on 
his face... Until he sees only the demon in front of 
him...

RICK
(confused)
“Um, Zev?”

Rick looks to his left, to see Zev slowly standing up in 
a large bush. Zev brushes himself down slowly as he walks 
slowly. Rick’s frightened eyes turn back to the demon as 
the demon takes a few steps forwards, his heavy feet 
thudding on the ground.

RICK

“Not good!”

Rick dodges a swing from the demon’s left arm. Rick runs 
towards Zev, but Zev runs forwards, running by Rick. 
Rick, confused, stops and turns. the demon turns around, 
wondering where Rick has gone. The demon spots Zev, as 
Zev runs forwards, heading straight towards the demon.

Zev leaps into the air and grabs a hold of the demon’s 
furry neck. Zev hangs from the demon’s neck, as the demon 
roars loudly, trying to grab Zev. The demon’s arms are 
too fat! Unable to bend fully to grab Zev off of his wide 
chest.
ZEV

“DAGGER!”

Rick mumbles something, as he moves forwards quickly. The 
demon’s arms swing around, as the demon tries to through 
Zev off of his chest.

RICK

“ZEV!”

Zev twists his head around to see Rick standing a few 
feet away. Zev stretches out his right hand, using his 
left to keep a very firm grip on the demon’s shaggy neck. 
Rick throws up the dagger.

As the dagger flies up, the demon’s right arm clobbers 
Rick in the side of his head. Rick flies to the ground, 
slamming hard into the dirt, ruining his t-shirt.

Zev holds up the dagger with his right. The demon’s eyes 
open wide, knowing what’s coming. We get a glimpse of 
Rick, as he looks up. Zev then slams the dagger into the 
side of the brown, hairy demon’s neck.

The demon wails loudly, as Zev lets go of the demon’s 
neck hair and the dagger handle. Zev falls backwards, 
landing on his back. The demon sways above him. Zev’s 
eyes open wide as the demon slowly starts to fall down 
onto Zev.

Zev quickly rolls along the ground to the left, avoiding 
the large body. The demon slams into the ground. Rick 
slowly stands up, in a bit of pain, having received a 
large blow to the head.

Zev watches the body of the demon, as it slowly starts to 
grossly decompose into green slime. Zev slowly climbs to 
his feet, rubbing his left elbow gently.

ZEV

“That was some fight”

RICK
(groggily)
“Tell me about it”

ZEV

“We better get back, we’ve been here
for a while”

RICK

“Fine, fine, just let me get my visibility
back”

Rick closes his eyes tightly and rubs his head. Zev 
smirks as he shakes his own head. He turns and leans down 
by the large green puddle, leaving behind the dagger used 
to slay the demon.

Zev grabs the dagger and slowly raises it up to his face, 
looking at it slowly. We slowly fade out.

FADE IN:

INT. CORRIDOR - SCHOOL - DAY

We come across a fairly empty corridor for the middle of 
the day. This is because it’s lunchtime, as people move 
around, heading towards the cafeteria. We see, behind 
three girls; Zev, Rick and Sammy, moving along slowly.

SAMMY

“Sounds tough”

ZEV

“He was”

RICK

“But Zev won”

ZEV

“Didn’t feel like it this morning. My
side is black and blue after he swung
his tail at me”

SAMMY

“Have you told Ken about it?”

RICK

“Zev’s bruise?”

Sammy frowns and rolls her eyes.

SAMMY

“No, about the demon”

RICK

“Oh”

ZEV

“Nah, not yet. I’ll tell him after Math.
Right now, I just want to eat. I’m so
hungry”

SAMMY

“I wonder if Vicki will be in there...”

Rick looks towards Zev. Zev smirks, as Sammy smiles to 
herself, knowing she’s raising a touchy issue.

ZEV

“Sammy…”

SAMMY
(sweetly)
“Yes, Zev?”

ZEV

“You know she’ll be in there. I know
what you’re about to say”

All three of them turn a corner, still a bit behind the 
three girls. The three girls laugh and giggle to each 
other like airhead bimbos, as they turn again, heading 
straight into the cafeteria. Zev, Rick and Sammy approach 
the cafeteria doorway slowly.

SAMMY

“Well then. Hurry up and make your
move. Before you have to start
collecting your pension”

Sammy sighs, as she moves ahead of Zev and Rick. Sammy 
turns into the cafeteria.

We follow her around the corner and into the cafeteria. We see a ton of students, all 
sitting around large circular tables, rectangular tables 
and out through the multiple double doors at the back 
end, sitting outside at the picnic tables.

A few students queue up at the long counter, moving their 
trays along and grabbing food off the shelves. Sammy 
moves ahead of us as we pull back, waiting for Zev and 
Rick. They walk in, watching as Sammy grabs a tray and 
joins the queue.

RICK

“Maybe she woke up on the wrong side”

ZEV

“Maybe she’s just being a busy-body”

RICK
(shrugging)
“There is that as well”

They both move into the queue, grabbing trays and moving 
up behind Sammy. The three girls are in front of them, as 
Sammy rolls her eyes at what one of the girl’s laughs 
about.

Zev looks around. We pan around, as we instantly pick up 
Vicki, as she sits with some friends at one of the 
circular tables. Zev watches her slowly, knowing that he 
can’t resist watching her, resist his feelings any 
longer...

Sammy suddenly nudges him, jerking him out of his little 
trance. Zev turns, annoyed, towards Sammy.

ZEV

“What?”

SAMMY

“I asked you if you wanted a soda,
they’re doing a buy one get one free”

ZEV

“Oh, um, sure”

Zev smiles faintly. Sammy turns back to the counter, 
grabbing two bottles of soda, as Rick looks over to where 
Zev was looking a moment before.

RICK
(spotting Vicki)
“Aha, so that’s what it was”

Zev turns to Rick, slightly embarrassed. He tries to deny 
everything...

ZEV

“What was what?”

Rick nods towards Vicki, as he slowly moves forwards in 
the queue. The giggling girls move away, having paid for 
their lunches.

RICK

“Vicki Reid, what a surprise”

ZEV
(innocently)
“Oh, is she here...”

RICK

“Don’t even try it. I caught you, again.
Look, everyone, including Vicki, knows
how you feel. Just got up to her and
tell her... Or maybe take her away
from her friends first”

ZEV

“Fine, I will, but not now. I swear”

Zev nods, promising to himself that he will tell Vicki 
some time soon how he really feels. Rick rolls his eyes, 
knowing that Zev will probably bottle it.

INT. TERRY’S OFFICE – DAY

We come into the bright office of Terry, as he sits 
behind his desk. He types a few things on his PC, 
finishing up a document on information for the C-18 
projects, for the backers’ money.

He types hurriedly, finishing up the document quickly. A 
knock comes on his door. Terry, saving his document, 
looks up slowly.

TERRY

“Come in”

The door opens quickly, as Will walks into the office, 
wearing jeans and a hooded zip-up top over a white t-
shirt.

WILL

“Sorry I’m late, laundry problem”

Terry looks Will up and down slowly, frowning at the 
bright white sneakers.

TERRY

“Need a repair guy?”

WILL

“Already have one working on it now”

Will smiles as he moves over to the seat opposite Terry’s 
desk. Will snatches a quick view of the sea, out of 
Terry’s windows. Will sits down, as Terry closes his 
document.

TERRY

“Right, well. I’ve had a few thoughts
about what you suggested to me”

Will frowns, not following where Terry is taking this 
conversation.

WILL

“What do you mean?”

TERRY
(abruptly)
“About the mole”

WILL

“Ah”

TERRY

“Unless further ‘mishaps’ occur, then
I’m not going to look into it”

Will leans forwards, shocked at Terry’s decision not to 
investigate.

WILL

“Are you sure?”

Terry nods slowly, before drawing up another document on 
his computer. He sighs loudly, as Will leans back slowly.

TERRY

“Now, I have information which is
currently being processed. This
information could lead me to what
I need next”

Terry smiles wickedly, as Will raises an eyebrow.

WILL

“Anything you need me to do?”

TERRY

“I need one main thing...”

WILL
(curiously)
“What’s that?”

Terry, again, smiles wickedly as he leans forwards. Will 
also leans forwards, as we pull back, as the two confer 
into their evilness.

INT. CLASSROOM - SCHOOL - DAY

Ken sits in his classroom, as he types away on his 
laptop, still busily trying to crack the final codes on 
the C-18 discs. He slams his hand down on the desk 
furiously.

KEN

“DAMMIT!”

He sighs and leans onto his elbows, his hands covering 
his entire face. The school bell rips through the moments 
of silence, prompting Ken to raise his head. He sighs and 
slowly moves his fingers over the mouse pad on the 
laptop. He talks to the laptop

KEN
(bitterly)
“I’m not giving up... I’ll get through”
			
									CUT TO:

As Ken shuts down his laptop, students begin to pour into 
the classroom. In the midst of the crowd, we can see 
Vicki with a friend. Behind her, a couple of students, we 
see Zev and Sammy as they move into the classroom. They 
all spread out, Zev & Sammy heading towards the back.

Through the doorway, walks the last of the students, as 
Ken closes his laptop and moves it to one side of his 
desk. He stands up promptly, as everyone takes their 
seats.

We see Zev and Sammy pulling out their books. We move 
back over to Ken, as he walks around his desk. He stops 
in front of his desk. He slowly leans back, sitting on 
the edge of the desk.

KEN

“Ok, homework... Andrew?”

A guy stands up, holding his homework papers. He turns to 
the people around him. They all hand over their homework 
to Andrew’s waiting hands. Andrew slowly moves back along 
the rows of students, grabbing all the homework.

ZEV

“Luckily, I got this done after my
encounter last night”

Sammy smiles bashfully, and slightly nervously.

SAMMY

“I didn’t get mine done, Ben and I were
at the movies”

ZEV

“Ken will understand, he’s a good
teacher”

SAMMY

“At least I have Mr. Reins homework
done”

Zev raises his eyebrows, remembering that he had 
forgotten to do Mr. Reins’ homework! Sammy notices the 
look of fear and shock on Zev’s face. She quickly 
realizes what he’s done.

SAMMY

“Busted”

Andrew appears by Zev and Sammy. Zev holds up his 
homework to Andrew. Andrew takes it swiftly.

ANDREW

“Thanks”

Andrew turns to Sammy, who smiles at him sweetly.

SAMMY

“Yeah, um, you see, there was this
tiny accident this morning”

Andrew frowns, not understanding what the hell Sammy is 
going on about. Sammy licks her lips slowly, as she leans 
forwards towards Andrew, who looks down at her.

SAMMY

“No homework. Dropped it and it
blew away”

Sammy smiles politely, as Andrew rolls his eyes. He turns 
and moves past her, towards the people behind her. Zev 
smirks and turns to Sammy, as Sammy fiddles with the edge 
of her desk.

ZEV

“You are the biggest bullshitter I know”

Sammy shrugs happily, as Andrew moves back past her with 
everyone’s homework. Andrew walks up to Ken’s desk, 
laying the homework down. Ken smiles gratefully as Andrew 
turns back towards his desk.

KEN

“Thank you Andrew”

Andrew sits back down, as Ken turns towards the board. He 
grabs a marker from his desk and steps up to the large 
white board. He flicks off the pen lid, allowing it to 
freely drop to the floor.

KEN

“Ok, we’ll do some more on long
multiplication, stuff you should have
learnt long ago. but it appears that
many of you have forgotten the golden
rule...”

A few people groan loudly, as Ken starts the simple sum 
on the board. We move over to Zev and Sammy.

SAMMY

“Oh come on, anyone who can’t do
long multiplication, should be kicked
out”

Zev frowns, turning to Sammy slowly.

ZEV
(slowly)
“Sammy... You phoned me two nights
ago asking me what it meant”

SAMMY

“Yeah, that was then. This is now,
and right now, I know how to”

Sammy smiles smugly, as Ken turns, having finished 
writing the question up. He looks over the students, 
trying to pick one out to come up and solve the sum. His 
eyes fall onto Sammy, as he spots her talking to Zev.

KEN

“Miss. Hume”

Sammy slowly turns her head towards Ken. She smiles 
weakly.

SAMMY

“Yes sir?”

KEN

“Why don’t you come up here and do
the multiplication sum?”

Sammy smiles weakly.

SAMMY

“I um, sprained my ankle. I can’t come
up, it’d be too painful”

KEN
(smirking)
“For your ankle or your pride for failing
the sum?”

Wrong thing to say. Sammy looks outraged, as she stands up quickly.

SAMMY

“Consider it solved, sir!”

Sammy, as if a roaring tyrant, strides along her row, 
heading towards the front. Several people watch her go 
by, as Sammy walks towards the board. We get a glimpse of 
Zev shaking his head slowly, closing his eyes in 
embarrassment.
			
									CUT TO:

INT. CORRIDOR - SCHOOL - DAY

We come across Vicki, Sammy and Ashley Woodlake, the girl 
that briefly appeared in episode 14. Here’s a quick 
reminder or her: Dirty blond hair, just past her jaw. 
Great body, slim, green eyes, very attractive girl. 
Probably about 5’7 in height. Her face has no facial marks
(spots, pimples, scars etc).

Ashley speaks clearly and has a sort of posh American 
accent.

ASHLEY

“I can’t believe he let you off with it”

SAMMY

“He did”

VICKI

“But you didn’t even do the sum right!”

Sammy laughs, as Vicki and Ashley exchange looks. Sammy 
nods her head slowly.

SAMMY

“The only part I got wrong, was the
remainder”

VICKI

“Sammy... You don’t get remainders
in multiplication”

Vicki and Ashley laugh to themselves, as Sammy frowns. 
They continue to walk on.

SAMMY
(confused)
“No remainders...”
			
									CUT TO:

INT. CLASSROOM - SCHOOL - DAY

Zev, Rick and Sammy all sit next to each other at one of 
the workbenches in the Chemistry lab/classroom. Mr. 
Reins, looking the same as ever, stands at the front by 
the large white board, writing out the lesson’s 
objectives.

Rick turns to Zev slowly, as Sammy pulls out her 
completed homework.

RICK

“Did you do the homework?”

ZEV

“Um, no”

SAMMY

“I did”

RICK

“Guess it’s just you who didn’t then
Zev”

Rick smirks, as Zev looks nervously towards the front of 
the classroom, where it seems Mr. Reins knows Zev hasn’t 
done his homework. Mr. Reins stares at Zev harshly and 
creepily...

ZEV
(slowly)
“Yeah, I guess so”

Zev sighs, lowering his head as Mr. Reins steps towards 
the first row of desks.

Mr. REINS

“Right, homework time people. Hand
it all down to the front desks, promptly”

Mr. Reins then turns back to the white board, as the 
students obey the harsh teacher’s words. They all start 
to move their homework down the ranks, all except Zev...

SAMMY

“You are so busted”

ZEV

“You said that already”

Zev sighs, as he takes the homework from behind. He leans 
forwards and hands it to a guy in front of him.

GUY

“Thanks”

ZEV
(gutted)
“Don’t mention it”

As the homework, in it’s masses, gets towards the front 
of the class, Zev slowly slinks down in his seat, leaving 
his head and shoulders visible above the desk, trying to 
hide himself from Mr. Reins’ view.

Mr. Reins receives the homework pile. He scan reads the 
names of the homework, before shoving the papers down 
onto his desk. He looks up at the class.

Mr. REINS
(smiling)
“Well, common compounds coverage
I’m afraid. I know how simple things
like common compounds can fly right
out of your brains. So, open to Chapter
two and we’ll begin”

Everyone sighs loudly, as Mr. Reins shoots an evil look 
over the class. Zev pulls out his book and flicks the 
pages until he gets to chapter two.
			
									CUT TO:

INT. KEN’S APARTMENT – NIGHT

Ken sits at his dining table, of course typing on his 
laptop, still trying to break the codes on the discs. He 
types furiously, trying to crack the codes ASAP. We hear 
a light beeping sound, as Ken’s eyes light up.

KEN
(shocked)
“No way... I’m in”

Ken leans back, putting his hands behind his head as he 
grins happily to himself. He looks up to the ceiling, 
grinning broadly, clearly proud of himself.

KEN

“I can’t believe it, it was that simple!
After all the complicated stuff...”

Ken leans back forwards and clicks the mouse pad, 
deciding to have a nosy around the first disc. He clicks 
on a file, and we see the word document as it loads. 
Ken’s eyes open wide, as we see the title of the 
document: ‘The Real C-18’...
			
									CUT TO:

INT. WALKER RESIDENCE – NIGHT

Zev, rather boringly, sits on his bed, furiously doing 
his new load of Chemistry homework, in a bid to get it 
out of the way before the new week’s homework. We hear 
the phone ringing downstairs.

ZEV
(zombie-like)
“No calls, doing homework”

We pan down, to see a large, and I mean large, mug of 
what was filled with high caffinated coffee. Zev twitches 
slightly, the side effects of youths drinking heavy 
amounts of coffee. We hear a slight knock on the door. 
Zev looks up, as Sue walks through the doorway, holding 
the cordless.

SUE

“Call, your teacher has some important
information on some set homework
or something”

Sue smiles as she hands her caffinated son the phone. She 
looks at Zev oddly as Zev takes the phone. Sue looks down 
at the Chemistry homework, some of the names totally 
baffling her. She turns and walks back out of the room 
quickly, as Zev holds the phone up to his ear.

ZEV

“Hello?”

KEN (VO)

“Hey, it’s me”

ZEV

“Oh, hey”

Zev twitches slightly, as he sits up properly. He 
stretches out his spare arm, as he moves his feet onto 
the ground.

KEN (VO)

“I wanted to tell you that I’ve cracked
the disc codes”

Zev stands slightly, staggering a little from the 
overdose of coffee. Zev smiles slightly, as he sways 
towards his open window.

ZEV

“Oh good. What did they say?”

Zev stumbles to his window, sticking his head out into 
the cool night air. The moon half shining down.

KEN (VO)

“I can’t explain it all now, but I can tell
you that there is some really bad stuff
on there Zev. And I mean really bad”

Zev frowns slightly, as he pulls his head back through 
the window. He straightens himself up, the fresh air 
seeming to have removed some of his coffee-brained blur.

ZEV

“What stuff?”

KEN (VO)

“I know what he plans to do, how he
wants to do it and who he has working
for him. We’re gonna meet tomorrow
morning at the coffee house in the mall,
top floor”

ZEV

“Tomorrow morning? Tomorrow’s
Saturday!”

KEN (VO)

“Just be there. You might want the
others to come as well. They deserve
to know what Terry’s up to”

ZEV

“Ok, ok. I’ll call Rick and Sammy right
now, get them there”

					KEN (VO)

“Get a good nights sleep Zev... See
you tomorrow, eleven sharp”

ZEV

“Ok, night”

KEN (VO)

“Night”

We hear Ken’s end hang up. Zev lowers the phone, not 
quite sure of what he’s just heard or said himself. He 
throws the phone onto his bed, clearly annoyed at the 
fact of having to be at the mall by eleven am, on a 
Saturday.

Zev moves slowly over to his bed, where he soon flops 
down and closes his eyes. After a few moments, his 
breathing slows down, a sign that he’s now sleeping 
gently... Through the bedroom door, walks in Sue. She 
smiles at her son, having fallen asleep from the 
homework, or so she thinks.

Sue walks over to the bed and grabs the homework, pulling 
it onto the floor. She looks down at the large mug of 
coffee and frowns.

SUE

“How can you be sleeping after all
that coffee?”

Zev grunts and lifts his head slightly, turning to look 
at his mother, clearly not asleep, his breathing slowing 
down just a reaction to his relaxation.

ZEV

“I’m not asleep and probably won’t be
until.... Never”

Zev flattens his face back into his pillow as Sue smirks. 
She turns, moving back to the doorway. She flicks off the 
light gently, before drawing the door shut, as she moves 
out into the hallway.

SUE

“Good night”

ZEV
(grumbling)
“Night”

Sue shuts the door properly and we hear her light 
footsteps gently moving away.

INT. WALKER RESIDENCE - MORNING

We come into the kitchen, as Sue prepares a nice fried 
breakfast. David is busy pouring some orange juice out 
into three glasses situated on the breakfast bar, as Zev, 
fully dressed and ready to go, walks in, yawning 
slightly.

Sue turns to see Zev and smirks, as David finishes 
pouring the juice. He turns back towards the fridge.

SUE

“Well, if it isn’t Mr. Mocha”

ZEV

“Ha, ha. I feel like shit”

DAVID

“You look it too... I mean, um, you
look great Zev, wow, great deodorant”

Zev rolls his eyes as he moves over to the breakfast bar, 
promptly grabbing a stool and sitting on it. Sue turns, 
with a plate fully loaded with bacon, eggs, waffles etc. 
She sets the plate down in front of Zev, as Zev grabs his 
knife and fork.

ZEV

“Thanks”

SUE

“So, where are you off to?”

ZEV

“Mall”

David turns back, confused. He slowly moves over to Zev, 
as Sue turns back to the frying pan, now preparing 
David’s breakfast.

DAVID

“On a Saturday morning?”

ZEV

“I know, it’s a shock, even for me”

David sits on the stool next to Zev. David smirks.

DAVID

“Yeah, never knew Sammy had that
much influence over you”

Zev frowns.

ZEV

“Huh?”

DAVID

“Well, I assume she’s the one dragging
you there”

Zev shrugs, as Sue throws some bacon into the frying pan. 
David grabs his glass of juice and starts to drink.

ZEV

“She can be persuasive”

DAVID

“And really good at it, getting you
out this early”

Zev rolls his eyes, as he can now finally tuck into his 
breakfast, as David puts his glass back down. Zev’s eyes 
quickly glance up at the clock... 10:15...
			
									CUT TO:

INT. MALL - DAY

We come down in the really busy mall. A lot of shoppers 
are moving around the front area, as we see far ahead all 
the way to the escalators going up, with the food court 
between the escalators. We see a few giggling teenage 
girls moving into a large clothes shop, with a mannequin 
with sexy underwear on.

The atmosphere is high, as people chat loudly and laugh, 
carrying shopping bags, with new shoppers coming in.

Through the crowds of people, we can see Sammy and Ben, 
standing in queue at the food court’s counter, waiting 
behind an elderly couple, as the old dear counts up some 
change to pay. Bless.

SAMMY
(quietly)
“Christ, I’ll be looking like her by the
time she finishes paying”

Ben smirks, as he holds two bottles of Pepsi Max, with 
Sammy holding two packets of sandwiches. Sammy sighs 
loudly, as the old dear continues to count.

BEN
“Maybe we should just eat in the
Coffee House”

SAMMY

“No way, they charge like, double”

Ben rolls his eyes slowly, a guy who can’t stand queuing, 
much like Sammy. We move slowly to the left, to see Rick 
and Zev, moving slowly through the crowd, heading towards 
Sammy and Ben.

ZEV

“Why a Saturday”

RICK

“He’s an old guy, he loves the shops”

Zev seems to ponder something slowly, as they step down a 
few steps into the food court.

ZEV

“Do you think we should tell Tim?”

Rick, taken aback by the question, stops waking and turns 
to face Zev. Zev stops and turns to Rick, as both of them 
know that they should tell their old best friend, but at 
the same time, unsure of how Tim would take it.

RICK

“I dunno”

ZEV

“I mean, how would he take it? Not
every day you find out demonic,
monstrous creatures are real and that
there are fifteen people chosen to fight
the really evil, nasty ones”

RICK
(Slowly)
“Maybe you should show him it’s real”

ZEV

“I dunno... I guess we’ll have to think
about this properly. I remember how
you guys and even how I first reacted
to it”

RICK
(confused)
“I forgot, how was that?”

ZEV

“Badly”

RICK

“Oh”

They both turn and continue to move towards Ben and 
Sammy, as we see the old couple now moving over to a 
spare table. Sammy and Ben step up to the till, as we see 
a young, geeky worker, having problems with the till.

SAMMY

“This is unbelievable! I’ve jut waited
for ten minutes whilst some old fart
pays you in nickels! Now, if you don’t
get that till open, I’LL...!”

Ben politely nudges Sammy, stopping her threat. Sammy 
glares at the embarrassed till guy. The guy clears his 
throat slowly.

TILL GUY

“I’m really sorry Miss... Um, if you
just want that, go ahead, as a payment
for this inconvenience”

Sammy smiles happily, totally not expecting that option.

SAMMY

“Thanks so much”

Sammy turns with her sandwiches, as Ben turns and moves 
away with the two sodas. Zev and Rick walk right up to 
Sammy and Ben.

ZEV

“Hey, ooh, food”

SAMMY

“My breakfast, as I was torn out of
bed at nine”

RICK

“And? So was I”

SAMMY

“I always stay in bed until ten”

BEN
(slowly)
“It’s only an hour...”

Sammy looks at Ben, as Zev and Rick both grin gently.

SAMMY

“Ssh, not the point here”

ZEV

“Back onto the reason why we’re here”

SAMMY

“Yeah, you weren’t to clear on that
when you phoned me at one AM!”

ZEV

“Sorry, couldn’t sleep, too much coffee”

Sammy rolls her eyes, as she moves past Zev and Rick, 
heading towards one of the escalators.

BEN

“We’re going straight up?”

RICK

“Might as well”

Ben nods slowly, as the others follow Sammy towards the 
escalator. The till guy watches Sammy move away.
			
									CUT TO:

INT. COFFEE HOUSE - MALL – DAY

We come into the nice Starbucks rip-off Coffee House. A 
lot of customers sit around on chairs and stools, 
drinking coffee. Obviously. We see Jane and Ken sitting 
in a large booth, sitting opposite each other, both with 
coffees.

JANE

“How do you think they’ll take it?”

KEN

“Honestly. Hard”

JANE
(slowly)
“Oh... I guess it is hard even for me to
understand, but after last night’s
research, I know a lot more about it
know”

KEN

“Good, because we’re gonna have to
know all we can if we’re gonna stop
Nolova”

An elderly couple move by, as Jane takes a long drink 
from her mug of coffee. Ken fiddles with his napkin, 
clearly wanting to tell Zev the news. Jane gently puts 
her mug down, as Ken watches the door intently. He wraps 
his hands around his mug. Jane notices his tension.

JANE

“They’ll be here”

KEN

“It’s not that, I just hope Nolova hasn’t
figured out who has the discs”

Jane leans forwards, placing her hands on Ken’s hands, 
trying to calm his nerves. Ken smiles gently at the 
gesture, as Jane smiles back.

JANE

“Trust me. Everything’s fine. But you
do realize, we’re gonna have to work a
lot harder to try and stop Nolova”

KEN
(nodding)
“I know”

JANE

“I mean, it’s understandable that it’ll be
hard, but we have no choice. Right?”

KEN
(agreeing 100%)
“Of course”

The door to the Coffee House opens, as we see Sammy 
leading the way, with Ben, Rick and Zev following her. 
They spot Ken and Jane immediately, and head towards 
their booth.
JANE

“And here they are”

Sammy smiles nicely as she sits next to Jane in the 
booth. Zev and Rick sit next to Ken, as Ben budges up 
next to Sammy.

KEN

“Right, now that we’re all here”

SAMMY

“Mind if I eat whilst you talk?”

Ken shakes his head. Sammy smiles as she opens her 
sandwich. Ben grabs his sandwich, as he also passes one 
of the bottles of soda to Sammy. Ken pushes his cup to 
the side of the table, making room for something. He 
lifts up a shoulder bag. Zev notices it.

ZEV

“What’s in that?”

KEN

“The information we need”

Ken opens the top of the bag and carefully pulls out a 
fair wad of paper, all filled with information on C-18 
and what Nolova plans to do.

RICK

“Jesus, that’s what was on the discs?”

JANE

“That’s only half. The rest was
unimportant”

BEN

“Why was it unimportant? Surely we
need everything we can get on Nolova?”

JANE

“It was just basic memos of past things,
nothing we don’t already know”

BEN

“Ah”

Sammy, mid-chewing, shouts out loudly:

					SAMMY

“So, is the info important?”

KEN

“Very”

Ken spreads out the first few pages of information, 
looking over them, scan-reading as he tries to find a 
place to start the talk. Jane takes a drink from her 
coffee, as Zev, Rick, Ben and Sammy wait patiently for 
Ken to start talking.

Ken clears his throat as he grabs a bit of paper. He 
lifts it up slightly so he can clearly read from it.

KEN

“Right, we all know about Nolova
being involved in a project known as
C-18”

Everyone murmurs a yes and nod their heads. Ken nods 
slowly, as he continues:

KEN

“C-18 has nothing to do with creating
the perfect human”

ZEV
(confused)
“What? But I thought...”

JANE

“Just listen”

ZEV

“Sure, sorry”

Everyone exchanges glances, as Sammy stuffs the rest of 
her sandwich into her mouth, finishing quickly. Ken puts 
down the sheet of paper and grabs another one and then 
nods his head slowly, having found exactly what he was 
looking for.

KEN

“C-18, to the people who have put in
their money, is about creating an
ultimate assassin for the US government.
Although no such creation exists, the
investors continue to put in their
money, as they believe they will soon
see results”

JANE
(bitterly)
“Bastards, all of them”

SAMMY

“So, they’re being scammed?”

RICK

“Yeah”

KEN

“And that’s not all. The investors
money has been going to, as Jane first
suspected, a small personal demon
army, all who are paid to keep low
profiles and to obey any orders given”

BEN

“Including the assassins he’s sent after
Zev”

KEN

“Exactly. He has been controlling the
demon population in this town. Hence
the up rise, but the low amount of
sightings”

ZEV

“Why do the demons accept his money
though? Surely they could just kill him
and take his money?”

Jane turns to Zev slowly.

JANE
(simply)
“Fear”

SAMMY

“They fear some guy in his forties?”

BEN

“He must have some kind of power”

KEN

“Nothing we know of... But he does
cast a shadow of fear over the demon
world. But what we have here, doesn’t
tell us what power he has, but what he
wants and why they fear him”

RICK

“What is the power?”

KEN

“It’s known as the A’mene, a force
worshipped for many years by the tribes
living in the area. The people believed it
to hold a great power, which could be
bestowed upon a person, who would use
it in whatever way they wished. Good or
evil”

RICK

“And with Terry, I’m guessing he’s
going for evil”

JANE

“Likely”

SAMMY

“Where did they worship this evil?
They must have had an altar or some
kind of shrine”

BEN

“A temple?”

JANE

“It was a huge temple, located outside
of town, probably not too far. It’s under-
ground, and we don’t know where the
hell it is”

ZEV

“Does Terry know where it is?”

KEN

“I doubt he does, or he’d be keeping it
guard if he did”

JANE

“And there’s no mention of it being
found yet, just notes on wanting to
find the location”

RICK

“How do you get into the A’mene? I
mean, there has to be some kind of key
right?”

Ken nods, as Rick smiles, knowing he came up with 
something right.

KEN

“You need two things to enter the temple
of the A’mene. The Scroll of A’mene and
the Jewel of A’mene, both very valuable
and very powerful objects, one leading
the way to the A’mene and the other
opening its power”

Zev looks down slowly, frowning, remembering what Will 
held in his hand at the hideout up North. Zev looks back 
up, as Ken takes a short break from talking.

ZEV

“He has the Scroll”

Ken nods slowly, as if he already knew this.

KEN

“The blond guy grabbed it from it’s
hideout, its safe place. We can’t let
him get the Jewel”

ZEV
(slowly)
“Will”

KEN
(confused)
“Sorry?”

Zev looks at Ken sideways, as everyone watches Zev 
slowly.

ZEV

“Oh, it was the guy’s name. Will”

KEN

“Oh”

JANE

“Don’t worry Zev... We’ll figure this
out, we always do”

ZEV
(unimpressed)
“This is different. This isn’t some boss
at the end of a level, this is the king
bad guy of the game... And I can’t
afford to lose this”

Ken nods, as Jane looks down slightly. Sammy and Rick 
exchange glances, as Zev looks down at the table.
KEN

“No one can afford for this fight to be
won by Terry Nolova. We’re going to
beat him, one way or another”

Everyone turns his or her eyes to Ken. Sammy pipes up, wanting 
to hear herself talk.

SAMMY

“What about storming Nolova’s office
and killing him?”

Everyone instantly turn to Sammy, Jane with a frown on, 
as Rick smirks slightly. Ben puts his left arm around 
Sammy’s shoulders, as she notices everyone’s looks. She 
opens her mouth to talk, when Ken quickly gets into the 
talking range.

KEN

“We can’t risk going in there again. He
already knows someone was in there
and he’ll have tighter security. Best we
can do, is try to find the Jewel, before
he can”

JANE

“I’ll try the Messengers, they must have
something”

ZEV

“Guess I should start training again”

BEN
(quickly)
“And me”

Ken nods slowly and smiles, now having everyone fully 
prepared for whatever fight lies ahead... We pull back, 
as they all continue to talk about terry and the temple 
of A’mene. We leave them slowly, as we:
			
									CUT TO:

INT. CORRIDOR - SCHOOL – DAY

We come into the main school corridor, on Monday morning. 
On our left, is the large, wide stairs leading up to the 
next floor, ahead the open double doors leading into the 
courtyard and on the right, a long row of lockers and a 
classroom door.

Several people crowd around a locker, as a cheerleader 
grabs her books. We see Zev, Rick and Ben walking through 
the front doors, Sammy not too far behind, as she talks 
to a few A-U sisters, over some spells gone wrong.

ZEV
	(drearily)
“Another day”

RICK

“Wonder what Reins will say about
your non-homework”

Zev sighs and runs his hand through his growing blond 
hair. Ben smirks slightly, remembering a time when he was 
suspended for not handing in homework for three weeks.

ZEV

“I just wish he’d lighten the load. He
knows I defend, yet he seems to think
I have time for both my life of homework
and my life of slaying evil creatures of
the night. It’s frustrating!”

BEN

“I hear that. Basketball life and
homework life, very not connecting”

Rick rolls his eyes, as Zev kicks his feet along the 
ground, instead of walking, like a child. Ben looks 
ahead, to see Mr. Reins storming towards them. People 
move out of the way, as Reins barges past a student, 
actually knocking the guy into his locker.

BEN

“Heads up”

ZEV

“Huh?”

Zev looks up, to see Mr. Reins closing in quickly. His 
face, as I shall describe, is filled with anger as he 
stares a burning hole through Zev’s head.

RICK

“Oh shit, he’s on the war path!”

Zev swallows hard, watching the angry teacher, as he 
pulls up right in front of Zev, face mere inches apart, 
Mr. Reins’ minty breath pouring up Zev’s nostrils.

Zev smiles nervously at the fuming teacher. Zev 
sheepishly grins, looking like a young child. He speaks 
lightly:

ZEV

“Morning sir”

Mr. Reins’ eyes pop wider than ever as his mouth opens, 
ready to roar!

Mr. REINS

“WALKER! I don’t ask much, but I do
ask that you hand in homework! There
wasn’t any last lesson and I’m furious!
It covered a very important aspect of
the great art known as Chemistry!
Why, on God’s Earth, did you not hand
in the homework?”

Zev sighs, looking down, as Mr. Reins eyeballs Zev. Rick 
and Ben step to the side slowly, allowing Zev and Reins 
their space.

ZEV

“If you must know, sir, I was out
doing my job!”

Mr. Reins narrows his eyes, clearly annoyed and 
frustrated at this answer.

Mr. REINS

“I don’t care if you were flipping
burgers using your teeth boy! You have
detention, one hour, today at four”

Zev looks up in shock, anger etc. His eyes open wide, as 
Rick’s jaw drops. A few students stop to watch the action.

ZEV
	(furiously)
“WHAT?”

RICK

“Come on sir, that’s a bit harsh...”

Mr. Reins rounds onto Rick.

Mr. REINS

“Want to join him Evans?”

RICK
(slowly)
“Well, I...”

ZEV

“No, he wouldn’t. Just give me the
slip”

Mr. Reins turns back to Zev, and hands him a form, 
already filled out with the detention details.

Mr. REINS

“My room, four, sharp!”

Zev snatches the form from Reins’ hands, before Mr. Reins 
turns around and heads back through the crowded corridor, 
as students watch him go. Ben and Rick move next to Zev 
and watch, in stunned silence at the jumped up gnome.

BEN

“What an asshole”

ZEV

“Friggin Detention!”

Zev immediately shoves the form into his pocket, in a 
huffy way. Rick sympathizes... sort of.
RICK

“Well, look at it on the bright side.
You’ll be able to catch up on the
homework”

Rick grins as he pats Zev on the shoulder. Zev scowls at 
him, before slowly smirking, knowing he can’t help but 
laugh at that.

ZEV
(smirking)
“This isn’t funny”

BEN

“No, it’s detention. Unlucky”

Zev groans loudly as all three of the continue on their 
way towards class.
			
									CUT TO:

INT. CLASSROOM - SCHOOL – DAY

We see Ashley and Vicki, standing by a teacher’s desk, as 
the rest of the class file out of the classroom, in a 
very disorderly fashion. Ashley, wearing a tight blue 
sweater and baggy grey pants, stands behind Vicki, as the 
female teacher hands Vicki a detention form.

Vicki, with an evil glare, protests profoundly, as the 
teacher is adamant over her decision.

TEACHER

“I’m sorry Vicki, but if you can’t get
the assignment done on time, then
you’ll just have to live with the
consequences!”

VICKI
					(quickly and beggingly)
“But I did complete the work! I just
forgot to bring it in today! What if I
bring it in tomorrow?”

TEACHER
(adamant)
“I’m sorry Vicki, it’s over. You have
detention, now, I have another lesson,
so if you don’t mind...”

The teacher nods to the door, as Vicki rolls her eyes, 
knowing she’s lost. Ashley follows Vicki as she storms 
towards the door. We follow them both out into the 
corridor.

INT. CORRIDOR - SCHOOL - DAY

VICKI

“I can’t believe it, my first detention”

Ashley smirks, as Vicki rants on about her ‘record’ being 
smashed.

ASHLEY

“Look at it this way. You won’t have
to watch Kerri and John go at the chilli
fries contest”

VICKI

(sadly)

“But that’s fun”

Ashley glances at Vicki with a raised eyebrow.

ASHLEY

“Maybe we should trade! I’ll go to
detention and you can watch the slob
twins wolf down a couple trays of
fries”

Vicki sighs, as Ashley puts her arm around Vicki’s 
shoulders.

ASHLEY

“School life is harsh Vicki”

VICKI

“Never been this harsh”

ASHLEY

“Face it, we’re coming to the end of the
tenth grade, the teachers are going to
come down on us when we don’t hand
in work”

Vicki nods, defeated, sad and annoyed. Ashley and Vicki 
walk on slowly.
			
									CUT TO:

EXT. COURTYARD - SCHOOL - DAY

We come outside the main front doors of the school. We 
see students walking under the brick arch towards the car 
park, other students moping about with friends. We see 
Zev, Rick and Tim sitting on one of the benches in one 
corner of the courtyard.

TIM

“I feel for you man. But hey, you
should have done the homework”

Both Rick and Zev look up at Tim slowly, unsure of what 
they’ve just heard. Tim sits, nodding his head slowly, as 
if he’s agreeing to a compliment paid to him...

RICK

“Since when did you ever do
homework?”

TIM

“Ah, see Rick. Life isn’t always about
fun... Unless you’re me. But anyway,
I try to do the homework when I can”

ZEV

“Is that why you got busted for paying
some eighth grader to do it for you?”

Zev smirks, as Rick starts to laugh loudly. Tim leans 
forwards, going slightly red as he tries to change the 
subject.

TIM

“So, um, I hear there’s only you in
detention Zev... Wow, lonely”

SAMMY (OS)

“Oh no it isn’t. Vicki got detention!”

The three guys look up, to see Sammy and Ashley standing 
a few feet away, obviously walking towards the guys. 
Sammy stops a few feet in front of the guys, as does 
Ashley.

RICK
(shocked)
“Miss. Reid got detention?”

TIM
(drooling)
“Mmm, Vicki”

Ashley smirks, as Tim notices her.

TIM

“Oh, hey Ash! Been a while”

ASHLEY

“Yeah, it has”

Zev looks at Sammy, as Rick continues to laugh at the Tim-
fraud-homework scheme and with Vicki getting a detention. 
Tim and Ashley start to talk, catching up on old times, 
as Zev stands up. Ashley sits where Zev had just been, 
scooching in there like a rocket.

Zev and Sammy move a few feet away, as Zev wishes to 
discuss this in a more... private way. Sammy looks a bit 
taken aback with the privatisation.

ZEV

“What happened with Vicki?”

SAMMY
(simply)
“The biology teacher was being a bitch
and gave Vicki a detention. So, it looks
like it’s you and her this afternoon”

Zev looks down slowly, as something dawns on him, 
something he’d never really thought would happen... A one 
on one session with Vicki... Well, with Mr. Reins as the 
strict watcher.

Zev looks back up at Sammy, as Sammy’s attention seems to 
have drifted over to a butterfly as it flies around a 
large rose.

SAMMY

“Pretty”

ZEV

“Well, guess I better start my walk, the
last mile so to speak”

SAMMY
(distracted)
“Yeah... sure”

Zev rolls his eyes as he turns back to see only Rick 
sitting down, as we can see Tim and Ashley walking slowly 
towards the archway. Sammy seems to, on instinct, move 
towards Tim and Ashley, as if on auto-walk.

Rick stands and moves over to Zev quickly, curious to 
know what he talked about with Sammy.

RICK

“What was that all about?”

ZEV

“Just about Vicki, I was just wondering
what she did”

RICK
(slowly)
“You know... If it is just the two of
you in detention, you could finally
get to say what you’ve been wanting to...”

Zev nods slowly, absorbing Rick’s input into his already 
fully-absorbed brain, as his mind races over what to 
do...
			
									CUT TO:
INT. CORRIDOR - SCHOOL - DAY

Rick and Zev slowly walk up to the Chemistry classroom 
door, not the lab. Zev breathes in nervously, as Rick 
holds Zev’s bag.

ZEV

“This is it”

RICK

“It’s only an hour, no sweat”

ZEV

“Easy for you to say”

RICK
(shrugging)
“Hey, Laid Back Evans here”

Zev turns his head to Rick and frowns. Rick nods slowly, 
getting what Zev means.

RICK

“Ok, that was just lame”

ZEV

“Yeah, really lame”

RICK

“Well, see you later on”

ZEV

“Yeah, thanks”

Zev smiles and nods, as Rick turns and begins to walk 
away.
			
									CUT TO:

EXT. COURTYARD - SCHOOL - DAY

Along the main path in the courtyard, on a straight 
course to the main open school doors, walks Will! He 
slowly moves along, looking around himself warily, as if 
expecting to be attacked.

He appears to know that what he wants will be here, in 
the school... The sun beats down, as we pan up. We see 
Will vanish into the school doors...
			
									CUT TO:

INT. CORRIDOR - SCHOOL – DAY

As Zev slowly twists the door handle on the classroom 
door, he closes his eyes tensely. He appears to count to 
‘10’, before pushing the door open.

RICK (OS)

“Hey!”

Zev turns his head quickly at the shout of his best 
friend’s voice...

We pan around, to see Rick running back down the hall, 
holding Zev’s bag still. Rick holds the bag up, as Zev 
literally slaps his forehead.

ZEV

“My bag”

Rick reaches Zev, panting.

RICK

“Yeah, you let me walk off with it!”

ZEV
(taking bag)
“Thanks, a lot”

RICK

“Don’t mention it. Forgetful Walker,
that’s your new lame nick name”

Rick grins, as Zev smirks. Rick turns and heads back off. 
Zev turns back into the classroom, as Rick turns back one 
more time.

RICK
(shouting)
“Good luck Zev! See you in an hour!”

Zev waves his arm back out through the doorway.

ANGLE ON the door, as it shuts. We slowly pan up, to see 
at the opposite end of the corridor, Will! We zoom up to 
Will’s face, as he smirks, getting everything that he had 
hoped for...

WILL
(slowly)
“Zev... Gotcha”

Will smirks, as he turns and continues along the 
corridor.
			
									CUT TO:

INT. CLASSROOM - SCHOOL - DAY

Zev slowly walks over to one of the workbenches. We see 
Mr. Reins at the front of the classroom, finishing 
marking up some papers.

Zev slowly sits down on a stool, as the classroom door 
opens again. Vicki walks in, still in a mood, as she 
grumpily slings her bag onto the floor. She continues 
towards Zev, smiling at him, fakely to cover her bad 
mood.

ZEV

“Hey”

VICKI

“Hi”

Mr. REINS
(loudly)
“Right, you time can start now, so
both of you just sit there quietly and
don’t talk or move!”

Zev snatches a glance at the grumpy old guy at the front 
of the classroom.

Suddenly, a cell phone starts to ring. Mr. Reins sighs 
loudly, as he pulls out a brick of a cell phone. He flips 
it open and answers it.

Mr. REINS

“Yes?”

His face changes from annoyed to happiness.

Mr. REINS

“Jess! Great to hear from you... Hang
on a second”

Mr. Reins notices Vicki and Zev watching him. Mr. Reins 
stands and slowly moves to the door. He turns back to 
Vicki and Zev.

Mr. REINS

“Ten minutes”

Zev and Vicki nod, as Mr. Reins walks out of the room. 
The door shuts, and Vicki instantly turns to Zev.

VICKI

“Can you believe that asshole?”

ZEV

“Not normally”

Vicki looks at Zev slowly, as Zev seems to stare back.

VICKI

“What did you do to get detention?”

ZEV

“Didn’t hand in my chemistry homework.
You?”

VICKI

“Same, except with biology”

Zev nods slowly, as he looks down at the floor, knowing 
what he was to say...

Zev breathes in deeply, taking the biggest intake of 
oxygen possible. He breathes out slowly, as he looks at 
Vicki, who frowns and watches him curiously.

VICKI

“What are you doing?”

Zev places both his hands onto the workbench slowly... 
Could this be it? The time to reveal his feelings?

ZEV

“Vicki, I have to tell you something...”

Vicki raises an eyebrow, as she can tell this is 
something serious. Zev looks down and closes his eyes, 
keeping them shut for a few moments.

VICKI
(slowly)
“What is it?”

Zev slowly raises his head as he looks at Vicki.

ZEV

“I like you Vicki”

Zev looks at Vicki with compassionate eyes, as if looking 
into the depths of her soul. Vicki smirks.

VICKI

“Yeah, I like you too Zev”

Zev shakes his head slowly. Vicki frowns slightly.

ZEV

“I mean, I really like you”

Zev nods slowly, as Vicki seems to get what Zev is 
saying. Well, her main reaction is shock, being taken 
aback. She leans back, raising both eyebrows. She’s 
stunned, speechless... Well, not quite.

VICKI

“Well, it took you long enough”

Vicki smiles gently, as Zev frowns, confused at the 
situation that he thought he had control over...

ZEV

“What do you mean?”

VICKI

“Come on Zev, everyone knew that
you had feelings for me. Everyone
knew that I did have feelings for you...”

Vicki trails off, lowering her eyes. Zev picks up on a 
few words...

ZEV
(slowly)
“Did have?”

Vicki looks up. She looks straight into Zev’s eyes, as 
they finally connect, even though it’s only for a few 
minutes, they’re connected, speaking their minds.

VICKI

“Zev... I really liked you, and did for
quite a few years... We just didn’t do
anything. And over the last few
months, I’ve changed”

ZEV
(confused)
“Changed? How? You don’t like me
anymore?”

VICKI

“I don’t mean it to sound mean Zev,
but my feelings towards you have
changed... I once felt more than
friendship for you, but over the last
few months, we’ve grown up a bit
more, seem to be different than what
we both were. I mean, you’re more
assertive and appear stronger than you
look, and I’ve grown in the area of
making hard choices”

ZEV

“This being one of them”

Vicki nods slowly, as Zev, crushed, looks down at the 
floor, breaking the eye contact and connection... Vicki 
re-instates the connection as she leans forwards and 
grabs Zev’s hands, holding them in her own. Zev raises 
his head and looks back into Vicki’s blue eyes.

VICKI

“You know, I used to always think that
one day, you’d ask me out”

Zev smirks, cursing himself for not having the bottle to.

VICKI

“And now my feelings have changed,
you then make the move. Bummer or
what?”

ZEV
(smirking)
“Could say that”

VICKI
(gently)
“I’m all for us being good friends...
Are you?”

Zev looks deeply into Vicki, wishing he had have acted 
sooner rather than later, wishing he could still be with 
her, but he really knows that he blew it...

ZEV

“I guess I blew the whole dating thing”

VICKI

“I think we both kinda did that. Not
you, us”

ZEV
(smirking)
“I’m up for friends”

VICKI
					(unsure)
“Really? You’re not just saying that...
I can understand if you’re upset...”

ZEV

“Upset, yeah. But I don’t want to loose
you as a friend Vicki”

Vicki smiles, as she tightens her hands over Zev’s hands. 
Vicki leans forwards and slowly kisses Zev on the left 
cheek. She pulls back slowly, as the classroom door flies 
open.

Mr. Reins moves back in, as Zev and Vicki break hands. 
Zev smiles happily at Vicki, obviously at the kiss! Vicki 
smiles happily, over the air clearing.

ZEV

“Thank you”

VICKI

“You’re welcome”

We slowly pull back and pan up, as we watch Mr. Reins sit 
back down. Vicki and Zev still look at each other, 
smiling, as we slowly fade out.
