               EXT. DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - INTERSTATE 5 ON RAMP - DAY

               Blocking the on ramp to the main interstate leading out of
               the greater LA area is a large police BARRICADE. 

               A dozen police cars are piled behind the barricade, ensuring
               no motorists can pass.

               Citizens are protesting with the police, demanding to be let
               through.

               ANGLE ON a pack of police dogs, barking at the citizens. A
               potentially ugly situation.

               INT. AIRPLANE - COCKPIT - DAY

               A flight attendant enters the cockpit. One of the pilots look
               to her. She gives him a questioning look. 

               He grimly shakes his head and points to a small screen. It
               reads 'Continue to hover. Runways will be full with emergency
               landings. Will contact again soon.'

               The attendant looks from the screen to the fuel gauge. The
               fuel is at less than a quarter.

               INT. G&C'S CONDO - LIVING ROOM - DAY

               Gabriella is on her laptop now. On the screen, a web browser
               shows a news site. The headline reads 'Airplanes diverted or
               hovering until LA outbreak is resolved'.

               Connor taps Gabriella on the shoulder. He points to her eyes
               with two fingers, then to Lesi with one.

               Connor mouths 'sit' without an accompanying hand motion for
               the command.

               Lesi sits instantly. Gabriella's eyes light up and she looks
               up to Connor, then back to her dog.

               Gabriella mouths 'lie down.'

               Lesi sprawls out on the floor, obeying the command.

               Connor mouths 'leash.'

               Lesi rushes over to the front door where Gabriella left her
               leash, picks it up in her mouth, and brings it back to
               Connor.

               Connor tentatively accepts it while looking at Gabriella for
               an explanation.

               She shrugs her shoulders and points to her bookshelf of
               ancient texts. Research time.

               EXT. SKYLINE - DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - EVENING

               Shot of the sun beginning to set.

               INT. G&C'S CONDO - LIVING ROOM - NEXT

               Tight shot of Gabriella sitting in lotus position in front of
               the living room table.

               PULL BACK to show her diverting her attention between several
               volumes in front of her. She runs her hand through her hair,
               frustrated with the apparent lack of progress.

               PULL BACK further to show Connor on the couch behind her,
               fast asleep. She smiles at his sleeping form.

               Next to Connor on the couch, Lesi is staring towards the
               front door and barking loudly. 

               Gabriella turns around and is startled by PIKE and KAIA,
               standing right in front of her. 

               PAN to the left of the couple to see the front door. The
               frame is splintered and broken in places. The door was kicked
               in.

               Gabriella looks up at Pike and angrily points at the door.

               Lesi is still barking at Kaia. Gabriella turns to her pet and
               points towards her room. Lesi hops off the couch and leaves
               the room.

               Pike makes a knocking motion with his hands, taps his watch,
               holds up five fingers, points to Gabriella, tugs his ear and
               shakes his head.

               Gabriella nods, understanding the message. She gets to her
               feet and disappears into her room. 

               Kaia kneels down and gently shakes Connor, waking him up. He
               blearily rubs his eyes as Gabriella returns with her laptop.

               Connor offers up a meek wave to the two visitors as he sits
               up.

               ON Pike, pushing the door shut. Not having a frame and door
               knob slot to hold it in place, it slowly swings open again. 

               He shrugs and walks out of frame, quickly returning with a
               chair that he uses to barricade the door, keeping it shut.

               NORMAL SCENE

               Gabriella is running a cord from her computer to the
               television. She types in a few commands on the laptop and
               changes the channel on the television.

               Her desktop appears on the screen. 

               Gabriella sets the laptop on the table and sits down.

               She opens up a blank MS Word document and starts to type.

               I've been working on this all day and I got nothing. Aside
               from the fact that Lesi seems to be able to hear, I haven't
               made any progress.

               Kaia looks at Gabriella, confused. 

               She mouths 'Lesi'?

               Gabriella nods, cups her hands to her mouth, and yells
               something. Her hands cover her mouth, preventing any lip
               reading.

               Lesi bounds out of her bedroom and freezes in her tracks when
               she sees Kaia and immediately starts barking again.

               Kaia mouths 'Lesi, sit'. 

               No dice. Lesi is still up on all fours, barking.

               Gabriella holds up a finger to Kaia and mouths 'Lesi, quiet'.

               Lesi instantly stops barking.

               Gabriella mouths 'Lesi, sit'.

               Lesi sits down.

               Kaia looks back and forth between Lesi and Gabriella. Then
               she taps Gabriella on the shoulder, points to herself, then
               the laptop. 

               Gabriella scoots over to make space for Kaia to get to the
               keyboard.

               Maybe it's not magical.

               As soon as she finishes typing, she backspaces to erase the
               sentence.

               Well, it is magic, but it's basic physics too.

               Kaia looks to Gabriella, whose expression says she's not
               following. Kaia continues to type.

               ON Connor and Pike sitting on the couch, watching and reading
               along. Both of them look wholly uninterested.

               Gabriella puts her hands over the keyboard.

               ANGLE ON the television screen.

               Almost all magic is based on physics. I still don't get it.

               Beat.

               Some animals have much wider ranges of frequencies they can
               hear than humans do. We can only hear up to about 20 kHz.
               Dogs, for example, are much much higher.

               Beat.

               How do you know all this?

               Beat.

               I majored in biogy.

               ON SCENE

               Gabriella holds up a finger and takes over typing.

               ANGLE ON the television screen.

               The cursor backspaces before:

               Biology?

               ON SCENE

               Kaia rolls her eyes. Nitpicker.

               Behind the girls, Pike taps Connor on the shoulder and makes
               a drinking motion. Connor nods and they both get up from the
               couch and head for the kitchen.

               Gabriella continues to type.

               BACK TO the screen.

               What I don't understand is how Connor and I still can't hear,
               given our enhanced senses.

               Beat.

               The Word window minimizes and another folder is opened up.

               INT. G&C'S CONDO - KITCHEN - NEXT

               Connor opens the fridge and holds up a bottled water. 

               Pike smiles and takes the offering, nodding his thanks.

               Connor grabs one for himself and they move into:

               INT. G&C'S CONDO - LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS

               The boys stand behind the couch watching the girls continue
               their typed conversation.

               ANGLE ON the television screen.

               A PDF file is open and rapidly being scrolled through.

               The screen stops at one section in particular. A passage is
               highlighted.

               'Subject is able to hear frequencies of sound as low as 14 Hz
               and as high as 35 kHz.'

               BACK TO Connor and Pike, both rolling their eyes and walking
               out to the patio.

               BACK ON the screen.

               The PDF minimizes and the Word window is pulled back up.

               That's from a group over in England who ran a bunch of tests
               on Connor over the summer. Assuming your hearing is about the
               same...

               Beat.

               ON Kaia nodding at Gabriella. Back on the screen.

               How high can a dog hear?

               Beat.

               Upwards of 50 kHz I think. 

               Beat.

               Okay, well that's something I guess. My question is how
               something like this could be accomplished?

               Beat.

               It's magic, honey. That's your deal. 

               Beat.

               I'll have to do some more research. 

               Beat.

               'Course you do.

               Beat.

               At least now I know what kind of spell to look for. A
               starting place is better than where I was seven hours ago.

               Beat.

               Well, we're here to help.

               Beat.

               LOL. Pike's going to do book research?

               Beat.

               He can make the coffee.

               ON SCENE

               Pike rushes up to the girls and wave his hands in front of
               their eyes to get their attention.

               He points to the patio and motions for them to follow him
               outside.

               The girls follow him out to:

               EXT. G&C'S CONDO - PATIO - CONTINUOUS

               Connor looks at the girls, then points down to the city
               street.

               FROM OVERHEAD looking down, there's a massive car accident.
               Several people are visibly arguing. One man viciously punches
               a woman in the jaw, sending her to the ground.

               Another man jumps on him and things quickly break down into
               an all out melee.

               ON our four, watching the scene unfold. Pike waves his right
               hand in front of the other three and points off to the left.

               FROM OVERHEAD, we see a group of teenagers running down the
               street away from the scene, carrying various electronics and
               appliances.

               All four look disturbed with what they're seeing. Gabriella
               is the first to move back inside. 

               Everyone else soon follows.

               PAN UP to the sky. Two airplanes are visible, flying in
               opposite directions.

               INT. G&C'S CONDO - LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS

               Gabriella sits back down to the computer.

               ON the screen.

               This is chaos! It's only going to get worse. We need to do
               something.

               Pike steps over and asks Gabriella to make room for him.

               J

               Pause as he searches for the next key.

               Ju

               Again he has to look. Gabriella raises her eyebrow, amused at
               Pike's ineptitude.

               Jus

               Normal shot as Pike shakes his head and picks up a notepad,
               scribbling a message into it. He turns it around for all to
               see.

               Just show me what I need to shoot.

               His face says he means business.

               EXT. OCCULT SHOP - NIGHT

               These particular streets are bare except for Gabriella's car
               and Pike's bike. The brake lights flash twice, indicating the
               car alarm's been set.

               INT. OCCULT SHOP - MAIN FLOOR - NEXT

               The front door opens and Gabriella turns on the lights. She
               has her laptop in a bag on her shoulder.

               Lesi zips past her and starts running all over the shop. New
               surroundings.

               She bumps into a display tower of various necklaces and
               chokers. It tips over and is caught by Connor, out of
               nowhere, before hitting the ground. 

               Connor angrily turns to the dog and points his finger towards
               the ground. Lesi sits down and covers her face with her front
               paws.

               Gabriella, Pike, and Kaia head to the storage room in the
               back. Connor points his finger directly at Lesi and mouths
               'stay' before he follows the others.

               INT. OCCULT SHOP - STORAGE ROOM - NEXT

               Gabriella hands a slip of paper to Kaia and points off to the
               right. Kaia heads to the right.

               She hands another slip to Connor and points him to the left.
               Connor goes off to find his list.

               She starts to go down the aisle in front of her. Pike grabs
               and points to himself with a questioning look.

               Gabriella thinks to herself before handing her purse and
               laptop to him. She points to the ground, telling him to stay
               put.

               He looks back at her, almost offended at the assignment. She
               grins and pats his cheek before heading down the aisle.

               INT. OCCULT SHOP - MAIN FLOOR - NEXT

               Lesi is laying down on the ground. She suddenly pops her head
               up and looks towards the front door. Then she turns and
               dashes to the storage room.

               INT. OCCULT SHOP - STORAGE ROOM - NEXT

               Pike is still standing at the front of the large room,
               holding Gabriella's belongings. Lesi barrels into him from
               behind, causing him to fall and drop the bags.

               Stay with Lesi as she pauses briefly before running to the
               left, dashing down an aisle and pouncing on Connor. Connor
               shoves her off, but she continues to bark at him.

               She backs away slowly, still barking, and turns and runs.
               Connor gets it. Follow her.

               Back to Pike, standing back up with the bags. He spins out of
               Lesi's way to avoid a repeat, then is knocked over again by
               Connor a second later.

               INT. OCCULT SHOP - MAIN FLOOR - NEXT

               Lesi is in the middle of the room barking. Connor comes up to
               her, trying to calm her down.

               A pair of BRIGHT LIGHTS are flashing into the room through
               the front windows. 

               Connor looks up and his eyes go wide. It's a pair of
               headlights. Gabriella's headlights!

               Behind him, Gabriella, Kaia, and a disgruntled looking Pike
               come out of the storage room.

               Connor makes a beeline for the exit, Gabriella two steps
               behind him.

               EXT. OCCULT SHOP - NIGHT

               The tires smoke on Gabriella's car as it whips into a tight
               turn going backwards and takes off away from the store.

               Connor gets out of the door and takes off running.

               Gabriella is out right after him, followed by Pike and Kaia.

               Gabriella watches her car being stolen and chased by Connor
               for a beat before turning around and taking the bags from
               Pike, going back into the store.

               EXT. CITY STREET - NEXT

               Gabriella's car turns a corner and continues onwards. 

               Five seconds later, Connor also turns the corner, hurdling a
               fire hydrant before slowing to a stop. He can't catch it.

                                                             BLACK OUT.



                                   END OF ACT TWO
                                      ACT THREE

               FADE IN.

               INT. OCCULT SHOP - MAIN FLOOR - NIGHT

               Pike and Kaia look over Gabriella's shoulder as she types
               into her laptop. She pulls her PDA phone out of her purse and
               connects it to the computer with a USB cord.

               Connor walks back in, his head down. Gabriella waves him
               over. He steps over and she turns the laptop to him. 

               On the screen is a web browser window showing a constantly
               refreshing map. PAN over to the PDA laying on the counter
               showing the same thing.

               Connor looks up at Gabriella, confused.

               INT. GABRIELLA'S CAR - NIGHT

               A young man wearing a black hoodie is driving the car. 

               Pan over to and close in on the center console in the car and
               the GPS navigation system embedded in it.

               INT. OCCULT SHOP - MAIN FLOOR - NIGHT

               Connor nods his head, understanding now.

               Gabriella hands Connor a large box full of books and
               materials for spells. 

               Everyone starts for the door, Connor bringing up the rear. He
               stops when he looks at the cover of one of the books in the
               box.

               ON the book with a title written in Latin. Under the title is
               a huge symbol, a circle with eight arrows protruding from it.

               INT. G&C'S CONDO - LIVING ROOM (FLASHBACK)

               Connor walks the coffee table on the way to his room, seeing
               the stack of papers and books. One book has the same symbol
               and is titled 'Practices in Chaos.'

               EXT. CSULA WEST CAMPUS - STUDENT COMMONS (FLASHBACK)

               Connor looks at Tracy's hurt shoulder, touching it just above
               her tattoo. It's the same symbol.

               INT. OCCULT SHOP - MAIN FLOOR - NIGHT

               Connor looks towards his friends and tries to yell something
               at them. When that (obviously) doesn't work, he digs through
               the box.

               ON Pike as a small book smacks him in the head from behind.

               Pike grabs his head and turns around, looking non plussed at
               the attack. Gabriella and Kaia also turn around.

               Normal shot as Connor shrugs his shoulders and waves everyone
               back over.

               He opens one of the other books and pulls out a pen. 

               Before he can write on it, Gabriella slams her hand on top of
               his, looking at him like he's crazy.

               She digs through the laptop back and pulls out a small
               notepad, flipping to a blank page. 

               Connor rolls his eyes and writes a message.

               'I need you to find someone for me. Tracy Dillard. She goes
               to CSU.'

               Gabriella meets Connor's eyes and mouths 'why'?

               Connor writes down 'A hunch.'

               Gabriella gives him the 'you're crazy' look again. She points
               to everyone in the room, herself last, then holds out her
               hands like they're on a steering wheel. Finally, she holds up
               her PDA.

               Connor gives her a pleading look.

               Pike, with his cell phone out, taps Connor on the shoulder,
               points to himself and gives an 'okay' signal. 

               He starts to type a text message into his cell phone.

               EXT. CITY STREET - NIGHT

               A man is SLAMMED onto the hood of a police car by a cop. The
               cop slaps on a pair of handcuffs and muscles the perp into
               the back of the car.

               He opens his door and stops to pull out his cell phone. On it
               is a new text message: 'Dude, it's Pike. I need an address
               for a Tracy Dillard. Coed at CSU.'

               The cop types a response.

               INT. OCCULT SHOP - MAIN FLOOR - NEXT

               Connor flutters his hand in the air at Gabriella and Kaia,
               telling them to leave. Kaia pops him in the arm and gives
               Connor his third 'you're crazy' expression.

               Connor points to Gabriella and animatedly wriggles his
               fingers in the air. 

               He points to Kaia and rears his head back in a mock howl.
               Then he contorts his face into a sinister expression and
               makes clawing signs with his hands.

               Gabriella turns Connor's face to her and mouths 'you sure?'

               Connor nods his head emphatically. Then he shakes his head
               just as hard. Then he shrugs his shoulders. 

               ON Pike's phone. A new message. 'Dude, I'm crazy busy right
               now.'

               Pike starts to type a return message.

               EXT. CITY STREET - NIGHT

               The cop checks his phone again. Pike's message reads '2 cases
               of beer and free rent for a month?'

               FLASH CUT TO a few moments later. Now the cop is in his squad
               car typing into his dashboard computer.

               INT. OCCULT SHOP - MAIN FLOOR - NEXT

               Gabriella and Kaia share a look before they both sigh
               heavily. Gabriella nods to Connor.

               Kaia walks over to Pike and gives him a small kiss, followed
               by a long hug, wrapping her arms around him inside his
               jacket. 

               Pike kisses his girlfriend's forehead before she leaves with
               Gabriella.

               EXT. OCCULT SHOP - NIGHT

               Gabriella walks to the curb and looks up and down the street,
               searching for a cab.

               Kaia walks up to her and dangles a set of keys in front of
               her face. She turns around and looks behind her. Gabriella
               follows her eyes to Pike's bike.

               Gabriella grins and takes the keys.

               INT. OCCULT SHOP - MAIN FLOOR - NEXT

               Connor is sitting on the display case with Pike pacing back
               and forth looking at his phone. He abruptly stops.

               Then he walks back over to Connor and holds his phone up to
               him. Connor looks at the screen and smiles, nodding his
               thanks.

               They walk out of the shop.

               EXT. OCCULT SHOP - NEXT

               Pike and Connor look around for his bike. Pike searches
               himself for the keys, coming up empty. He smiles and shakes
               his head. He knows what happened.

               Connor digs through his pockets and produces a handful of
               change. He looks down the street to a bus stop.

               INT. MTA BUS - LATER

               Connor and Pike climb the steps of the bus and Connor puts in
               fare for both of them.

               ANGLE ON the rest of the bus. Completely empty.

               Connor looks to the rather portly BUS DRIVER. He cups his
               hands together and mouths 'thank you', grateful that the bus
               is still running.

               The driver makes a cash motion with his thumb and fingers,
               then points to himself and mimes eating food.

               It's then that he notices Lesi standing outside the door.

               He shakes his head no. Connor pulls out a twenty dollar bill
               and hands it to the driver. He nods and points his thumb to
               the back of the bus.

               Connor walks off to take his seat. Pike stumbles as the bus
               lurches forward, pulling off. Lesi bounds off past him to
               catch up to Connor.

               EXT. CITY STREET - NIGHT

               Gabriella pulls to a stop at a red light. She sits up and
               pulls out her PDA. Kaia looks over her shoulder and taps her
               on the arm. She motions for them to keep going.

               Gabriella points to the red light. Kaia sweeps her arms
               around the area. She's got a point. The streets are deserted. 

               Gabriella nods and starts to cross the intersection,
               instantly stopping to narrowly avoid getting T-bone'd by a
               car speeding past them.

               She frowns and turns back to Kaia, who gives a sheepish
               expression in response.

               INT. KMZP RADIO STATION - EMPLOYEE LOUNGE - NIGHT

               Ethan and his students are drinking coffee and watching the
               news. Tracy flips between a few stations, each of them
               showing various images of accidents and riots in the streets.

               Eric taps Ethan on his shoulder and shows him his Mac laptop
               screen. 

               ON the screen. It's showing a high angle video of a gang of
               kids mugging a well dressed man. At the top of the window,
               the title reads 'LA Staples Center.' It's a traffic camera.

               The mouse moves to the next button and the image switches.
               This time it's a security camera in a bank. Men in masks are
               emptying the registers.

               Another change of screens shows another camera at a site of a
               horrific car accident. Both cars are wrecked. EMTs are
               lifting one bloodied victim onto a stretcher.

               Normal scene. Ethan smiles, enjoying his work. He pats Eric
               on the shoulder.

               EXT. AUTO REPAIR SHOP - NIGHT

               Establishing shot of a large building with several garage
               doors at the front. A gas pump is at the forefront of the
               frame.

               Gabriella and Kaia pull to a stop in front of the pump. They
               dismount the bike and Gabriella looks at the PDA, making sure
               she's at the right place.

               EXT. CSULA CAMPUS - STUDENT HOUSING COMPLEX - NIGHT

               Establishing shot of the dormitory (the only one on campus).

               INT. STUDENT HOUSING COMPLEX - FIRST FLOOR - NEXT

               Pike and Connor slowly walk down the hall. Pike turns to
               Connor and shrugs his shoulder. He doesn't know what room
               she's in.

               Connor sniffs the air and motions for Pike to follow him.

                                                          FLASH CUT TO:

               INT. STUDENT HOUSING COMPLEX - THIRD FLOOR - NEXT

               Connor is still in front, his head (and nose) held high. He
               stops in front of a door and points to it.

               They both raise fists to knock and stop at the same time.
               That's not going to work.

               Pike takes a step back and rears up to kick the door in.
               Connor holds out his arm to stop him and reaches into his
               inside jacket pocket.

               He pulls out a small leather wrap and unravels it to reveal a
               set of LOCK PICKS.

               Pike nods and steps aside to let Connor work.

               It takes him about thirty seconds to get the door open. He
               looks up at Pike and winks as he opens the door. 

               Pike goes in first. Connor stops to put the wrap around his
               wrist and cover it with his jacket sleeve before he follows.

               INT. TRACY'S APARTMENT - CONTINUOUS

               The apartment is a whole hell of a lot bigger than most
               campus dorms.

               Connor sniffs the air and walks off to the left into:

               INT. TRACY'S BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS

               Connor picks up a bottle of perfume and gives it a sniff. He
               looks back to Pike and nods. Same scent. They're in the right
               room.

               They start to search through the room.

               Pike opens the top drawer on Tracy's dresser, revealing some
               skimpy undergarments. Pike wryly grins before he moves to the
               second drawer.

               Connor sorts through the mess on the desk in the opposite
               corner, stopping when he comes across a piece of a paper with
               a paragraph written in Latin.

               He takes out his cell phone and starts a new text message.

               EXT. AUTO REPAIR SHOP - NIGHT

               Gabriella and Kaia walk around to the side of the building. 

               Gabriella checks her PDA. On it is a message from Connor. 'I
               need a translation'. Gabriella starts her response.

               INT. TRACY'S BEDROOM - NEXT

               Connor gets Gabriella's response. 'What is it?'. 

               He holds up the piece of paper, copying the words into his
               phone.

               Just as he finishes his message, a BOOT hits him in the back
               of the head.

               He whirls around, holding the impact spot. Pike waves him
               over to the window on the opposite wall.

               Connor walks over and Pike points outside.

               CUT TO a shot looking out the window. The KMZP radio tower is
               visible in the distance. It's glowing green.

               Connor pulls out his cell phone and reads Gabriella's
               response: 'It says Janus, carry to the winds the sounds of
               life and bring to the earth the still, calm quiet of the
               dead. Banish the cries, the screams, the...'

               He tries to scroll further, but there's no more. Seconds
               later, a new message comes in. '...laughs to the sky. Bring
               upon us a plague of tranquil silence. That's a spell! Where
               are you?'.

               Connor looks back to the tower, then to Pike. They know where
               to go.

               EXT. AUTO REPAIR SHOP - ROOFTOP - NEXT

               Gabriella finishes typing into her phone and joins Kaia at
               the glass bay window.

               Inside, Gabriella's car is just one of many. 

               Several teenagers are working on another car, stripping it
               down.

               Gabriella and Kaia share a look.

               EXT. CSULA WEST CAMPUS - STUDENT COMMONS - NIGHT

               Pike, Connor, and Lesi are walking briskly through the area.
               In the distance, the radio tower is directly in front of
               them.

               Connor is typing into his phone again.

               INT. AUTO REPAIR SHOP - NIGHT

               A storm of glass falls into the center of the room, causing
               all the teenagers to scatter.

               WOLF KAIA drops onto the roof of a car positioned under the
               roof's bay window. 

               She snarls, looking at the terrified kids. They scramble
               around for weapons, picking up blow torches and crow bars.

               Kaia sizes them all up.

               Suddenly, all of their weapons fly out of their hands and
               land at the base of the car Kaia is on.

               They all look around the room, one of them seeing Gabriella
               standing at one of the open garage bays, her eyes YELLOW.

               All of teenagers are FLUNG by an invisible force into a wall. 

               Kaia hops off the car and bounds over to all of them,
               snapping at them to keep them in place. 

               She paces back and forth like she's looking at a police line
               up, sniffing each of them. 

               She stops at one kid in particular. This one is wearing a
               familiar black hoodie. Kaia HOWLS and turns back to
               Gabriella. 

               Gabriella steps into the kid's face, her eyes still yellow.
               Her scowl only adds to the kid's fear.

               EXT. AUTO REPAIR SHOP - MOMENTS LATER

               Gabriella is pumping gas into her car. Behind her, in the
               rear of the car, Kaia finishing fastening her bra. She picks
               up her shirt and starts to put it back on.

               Gabriella opens her phone and reads a message from Connor:
               'Get to the radio station at CSU pronto!'

               INT. AUTO REPAIR SHOP - NEXT

               All of the carjackers are hovering in the air, their wrists
               bound to a hook and chain hanging from the car lifts.

               CLOSE UP on our hoodied friend. He's sporting a lovely BLACK
               EYE.

               EXT. KMZP RADIO STATION - NIGHT

               Connor and Pike reach the building. Lesi, being restrained
               with her leash by Connor, growls at the building.

               Connor ties Lesi's leash to a lamp post and looks to Pike.

               Pike pulls out one of his guns, the now familiar Buffy, and
               leads the way into the building.

               PAN UP to the edge of the rooftop. Ethan and Tracy watch
               Connor and Pike enter. Both frowning, they leave the rooftop. 

               INT. KMZP RADIO STATION - LOBBY - NEXT

               Better described as a hallway with hangers, Pike leads the
               way into the station. 

               Pike pulls another gun and holds it out to Connor. He waves
               it off. He's not a gun person.

               EXT. CITY STREET - NIGHT

               Gabriella's car races through the streets, going right
               through a few red lights and stop signs.

               CUT TO a side view. Kaia is driving.

               Stay on one corner as Gabriella's car whips by. A moment
               later, Gabriella, on Pike's bike stops at the stop sign Kaia
               just went through.

               INT. KMZP RADIO STATION - PRODUCTION BOOTH - NEXT

               Now Connor is leading the way, twirling a STAKE in his hands.

               Behind him, Pike is grabbed from behind, a rag clamping over
               his mouth. 

               Connor sniffs the air and turns around to see Pike's legs
               being dragged away. He runs out of the room.

               INT. KMZP RADIO STATION - HALLWAY - NEXT

               Connor turns to see Pike being dropped by one of Ethan's
               student, a pudgy guy with jet black hair.

               He kicks the kid right in the mouth, knocking him off Pike.

               Connor bends down to Pike and starts to help him up. His nose
               twitches and his hand shoots out behind him.

               PAN UP to see his arm holding a baseball bat, having stopped
               the swing from Tracy. He flings the bat aside, throwing Tracy
               into the wall with it.

               A loud sound, like HOWLING WIND is heard. Connor covers his
               ears. Tracy drops to her knees and also covers hers.

               It quickly subsides and the silence returns.

               Tracy slowly backs away. Connor stalks towards her. Tracy
               starts to smirk, her eyes fading to black. 

               She sidesteps just as Connor is flung down the hallway into
               the wall at the end, hitting it face first.

               She looks back to see Ethan and the rest of the group
               standing over a now unconscious Pike.

               She picks up her bat, walks over to Connor, and hits a
               homerun on his head, knocking him out.

               She looks to her comrades and teacher, smiling.
