Look The Other Way
EXT. 36122 LINDELL – EARLY MORNING
The officers make their way up the steps towards the door. Officer Bush knocks on the door of the well-kept bungalow.
No answer. Officer Bush tries again. As he knocks, the door opens to reveal MEGAN O’DONNELL, 23, hazel-eyed blonde, of multinational European ancestry. She had been crying, uglying her otherwise pretty face. Lieutenant Murphy immediately goes to put his hand on her right shoulder. She recoils.
LT. MURPHY
Megan, are you okay?
She does not respond.
OFFICER BUSH
Where’s Chris?
The two officers penetrate the house. Megan does not invite them, but she does not stop them.
LT.MURPHY
Don’t worry, honey, it’ll be alright.
INT. 36122 LINDELL – EARLY MORNING
The officers tiptoe through the vestibule into the living room where on a beautiful blue couch a naked young adult MALE FIGURE lay sideways with his back towards us.
Officer Bush makes his way to the body.
OFFICER BUSH
Chris! Chris! Chris, wake up!
He grabs the figure’s shoulder and Officer Bush’s eyes widen at the passed-out man’s face.
OFFICER BUSH (CONT’D)
Oh, geezzz. Frank, we have a problem.
LT.MURPHY
Don’t worry, give him a minute, he’ll wake up.
OFFICE BUSH
No, that’s not what I mean.
Megan sheds tears. She glimpses Lieutenant Murphy. Slowly, she backs up.
