Runshand through his hair, moving towards the bracelet as though in atrance, reaching out to touch it briefly. Then searches her roomfrantically for something, anything that could be a clue as to what'sreally happened. Searching through one of her desk drawers aftersearching almost everywhere else and finding nothing, he slams hishands down angrily on the desk, and a false bottom in the drawer popsup, revealing a leather bound note book. He stares at it, thencarefully pulls it out, opening it to the middle where a piece ofpaper floats down to the ground with his sisters writing on it.

Hebends down and picks it up off the ground, camera gradually zoomingin on the message there:'Harry: THEY ARE COMING'.


OFFICER– Sittingin office with other lieutenants listening to one lieutenant finishexplaining his results in the search for Isobella Whatdo you make of the brother?

LIEUTENANT– Sir?

OFFICER– Harry *insertlast name*.Chucksfile he was looking at onto the table, Harry's face prominent on thefront page Camein at 14:30 hours today with his parents for an interview on theinvestigation. Refused to give us any information that would help theinvestigation and prevented his mother from sharing what may havebeen valuable information. He came across purely as someonestruggling to deal with the loss of a loved one, but he evaded anydirect questions as to do with his influence on his sister.

LIEUTENANT– So you're saying-

OFFICER– I think that boy may know something Lieutenant. Lieutenantgives curt nod Getme all the information you can find on Harry *insertlast name*and report back to me as soon as you have something, anythingyou think might coincide with him having information on his sister,and get it to me as soon as possible.

Lieutenantnods again and turns to leave.

OFFICER– Actually, make that 12 tomorrow: I need all the goddamn leads Ican get!


Sceneenters on schoolgrounds, bell ringing for end of class. Harry exitsschoolroom in a hurry, slinging bag over his shoulder and exitingschoolgrounds. Shows him looking around quickly, then sitting at abench in the park a few blocks from school, pulling out Isobella'snotebook and pouring over it.

Init are scrawled words in her cursive hand, maps with differentlocations circled in red and blurry photos of strangers faces stuckon blank pages with lines connecting them all, as well as signs andsymbols that make no real sense but seem to hold some sort ofrelevance to the overall meaning of the works.

Harryskims it all, but freezes when he reaches one face. Camera zooms inon the somewhat familiar face, and a flashback to one of the ambulantpeople loading Isobella's 'body' into the ambulance.
The exactface on the page from Isobella's notebook.

VOICE– What'cha doing?

HARRY– Jumpingout of his skin and whirling around, slamming the notebook shutJason!What the hell are you creeping around like a stalker for!? Isobella'sbest friend Jason looks at him incredulously.

JASON– Actually, I'm pretty sure I have a tendency to walk like anelephant, or so I've been told, and judging by the dirty lookscouple's I passed were giving me when I woke their babies, I get thefeeling that may not be far from the mark. Except I guess old ladieslike you don't hear as well as newborns.

HARRY– You're only two years younger than me.

JASON– Point proven. Anyway, I came to ask where Bells was today? Shedidn't show up all day and none of the teacher's mentioned it, so, Ithought I'd ask the next closest person to her besides myself. Harryfreezes, his mind working overtime to figure out what to say. Imean, she is okay, isn't she? Jason looks slightly worriednow, and Harry seems to soften a little at his concern.
