( NIGHTCALL )

HOSPITAL
[ ☼ ]

Marin walks down the hallway. Sam comes to his doorway. "Marin. Marin, hey. Hold on. Um...I'm sorry I upset you." Sam says.

"It's okay." Marin says.

"Can I ask you something?" Asks Sam.

"About?"

"The fire." Sam says.

"Look. You mean well, but you have no idea—" Marin starts.

"You said you didn't start it. I believe you. I can help you, Marin, before he tries to hurt you again."

They go into Sam's room. Hallucifer is leaning against the wall. "You're worse. Your organs need sleep, you know. Your hair and nails are gonna fall out, and your kidneys are gonna shut down. I saw it in a movie. Sorry." Marin says and Hallucifer laughs.

"So, um, your brother—when did he pass?" Sam asks.

"Uh, last year."

"Do you see him?" Asks Sam and Marin shakes her head. "So... he just talks to you. I bet at first it wasn't so bad. You must have missed him. Did you just hear him at the house?"

"Here too. Whenever I'm alone. I can always tell he's coming because I get these chills." Marin says.

"You feel cold." Sam says.

"Yeah. I mean, you're right. At first it's like... I knew I was crazy, but... I didn't really care. I did miss him. But then... he started saying he was lonely. And he started to get mad." Marin says. "And one day he started yelling, and I tried to run but the door was locked. And when I turned around, the whole room was on fire. I barely got out. How can you help me?"

"I can put your brother to rest. He's, um... He's stuck here." Sam says.

"For real? Like—"

"Like he's a ghost." Says Sam.

"Why should I trust you?" Marin asks.

"Because it's your only shot." Sam says.

"Okay."

"Okay. So, your brother—was he cremated? Buried?" Sam asks.

"We cremated him."

"And do you have anything of his?" Sam asks.

Marin touches a bracelet she is wearing. "This. He made it for me. With a busted hand, too. Sliced it open doing stupid archery." She says.

"He bled on it?"

"Probably." Marin says.

"Good. That's – that's good." Sam says.

"Why is that good?" Marin asks.

"One more question. Is there any chance in hell you got a lighter?"
