(Tweaking her hair because of frustration and stop for a minute) But wait… George has pattern! Giving pens is his pattern before he take their lives, it is the 7th pen and it is the day he’ll kill her! (She run through their backyard) Officer! We should leave before Geor--- oh my god)… (Stepping back a few times in look of widening her eyes while covering her mouth) Officer: Help me… (Coughing so bad while holding his stabbed chest) he’s... in there...

(Looking at them with assurance and fear but in teary eyes) Let’s see… George: Be ready my sweetie Flora! (Says it in a sing-song way while banging the door loudly and trying to break in) (Emily walk fast towards the window and forcefully detached the curtain) Emily: Listen to me Caleb...

Caleb: I’m sorry… (Looking at Emily with teary eyes as she help him go down through the window) Emily: (Smiles at him and nod, and look down for Caleb who’s untying up the curtain) Hey there my little girl… (With a smile and teary eyes while pulling up the curtain very fast and looking back and forth to the door and Flora) You’ll be safe again and I will protect you no matter what because I love you my baby (Sniffing while tying the curtain on Flora’s waist and kissed her forehead) Flora: (stop for a minute from crying and nod at her) I love you, Mom and I’m sorry! (She hugged Emily so tight before she let her down safely) George: (kicked the door forcefully and the door threw open) Oh I’m late for the dramatic scene (he said in a fake sad tone and laugh) Emily: Go run, Kids!!! (Shouting at the top of her lungs with tears pooling in her eyes) Caleb: HELP! HELP! WE NEED HELP! (Shouting and running as he holds Flora’s hands tightly) Flora: STOP MR. OFFICER! WE NEED YOUR HELP! (Waving her hands at the incoming police car while crying and shouting) Chief Booth: (immediately stopped their mobile and jog towards the 2 kids) are you two okay? Where is your mother?! (In an alarmed and confused look and tone) Caleb: My mom is in there with George in Flora’s room! We need to help her now! (Crying in fear) Chief Booth: Let’s get in men! Call for dispatch, Code 99 and Code 10-13! (Chief Booth and His 3 men rushed in the house and run through Flora’s room) Emily: How dare you to touch my daughter, you’re a living devil!!!! (Shouting and throw a vase at George’s Face and kick him in his groin. She will run through the door) George: (Grunted and hold his face that has a lot of blood now and towards the door, forcefully grab Emily’s hair and arms) you’ll not escape from me, you witch! Emily: (trying unclasp the arms of George and trying to kick him from the back) you’ll rot in hell, George!! George: We’ll both rot in hell, Emily!!

(Looking at Emily in a worry eyes) Emily: (Staring from nowhere, shaking and stopping the bleeding) (Will focus at Emily at that scene and everything will black out for a moment) SCENE 12 Simon: (Went down scared and panicky in his car) Good evening! Uhm do you have a patient name Emily Willia—(asking nervously with tears in his eyes) Chief Booth: (Cutting him off) Hello Mr. Anderson? Simon Anderson? I know what room your fami-Simon: (walk towards him) Yes, It’s me! Where’s my family? What happened? Where’s my wife, Emily? Chief Booth: Calm down, Mr. Anderson, this way please... (Lead him in the right hallway and knock at the 2nd room) Simon: Oh God… (He walk towards Caleb and Flora and kissed them on their foreheads) Thank God, both of you are safe! ... (Stares at Emily who’s resting) My wife… (Sniffing) What happened to my wife Chief? Who did this to her?! (Asking it with full of sadness and hands in fist) Chief Booth: In this day, the one that your wife hired to be the tutor of you children, George, tried to murder your daughter, Flora. He’s also the suspect we’ve been looking after all these years, “the pen case” actually, but your wife puzzled things out because she’s also investigating and researching this case for her book. Instead of Flora, Emily became his target since she tried to stop and save your daughter from him. And the rest is all this. (Look at Emily and at the 2 kids) George was shot at the head and knee in the incident a while ago, he tried to stab Emily again. We will take care of the rest, Mr. Anderson. Simon: Thank you for taking care and for saving my family especially to my wife, Chief (Smiled genuinely and tap Chief Booth’s back) Chief Booth: You’re always welcome, Mr. Anderson and it is our duty also to take care of the safety of each here in our town. I’ll just wrap things up in the incident and also I would like to do some briefing with your wife in this case once we take care everything on this day and when she’s in a state and good condition again. Simon: I’ll catch that thing up at her, I will. (Smiled and in a thankful tone) Chief Booth: I excuse myself for a while to go to the incident, just call us right away and stay safe with your family, Mr. Anderson (Smiled genuinely and walk towards the door to exit) (Simon will carry Flora and let her sit on his lap and sit beside Caleb) Caleb: (Staring at Emily while holding her hand) Mommy is strong right? She will heal very soon right! I’ll catch things up at her after all what she have done for us, for me… (Sobbing so hard while his head bowed at Emily’s hand) Flora: I don’t want to lose a mommy again, Dad! I love mommy Emily! (Crying so hard while hugging Simon) Simon: (rubbed Caleb’s back and hug Flora while tears pooling in his eyes) She’ll heal and be okay soonest, we will take care of her more. We’ll pray also to God that she’ll stay strong for us. Let’s keep or faith stronger this time. (After 5 months of the incident) Caleb: Mom did you see where my toys are? (Looking at the boxes in his room, his forehead creased) Emily: I already put them in the box and it’s also in the car already, honey! Don’t worry about it (Chuckled while helping Flora to put her stuffs in the box) Flora: He always think and care of his toys, not his studies at school nor me! (Pouting) Emily: (laugh at her and pinch her cheeks) He do care for his studies especially to you, my sweetie! He’s just shy to show and let it feel to you okay? Your brother loves you more than anything in this world. Flora: (Smiled at her and hugged her tightly) I love you, Mom! (Kissed her in the cheeks) Emily: (Hugged her back) I love you more than anything in this world too! (She tickled flora) Flora: Stop it, Mom! It tickles me so much (laughing very hard) Simon: Hey! You didn’t called us for tickle fight! Both of you are unfair, hmph! (Throwing fake tantrums while pouting lying at the side of the door) Caleb: Yeah! You don’t love us anymore? (Copying what Simon did) Flora: Let’s tickle them mommy! (Pointing Simon and Caleb) Emily: My pleasure to do it, baby (Smiled at her) Flora and Emily: (laughing very hard) here we come! (Tickled each other and laughing very hard) Simon: Okay… okay… I’m tired, stop with the tickles… (Saying it tiredly while smiling and holding his stomach) Emily: Stop it right now, kids… one of you might get injured or something, be careful… (Saying in a serious tone but with a smile in her face) (Caleb just chase Flora out of her room and both will laugh) Simon: (Hugged Emily from behind) Hey there gorgeous! (In a sexy but funny tone) Emily: (will laugh and pat Simon’s hand jokingly) Hey handsome! (A moment of silence; Simon rubbing Emily’s stomach by his thumb and kissed her at her temple) Simon: I have decided to… uhm… send them both in school again (he hugged her tightly but comfortably while saying this) Emily: In the next town we’ll live in? It’s okay for me, it’s been a while since they go to an actual school… (Hold Simon’s hand to assure him) Simon: How are you today? You good? Something you wanted to open up some things? What is it? Hmmm Emily: Nothing to worry about, taking some steps to move on thoroughly from what happened a few months ago. (Unclasp Simon’s hand at her stomach to face and stare at him) Right now, I’m excited to move in another town and I’m also happy to see us as a family especially Caleb and Flora calling me Mom and do accept me wholeheartedly (smiling with tears in her eyes) Simon: (Wipe her tears by his thumb and caress her face) we will pass through everything sooner or later, it just takes time. Those time will be a roller coaster for us, and I wholeheartedly accept to be with you in every ride of it, also with Caleb and Flora. I love you more than you could’ve ever imagine, Emily. Always remember that. (Kissed her on the forehead and hugged her tight) Emily: I love you more than you could’ve ever imagine too, Simon. (Shut her eyes and find comfort in it) Caleb and Flora: Yey! Groupie hug! (Run towards to them while laughing and hugged them tight) Simon: Okay, is everyone ready? Let’s put these boxes on the trunk, we’ll leave right away after we put these in it. (Chuckling) Caleb, Flora and Emily: We’re ready! Roadtrip! Roadtrip! Roadtrip! (Chanting while laughing) THE END
