Hide and Seek

Story
Rose: I can fight them.

Emily: We need you to be well.

Rose: I am! I’m fine.

Emily: Rose look at yourself (Pulls her shirt sleeve up) Look at this Rose! You are not okay.

Rose: They are just bite marks. They are nothing to me.

Emily: Rose! You are not well enough to be here or to be in any case.

Rose: I want to be here and I want to help people.

Emily: When you are well you can.

Rose: I am. They let me leave the hospital.

(At that moment Emily’s phone rings.)

Emily: Hello…(looks at her and she has a poker face)...she is…I will…thank you. Bye!

(Hangs up)

Emily: Rose? You lied to me. You weren’t released…you left!

Rose: I walked right out. They didn’t stop me.

Emily: You did your little “Get away” trick.

Rose: Did I?

Emily: Yes!

Rose: Fine I did.

Emily: Now you are going back and you’re not leaving unless I take you out. Got it!?

Rose: Yes, ma'am.

(As Emily walks her out the chief comes to them.)

Chief: Rose, your back?

(Rose went to speak but Emily took over.)

Emily: She did her little “Get away” trick to come back. She thinks it was okay to come back when she’s still unwell.

Chief: Oh, Rose. Your trouble.

Rose: I know I am.

(Emily took her to her car and made her get inside so she wouldn't get away. Emily got in the driver’s side and Rose sat in the passenger’s side. As they were driving Rose was so quiet and Emily grew concerned for her.)

Emily: Playing the quiet game?

(Rose didn’t answer.)

Emily: You can be mad at me all you want. I don’t care but soon you will have something to say.

(Rose just looked at her and still said nothing.)

Rose (thought): Well you can not care all you want. I don’t care about what you care about.

Emily: Why did you leave anyways?

Rose (thought): Because I want to work.

Emily: Rose, please answer me.

Rose (sighs): Because I want to help people and be here.

Emily: Is that it?

Rose:Pretty much.

Emily: I know you do but you are 10 years old and you need to be careful.

Rose: I’m careful.

Emily: Are you?

Rose: Yes?

Emily: You tased a man in the middle of the hospital.

Rose: So, he could have been a danger to the people that were there.

Emily: How about you?

Rose: To me and I’m being honest. I come last if other people are in danger.

Emily: That’s good to know.

Rose: Yep.

(As they pulled into the parking lot Rose got an angry look on her face as they got out.)

Emily: Lighten up.

Rose: Why don’t you.

Emily: Very funny.

(Emily had her right hand on her back as they walked inside. The nurse was waiting for them and went over to Rose.)

Nurse: It would have been better if you let me do my job.

Rose: Ok.

(The nurse guided Rose to a room to give her a quick check up to see if she was well enough to go home.)

Nurse: Do they hurt?

Rose: Been through worse.

Nurse: But does it hurt?

Rose: No?

Nurse: I think you may go home but you can’t go to work.

Rose: What?! I need to!

Nurse: You need a break.

Rose: I can’t! I need to serve and protect people!

Nurse: Just a couple weeks and then you may.

Rose: Weeks?! How about one week?

Nurse: Nope. Two weeks.

Rose: Fine.

(Rose jumped off the bed and went to Emily.)

Emily: So?

Rose: I have to take two weeks off of work.

Emily: Alright. Thank you!

Nurse: You’re welcome! Rose.

Rose: Yea.

Nurse: Take it easy and you’ll be working before you know it.

Rose (Smiling): Thanks. I will.

(Rose walked this time with permission and went to the car. But someone bumped into her.)

Rose: Hey, watch it!

Person: Sorry Rose.

Rose: How do you know me?

Person: Your name is on your shirt.

Rose: Oh. Sorry for the attitude…?

Person: Johnny.

Rose: Sorry Johnny.

Johnny: It’s okay.

Emily: Rose get in!

Rose: Okay! Coming! Bye Johnny.

(Rose got in the car and they drove off.)

Johnny: I will have you little Rose for what you have done.

(Johnny got in his car and drove right behind Emily’s car to get close to them.)

Rose: Where are we going?

Emily: Well, you are going home and I will go back to work.

Rose: Oh.

Emily: You’ll be fine with no work for a while.

Rose: I know but I might be bored.

Emily: Well, you like to watch youtube, tik tok, play video games, and many more things. So I think you’ll be fine. You won’t die of boredom.

Emily: I’m not going in but you need to.

Rose: Arlight, have fun at work.

Emily: Have fun with your days off.

Rose: I’ll try but not make any promises.

Emily: Very funny.

Rose: I know but it’s true.

(Rose walked to the front door and turned back to Emily. She watched as she pulled out and drove back to work.)

Rose: Home alone is the best!

(She ran into the house and jumped onto the couch.)

Rose:Yes, PG-13 movies are the best.

(She looked for the PG-13 movie that looked like fun.)

Rose: That looks like a good one.

(She laid there and was watching the movie. It was a gore, criminal, language, and violence movie she was watching.)

(After the movie)

Rose: That was a good one. I think I should watch…

 * BANG*

Rose: What was that?

(She got up off the couch and went to the Kitchen. There was a vase that happened to be broken on the floor. She looked around and saw muddy footprints around the house.)

Rose: Someone here!

(She ran down the hall and at the end she saw a man standing there.)

Man: Hello, Rose! Remember me?

(Rose didn’t answer and she ran down the hall and outside.)

Man: Come back here!

(Rose continued to run down the block and tried to hide from him.)

Man: Rose, it’s me Johnny! Come here!

(Rose ran into an ally and stopped running for a little while.)

Johnny: Come here! Rose, I just want to talk to you.

(Rose tried to be quiet but she was breathing heavily. She watched Johnny walk by her and he popped back up.)

Johnny: Found you!

(He reached and grabbed her by her shirt and walked with her.)

Rose: What do you want?

Johnny: I want you.

Rose: What did I do?

Johnny: You put Danny in prison.

Rose: So, he had too.

Johnny: YOU DID IT ROSE! YOU PUT HIM THERE!

Rose: Okay, chill out.

(He held her tighter and he was mad at Rose for what she had done to him.)

Johnny: You will pay for this Rose.

Rose: No, I won’t!

(Johnny walked her to his van and threw her inside and he jumped into the back with her.)

Rose: Stop it! Leave me alone!

Johnny: No!

(He grabbed some tape and put some on her mouth, hands, and feet.)

Johnny: This is much better.

(Johnny got out and slammed the door shut and got into the drivers side. He started to drive off and Rose hit her head on the side of the van as he took a left turn.)

Rose:UHG!

Johnny: QUIET BACK THERE!

Rose: I don’t need to be!

(He sped up and slammed on the brakes as she came forward and smashed her head again but this time it was on the seat in front of her. She said nothing for the rest of the ride.)

Johnny: Thank god! She’s quiet now. This will be easy.

(Johnny stopped at an old building. The history of the building was that it had once caught on fire and it’s very unstable.)

Johnny: Wake up little one. (taking off the tape from her mouth)

Rose (slowly opening her eyes): Where are we?

Johnny: At your death place.

Rose: What’s that?

Johnny: The place that you are going to die at.

(Johnny picked her up and took her inside. He had her over his shoulder with her head hanging down with her face against his back.)

Rose: I want to go to Mars.

(Johnny listened to her and she had no sense. He had no clue what she was talking about.)

Johnny: What did you say?

Rose: I want to go to Mars.

Johnny: You make no sense.

Rose: You don’t either.

Johnny: Shut up.

(Johnny opened a door where there was a huge cage that was big enough that she could stand up in. It was eight feet tall and six feet long. He took her to it and set her down inside. He took the rest of the tape off her so she could move inside a little bit. He laid her down on her right side, so she could watch him leave her. She watched him as he walked away slowly like he didn’t want to leave her behind.)

Rose (thought): Where is he going?

(Johnny finally left the room and shut the door behind him. Rose was now all alone in a cage with no way out.)

Rose: Help me. Emily! I’m sorry for my attitude and everything I did.

(Scene Change)

(Emily was done with work and was on her way home. She was pulling into the driveway and was getting ready to go inside. She walked to the steps and she noticed that the door was open and unlocked. She pulled out her hand gun and walked into her house. She walked quietly through the house and nobody was inside. She saw that there was a PG-13 movie on TV that was finished and there was a blanket, pillow, and the remote was next to the couch. She looked everywhere and she couldn’t find Rose anywhere so she called her.)

* Ring ring…Ring ring*

(Emily looked on the couch and Rose’s phone was under the blanket.)

Emily: Oh-no! Why would Rose leave her phone here? I told her to always have it on her.

(Emily walked around some more and still couldn’t find her. She went back outside to look for her.)

Emily: Rose! Where are you? Rose!

???: Emily, what are you doing?

Emily: Hey, Mrs. Bars. I’m looking for Rose. Have you seen her?

Mrs. Bars: Sadly I haven’t. Last I saw her, she was with you.

Emily: Thank you for the information. If you see or hear anything please call me.

Mrs. Bars: I will. Hope you find her.

Emily: Thank you.

(Emily got in her car and drove off around the neighborhood to find her. She want right back to the office and asked the chief if she came back.)

Chief: Sorry, Emily, she hasn’t come back.

Emily: I need help to find her.

(At that moment Derek was walking by and heard everything.)

Derek: Rose is missing?

Emily: I looked everywhere at home and she was nowhere to be found.

Derek: We must find her she is want by other people and it's not a good thing.

(Emily Derek ran out the door and went into their cars. Emily started to freak out because it was all her fault that her daughter was taken. And Derek was just trying to keep her calm so she wouldn't lose her marbles.)

Derek:Emily, calm down. It's not your fault she was taken. You couldn't have predicted that it would happen. Don't be yourself up.

Emily:It is my fault I left her home alone. I should have left her there I should have bought her with us. Why did I do that?

Derek: Babe, like I said it's not your fault It was the guy that took her or woman that took her. I'm serious babe Don't be yourself up.

Emily:Listen, if I didn't leave her home alone she wouldn't be missing so technically it's my fault she's gone and she can be in great danger. She's a very wanted girl from many various things that she has done. She put a man in jail tased him in a hospital and she was warned that they would get her revenge.

Derek:I did not know she was born. It's probably just another one of those stupid guys that are always like oh you're such a dumb kind of girl kind of a thing". No worries we'll find her inside She's a tough girl She'll hold on for dear life.

Emily:To be honest she wanted to give up the last time we found her. So I really wonder Well she hold on for dear life or else I'll just lay down and die?

Derek: Don't say that She will fight we know it. She will fight and she will come home. What does she want anyways?

Emily: She wanted to go back to work and I told her no and the nurse told her no.

Derek: She got all mad at you because you and a nurse told her no? Like I said tough girl doesn't take no for an answer That's why I like about her.

(Scene Change)

(Rose laid there for a few hours before Johnny came back with a handful of things. He dropped them on the floor and looked to her. Then went to take her out and put her in a chair. He tied her up by her hands and feet so she couldn't get away.)

Johnny: I'm going to break you.

Rose (serious): What are you going to do to me?

Johnny: I'm going to change your mind.

Rose: You can't do that. It's my thoughts and my mind.

Johnny: I can change your mind.

(He pulled out a gun and one ammo. He put the ammo in his revolver and he spun it.)

Johnny: You are my daughter and your name is Jane. What's your name?

Rose: My name is Rose you idiot.

Johnny: Wrong Answer!

(He had the gun pointed at her heart. He pulled the trigger and nothing happened.)

Johnny: You got luck! Now what's your name?

Rose: My name is Rose.

Johnny: Nope.

(He pulled the trigger and nothing happened again.)

Johnny: Two out of five. Three more tries and you might die.

Rose: Yea, right!

Johnny: Name?

Rose: I'm done with this game!

Johnny: Not your name!

(Pulled the trigger and a bullet went into her chest.)

Johnny: Bullseye!

Rose: Is that the best you can do? (trying to keep her head up)

Johnny: This is only the beginning. (picking up her head)

Rose: Go to hell!

Johnny: No. thank...you are! Hahaha!

(He went to the pile of object he brought and picked up a bat.)

Johnny: You see this?

Rose: Yea, I'm not blind.

Johnny: We are going to play ball.

(Rose looked at him with confusion as he came back over to her. He stood right in front of her and swung the bat. It hit her right in the right side of her face.)

Johnny: Did I tell you that you're the ball?

Rose: You idiot! I can't be broken!

Johnny: Everyone can be...even you!

(He swung the bat at her again as she clenched her teeth and held her breath.)

Johnny: I will win!

(Scene Change)

(Emily and Derek went back home and looked around to see if there was something Emily missed. Emily walked around with Derek to find any signs of Rose and where she might have gone.)

Emily: There was a PG-13 movie on the TV and the movie was finished. She laid down on the couch as she heard a sound.

Derek: The unsub came in through this window where the glass is. The unsub came inside and went down the hall.

Emily: Rose heard the sound and went to check it out. She walked this way and she saw him at the end of this hall. She saw him and went back down the hall.

Derek: She ran outside and left the door open as she was in a hurry. But where did she go if she wasn't see by Mrs. Bars?

Derek: Maybe she hid and got found by the unsub?

Emily: Maybe. (Derek walks down the road) Where are you going?

Derek: Done the road.

Emily: I'll go the other way.

(They went up and down the road.)

Emily: Anything?

Derek: Tire tracks down the road in the direction I went.

Emily: That might be how he got away but not seen. He had the car away from the house and knew she would run.

Derek: That's got to be how.

(Scene Change)

Rose: You're going to give up soon.

(He made her try to fight him but her side was hurting her so she starting to get weak. He beat her up to the extent that she wouldn't stand up.)

Johnny: You will give up first.

Rose: No, I won't.

Johnny: You sure? (swung the bat at her leg and she fell to the floor.)

Rose: (moaning) I'm sure.

Johnny: I'm not. (kicked her in the stomach)

Rose: (hold her stomach) I...will...win...and I-

???: This is the FBI! We're coming in!

Johnny: Oh-no!

Rose: (Moaning and groaning) I win.

(He looked at her before knocking her out and fleeing the scene.)

Rose: Over...here!

???: Rose, we're coming!

(With in minutes Rose was surrounded by agents, mostly ones she knew.)

Emily: Rose, are you okay?

Rose: ( trying to stand up) I...want to...get that man before-

Derek: You need to calm down.

Rose: He is being charged with abuse, assault, assault to officers, and I want to get him back.

Emily: Let's get you home.

Rose: (groans)

(Derek drove me home in the silent ride. I said nothing, did nothing, looking at nothing. After a while I looked to my father as he was driving.)

Derek: What's on you mind?

Rose: I remember having a brother, Dillen, and I don't know what happened to him.

Derek: We'll find this kid, Dillen, and we need to find the man-

Rose: Johnny.

Derek:Okay, Johnny, before he goes under.

Rose: Alright, go that way. (pointing to the left)

Derek: Okay. (turns to the left)

(Rose didn't wait for the car to be in park before she leaped out of the car.)

Derek:Rose! Wait!

Rose: (running) I have to get this jerk!

Derek: Wait for backup!

(Rose didn't listen and ran into the building with her gun in her hand. Walking around and pointing the gun around each corner she found him.)

Rose: Put your hands up where I can see them! Now!

Jonny: Fine you win. (raising his hands up slowly into the air)

Derek: You have the rights to remain silent anything you say will and maybe held against you in the court of law.

Johnny: We will win! We have Dillen!

(Jonny yelled before Derek took him out to the car.)

Rose: Not for long.
