FADE IN:

EXT. CITY - NIGHT

On a dark stormy night a lone man in a trench coat, but no umbrella, walks down the street. Christian, male, late 20's, average build seems to enjoy the rain hitting his face.

A silhouette of a THIN MAN in the distance bathed in street light makes him look angelic.

Christian pauses at the image.

The thin man walks up to Christian.

Christian steps back in horror.

A loud BANG disrupts their conversation.

The thin man drops to the ground in front of him.

Christian bends down to check the thin man out, he's dead.

He searches the body and to his surprise he finds a small handgun. Christian frantically swings it around searching for the gunman, but the street is bare.

A POLICE SIREN screams in the distance. Christian drops the gun and starts to run.

The rain pounds on his face. He abruptly stops and runs back. The thin man's body is gone, but the gun is still there.

Christian takes no time to pick up the gun, sticks it in his coat, and continues to run away.

He turns the corner and finds a children's playground across the street. A RUSTY SQUEAKING NOISE forces Christian to cringe.

He reaches inside his coat.

He looks around again for the gunman. No one is in sight. He turns back to search the ground for his gun.

The RUSTY SQUEAKING becomes louder. Christian hears a voice in the distance.

Christian turns to notice some kind of movement going on at the playground.

He looks both ways before he crosses the street.

As he moves closer he realizes that there is a SMALL GIRL, soaked dress, dirty shoes, playing on a rusty swing set.

The small girl GIGGLES as she seems to be enjoying the rain.

Christian walks up to the little girl who continues to sway back and forth.

Christian stumbles back.

A POLICE SIREN invades their conversation.

Christian cowers behind a tree near the swing set.

The POLICE SIREN fades away.

Christian cautiously scans the area before he approaches the girl again.

Small girl lifts up her dress.

The small girl takes out a handgun the was under her dress and points it at Christian.

Christian ducks for cover.

She tries to aim the gun at
Christian.

She pulls the trigger and CLICK. Christian jumps. Nothing happens, the gun was not loaded.

Christian looks like he's about to say something, but decides to turn around, he runs away.

He can clearly hears the RUSTY SQUEAKING NOISE of the swing and then BANG. Everything returns to silence except for the pounding rain that punishes Christian's face.

Christian carefully looks back. And then the sound of a POLICE SIREN startles poor Christian again.

He runs like a mad man. In the distance he sees a neon sign:

"Town Castle Hotel"

INT. TOWN CASTLE HOTEL - LOBBY - MOMENTS LATER

The first thing Christian notices is a blood trail that leads to an elevator with doors painted black. The only other person in the room is an ATTENDANT, male, 50's, black suit, glasses, sits behind the desk.

The attendant ignores him.

The attendant is motionless.

He tries to reach for the Attendant, but the man collapses before Christian. Blood pours out behind his head and onto the counter.

DING, the sound of the elevator alerts Christian.

The black doors slide open. A DARK WOMAN, leather pants and jacket, hat with a veil hiding her face.

Christian makes his way to the exit.

Christian struggles to get the door open, but it won't budge.

POLICE SIRENS scream outside. The rain patters against the door.

Dark Woman places a hand on Christian's shoulder.

He SCREAMS in horror.

Her hand makes it's way around his neck.

Dark Woman pulls out a gun with the other hand and places the nozzle on top of his cranium.

The POLICE SIRENS wail from outside.

The door bursts open. Police men storm in with guns leading them like metal detectors.

Christian continues to scream as he competes with the POLICE SIRENS.

All the cops point their guns at Christian who is cowering on the ground.

Dark Woman and Attendant is no where in sight. Only Christian and a trail of blood remains in the lobby.

The police scatter and search the area.

A COP does a body search and finds a gun in his trench coat.
