MOSES (CONT’D)

Shiiit! There’s something in...

He’s interrupted by a startling SHRIEK from behind. He

turns just as -- something JUMPS OUT AT HIM!

The following happens too FAST to see much detail:

A CREATURE, the size of a small child, skinny and pale.

Razor sharp jet-black TEETH flash!

A furious STRUGGLE. Claws SWIPE! Three bloody stripes

are SLASHED across MOSES’ cheek. Everyone YELLS.

MOSES’ KNIFE FLASHES in the air as he STABS at the

CREATURE’S flank! It emits an ear-piercing SHRIEK!

It wraps itself around MOSES, who falls backwards to

the ground.

MOSES grabs it and FLINGS it away!

It rolls, scuttles across the pavement, then LOLLOPS

into the gloom. MOSES climbs to his feet. Fury boils in

his eyes as the others fuss around him.

YOUTH 5

What the f*** was that?

YOUTH 4

Some orangutan type thing, I’m

not even lyin’ bruv!

YOUTH 2

Looked like Dobby the house elf.

YOUTH 3

Ha! Moses got shanked by Dobby!

The others laugh as MOSES wipes the blood from his

steely serious face.

MOSES:

I’m chasin’ that down. I’m

killin’ that. Watch.

10 EXT. GREEN SPACE - MOMENTS LATER 10

The GANG races across patchily floodlit GRASS. MOSES

and YOUTH 4 are on BIKES, the rest on FOOT.

YOUTH 2

Payback fam!

YOUTH 3

I’m proper stampin’ that!

YOUTH 5

It’s gone in adventure!

YOUTH 4

Round two bruv! Round two!

Ahead, the CREATURE, just visible, scuttling towards

the ragged structures of an ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND.

EXT. ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND - MOMENTS LATER

Just visible through the slats of a small WOODEN HUT,

the CREATURE, scuttling around inside.

The GANG arrive, on bike and foot, grabbing STICKS and

BRICKS from the grass. MOSES leads them forward.

MOSES:

Pest, got them bangers?

PEST lights a clump of bangers. The flame affords us a

look at his face; pale, gaunt and grinning crazily.

PEST:

Yeah! Bang that thing out!

He THROWS the BANGERS inside the SHELTER. BANG! BANG!

BANG! FLASHES illuminate the CREATURE. It SHRIEKS,

terrorised, barely glimpsed.

MOSES:

It’s mine.

MOSES heads inside. The GANG follow. But we don’t. All

we see is the lonely SHELTER.

From inside, we hear the sound of the GANG KICKING the

CREATURE to death. Then, SILENCE.

The GANG emerge into the open, silhouetted.

MOSES holds a stick. Dangling from it, by the mouth, a

freakish CARCASS.

They gather round, pulling out their MOBILE PHONES to

illuminate its body weakly in the gloom.
