Cold Comes the Night Page #2

---

You wanna sit here and say, "No, forget

it. It couldn't happen." And then...

it happens.

That's some non-fiction

right there, you know?

I just saw Gwen this morning.

Mm. Hey, how's Sophia doing?

Is she okay?

Denise got her.

She didn't see anything, thank God.

That's great. Good.

Oh, no, no.

Floyd, sh*t for brains, the Jeep.

The Jeep.

F***ing idiot.

I'm sorry. What?

Billy, we have to stop letting

the girls use the rooms.

Yeah, I mean, you know, it's not like

this is ever gonna happen again, Chlo.

I mean...

Besides, you're not the only one

who relies on that cash.

I had a woman in from

social services today.

She told me I got two weeks

to get out of my place.

If she hears about this,

then Sophia's gone tomorrow.

Two weeks?

Hey.

It doesn't matter.

Okay? Because you and I, we're

gonna get through this. Together.

I'm gonna help you, okay?

You and me, just like after Vincent

died. I'm gonna be there for you.

Okay?

Yeah? Billy.

We have to stop letting the

girls use the rooms.

Okay. Okay. Yeah.

Thank you.

John Doe and

the girl were DOA.

Anyone else there?

As far as we can tell,

he was traveling alone.

Sophia?

I thought everybody had gone.

Ah... Yes, but I believe

these are yours, yes?

You could have left them

in the room, but thank you.

Yes, well, uh, sorry,

but with all the confusion...

Oh. Okay, I see.

Okay, one second, please.

Thank you.

Aah! Unh.

Make no sound.

Open this door. Open it!

There's a hundred bucks in the

register, have whatever you want.

Quiet. Where is cell phone?

I don't have... I don't have it.

Do not lie to me again.

Okay.

Who else live here?

Just me and my daughter.

Where is she?

She's with a friend, they're

coming back here any minute.

The Jeep that was here last night,

where did they take it?

What Jeep?

The man who was killed by the whore.

The police towed his car.

Where did they take it?

- Do you feel that?

- Mom!

Hm?

Give me your keys.

You let the little girl

and only the little girl in.

Mommy!

Or I shoot everyone dead.

Okay.

Okay.

Mom, Mom, the puppy

slept in the bed with me.

Oh. Was it cozy?

Yeah.

They're friends for

life, I'm sure of that.

And, hey, how you feeling, hon?

I'm okay. Denise, can you do me

a huge favor? Could you take her

- for a couple more hours?

- No, Mom. Please.

Come on.

Listen, I'm sorry, I...

I got a...

I got a double shift in an hour.

Then I got Randall coming over as he does

with about the frequency of a comet.

Denise...

Never mind.

Any other day.

You know I'm good for it.

Get the key.

Ah. You look after your mom, okay?

- Bye.

- Bye.

Okay, baby, you go upstairs and watch

TV while I talk to this man, okay?
