The Blackcoat's Daughter Page #2

---

Bill, what're you doing ?

Just trying to help.

C'mon.

We'll take her to the next gas station.

I'm trying to help.

Call me later okay?

I don't have my phone.

So that's it?

Stop saying that.

What am I supposed to say?

Nothing.

I'll take care of it.

Can you at least let me drive you there?

No...no way

Careful, OK?

Careful...

Yeah, right.

Idiot!

Katherine?

It's Bill.

From the bus station.

Do you mind if I come in ?

Just wanted to see how you're doing.

I see you're up at least.

So...

I guess you're pretty zonked out there, huh?

You slept for four hours in the backseat.

I'm sorry.

For what?

First rule,

you don't apologise to me, young lady.

I'm happy to help, okay?

I'm sorry...

It's okay.

Why are you doing this?

Doing what ?

Helping me so much?

Do you believe in God, Joan?

No? Just like that?

Ever try to look for him?

It's strange.

People think you look for Him

in some book, or a church or

a statue

...maybe even a candle flame.

But that's not how it works for me.

I look for Him in the

unlikely things that happen.

Little concidences.

When I saw you sitting

at that bus station,

You reminded me so much

of someone...

someone I haven't seen

in a long time...

And then, when you said you were going to Portsmith...

Well...a coincidence like that

I just can't ignore it.

So strange as it may sound,

I guess I saw God in you.

Are you going to Portsmith too?

No, not exactly.

Linda and I are headed

to the town just before it...

We're going to Bramford.

Do you know Bramford?

What's that?

When do we leave?

What's your hurry?

Where's your wife ?

She's sleeping.

Why?

Well, hopefully we can...

...get out of here first thing

in the morning.

I, uh...bet you're pretty hungry.

There's a restaurant next door.

Why don't you get dressed,

come down and have some dinner.

You know how much trouble

I could get into for this?

Do you need a towel?

So what were you doing down there?

Were you sleepwalking?

Do you sleepwalk, is that

what that was?

What about your parents?

Did they call?

They're not going to call.

They just got confused.

Like your parents?

But your parents didn't get confused.

You told them not to come

so you could go out on a date.

- It wasn't a date.

- It wasn't?

- No, it wasn't.

- What was it?

Nothing.

Mr Gordon said you were

supposed to look after me.

I know what Mr Gordon said.

Mr Gordon said worst case they'd

be here by Friday.

- Yeah, I know what he said...

- And now it's too late.

Too late for what?

They're dead.

That is an awful thing to say.

You shouldn't say things like that.

You shouldn't say things like that,

okay? It's just not funny.

You smell pretty...
