The Unspoken Page #2

---

Mrs. Harris says you're

great with kids,

but just so you know,

Adrian isn't your typical

nine year old.

Sorry, I um...

I spent my entire life

hearing stories about this place

and I never thought

I'd be inside.

What kind of stories?

Oh, just...

Just silly stuff.

It doesn't matter.

No, really.

Come on.

I'd like to know.

When we bought the place

they said the bank had

locked out

the previous owners

for non-payment.

That makes sense, I'm sure

that's what must have happened.

That's not what everyone

really thinks happened.

People around here think

a lot of things,

but no one really knows.

Taking a break, are we now,

and it isn't even noon.

We can't all be like you,

portia.

This one speaks

the truth, don't she?

Portia, this is Angela,

she's going to be helping take

care of Adrian when she can.

It's very nice to meet you.

Likewise.

Maybe you'd like to do

the honours?

I understand it's his favourite.

Sure, thanks.

Come on.

Before we go in,

you should know...

My son stopped speaking

about two years ago,

right after my husband died.

It was like something inside him

died at the same time.

The doctors haven't been

much help

so I thought maybe getting

him out of the city

might be a good thing.

Sounds like the right move.

Yeah, move right into a house

my own handyman

is too scared to set foot into.

Maybe that's not such

a bad thing.

Maybe it's not.

Adrian?

He likes to hide.

Come out, come out,

wherever you are.

Adrian?

Are you in here?

Adrian?

We're gonna find you.

Adrian?

Adrian?

Adrian?

I'm going to find you.

Shoo, shoo!

Go!

Seems to have come

with the place.

Everything ok in here?

Adrian is hiding again.

Do you mind looking downstairs?

Yeah, of course.

I'll give her a hand.

Adrian?

Adrian?

You might not talk

to your mother

but you're sure as hell

gonna talk to me.

Now what is it that you want

with this place?

Talk to me, boy!

Mr. Walker!

I found Adrian, Mrs. Peterson!

Mrs. Peterson!

Oh my god, what happened?

I caught him trying to sneak

off into the forest over there.

He fell when I was chasing

after him.

Oh, Adrian.

What were you thinking?

You know you are never

supposed to leave the house.

Mrs. Peterson, I...

I'm sorry, Angela,

do you mind if we get

a fresh start tomorrow?

I think Adrian's had a little

too much excitement today.

We need to have us

a little talk.

So what did I tell ya?

These people aren't right

in the head.

Don't they know what happened

in that house?

Nobody knows what happened

in that house.

Yeah, well, the original owners

didn't just up and leave

on their own without taking

their car and their other crap.

I heard they buried the bodies
