Marsh watches as killwithme.com loads. The site’s home page

is empty, black. She waits. Nothing. Just as she is about

to close the window, creepy-cute theme music plays and an

oversized red emoticon struts out, smiling.

A red text banner crawls across the bottom of the screen:

Kill with me...Kill with me...Kill with me.... The emoticon

points to a blinking Command Button marked Enter. Marsh

clicks on it.

The page loads the video image of the kitten, caught in the

glue-trap.

intensity.

Now both front paws are stuck. Marsh’s eyes gain

EXT. TAMPA HOUSE -- SAME -- NIGHT.

Gray, still waiting, knocks again, louder. A DEPUTY runs

around from the back of the house, whispering urgently-

DEPUTY:

We’ve got movement in a back room!

GRAY:

That’s it, let’s breach.

(over his shoulder)

Gimme the ram!

INT. MARSH’S WORK STATION -- SAME -- RAINY NIGHT.

On her computer screen, behind the struggling kitten, Marsh

notices the TV set. Using her mouse, she screen-captures it,

then magnifies it. She can see what’s playing on the set:

Live cable news.

.

INT. TAMPA LIVING ROOM -- SAME -- NIGHT.

The door splinters. Amid a chaos of flashlight beams, Agents

and Officers pour in, guns drawn. Nobody. Empty. They hit

the overhead lights. A rear bedroom door is locked. Loud,

angry rap music blares from inside.

9.

AGENT:

(banging on it)

FBI! Open up!

(to Gray)

It’s a f***in’ bunker!

Gray nods. The two agents use the ram, splintering the door.

AGENT (cont’d)

ON THE FLOOR! GET ON THE FLOOR!

KEEP YOUR HANDS IN VIEW!

The agents point their guns and shine their lights in. In

the criss-cross of the beams, we catch barred windows, a wall

of merchandise still in its boxes, and a huge plasma TV

showing a frozen image from a terribly violent video game.

A SHADOWY MALE FIGURE, clutching a hard drive still connected

by a couple of cords to the computer, sinks to the floor.

Gray steps in with his flashlight.

INT. TAMPA BEDROOM -- CONTINUOUS -- NIGHT.

Gray’s face changes when he sees the suspect. He lifts his

cell phone and dials.

INT. MARSH’S WORK STATION -- SAME -- RAINY NIGHT.

Marsh, her face pained, studies the suffering kitten. Her

phone rings. She answers it with a computer click.

MARSH:

Jennifer Marsh. FBI Cyber Division.

GRAY (O.S.)

Paul Gray, FBI Tampa. We got ‘im.

Hard drive intact. Plenty of

contraband.

MARSH:

Good work. Let me guess, it’s a

teenager, right? Barrow’s got a

son?

INT. TAMPA BEDROOM -- SAME -- NIGHT.

Gray, speaking on the phone to Marsh, is amazed.

GRAY:

How’d you know that?

ANGLE ON AN ACNE-FACED BOY, 14, wearing pajamas, terrified,

crouched on the floor, being handcuffed in the beams of the

flashlights.
