Cold Comes the Night Page #3

---

Who are you?

I am friend of your mother's.

Upstairs, now.

I ask once last time.

Where would police take Jeep?

If I find out,

will you go?

You will get me that Jeep, or I will

put bullet in your little girl's ear.

Hey, Rodney, it's Billy.

Okay, so look, I got a '95

white Jeep Cherokee.

Yeah.

Uh... Seventy-eight thousand miles,

give or take. And look...

Uh, sorry. Uh, look, man,

it's gonna be the same deal.

Okay. Wait two weeks,

things calm down,

they'll think it's

going to the heap.

I can't do anything less

than 1300 on this one.

Okay. But hey, man, look,

there's no radio.

I think somebody picked it

before we got to it, so...

Billy, it's Chloe again.

Will you please call me back?

Thank you.

He will call me back.

And he'll get the car to you

clean and easy, I swear it.

Where does this Billy live?

Ah. Little girl...

you have jacket?

Of course. Everyone has a jacket.

Of course. Please go get yours. Huh?

We are all going for drive.

Now, follow me.

Mommy.

You okay back there, baby?

Can't we play I Spy?

We can play later,

I promise, okay? I promise.

Fine.

I spy with my little eye,

something white.

Here he is.

Go.

You won't hurt her?

That depend on you.

When you come back to car,

you come back alone.

And if it's Stephanie,

tell her to shut up

- about the goddamn...

- All right. Jesus. Relax.

The f*** are you doing here?

I need to talk to Billy.

What the f*** do you need

to talk to Billy for, huh, Chlo?

You two don't get enough

of each other at that motel?

And whatever it is

the f*** you do all day.

Chlo?

I need to talk to you.

So talk.

Amber, inside.

I'm not going anywhere.

Shut up and take this.

You a**hole.

And pause it.

You can f***ing rewind it.

What the f*** are you doing here?

The Jeep. The Cherokee.

One you picked up last night?

I know a guy who wants to buy it.

It's a good price. I'll take a

little cut. I need the cash, Billy.

What are you talking about?

We know about your deal with Rodney.

The guy doesn't just want the parts.

It's evidence in an investigation.

I can't give that to you.

Since when do you care?

It's evidence.

Soon it'll be paperwork,

then it'll be a cube of garbage.

Sound like you're on the television.

Whatever. I can't help you.

So why don't you just...? Just

get out, Chlo. You've done enough.

Maybe I'll just talk to

your chief about it then.

About what?

Maybe he wants to hear about your bait

and switch... Get your hands off me!

Goddamn it, Chloe.

You gotta be more careful.

What did he say?

He said no.

Do you see it?

There's a chain-link fence

and police everywhere.

Find a way.

It's blocked in.

I did not need to move it.
