Firestarter 2: Rekindled Page #5

She burnt up more people.

No. No, not quite.

Well, do you give up?

Do you want me to tell you?

No.

Hey, stop it, you two. Just stop it.

Well...

Charlie and her daddy ran away.

They went someplace

where nobody knew them.

Charlie was very lonely.

Then a big bird saw her

from way, way up in the sky.

And it swooped down

and grabbed her with its golden claws.

It took her to a... magic castle.

And in the castle

there were toys and games and friends.

But Charlie didn't want to play.

- No.

- Why not, Charlie?

My daddy told me not to.

And since Charlie wouldn't play,

nobody liked her.

Charlie was all alone.

(quiet sobs)

There you are.

- Don't cry.

- Why not?

Because they can see you. You don't

want them to see you crying, do you?

I don't care.

Do you know what they're gonna do?

I hope they kill me.

No, you don't.

Yes, I do. It's my fault Mommy's gone

and Daddy's gone.

Because I'm bad.

Look at me. Look at me.

You are not bad.

You're a very beautiful girl,

with a very special gift.

A great gift.

They're dead because of me.

Your daddy's not dead.

He's here, in a cell, like you.

Yeah. I could take him

a message, if you want.

- How?

- I take him his food.

Why would you help me?

Well, I... I don't have that many friends.

I mean, everybody should have

at least one great friend, right?

Besides... I know

how you can help your daddy.

Just give 'em what they want.

- No, Daddy said...

- Listen to me.

You give them what they want -

just a little -

make them really need you,

then you get what you want.

- My daddy?

- That's right.

It's up to you.

What's your name?

John.

John... tell my dad I'm OK.

Tell him I love him.

OK, Charlie. I'll tell him.

You've got an intuitive grasp

of child psychology.

It doesn't matter whether

she cooperates or not.

She's far too dangerous.

She ought to be eliminated.

Nobody kills that girl but me.

- Mary Conant?

- (woman) Who's asking?

Gil James. I'm with a company

called Systems Operations.

- What do you want?

- I've got a cheque here for you.

A class-action suit.

Some study you took part in.

What are you saying?

I never joined any class-action suit.

I guess you must have been

one of the folks

they just included

along with the ones who filed.

Because you were

part of the study, right?

I'm not interested. Please go away.

Are you sure? I mean,

this is a lot of money.

Go away! Or I'll call the police.

Oh, I'm sorry you... feel that way.

Go away.

Go away.

Would you like something?

I could make some tea.

That'd be great. Thank you.

Excuse me. Would you pass me that?

Green one.

Thanks.

So what's so special about Richardson?

Just a name on my list.
