The Silent Thief Page #4

Brennan Marley is an outcast drifter who threatens to destroy a family's unity by displacing their biological son, Mike Henderson, while he is away at college. Hungry for acceptance and exceptionally cunning, Brennan becomes a boarder at the Henderson family's beach home under false pretenses. Claiming that he is an orphan from England, Brennan uses his manipulative prowess to ingratiate himself with each member of the Henderson family before Mike returns home from college for Christmas vacation. As Brennan's tactics become increasingly pernicious, psyches are driven to the breaking point, long buried family secrets are revealed and violence ensues.

Clark Kent is so not cool man.

He's only cool when he's

superman.

No, I get it,

but that's what I like about it.

You know, it's like...

all of his potential is hidden

underneath.

When the shirt comes open, and

the dorky glasses come off,

And the hair changes...

it's kick ass time.

Mike,

Don't hide that face.

Come on.

I've got so much footage of

pillows, I don't need anymore.

Who's your idol?

Schwarzenegger.

When the shirt comes open...

shirt comes open.

- Dorky glasses come off...

- Dorky glasses come off.

- Hair changes...

- Hair changes.

- ...it's kick ass time.

- It's kick ass time.

Hey

What happened to your shoes?

They were stolen off my feet.

Georgia rest stop.

Stolen off your feet in a

Georgia rest stop?

You know, you should

be more careful.

Take it easy.

There you are!

Where have you been?

Just out for a walk.

Well, if you boys get to bed now

you can go fishing in the morning.

Uh, I don't know, uh, he's a

late sleeper.

Sounds great!

I'll set my alarm. What time?

4:
30

I'll set my alarm for 4.

I know, I know.

Catch and release.

You don't have a pole.

He can use mike's.

He can try.

Great. I'll see you

in a few hours.

- Sweet dreams.

- Good night.

Oh, I got one!

Okay, alright, reel it in.

Slow, slow, slow.

Been here all day

we haven't had one bite.

That pole's a bigger tease than

any woman on this planet.

Mike's the only one

who can use it.

We'll see.

So, I forgot to ask.

Why here?

Thought I could get

some nice pictures.

What part of England did

you say you were from?

London.

Family there?

I don't have a family.

My father died in a plane crash

when I was three.

Mother worked a lot.

One day, she didn't pick me up

from school.

Spent a lot of years

in foster care.

Sorry, Brennan.

It's alright.

You didn't know.

Besides...

I got you guys now.

Isn't he great?

How do you know he's a he?

Don't be a smart ass!

He's ugly.

Don't hate!

Hermit crabs have a hard enough

time as it is.

You know, they constantly

outgrow their shells because

They're never happy with their

place in the world.

So...

my dad got you this morning.

I was wondering if you wanted to

go out with me tonight.

You mean, like a date?

Well, no, that's

not really-

No, no, it doesn't

have to be a date.

I just, I just

didn't think that-

Yeah, I'm just playing.

Sure.

I can't believe you're still up.

You and Brennan must have left

the house at 4:
30 this morning?

Hey baby, I still got it.

Did you catch anything?

Nah.

Poor Brennan.

Growing up without a mother. Can

you imagine?

You mean a father.

What are you talking about?

His father died in

a plane crash.

His mother died of cancer.
