EXT. SCENE – RAINING, STREET SCENE, ON HER WAY TO A WORK SHIFT, SHE IS WALKING DOWN THE STREET, STREET LIGHTS FLICKERING, SHE IS HAVING A CONVORSATION WITH HER BOYFRIEND ON A WEBCAM SKYPE CALL. AS SHE ENDS THE CALL TO HER BOYFRIEND SHE PUTS HER PHONE DOWN TO SEE A BLACK FIGURE STANDING RIGHT INFRONT OF HER.

MASON MILLER

LISTEN, PEOPLE PLAY PRANKS ALL THE TIME ON SKYPE. EATHAN DOES IT ON A REGULAR BASIS. HE IS LIKE THE ULTIMATE PRANKSTER. THE AMOUNT OF TIMES HIS ACCOUNT HAS BEEM SUSPPENEDED CAUSE OF IT IS UNREAL.

ADRIANNA WILSON

MASON MILLER

(ADRIANNA PUTS HER PHONE DOWN AND STOPS DEAD IN HER TRACKS. SHE SEES CHARLOTTE STANDING UNDERNEATH THE FLICKERING STREET LIGHTS. SHE LOOKS AWAY THEN LOOKS BACK AND THE FIGURE GONE. SHE LOOKS AROUND CONFUSED AND LOOKS DOWN. SHE PUTS HER EARPHONES IN AND LISTENS TO “ GREEN DAY – JESUS OF SURBURBIA” IT DIMS OUT)
