We do what we can. Did you get a call from Rebecca

I love her...I do. But what she's done can never be forgiven.
Jen, it was an accident...you know Rebecca would never mean to do that.
Well she did and I don't think I want any part of her anymore.
Jen listen to yourself. One minute you treat her like
your daughter and the next your treating her like a
stranger. Which one is it?!
(Changing the subject) I'm going to cook dinner, steak
or meatloaf?

JESSICA
Do you have any idea of where they could be ?

Don't worry we will find them.

Its a tracking device that I told Lisa to put in
Giselle's hair, it is very small and just seems like a pimple they would never find it.

The front door barges open.
Honey!

While Jen is speaking to Joey, Bill and Jessica are trying to locate the tracking device.

It just needs a few minutes to load. (Hitting the laptop) Cmon.

SCENE 4
In the dark room again with the kidnappers,
Rebecca, Giselle and Morgan.
LISA
You bitch (punches Rebecca in the face) You think my
mother loves you? Well now she doesn't, she thinks its
all your fault for losing Giselle (laughs). Do you
recognize this person?
Lisa kicks Rebecca in the stomach.
LISA (cont'd)
I said do you bitch?!
Rebecca nods her head in a 'yes' motion.
Now listen carefully. Right after that birthday party
for that little bitch over there Morgan, I had my eyes on this beautiful man. Yes the man who was really with
me throughout all these years and not with you. Yup him
right here...Peter. Whenever he would leave for work
late at night we would really meet up. These past 5
years was all a lie honey. Why do you think Peter dropped your ass? Hmm? Tell me.
Kicks Rebecca in the head again.
Ill tell you why. Cause he is the father of Giselle. All this time I couldn't pick up Giselle from school
because I was to busy at Peter's house trying to plan
this whole thing to finally get rid of your useless ass once and for all. And that is where this man comes in.
A 6'3 man with huge arms walks in with a scar on across his face.
NICHOLAS
Hello sweetie.
Rebecca has immense fear in her eyes and screams but the tape masks the noise.
PETER
She was the one who bailed him out. Lisa, honey this is getting boring can we at least hear what she has to say
about all of this, we can pretend like what she says actually matters.
LISA
Go ahead baby.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 20.
Peter rips the tape off Rebecca's face.
REBECCA
You are all sick! All of you! Let us go!
LISA
Nick, please take Morgan to the other room. I'm sick of looking at this ugly whore.
REBECCA
No you leave her alone! Let her go!
Nicholas picks up Morgan while she is squirming, he puts her over his shoulder, as he carries her
to the other room, Morgan accidentally kicks a
picture frame off the wall and it shatters into pieces, he slams the door behind him.
REBECCA (cont'd)
No! Please let her go!
LISA
Okay so here is how it is going to go. You kidnapped
Giselle and brought her here to Peters while he was
gone on vacation. You had Peters keys because like the
crazy bitch you are, you made a copy of his keys before
your broke up and gave him back the old ones. Then you
decided to take Giselle from me after 'you' which was actually Nick took Giselle out of school and tried to
kill her because you were jealous that me and Peter
started to date. And then Peter came home early from
his vacation and walked in to this. He see's you trying to kill Giselle and stops you. He kills you.
She covers her mouth with duct tape again.
(Whispers in her ear) And guess who your assistant
was...your father. I released him under your name and everything. I took every ounce of info you had.
PETER
Okay its time first Morgan! Ill be right back!
Lisa hears a beeping noise coming from Giselle.
LISA
Giselle honey give me your hair baby girl.
GISELLE
Mom can we finish the game now please. I want to be rescued.

waiting for the location to appear.
We got it! 81st B-
All of a sudden an error message pops up on the
tracker screen and the location is lost.
Shit! Its gone (Jen hopelessly puts her head down)
Wait don't give up yet we got the street!
Yeah but we didn't get the avenue.
Maybe we didn't get the WHOLE avenue but we got the
first letter. Does 'B' ring a bell to anyone?
JESSICA
JOEY
JEN
Not to me.
Not really sure.

All three of them watch and wait while Jen thinks deeply.

Awkward moment is shared between all.

At Peters home still in the dark room. Rebecca
sits there while Lisa begins to load her pistol.
Honey can you help me load this.
Sure babe.
Rebecca still tied and seated on the floor spots a
small piece of glass nearby her from the broken
picture frame. She picks it up without her letting
them notice and begins to cut the rope behind her back. Nick opens up the door to the other room.
Do you want me to kill her or what, she wont shut up!
Yes, do it already.
Nick turns around Peter points the gun at his back
and shoots him. Nick falls and dies. Rebecca
begins to cry and scream with the tape still on
her mouth. She is still cutting through the rope until she finally cuts it.
Finally. Babe can you get Morgan out of the room?
Sure baby.
Peter walks over to Morgan, he bends over to pick
her up. Another gunshot goes off and this time its
Peter. He falls to the floor bleeding. Lisa walks over to Peter.
Sorry honey, I just needed to throw you into the mix. It just seems more realistic.
Lisa reloads the gun and now begins to aim it at
Morgan. Morgan is crying so hard.
Now look Rebecca, your not gonna want to-
Lisa turns around but Rebecca is nowhere to be
found.
What?! Where are you-
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 24.
Rebecca hits Lisa over the head with a flower
vase. Lisa falls to the floor. Rebecca runs over
to Morgan and rips the the tape off her mouth and
cuts her loose. She hugs Morgan and pulls her to get up but Morgan doesn't move.
REBECCA
Morgan cmon!
Morgan stares at Rebecca.
Morgan what is going?!
MORGAN
Rebecca...I didnt want to have to be the one to to do
this to you. But since your so tough and are such a hero it seems as though its going to have to be me.
REBECCA
(Scared look) Morgan what are you doing?!
Morgan gets up from the bed...and pulls out a
knife from behind her back.
MORGAN
Rebecca I am so sorry but, if you don't die, I lose my
home and everything, then Ill have to move back in with my whore of a mother.
REBECCA
Morgan do you hear yourself? Please Morgan put the knife down.
Lisa starts to slowly get up from the floor.
MORGAN
Rebecca I love you like an older sister I never had but
do you know after you saved me and my mother, life got
bad all over again? My mom became a filthy slut. She would hook up with guys night after night and forgot
all about me. I was all alone Rebecca. I called you and
you were to busy with your business to even care about me. But then once Giselle went missing all of a sudden
you were at my front door asking for help. Five fucking
years Rebecca! I've been needing you. I fell into a
horrible depression and tried to keep my grades up but
I lied to you. My grades were shit and I didn't know
what to do with my life and I couldn't bare to move in
with my mother in Florida, so I stayed here by myself
rotting away, with no job and no money, wanting to just end my life once and for all. But then that's when Lisa
came in to play. She knew I needed the money and since
she wiped out her fathers bank account she decided to pay me anything I needed just to get you here in this

Lisa is standing behind Rebecca.
LISA
Its all true sweetheart. (To Rebecca)
REBECCA
Morgan how could you? (she begins to tear)
Lisa aims her gun one last time at Rebecca and
shoots but nothing comes out. Rebecca hears the faulty shot and begins to run.
LISA
(To Morgan) Get her!
Sirens are heard from outside.
(Screaming) Shit Morgan hurry get her!
Rebecca runs down the stairs and Morgan grabs her right before she is able to open the front door.

Morgan grabs the knife and is about to stab Rebecca.
