16.
A small amount of rubbish littering the place, the odd
hole in the wall.
Beth knocks on a door. She notices a SPYHOLE.
Downstairs somewhere a DOG YELPS.
FOOTFALLS come from inside.
TEENAGE GIRL (O.S.)
What the fuck do you want?
BETH
I should be expected.
TEENAGE GIRL (O.S.)
Don’t know nothing about it.
Beth gets out the PIECE OF PAPER Robbie has given her,
puts it at her chest.
The girl leaves, comes back.
Down the hallway, Beth sees two Police officers
approaching. She moves about agitated.
BETH
Hurry up would you?
A LOCK is turned, a heavy SECURITY CHAIN unfastened.
The door opens into a humble American style apartment.
A TEENAGE GIRL (18), answers the door, puts a WORN PISTOL
into the back of her jeans. It looks massive in her hands.
Beth is wide-eyed.
INT. INNER CITY APARTMENT - FAMILY APARTMENT
HEAVY BOOTS are heard outside as the Teenage Girl resets
all the security measures.
TEENAGE GIRL
There’s far worse things than what’s
in that hallway, kid.
Scant possessions. An old couch, RECLINER. Torn
upholstery. A NOISY REFRIGERATOR.
There is a thirty year old TELEVISION sitting on a glasscovered
COFFEE TABLE.
