Two Winters Past


Scene 41


INT. HOUSE

HELLER leads. SCAR pushes COLE toward the front door.

SCAR: You finking on everyone!

COLE: My father doesn’t want any of this. Take my uncle and you’ll have your peace. Is it true about the Muslims?

HELLER: The Swordsman is back.

COLE: He’s alive?

HELLER: He went east, found people holed up all the way to New York City. Christian people. He wants to bring letters between them. The zombies are gone! You see one or two, but they are barely interested. The Muslims want to take it from us.

COLE: When did he come to you?

HELLER: Came last week. Spent winter on the Hudson.

COLE: My uncle is outside waiting for me. If you take him out of the picture, my father will stand with you. That is a promise.

SCAR yanks COLE to his feet.

SCAR: What about Remmy?

COLE: Remmy will do what the King tells him.

SCAR: You better get baiting then, shouldn’t you?

SCAR pushes COLE down stairs. COLE stumbles, but doesn’t fall. They reach a ground floor and SCAR shoves COLE to the front door.

SCAR: Outside.

Front door is open. Screen door hangs on hinges. Wood is busted where a secure lock once held door in place.

COLE shoulders the door open and stumbles onto the front porch. COLE catches his balance, stands up straight, carefully walks down stairs.

HELLER steps outside and is smashed in the face. TERROR steps from hiding. His look is fitting his name. He grabs SCAR and drags him outside.
