EXT CONVENIENCE STORE PARKING LOT NIGHT
The store-front parking spaces are all occupied, customers are coming in and out.
KEVIN is on the payphone.
KEVIN...all black, he had a hat on.
Lexus.
Like gray or dark blue maybe.
The Super Mart on Main, by The Tower.
KEVIN looks at the store behind him.
KEVIN
(Continuing)
3601
Jeans and a track jacket.
Hanging out by my car.
Gold Grand Marquis.
Thanks.
Kevin hangs up the phone and reaches in his car to grab a cigarette and some Visine.
He applies the Visine, lights the cigarette and leans back against his car.
The observation tower at The Tower Hotel and Casino looms in the distance.
The bungee jumpers look like they're not attached to anything.
Bodies fall from the top as Kevin soaks in the scenery and smokes.
A couple of STREET KIDS to whom Kevin pays no mind walk by and mildly harass him simply because he's there.
STREET KID
Yo, chief! I got that fire.
An unmarked police vehicle finally arrives and a uniformed OFFICER steps out.
KEVIN
Hey.
OFFICER
Mr. Bonham?
KEVIN
Yeah.
Kevin takes a drag of his cigarette.
INT BEDROOM MORNING
KEVIN and DANIELLE are in bed. Kevin wears the same clothes from the previous night and is sitting up, on top of the covers.
Danielle is under the covers but also sitting up.
DANIELLE
...this is unbelievable. You had to hide? What if he saw you?
Kev, this is, this is..
KEVIN
I know.
DANIELLE
You had to be scared out of your mind.
KEVIN
I was shittin' pink Twinkies.
DANIELLE
Sad. Poor waiter.
What if the guy is still looking for you?
You're not worried about that?
KEVIN
Nothing to worry about.
DANIELLE
He saw you and came after you.
KEVIN
Doesn't mean he can find me, or would recognize me for that matter.
There was distance between us. It was dark.
DANIELLE
He's out there still.
KEVIN
So are six hundred thousand other people. I saw his face too.
DANIELLE
Are you going to call the detective?
KEVIN
I gotta get a new phone today.
He's supposed to call me.
DANIELLE
Oh yeah. Shit. That's a few hundred bucks we don't need to spend right now.
KEVIN
I'll buy a cheap one.
DANIELLE
Yeah, be conservative.
You think they'll catch the guy?
KEVIN
Eventually, yeah. I mean, there's security cameras everywhere.
DANIELLE
Right. Especially in a hotel parking garage.
Maybe they caught him already.
KEVIN
Maybe he's halfway around the world by now freaking the fuck out.
That's where I'd be.
DANIELLE
He wasn't freaked out, obviously.
He came right for you.
KEVIN
D, even if the guy was looking for me, which I doubt, how would he find me?
DANIELLE
I hope you hear from the cops today.
Oh, hey. Open house tonight, then I have to stop at my mom's.
I'll be home late.
KEVIN
I got that thing tonight at Venus.
DANIELLE
Oh, right. What time?
KEVIN
Nine-thirty. Ralph'll go. Oh, and guess what? He's moving back to Chicago.
DANIELLE
See that?
KEVIN
You called it.
DANIELLE
Amy calls the shots in that relationship.
(Teasing)
What you gonna do without your man crush?
KEVIN
(Laughs)
Jealous? C'mere, I'll show you a man crush.
Kevin pulls her to him and they playfully roughhouse for a few moments.
Kevin lets Danielle wrestle her way on top of him and pin his arms down.
DANIELLE
Come right home after the thing tonight.
Don't go wandering The Strip with Ralph.
KEVIN
Right. Because the strangler in black is waiting for me.
You're a worry wart.
Danielle hops off of Kevin.
DANIELLE
I have to get ready. Please just come right home.
KEVIN
OK.
Danielle exits.
