Shane’s car

Shane drives as fast as she can, at the same time she has her cell phone in her hand.

Shane: “Did he tell you where he was going?”

Max: “ No, he just took Shay and told me to tell you that he’s thankful that you cared for Shay, while he was away, but it’s time for Shay to go home.”

Shane: “Fuck!! Ok, listen Max. I am on my way to Oregon. I don’t know when I’m going to be back, but you don’t have to worry, okay?”

Max: “Shane, it’s 2 a.m. Why don’t you come home and sleep a bit before you leave?”

Shane: “No, I’ll be fine. Don’t worry. Just tell the other’s that they don’t have to worry. Bye.”

Before Max can answer Shane hangs up. He shakes his head.

Bette’s car

While Bette drives Carmen watches out of the window contemplating. Bette remarks Carmen’s nervousness.

Bette: “Hey, are you okay?”

Carmen: “Yeah…yeah I’m fine…I’m just a little worried about Shane. I sense that something is wrong…”

Bette: “I know that it’s not normal for her to leave without telling anybody, but that doesn’t mean that something must have happened. Maybe Shay missed her or I don’t know.”

Carmen: “I hope so.”

Bette: “Here we are.”

Jenny, Max and Shane’s house

The door knocks and Max rushes to open it. Carmen and Bette walk in.

Max: “Hi, if you’re looking for Shane she’s not here.”

Bette: “Where is she?”

Max: “She’s on her way to Oregon.”

Carmen: “What? Why?”

Max: “Her father…he came and took Shay away. I couldn’t do anything to stop him. So I called Shane and now she’s on her way to Oregon. I tried to convince her to come home and sleep before leaving but she didn’t listen.”

Carmen takes her cell phone and dials Shane’s number nervously.

Shane: “Hello?”

Carmen: “Shane, hey. It’s Carmen. I heard what happened.”

Shane: “I’m on my way to Oregon. I can’t let Shay go. Especially not with this asshole.”

Carmen: “I can understand your frustration, Shane. But when you talk to your father while you’re angry you won’t be able to control yourself. And you know that you won’t achieve anything with anger. Besides that it is 2:20. You will wake Shay up and he will be upset when he sees his father fighting with his sister.”
