He takes a few steps and sees the flashlight resting in a growing puddle . The light beam points to Eli ’ s house .
GORDON You son of a bitch .
He marches over , meanwhile--
EXT . BACKYARD
Eli pats the fresh mound with the shovel ’ s blade . He wipes a bead of water from his brow . Rain ? Sweat ? Doesn ’ t matter . Digging a grave is hard work !
A sudden movement in the kitchen catches his eye .
A long , tense beat then Eli grips the shovel and trudges forward .
INT . KITCHEN - SAME Patrick sees Eli approaching and hides under the table . PATRICK ’ S POV
Heavy breathing , as he searches for an exit . The hallway calls to him .
Just as he ’ s about to run for it--- CREAK ! A dark silhouette fills the entryway . Patrick backpedals , making himself as small as possible .
No response .
SILHOUETTE Come out , asshole !
Teen 2 steps forward , tracking mud on the floor . His forehead is still covered , but his pistol ’ s ready to play .
TEEN 2 ( screaming )
Show yourself , dammit ! ( a beat )
I ’ m gonna fucking kill you .
Patrick gently weeps . He should have stayed home .
