2 INT. LANGMAID KITCHEN - NIGHT 2
A CLOCK indicates that the time is 8:45 PM as MRS. LANGMAID
sits uneasily at a table talking with Josie's teacher, MISS
BELLE LAKE.
MISS BELLE LAKE
Well, I was a bit concerned when Josie
did not show up for her lessons today.
It's not like her to be tardy or truant.
Now, if we were talking about Sarah
Prentice…
SARAH LANGMAID
(looking nervously at clock)
I don't get it.
MISS BELLE LAKE
The entire matter baffles me. I asked
Waldo at school about Josie's whereabouts
and he said that he did not know…
Professor Walker told me Josie was
supposed to tutor an underclassman…
SARAH LANGMAID
(On the verge of tears and
rising from her seat)
I just don't understand it. Where is she?
She was fine this morning. I'm going to
find her.
MISS BELLE LAKE
Sit down Sarah. The men will bring her
back.
SARAH LANGMAID
I can't take this waiting, Belle.
MISS BELLE LAKE
(trying to be comforting)
Remember two years ago when Flora Stevens
was missing and later it turned out that
she had taken the coach to Concord… She
had the entire town worried half to
death!
SARAH LANGMAID
No, no… Josie is not like that. Something
is wrong.
MISS BELLE LAKE
(pouring herself some TEA)
Tell me more about this morning.
