Cut to BEDROOM.
Lucy is doing her homework at her desk. Hears the phone ringing and no-one answering it. Looks over at the time, reads 9:47. Lucy gets up out of her chair and walking to door.
Lucy walks down the top of STAIRS (interior) listening to the phone ring.
Straight cut back to LOUNGE.
Mandy takes the picture and looks at it closer.

Mum?
Lucy walks down the bottom of the STAIRS, and looks down at the phone.
Lucy
Mum? Can you not hear the phone?
Straight cut back to LOUNGE.
Mum turns around and stares at the doorway, silent.
Phone goes to answer machine ‘hi, we can’t take your call right now, but if you leave your name and number we’ll get back to you as soon as we can. Thanks.’
Girl walks into LOUNGE 1, and the mum turns back around and hugs the picture tight.
Lucy
Mum not again, you can’t keep doing this.

The doorbell rings, both of them look at the door and no-one speaks.

Lucy
Oh right... Sorry, of course… Come in, she’s just through here.
Detective
Great.
Lucy leads the Detective through to the lounge. Mandy is sat on the sofa staring out of the window at the parked car outside.
Lucy
Mum, the detective is here to see you from Mollie’s case, he said he has some news.
Mandy sharply turns her head and looks over at the detective. She stands up and walks fast over to him.
Mandy
Oh yes hello, nice to see you again.
Puts her hand out for the detective to shake, and the detective shakes her hand.
