Aileen’s eyes in the rear-view mirror narrow and flicker. Marie-Claire jogs to the Car Park Entrance just in time to see the car pull away.

The Police Patrol Car with Holly and the Baby in the back turns into the car park, navigates marked and unmarked Police vehicles, Official People mill about. We may notice an unmarked CAR turn in behind it. With a determined Marie-Claire at the wheel.

Marie-Claire leaps from her car, pulls her police hat on, straightens her uniform …

EXT. CAR PARK, WAREHOUSE – NIGHT
Holly exits the police car and is face to face withMarie-Claire. It’s a moment.
FLASHBACK to the DARK FORCE SHE WAS FACE TO FACE WITH JUST A FEW HOURS AGO. IS THIS WHO SHOT THE ANGELS? She backs away, clutches the Baby, SCREAMS.
AILEEN
Holly, Holly. Hey, this is Marie-Claire; she’ll look after you while I collect Jonah …
HOLLY
No! She’s a dark force.
AILEEN
Oi! You, shut it. (to Marie-Claire) Sorry, Officer.
Aileen and Marie-Claire share a look.
AILEEN
Sit in the car while I’m gone, Marie-Claire will keep an eye on you from out here.
Marie-Claire nods her assent, as Aileen hurries into the warehouse.
INT. POLICE PATROL CAR – NIGHT – A SHORT TIME LATER
The Baby searches Holly’s eyes. She smiles, rocks it. Outside, Marie-Claire paces, speaks into a phone. Her voice a low murmur, barely audible.
MARIE-CLAIRE
