--Home Sweet Home-- Part 4
By Carnotaur3
17 INT. VEHICLE – DAY
They sat down in the vehicle, Dan hadn’t turned the ignition yet, he wanted a full overview on what he had herad from him outside the car.
DAN
So, let me get this straight, you’re a- um- a-
ROBERT
Psychic!
DAN
Right, Psychic, and you like to get the ghosts out of my home?
ROBERT
That’s the summery of it, yeah.
DAN
Can I call myself Roger Rabbit and you be Bugs Bunny?
ROBERT
Fine, do I have to demonstrate to you?
DAN
Whatever floats your boat buddy, the cheese is about to slide off my cracker anyway.
Robert took his hands and placed it on Dan’s forehead.
DAN (cont’d)
What you doing?
ROBERT
I’m showing you what I saw and felt.
DAN
(Sarcastically) Well, make it quick!
Robert closed his eyes, and Dan started to feel the same thing he had felt in the basement, the strange horrific feeling.
It speeded through his body like a lightning bolt, making his sight go black.
CUT TO:
DREAMLIKE SCENE
And very slowly, he drifted into a sleep that could not be awoken but by Robert alone.
ROBERT (V.O.)
Are you there Dan? Are you there?
Blackness surrounded a dark creepy house. It was his house. Only it looked more dark and evil.
The sun had stopped shining, for it was night, and through the rooms of the house, he heard his wife’s screams, and his howling that made him shudder so horribly he had felt like he could have died right then.
Then, inside the house, he saw the blood drip down the wall. Written on the wall, it read:
“KILL HER”
Although he could read this, he had no idea for what it meant. He couldn’t think of it, for he was too scared to even realize he had seen it.
It flashed off and he went into the blackness. But he knew the dream wasn’t over for he heard a voice. The voice was not human, but it spoke within English.
VOICE
A time to kill it is! We were expecting you for so long! Come with us, come back to HELL!
CUT TO:
END DREAM SCENE
Dan’s eyes flicked open. He saw before him, Robert Hardy, his eyes set outside the windshield of the vehicle.
Dan’s expression was beyond just plain old serious.
He was terrified.
ROBERT
Now, you know how it feels every night when I’m in bed, knowing how everybody’s life is going to end. The people I love; the people I don’t know. Now, you know how it is to live with something so awful, I shall never give a name for it.
DAN
You can call it hell!
ROBERT
Most certainly. I’ve had this power since I was young, Mr. Henderson. Not a day goes by I pray to God for it to be taken away. But He seems to want me to keep, for reasons I don’t know.
Dan leaned forward.
DAN
When do I- when does she?
ROBERT
Die?
Dan nodded.
ROBERT
That’s the only vision I had, Mr. Henderson. That’s the only vision I’ve had for two straight weeks.
DAN
So, my wife or me won’t die?
ROBERT
I don’t know, it’s not yet known.
Dan took out his hand. He made it seem so friendly and helpful.
Robert shook his hand.
DAN
Promise me you’ll keep your word that you may help us any way you can.
ROBERT
I’ll try.
18 INT. HOUSE - DAY
The psychic was talking to Dan and Gabby. Dan was so convinced you couldn’t tell him otherwise and Gabby still wasn’t so sure, but she would never tell Dan this.
ROBERT
I know two people who could take the ghosts out. It’ll cost, but it’ll be better off out than still back in. I’ll help you also, keeping you posted on my visions.
DAN
Thanks! I appreciate this.
ROBERT
I’ll be back, I have to make a phone call.
He leaves the room. Then, Gabby remarked:
GABBY
(Speaking harsh but whispering)
What are you doing? Are you insane?
DAN
(Whispering also) No. I’ve finally been thinking clearly.
GABBY
Oh, very clearly, you don’t just let a man, that we don’t even know, walk around our house, acting like he knows what he’s doing. There are no such things as psychics, Dan! Never was, never will be.
DAN
There is now he pulled the power he had into me, so I could see what was happening. Trust me, the guy’s no joke.
Gabby leaned her head back on the cushion of the couch. She grunted as if saying, “I’m still not with you on this”.
Back came Robert, his Bible was in his hands.
ROBERT
I’ve called them.
Dan acted surprised.
DAN
Called who?
ROBERT
Your ghostbusters.
DAN
Ok, now, wait a minute. I didn’t mean now?
ROBERT
Mr. Henderson, we need to get them out now.
GABBY
Dan, stop arguing. Let them come.
She smiled. She wanted to teach Dan a lesson.
19 EXT. DRIVEWAY – DAY
The truck stopped by, just in time to meet the three people.
Out came the head of the operation, NICK WILSON. His gadgets filled his belt.
Nick walked to Dan and Gabby. He already knew Robert.
NICK
Dan Henderson, I presume.
Dan shook his hand.
DAN
Yes, this is my wife, Gabby.
Gabby shook his hand as well.
GABBY
Hi.
Nick looked around the house. Then, he looked back to see his partner get out of the vehicle. His partner’s name is GREG PERRY
NICK
This is my assistant, Greg Perry.
DAN
And your name?
NICK
Nick Wilson. When did this all start, Dan.
He walked past him and, then, was in front. He was taking out a device. Dan wasn’t quite sure what it was though.
DAN
Um- I’d have to say the night we first came to our house.
GREG
You bought it, well, how long ago was this?
Dan turned toward Greg.
DAN
July 2.
GREG
Hmm. Doc!
He waltz over to Nick, which he was doing his thing before he was interrupted.
Dan and Gabby stayed behind.
NICK
Yeah?
GREG
(Whispering) He just got into his home the second day of this month.
NICK
And?
GREG
Hen your in a new house, Doc, your bound to hear thing.
NICK
Greg, this is not an old house.
GREG
I know, but it’s new to them, and they try to settle in it and they start to hear things you know.
NICK
How bout you go over there and ask them what they heard. Maybe it’s not the noises that are the problem. Stop coming to conclusions so quick.
Greg nodded, and walked towards Dan and Gabby.
GREG
Can you tell me what happened?
Dan spoke up.
DAN
There was an earthquake; first night we were there and-
GABBY
That’s true honey, there could be an explanation-
Dan cut her off.
DAN
And I saw my wife outside, only it was not her. Then, the doors keep flying open.
GREG
What do you mean “Not her”?
DAN
I mean it wasn’t her, it was a ghost trying to be her. It had black eyes.
GREG
This is um- different than our previous cases.
CUT TO:
The three are still talking when Nick lifted his head up in an astonished look.
His mouth open.
NICK
My God, help us all.
Robert was still in the driveway, he noticed Nick’s funny look, He ran past the three and to him.
The three turned their heads towards Robert and Nick.
ROBERT
What is it Nick?
Nick shook his head.
NICK
Reading’s off the chart.
Robert looked at his Ghost Detector.
It was, indeed, off the chart.
NICK (cont’d)
This has never happened before.
ROBERT
Maybe we should wait another day.
NICK
No, we have to have them out now. ASAP!
Robert nodded, then, they both turned to see Dan. He was looking at the window, terrified.
They walked over to him. Gabby was shaking him.
GABBY
What’s wrong honey?
His stare was like he was in a trance.
DAN
The FACE. Do you see the face.
She and everyone, as well, looked up to the window he was gazing on.
CUT TO:
DAN’S P.O.V.
In the window, he saw the face of something evil. The grinning complexion of a human face, blood dripping down his mouth. His eyes bloodshot. He was DAN HENDERSON. Only Dan didn’t know it.
Gabby didn’t know weather he was being serious or not.
GABBY
There’s nothing there, honey.
DAN
Yeah, there is.
The face disappeared.
CUT TO:
Everybody was standing looking at the window, finally, Nick looked over and shook Dan.
NICK
This is going to stop, Dan. We need to get in the house right away.
DAN
I’ll show you to the door.
They walk off, only Gabby left behind.
GABBY
(Whispering) This is absurd.
She finally left to catch up with them.
