It's a start..

ACT ONE
IT'S A DARK NIGHT. THERES A BUILDING SURROUNDED BY BARBED
WIRE AND SECURITY CHECKPOINT. A MAN HAS JUST SAID GOOD NIGHT
TO A FELLOW SCIENTIST AND HAS GOTTEN INTO HIS CAR. INSIDE,
IN A SMALL OFFICE, IS A WOMAN-SHAY. SHES WORKING LONG AND
HARD INTO THE NIGHT. SHE IS PRETTY, WITH LIGHT BROWN CURLS
THAT GENTLY BRUSH HER SHOULDERS, AND SERIOUS BLUE EYES
FRAMED WITH GLASSES. SHE STRAIGHTENS HER LAB COAT AND SIGHS.
SHE GLANCES AT THE CLOCK AND GROANS. IT SAYS 1 O'CLOCK AM.
AFTER CLEANING UP HER STATION, SHE GRABS HER BAG, POCKETS
HER KEYS, AND STARTS HEADING OUT. SHE HEADS TO HER CAR,
UNLOCKING IT GROGGILY, AND SLIDES IN.

--------------------------------------------------------

As she puts her key in the ignition, her phone rings. Shay
looks at it bewildered, wondering who could be calling this
late.

---------------------------------------------------------

SHAY
Mom?... No I'm coming home now.
Yeah, I know. Why aren't you in
bed? Just to remind you I am a
grown woman. No. Stop. Yeah sure
if I had a husband he could be
working and not me... Yeah... and
make my salary? Heading home as we
speak. Go to sleep... Nite... Love
you, bye.

--------------------------------------------------------

Shay shoves her phone angrily in her bag. Just as she starts
the car, an explosion throws her back and knocks the keys
out of her hand.
Shay screams and opens her eyes, seeing half of the building
engulfed in flames.

---------------------------------------------------

SHAY
Oh no...

She quickly gets out of the car, and runs to the side of the
building, scrambling over broken pieces of wall. As she gets
closer, she sees the destroyed laboratory. Most of the
exspensive equitment has melted, and chemicals drip on the
floor. She ignores the experiments, her eyes set on
something in front of her.

---------------------------------------------

SHAY
Thank god..

-----------------------------------------------

She moves over to 5 tank sized test tubes, each filled with
a glowing blue liquid. All but one is empty. The last one is
half way full of liquid, the top broken off. She looks
frantically around, her eyes searching the floor.

----------------------------------------------------

SHAY
C'mon, I know your here...please
be here!

--------------------------------------

Her hands move across the broken glass on the floor. She
gasps as her hand runs over something warm and wet. At the
touch, it starts to cry, and squirms around. She smiles
relieved, and takes off her lab coat, carefully wrapping the
baby in it.

-------------------------------------------

SHAY
It's ok. Shhh.

---------------------

The baby stares up at her with a gaze too focused for an
infant. It's blue eyes blink slowly, and then its mouth
forms a small little "O" and it yawns.
Shay runs through the hole in the wall, carrying the baby
tightly to her chest. She breathes heavily as she nears her
car, throwing open the door and laying the baby gently in
the passenger seat. She goes to her side quickly, and
scrambles to find the key. Her fingers wrap around cold
metal, and her heart jumps in excitement. She jams the key
in, and tears out of the parking lot, hearing distant sirens
behind her.

------------------------------------------------------

SHAY
I did it. I saved one!

------------------------------------

Shay pauses and them grimaces.

------------------------------------

SHAY
Oh no I did it!

--------------------------------

She slams her hand on the stearing wheel and growls.

-----------------------------------------------

SHAY
Crap! What was I thinking?!
Stupid, stupid, stupid!

---------------------------------------

The baby starts to cry, its strong wail filling the car.
Shay squirms uncomfortably, and lays a hand on the baby.

----------------------------------------------

SHAY
No, no no! Don't cry! Sorry,
sorry.

----------------------------------------

The baby's wail quivers, its lip shaking from the cold. It
sticks it's little fist up, wailing.
Shay's hand darts to the heat, turning it on full.

-------------------------------------------

SHAY
It's gonna be ok now. Your going
to be ok now. We are going home.
And then...well we will both take
it from there. Well, I will take
it from there. But I won't let
them find you. I promise.
