ext. DECREPIT neighborhood - day

Umpire - a year ago 2 versions.

It is a downpour of rain. Visibility is very low. Down the street, but not to far off is a young boy. This is JOSHUA, 8, a homeless, depressed boy.

Umpire - a year ago 2 versions.

He is running down the street, obviously trying to get somewhere out of the rain. He runs by an abandoned building. He stops for a second then squints to see through the rain.

He then runs to the building. He opens a door and runs in, closing the door behind him.

INT. ABANDONED BUILDING - day

Umpire - a year ago

He looks around for a second, drenched in water. He then runs to another door and runs up a set of stairs. He reaches a hallway at the top of the steps.

Umpire - a year ago

He walks down the hallway slowly. He is looking around cautiously. When he gets to the end of the hallway he walks in the door of what seems to be a bedroom.

INT. VACANT BEDROOM - DAY

Umpire - a year ago

The boy looks around. It is safe. Then he runs to a corner and takes off the coat he had on. Then he takes off his shirt and pants, revealing dirty boxers.

Umpire - a year ago

He goes to a closet and opens it cautiously. Then he pulls out a dirty T-shirt and a pair of ripped jeans. He puts the stuff on then pulls out a backpack.

Umpire - a year ago

He takes out a cracker and tries to bite it but it is obviously stale. He bites it harder and breaks a piece off. Then he begins chewing it in disgust.

Umpire - a year ago

He swallows it in pain and begins to cough. Then he spits some blood out of his mouth and picks up the water bottle. He then opens it and takes miniscule sips, to save it.

Umpire - a year ago

Just then, there is the sound of deep, idiotic laughter from somewhere at the steps to the hallway. Joshua notices and hurries into the closet, leaving his clothes and food.

Umpire - a year ago

Just as he closes the closet door, three men in black leather coats walk in, a bit wet but not drenched. The skinny man, named GRUDGE, 20's is carrying a duffel bag. The burliest man, TANK, late 30's is carrying a shotgun by the door, a bodyguard.

The other man, obviously leader from his sly state, lights a cigar. This is PABLO, late 20's. He smacks the overly excited Grudge in the head and he sets down the duffel bag.

Umpire - a year ago

He opens it and then looks to the side of the bag. The water bottle. He picks it up confused, then he looks around and spots the closet.

PABLO

Tank, go blast whoever's in that there closet.

Umpire - a year ago

Then Tank goes over with his shotgun to the door. He cautiously looks at the door. Then he swings it open, gun trained. Joshua is sitting in the corner scared out of his mind.

Umpire - a year ago

Tank gets a grip on the boy and yanks him out of the closet.

Umpire - a year ago

TANK

Hey, boss, it's just a kid.

Umpire - a year ago

Pablo looks at Tank as if he were an idiot.

Umpire - a year ago

PABLO

What did I just say?

Umpire - a year ago

TANK

But boss--

Umpire - a year ago

Before Tank can react, Pablo pulls out a Desert Eagle and shoots Tank in his shoulder. He drops the boy and holds his shoulder in pain.

Umpire - a year ago

PABLO

You wanna say something else?

Umpire - a year ago

Tank shakes his head 'no'. Then he turns to the boy who is crying now. He picks up his shotgun and looks at the kid sympathetically. He slowly pulls back his finger on the trigger.
