The scene is of the hospital ward Ally Wilkinson lies in bed sobbing as her parents comfort her. Logan Neilson stands, leaning against the wall, lost for words for what seems like the first time in his life. His cell phone still in his hand as he stares in to distance, Talons voice still echoing in his ears. He murmurs something in the direction of Ally which isn’t heard and he quietly leaves the room and stands in the deserted hallway. He sinks against the wall and sits on the floors, his head in his hands. It’s not grief or anger or shock he feels. He feels nothing….And then it hits him. The full force of what has happened hits him like tsunami and he fights to hold back the tears, wiping his eyes with his sleeve and breathing heavily.
Logan swallows and gets to his feet, he tells himself to get a grip as he brings his phone from his pocket again and he starts to make a call to his family. But as he dials the numbers his hand shakes uncontrollably, he takes another deep breathe to steady his emotions and starts dialling and his hand shakes again when he loses it and lets out and agonizing scream and blasts the phone off the wall causing it to explode. He starts pacing back and fourth, his head all over the place, he refuses to go back into the room, he won’t let Ally see him this way. He has to be strong for her, He…. He needs some fresh air… Logan goes to leave when the camera starts to follow he turns and pushes the camera man away.
(Logan): Can ye get the f*ck away fae me please!? This isnae the time tae be waving that thing in ma face!
The camera man goes to protest and stutters.
(Camera man): Sorry Logan, I’m just doing my job.
Logan grabs the camera from him and pulls it close to his own, tear stained, face.
(Logan): Is this what ye want?! Ye want tae see my reaction!!?? YE WANT TAE SEE WHAT HOW I FEEL NOW MY CHILD HAS BEEN KILLED?!?!
Logan takes a deep breathe, his eyes watering now from a combination of rage and sadness. He shoves the camera back into the camera mans chest almost taking him off his feet and storms off.
(Logan): Get yer camera tae f*ck or you’ll be spending the night in this place.
The scene fades to black.
