MISSING

INT. KYLE’S ROOM – DAY

KYLE, JACK and MICHAEL are relaxing in Kyle’s room. Michael is

reading a book, Jack is scrolling on his phone and Kyle is
throwing a ball at the wall when suddenly Michael receives a
call from Noah’s mother. Michael stands up, walks to the
ringing phone and picks it up.

NOAH’S MOTHER
Hi Michael, I was just wondering if Noah was with you?

MICHAEL

We haven’t seen him since yesterday.

NOAH’S MOTHER

Oh okay, he must be with his Dad.

Noah puts the phone back down and glances over at his two
friends who are staring at him.

KYLE

Noah never visits his dad? He hates him.

JACK

Yeah, something doesn’t seem right about this…

Kyle pulls out his phone and goes to his messages with Noah.
Multiple texts from Noah appear such as: ‘please answer’, ‘I
need help’ and ‘I am being followed’.

MICHAEL

Shit. He sent me these messages last night. What do we

do?

KYLE
 We find who took him and beat him to death.

JACK

Slow down buckaroo, we have to come up with a plan.

MICHAEL

Okay, lets follow his walk home from school.

EXT. OUTSIDE THE FOREST – DAY

Kyle, Jack and Michael leave the room, leave the front door
and head into the forest where Noah usually walks home from
school.

MICHAEL

Alright, look out for any clues or anything unusual that

might tell where Noah could be.

The dense forest towers over the three characters as they

desperately search for clues.

JACK

Look, are those Jacks footsteps?

MICHAEL

They must be.

Michael and Kyle continue walking while Jack lag behind. Jack
hears a sudden rustle in the bush behind him. He swiftly turns
to face it. CLOSE UP shot of Jack slowly moving towards the bush
to figure out what made the sound.

Camera shifts to the behind the bush and reveals a dark figure
(THE JANITOR) lurking behind the bush staring at Jack. OVER THE
SHOULDER SHOT of the dark figure looking at Jack as Jack slowly
moves towards it. The MUSIC builds tension the closer Jack gets.

Just as Jack is about to reveal what is behind the bush, he

hears a call from behind him.
 KYLE

Jack what’s taking you so long, hurry up!

JACK

Coming!

Jack runs after Kyle and Michael leaving the figure behind,
seconds away from see it.

Shot of Jack, Kyle and Michael walking up the hill while

following the trail of the footsteps. The footsteps lead up to
an abandoned college campus.

MICHAEL

The abandoned college campus… why would Noah come here?

JACK

I heard this place was haunted.

KYLE

I don’t know, but let’s check it out.

EXT. ABANDONDED COLLEGE CAMPUS

The three characters: Kyle, Jack and Michael walk up into the
eerie college campus. They look around for a bit until Michael
suggests something.

MICHAEL

Let’s split up. Better chance to find clues about Noah’s

whereabouts if we do that.

KYLE
 Okay, me and Jack will check out the classrooms, and you
check out the locker rooms.

MICHAEL

Okay, meet back here in half an hour.

Michael, Kyle and Jack split ways and start walking in opposite
directions. Camera shifts focus to only Michael who walks
towards the abandoned locker rooms while thoroughly checking his
surroundings to look out for any clues. Michael opens the door
and enters the locker rooms.

INT. LOCKER ROOM

Michael cautiously enters the locker rooms to look for clues.

MICHAEL

Noah?

Michael desperately calls out for Noah’s name hoping to hear a

response.

MICHAEL

Noah? Are you here?

No response. Michael continues his way through the overgrown

depths of the locker rooms.

SOUND: BANG

A loud bang from behind Michael sounds. Michael swiftly turn

around revealing a locker door moving by itself. Michael
whispers under his breath.

MICHAEL

What the hell. Noah?

Michael stammers towards the locker and opens its. Michael jumps
out of his skin. A bird fly’s straight past him and out of the
door. Michael lets out a great sigh of relief. He continues on
and into the old Janitors office. Something seems off as the
office seems used with paper scrawled everywhere and half eaten
food left in the bin. Michael starts to inspect the papers and
realises they are pictures of local teenagers in the area they
live in.
