And Soon the Darkness

Stephanie: [on her cellphone, trying to locate Ellie] So it's me, uhm, where are you? I'm at the cow place now.

[looking around for her friend]

Stephanie: Uhm, so call me. Bye.

[starts pushing her bicycle, looking vaguely worried, as car approaches]

Michael: [driver in car] Hey!

Stephanie: Hi.

Michael: Where's your friend?

Stephanie: Coming.

Michael: Yeah?

Stephanie: Yeah.

[continues pushing bicycle, looks back at him]

Stephanie: Any minute now.

[remembers]

Stephanie: Oh, hey, thanks for your help last night with that guy. He was a real creep.

Michael: Yeah, he was.

Stephanie: You know what?

[checks her cellphone for word from her missing friend]

Stephanie: Probably got a flat or something. I'd better go, but see you around, uh...?

Michael: Michael.

Stephanie: [nods] Stephanie.

[pushing her bicycle, about to leave]

Michael: Hey, where are you going? I'll give you a lift.

Stephanie: [looking back] No, I'm okay, thanks though.
