INT.

SCENE I - NIGHT. HOUSE

TIANNA

(monologue)

Hello. Good evening everyone. I would like to tell you about a family. Every day another child is abused or neglected in his or her home and put into the foster care system.

Viola is walking through her house. You can hear the sound of her high heels clicking on the floors, it sounds so cold and uninviting. The telephone is ringing. Viola is dressed to kill to attend a party. Viola picks up the phone and answers.

VIOLA

(excited)

Girl this party is gonna be off the hook. It's gonna be exactly what I need after last night's party. It was weak. Do you think that Omar will be there tonight? He is so handsome and his voice is so sexy. Mm, Mm, Mm, Okay, I'll be there in a few minutes.

Viola walks to the front door of the house and opens it gently, but is startled by the voices of children.

DAWAYNE

(hesitant)

Momma, where ya going?

TRACEY

I'm hungry mommy. Can I have a hot dog?

There is a baby crying in another room.

VIOLA

(exasperated)

Oh, um momma's goin' out for a while, Dawayne baby. Tracey it is too late to eat now. You go on back to bed.

DAWAYNE

(urgently)

Momma I got this home work papers from school. Can you help me with them? You said you would. Can we talk now?

TRACEY

(holding her stomach)

But, I'm hungry mommy. Can I have sumpin' to eat? Why is it too late to eat when I am hungry? Do you understand that?

VIOLA

(annoyed, grumbling under her breath)

I got one crying, one is begging for food, and one wanting my attention because of school. I can't catch a break. I need to go to this party. (loud and angrily) Doggonnit, Take yo' tail to bed before I whup you. It is too late to be eating now. Didn't I just say that I was going out? I'm leaving. Give the baby a bottle before she wakes the whole neighborhood.

Tracey squeaks in fear and runs out of the room.

TIANNA

(sadly)

That is so sad.

Viola grabs her coat off of a nearby coat hanger and walks out of the door, but not before she turns and looks at Dawayne crying behind her. The sound of a baby can still be heard crying in another room. Dawayne looks at the door his mother just walked out of, then goes into the room where the baby lays in a crib. Dawayne picks the child up and tries to comfort it.)

DAWAYNE

(crying)

Its okay baby girl, I'm here. Shhhh. Stop crying now. Come on now! Stop crying!

Dawayne takes the baby into the living room and turns on the television. He sits the baby on the floor and walks into the kitchen. He quickly and expertly prepares a bottle. He takes the bottle to the baby and she immediately settles down and stops crying. Dawayne talks soothingly to the baby. He falls asleep with the baby in his arms.

Tracey, pokes her head out of the bedroom door and looks around. She sees Dawayne and the baby sleeping on the couch. She tiptoes out of the bedroom and into the kitchen.

TRACEY

(flatly)

Damn, I am hungry.

She looks in the cabinet under the sink and finds a box of macaroni and cheese. Tracy gets a pot from under the oven and put water into it. She turns on all of the burners on the stove and places the pot on one of the burners. She empties the box of macaroni into the pot. She notices one of her toys on the kitchen table and loses interest in the macaroni that is cooking and starts playing with her toy. She leaves the macaroni sitting on one of the heated burners.

After a few minutes, Dawayne is awakened by smoke. He is coughing. He looks around and sees the smoke coming out of the kitchen. He places the baby on the couch and rushes to the kitchen. The stove is ablaze. He grabs the pot of macaroni off of the stove burning his arm badly in the process and he throws it into the sink. He turns and notices that the baby has fallen off of the couch onto the floor. He turns again and notices that Tracey is lying on the floor unconscious. He tries to get to her disregarding his own injuries. Dawayne treks through the fire and picks up his little sister, but before he can move her a piece of debris falls from the ceiling onto him.

EXT. SCENE II - LATER THAT NIGHT - OUTSIDE

An ambulance and a couple of fire trucks are scattered outside the burning house. A black car comes slowly down the street then stops abruptly. Viola exits the vehicle in a panic and runs down the street losing her right heel along the way.

VIOLA

(harried)

Oh, shoot! That's my favorite pair of shoes. If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all.

Viola runs toward the ambulance where Tracy is laying motionless on a stretcher being loaded into the ambulance. A police officer steps in her way.

OFFICER

(controlling)

Ma'am you need to stand back. Who are you anyway? I told you to stand back ma'am.

VIOLA

(hysterical)

That's my house. Those are my children. Oh My GOD! What's happened? WHAT HAPPENED?

OFFICER

(controlling)

If those are your children, you need to get into the ambulance with them. They are on their way to the hospital.

Old Ms. Bell is talking excitedly to a police officer shaking her head and hands. This is probably the most stirring thing that has happened to me in years.

OFFICER II

(questioning)

And you never called the police about the children
