FADE IN:
EXT. EAST BALTIMORE - SUBURBAN STREET - HOUSE - NIGHT
A derelict single-level home, one section of roof covered by
tarpaulin. Graffiti, trash, dilapidation - bad neighborhood.
Two uniformed COP’S, 20’s, fresh-faced and eager, cautiously
approach the front door, guns drawn. It’s quiet.
Cop 1 peers into a partially boarded window.
COP 1
I got a little girl.

You see her?
ON BODYCAM
Through a curtain, JEMMA, 10, forlorn, lost, sits on the
floor watching TV. Colors dance on her catatonic expression.
BACK TO SCENE
Cop 2 equips his radio, voice trembling, adrenaline pumping.
COP 2
Two four six, we’re on the front
porch. One young female visible
inside, ‘bout to force entry.
