Whittney on the floor by Lori’s chair. Evangeline stood up by her chair but didn’t move. Ian standing at his chair… hears footsteps running up the stairs.
Ian: (moves towards W, but E gets in the way) Step aside, Evangeline.
Evangeline: (stands protectively in front of W) Don’t touch her.
Ian: Evangeline, I am perfectly capable of handling –
Evangeline: Are you even going to take her to a hospital?
Ian: She’s fine.
Evangeline: She is NOT fine! She’s unconscious on the ground! She’d die before you’d get help from anyone!
Ian: (snaps) That’s it! Up to your room. NOW!
Evangeline: I’m not going anywhere! Leave you alone with Whittney? I don’t think so! Not now!
Ian: (grabs her by the arm and starts dragging her up the stairs.)
Evangeline: (various protests) Let me go!
Ian: (opens door and shoves her in. Glare. Slams door and locks.)
*Setting Change: All girls in bed room lounging around, generally calm.*
Evangeline: (breathing heavily, banging on the door) Ian! Let me out! (turns to Skyler) Sky, open the door! Invent something quick!
Skyler: Why? (a little bit concerned) What’s the big deal?
Evangeline: You don’t understand! He’s gonna hurt her! We have to help!
Zooey: Evangeline, he’s not the bad guy – he can only help her here.
Evangeline: He’s and insane, evil psychopath who uses weird machines on people!
Amelia: Maybe you should lie down for a bit, Evangeline.
Evangeline: This is no time for sleeping! Whittney’s in trouble.
Isabel: What exactly is he doing to her, E?
Evangeline: I don’t know, but it’s not good! There’s some weird German stuff and something about a mind machine! And you! (pointing at Emmalee) Your replacing something or someone!
Ian: (Door knob shakes and it opens. Ian tries to force a smile before gently pushing Whittney in to the room.) She hit her head and has a slight concussion, so don’t be surprised if she has forgotten a few things. (Leaves. Shutting door.)
Zooey: (Looks at E) See, She’s perfectly fine.
