4400 Ariana Jackson 2nd Rev Network Draft 1/19/21 41.
Logan steps up behind Mariah, is staggered to see Shanice. SHANICE Logan. Oh, thank god -- Emotions flicker across his face, surprise, joy, confusion -- she looks the same -- before he hardens and he turns to Mariah -- LOGAN Go inside. MARIAH But, Dad -- SHANICE No, please -- But he steers Mariah inside, shutting the door behind her. He steels himself a beat before he turns back to Shanice. SHANICE (CONT'D) I can’t believe it’s her. I don’t have much time, but I had to see -- LOGAN What are you doing here, Shanice? Finally, Shanice registers the cold undercurrent in Logan. SHANICE I came to find you. You won’t believe what I’ve been through -- I don’t believe it, really, but Mariah’s a teenager ... LOGAN Do you really think you can just walk out on your family and come waltzing back sixteen years later like it never happened? SHANICE Walk out ? That’s not what happened. I was...taken. Or something. I don’t actually know -- Jharrel shuffles on the sidewalk, causing Logan to spot him -- LOGAN Who’s that? SHANICE
He’s...it’s a long story. That’s what I’m trying to tell you. That day you say I left, for me that was two days ago , I don’t know how --
