4400 Ariana Jackson 2nd Rev Network Draft 1/19/21 56.
Jessica squeezes Keisha’s arm before she goes back in. Keisha catches a movement out of the corner of her eye. She peers down the hallway, spots Hayden in the shadows. KEISHA Hayden? What are you doing out here? C’mon, let’s get you back. She starts walking and he falls into step beside her. She notes he wears a faded Missy Elliott t-shirt. KEISHA (CONT'D) My sister and I saw her at Ford Field when we were kids. She was gonna be a rapper slash mogul slash collaborator just like Missy. She laughs a little, but Hayden senses it’s tinged with sadness. KEISHA (CONT'D) Glad they found you something else to wear, I heard they were gonna hit up the Salvation Army. (a beat) You’d like her daughter, my niece. She’s prickly around the edges, but most of you all are at that age, aren’t you? Hayden makes a face -- duh . Keisha laughs, for real this time. INT. WANDA’S HOUSE - BEDROOM - NIGHT Jharrel slips into bed, not as drunk as he wants to be. Someone stirs beside him, roused from sleep -- WANDA Wha...? Jharrel? JHARREL Can I sleep here tonight? Wanda sits up, turns on her bedside LAMP -- WANDA Did you find Manny? Is he here? Jharrel can’t answer, but she sees it in his expression. Her face falls, his pain mirroring her own. She leans over, holding her to him, as they both grieve this gutting disappointment.
