KENNY (CONT'D) She just keeps saying he'll get better. Denial is a big part of our family tree.
There's a sweet, awkward chemistry here. They both linger at the door, in the place where a goodnight kiss should be. KENNY (CONT'D) Guess I'll see you tomorrow. KRISTI (smiles) See you tomorrow, deputy. Get home quick, okay? KENNY Yes, ma'am. Kenny leaves. Kristi closes the door behind him, taking a moment to check the ORNATE TALISMAN that's nailed to the door, making sure it's secure - a rote gesture, something as second nature as making sure the door is locked. EXT. TOWN - EARLY EVENING Boyd stands at the end of the street, staring out at a RUNDOWN THREE STORY ESTATE on a hill just beyond the edge of town. This is THE COLONY HOUSE. Boyd takes a set of binoculars from his belt for a closer look. POV OF THE BINOCULARS as we scan the Colony House. A handful of BOHEMIAN TYPES retreat inside, closing the doors behind them. All the windows are shuttered. The house is secure. The binoculars linger on one particular window a moment longer than the rest. Satisfied, Boyd lowers the binoculars. He looks tired. A little beaten. EXT. SHERIFF'S STATION - EARLY EVENING Deputy Kenny waits outside the station - also situated between two residential homes - nervously checking the sun's location in the sky. He sees Boyd approaching, breathes a sigh of relief. BOYD We all clear? KENNY Looks like.
