INT. CIA COMPOUND, UPSTATE NEW YORK - NIGHT
DEREK is packing up his suitcase to meet up with C in the BLACK HELICOPTER with 5 CIA AGENTS IN SUITS. In the background HELICOPTER PROPELLERS are roaring. DEREK'S MOTHER runs up to him before he has a chance to leave the COMPOUND.
DEREK'S MOM
Derek it's too dangerous to go with the CIA and look for your father, just think about what you have to lose. Your life, your perfect attendance at school, but more importantly, your life.
DEREK
Mom, I already made up my mind, I'm going.
DEREK'S MOM
But Derek!-
DEREK
But nothing Mom! I already told you, I'm going and that's that!
DEREK'S MOM
No, you are not going, I forbid you!
DEREK (angrily)
You forbid me... you forbid me?! Mom, I'm not a child any more, I'm 15, practically an adult. I'm capable of making my own decisions.
DEREK'S MOM (on the brink of crying)
I know you are, but I'm a mother and mothers just want to know that their children are safe.
DEREK (calmed down)
Mom, I will be safe, I'm going to be with the CIA, I'm sure they'll keep me safe.
DEREK'S MOM (calmed down)
Well, as long as they keep you safe......., oh alright, but you have to promise me one thing.
DEREK
And what is that Mom?
DEREK'S MOM
Don't come back to me in a casket !!
DEREK
I promise that I will come back in one piece!! I gotta go now Mom, the chopper's waiting.
DEREK runs to the HELICOPTER and gets on. DEREK blows his MOTHER a kiss and with that, DEREK is in the air and gone.
