177. All In The Eyes - Leslie







  • FADE IN:

  • EXT. TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER - DAY

  • SGT. LOUIS GRAY stands ramrod stiff, watching the crowds of tourists flock past his guard post.

  • He stares straight ahead, keeping alert for trouble makers and scanning the area as best as he can with his peripheral vision.

  • A motion catches the corner of his eye and he sees a YOUNG TEENAGE BOY with a super soaker coming into his range of vision.

  • The boy stops right in front of him, staring him down.

  • Sgt. Gray stares back, his eyes becoming steely.

  • He tightens his jaw and the teenager lowers the barrel at him.

  • Gray's eyes focus.

  • The boy grins, his own eyes taunting as he plays with the trigger.

  • They stare at each other for a long moment, then the boy nods, surrendering and begins to lower his gun.

  • Gray's eye's relax and a movement catches his eyes as they reflexively flick left towards a LITTLE GIRL out of control on her bike.

  • A stream of water hits his face and his eyes zip back to boy.

  • The teenage boy's gun is raised as he grins triumphantly pumping away and soaking the sergeant's uniform.

  • The surprise leaves Sgt. Gray's eyes and they return to their previous steeliness, but he gives a small slight nod to the boy still soaking him.

  • FADE TO BLACK.
