PARTMENT #413

  Richardson and Walker enter and lock the door behind them.

  RICHARDSON

  Some of my father's clothes are in the back bedroom. You two are about the same height, so you should be able to find something.

  (she points to room)

  They're hanging in the closet.

  WALKER

  Is your father here?

  RICHARDSON

  ...No, he lived with me when he got sick...Cancer...He passed a few months ago...I haven't cleaned out his room yet.

  WALKER

  ...Sorry.

  After a moment, he walks into the bedroom.

  INT. STEALTH HELO ONE

  The helicopter, still in stealth mode, is hovering outside Richardson's apartment.

  PILOT #1

  Sir, this is Helo-one, they're inside her apartment, what are your orders?

  TYSON (O.S.)

  ...Drop the Strike Team at the complex and have them take up position outside her apartment. We'll be there in about five minutes.

  PILOT #1

  Roger that. Team deployed.

  EXT. STEALTH HELO ONE

  The helicopter flies up over the roof and hovers twenty feet above it.

  The side door opens and the Strike Team rappels down onto the roof and then they quickly make their way to the stairwell.

  The side door closes and the helicopter moves back into position outside of Richardson's apartment.

  INT. SPARE BEDROOM

  Walker has put on a pair of pants, shoes and a t-shirt when he hears the FAINT SOUNDS of footsteps above.

  Richardson runs in.

  RICHARDSON

  I think someone's on the roof!

  WALKER

  Sounds like it. Probably the backup team.

  Walker opens the sliding door and walks out onto the balcony.

  EXT. BALCONY/BUILDING

  Walker looks up, but SEES nothing. When he looks down at the street, he SEES several marked and unmarked police cars driving up to the building from all directions. They all stop just outside of the apartment complex.

  WALKER

  Yep, we got company. A lot of company.

  He searches for an escape route when he SEES the slight SHIMMER of the Stealth Helicopter.

  Richardson walks out onto the balcony beside him and SEES all the police cars.

  RICHARDSON

  How could they have found us so soon?!

  WALKER

  We were followed...

  RICHARDSON

  But there was no one following us, you said so yourself.

  WALKER

  Do you know much about helicopters?

  RICHARDSON

  A lot actually. I flew a Typhoon Mark Three for six years in the Army.

  WALKER

  Did you ever hear talk of stealth technology that makes an aircraft nearly invisible to the naked eye?

  RICHARDSON

  Just rumors. Why?

  She SEES him staring, so she glances in the direction that he is looking.

  WALKER

  Because I think I'm looking at one right now...See it?

  She squints her eyes, and after a moment she SEES the slight SHIMMER of the Stealth Helicopter.

  RICHARDSON

  ...Yeah, I see it.

  INT. STEALTH HELO ONE

  The Pilot knows she has been spotted. She flips a switch on her comlink and speaks into her microphone.

  PILOT #1

  Sir, I've been made. Requesting permission to open fire.

  EXT. BALCONY

  Walker hasn't taken his eyes off the helicopter. He steps in front of Richardson and places his arms on the balcony railing.

  WALKER

  I'm gonna need your gun. Without them seeing take it out and slide it into my waistband near the middle of my back, then walk into the apartment.

  She does what he says.

  RICHARDSON

  I hope you know what you're doing.

  INT. STEALTH HELO ONE

  The Pilot locks the weapon system onto Walker.

  TYSON (O.S.)

  ...This is Tyson, permission to open fire granted. We'll be there in three minutes.

  PILOT #1

  Target locked and proceeding to fire.

  EXT. BALCONY

  Walker draws the gun from his waistband.

  WALKER

  (to Richardson)

  Susan, run! Run!

  He quickly FIRES the entire fifteen round clip at the SHIMMERING helicopter.

  INT. STEALTH HELO ONE

  The Pilot instinctively ducks when SEVERAL ROUNDS HIT her bulletproof windshield, making her lose her aim.

  Walker turns and runs back into the apartment.

  WALKER

  We're gonna get lit up! Find some cover!
