Ext - Jason's house - afternoon

Jason slowly pulls into the driveway of his two story house. Rain slowly starts to come down as Jason enters the  3 car garage. Jason's mother and father walk into the garage.

Mom

Hi honey. How was school?

Jason shrugs his shoulders

Jason

Eh, it was ok I guess. It would be better if there were more hands on material instead of book work.

Jason's father walks over to Jason's firebird and looks in the engine bay.

Dad

Going to finish this project up?

Jason

Yep, I hope to finish it by the end of the week.

Dad

Good, then I can get working on my camero again.

Mom

We should get going, we don't want to miss our flight.

Jason

(Confused)

Where are you two going?

Dad

Remember? Your mother and I are going on our vacation to Europe.

Jason

Oh! That's right! I completely forgot that was today.

Mom

We will be back in a month. There's a list of chores that will need to be done on the fridge.

Dad

And I put money into your bank account for food. Have fun!

Jason

Can I have any friends over?

Mom

That's fine, just make sure that the house is spotless when we get back though.

Jason

Fine.

Jason's parents climb into the dodge pickup waiting in the driveway. The dodge backs up out of the driveway and cruises down the road. Jason waits for a money after the truck Is out of sight, then he walks into the house. Jason stops inside the door and takes in the refreshing A/C.

Jason

(Relieved)

Ah! Much better than the humid May weather.

Jason walks threw the kitchen, into the living room, and throws down his back pack onto the couch. Jason walks back into the kitchen.

Jason

Time for some food.

Jason opens the fridge door and looks in. He grabs some leftover ham. Jason grabs the barbecue sauce on the fridge door. Jason walks away from the fridge and sits down at the counter. Jason turns the tv on at flips it over to the news.

News reporter

...in other news, a local teenager was arrested last night for street racing on Kennedy St.

The teenager's picture pops up on the screen.

News reporter

He ran from law enforcement when they showed up and is now facing time for resisting arrest.

Jason choked on the last price of meat that he was eating.

Jason

(Whispers)

Carson!

Jason switches off the tv and sets his plate in the sink. Jason then walks into the garage and over to his car.

Jason

Well, I can't do much for Carson now.

Jason picks up a wrench and begins to work on the firebird.
