The team walks the hallway.

Benny suddenly darts out of a class and almost runs over

Charlie. He pushes Charlie to the ground.

Charlie hops up, infuriated, ready to take a swing at Benny,

but Izzy beats him to it. POW!

It's a pretty good shot, right to the nose. Benny is dazed. A

drop of blood trickles out. Benny looks around, but none of

his minions are there to do his bidding.

Squeal Team Six circles around Benny. They seem emboldened

after the encounter with Killer. Benny looks uncomfortable.

An evil grin crosses Benny’s face.

GASPS from the others.

Charlie shushes them. He squares up with Benny. They stare

each other down for a moment, then Charlie extends his hand.

They shake vigorously, almost too long. Neither wants to let

go first.

Benny laughs dismissively as he pushes his way through the

passing crowd.

Meg sits on the couch and watches television. Charlie comes

in, lugging a backpack.

Charlie gives her a hug and heads out the door.

A head pokes out a clump of bushes. Then another. Eventually

several heads look out from the shrubs.

Squeal Team Six is on the move. All of them in black long-

sleeved "Ryan High School" shirts. Charlie motions to the

others and they slip on balaclavas.

Masks on, they slide around the side of the building.

A brightly-lit side entrance greets them. A large steel door.

Charlie surveys the situation. There's a window two stories

up, slightly open. Just to the side, another story up, a

stone statue protrudes from the roof. A gargoyle.

Staying in the shadows, Charlie grabs a rope from a duffel

bag and ties a hammer onto the end. He tosses the hammer and

rope up and over the statue.

He quickly fashions a harness of sorts and begins the climb.

Once even with the window, Charlie swings side to side,

arcing higher and higher as his momentum builds. He reaches

for the opening, but he's miscalculated.

He's too high, and nearly topples from his harness as he

stretches for the window.

It takes several tries, and multiple adjustments, but

eventually, he grabs the window frame.

It's a tenuous grip, but it's enough.

On the ground, Izzy spots movement and gives a low whistle.

Charlie freezes just as he's about to pull himself up.

The others back into the shadows.There's SINGING. Approaching

below Charlie.

A JANITOR, male, late 30s, has arrived for work. Distracted

by the music in his headphones, he doesn't see Charlie

hanging from the window above the door.

Nor does he see Charlie's SHADOW, cast onto the sidewalk by

the light above.

Charlie makes himself as flat as possible.

As he does, he SLIPS. Charlie lunges with his off-hand to

grab the window. Unfortunately for Charlie, the window begins

to close. Very slowly.

Until, finally, it closes completely. CLICK. The sound of the

lock engaging, meaning Charlie's hand is disengaging.

It gives way, sending Charlie on a large arc back into the

shadowy darkness.

The other team members hold their breath.

The Janitor looks up, but Charlie's arc continues deeper into

the darkness. His cover won't last long, though, as Charlie

reaches the apex on the other side.

Lucky for Charlie, a passing police car, sirens blaring and

lights flashing, catches the Janitor's attention.

The Janitor removes his headphones. Turns to watch the cop

car just as Charlie arches back into the light behind him.

The Janitor looks back at the door. Charlie's in the dark.

Then back to the patrol car. Charlie swings back into the

light, flailing for control.

Finally, Charlie grabs a downspout and holds tight, firm in

the cover of the night.

The Janitor loses interest and turns for the door. He slips

the headphones back on.

Without even bothering to get a key, he opens the door and

disappears inside. The others watch from the bushes.

Charlie lightly bangs his head on the metal downspout.

The team sneaks inside a dark and empty gym.

Toots eyes a basketball net, then throws up an imaginary

shot. Celebrates to a non-existent crowd, which earns a glare

from the others.

A RATTLE of an opening door send the team scurrying into the--

LOCKER ROOM

The team surveys the empty locker room. Football jerseys hang

in each locker, along with pads, helmets, etc. Calista picks

up a jock strap off the floor and displays it.

Charlie leads everyone to the back of the room.The faint

sound of the Janitor singing comes into earshot.

As the sound grows closer, they dash out a side door. Trekkie

knocks over a trash can as he goes.

The noise from the can reverberates throughout the room as

the Janitor enters. He lowers his headphones and grimaces at

the spilled trash can. He looks around suspiciously.

HALLWAY

The team reaches Principal Duggan's office. Charlie tries the

door -- locked.

But Izzy reaches into her pocket and pulls out -- a key.

Izzy opens the door as footsteps sound out in the hallway.

The team scrambles inside and quietly closes the door.

The room is an outer room to Duggan’s office where his

secretary sits. Another door leads to Duggan's office. The

team quietly enters the second door.

INSIDE DUGGAN'S OFFICE

Everyone is jittery as they surround Duggan's desk. Charlie

sets the duffel bag on the desk and is ready to unzip it when

they hear--

The sound of an opening door in the outer office. If they

weren't in panic mode before, they are now.

Charlie, wide-eyed, puts a finger to his lips and points in

the direction of a filing cabinet in the corner.

The door opens, and the Janitor pushes a large wastebasket in

the room. The headphones still on, music barely seeps out and

he sings along, unfortunately.

It takes everything Calista can do to keep from breaking out

in laughter. Charlie gives her a stern look, then recoils in

horror when he notices:

The duffel bag sitting on the desk. He points it out to Izzy.

The Janitor grabs Duggan's wastebasket and empties it. As he

heads for the door, he stops when he notices the bag.

At first he looks as if he's going to open the bag, then to

the great relief of the team, he reconsiders and exits the

office, singing again about his sexiness.

Everyone can breathe again.

When they're certain the Janitor is gone, Charlie unzips the

bag and hands screwdrivers around.
