A knock comes at the door and another POLICEMAN enters.
The constable stands up, moving over to the doorway to
converse with him in harsh whispers.
POLICEMAN
We cant find the money - theres
no trace, anything.
Keiths smile grows.
The constable gestures towards the recording camera on the
corner of the wall, but the policeman shakes his head and
shrugs helplessly.
POLICEMAN
Weve got nothing to hold him on.
The constable fists his hands by his side. He turns slowly
to stare at Keith, gritting his teeth.
Keith, smiling, stands up and walks to the doorway,
somehow having gotten out of his handcuffs. He tosses the
cuffs to the constable and gives him a salute as he walks
out the door.
IN THE HALLWAY
As the door closes behind him, Keith collapses against the
hallway next to the door. He breathes a relieved sigh, his
hands shaky.
He gathers himself and walks away.
INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - MORNING
SUPER: A WEEK LATER
Keith walks into a hospital room. A young GIRL sleeps on
the bed tucked into the covers, wearing a standard
hospital gown that dwarfs her small frame. There is a
chair next to the bed.
Keith walks to her side and bends, kissing her on the
forehead and smoothing her hair back.
The girl wakes up with the action, blinking her eyes
sleepily.
Keith smiles softly at her and drags the chair closer,
sitting down and holding her hand in both of his.
GIRL
Mommy says you paid for the
operation.
Keith pauses, then smiles.

KEITH
Dont worry about that. Ive got
something to show you.
Keith withdraws his hands and takes something out of his
pocket; a coin.
Keith manipulates it between his hands a few times, and it
disappears. He reaches forward and produces the coin from
behind the girls ear. Keith presents it to the girl with
a flourish.
The girl squeals and claps her hands, reaching out for the
coin.
GIRL
How did you do that?
Keith smiles.
KEITH
Magic.
THE END.
