Previous.

EXT. PATIO - DAWN

Hunter in pajamas with mug of coffee, watching a roadrunner seeming to be looking back at him from the rock wall. It finally scurries away. Hunter swallows the last sip, heads to the door to the kitchen.

INT. KITCHEN

Hunter enters, sets mug on counter, gets tomatoes, mushrooms, onion, spinach, cheese and eggs from refrigerator, puts them on center island, stops, surprised when he hears a CAT'S MEOW. He steps into hallway.

INT. HALLWAY

Hunter stares down the hall at the open door to the guest room from which another MEOW comes. He walks slowly to the open door, is startled when a CAT runs out and past him down the hall and disappears through the cat door in the door to the garage. He turns back to the guest room, looks in from the doorway.

INT GUEST ROOM

Hunter in the doorway stares at Tom under the covers in bed, still, eyes closed, his arms crossed at wrists, hands on his chest.

HUNTER: Tom. Tom.

He enters, moves desk chair to bedside, sits.

HUNTER (CONT.) Tom. Tom.

FAINT MEOW.

He holds a finger to Tom's nostrils, searches for pulse at wrist, then at carotid artery. He stares at Tom, finally stands, leaves into hall.
