The Murder That Brought Us Together// Klance Castle Au

Act 2

ACT TWO

[INT. UPPER WEST SIDE APARTMENT - DAY]

[Lance and Keith enter the living room, we see it's been trashed. Hunk and Pidge are with the victim.]

HUNK

Victim's name's Darcy Cho. Second year lawyer at a firm downtown.

PIDGE

Multiple stab wounds. Just like the last one.

HUNK

Neighbor found the door open and called the super. This is what they found.

[Keith looks at the victim on the red flannel cloth.]

LANCE

The staging is exactly the same.

PIDGE

Yeah. When they saw what they had, West Side boys gave us a call.

KEITH

Looks like she put up a fight. Defensive wounds on her forearms.

PIDGE

Paraphernalia's the same as the other murder.

[He holds up an evidence bag containing a pouch and charm.]

PIDGE (CONT'D)

And I found another charm in her mouth.

KEITH

Anything back from CSU on the other scene?

HUNK

Candle's basic paraffin, found in any bodega. Figure it's gonna be the same with this one. Cloth is a common red flannel. Glass bowl, made in China.

[Keith looks at the bowl with the blood in it.]

KEITH

What about the blood?

PIDGE

Chicken blood.

[Keith picks up a shredded Chanel purse, lying on the floor next to Darcy, with her pen.]

KEITH

Maybe she used this purse to defend herself.

LANCE

We know he hasn't found what he's looking for.

HUNK

How do you know?

LANCE

The charm in her mouth. He still needs the spirits to guide him.

HUNK

Chapter 10.

KEITH

Find out what you can about Darcy. See if she knew our first victim. I want to know how these murders are connected.

PIDGE

Right.

[09:36, INT. MARLOWE PREP, PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE - DAY]

[Veronica enters in uniform, carrying a large calculus book.]

VERONICA

Mr. Simmons. You wanted to see me?

MR. SIMMONS

Veronica, I'm afraid we have some bad news.

VERONICA

What? No. Is it my brother? Did he get shot?

[Katelyn rises from a chair, teary-eyed.]
