Hackett's Quarry poolhouse

Dylan- Sooo, why didn't you come?
Ryan- Where have you been for the past two months?
Juls- And what happened to your eye?
Laura- Long story...
Ryan- Is that what bothers you? Don't you want to worry about the fact she just killed a person?
Juls- Just like you worried about a person with a gun more than the fact that OUR FRIEND JUST LEFT A BLOOD TRAIL AND JUMPED THROUGH THE WINDOW. I'm caring for the physical integrity of a person, because WE DON'T KNOW THE WHOLE STORY YET, and based on what we just witnessed, I don't think she killed someone just for fun...
Ryan- Answer my question.
Laura- We did come... one night early. That was our mistake.

Dungeon of the police station of the county of Northkill, Northkill, New York

Ugh... where the fuck am I? Is this a prison? Why do I have so much blood... AND WHERE IS MAX?! Oh shit, he's been carried to the other cell... is that the creep ass cop from yesterday? Was it yesterday? I've lost track of fucking time really. He's coming, oh shit... I'm totally screwed and I can't even shout or stand up...

Laura- *Sobs* What the fuck...?
Travis- Ma'am... this is gonna get a little messy.
Laura- The fuck... *watches a blood trail explode in Max's cell and falls asleep*.

Interrogation room of the police station of the county of Northkill, Northkill, New York

Travis- *Throws water at her*.
Laura- *Wakes up and realizes she's handcuffed* What have you done to Max?!
Travis- Shut up.
Laura- You can't just-!
Travis- Shut up! This is an interrogation, I ask, you answer. Name.
Laura- Laura Kearney.
Travis- Who are you traveling with? And what is your relationship?
Laura- Max Brinly, he's my boyfriend.
Travis- Where did you headed last night?
Laura- To Hackett's Quarry summer camp, you already know this! What have you done with Max?!
Travis- No! I ask, you answer, that's how this works.
Laura- Fine... what do you want to know?
Travis- Oh... well, uh... why were you going to Hackett's Quarry last night?
Laura- Max and I are camp counselors.
Travis- Oh bullshit! Counselors aren't due until today.
Laura- I told you, we drove up and got there early, we figured we'd just... go to camp.
Travis- Why don't you go to the motel like I told you?!
Laura- Because we were like- way closer to camp and... we're broke.

*Looks at a sheriff badge* Oh so a sheriff huh? Hackett? Like Chris Hackett? Is his whole family involved in whatever this dude wants to do with us?

Laura- Okay, sheriff Hackett. Wait, Hackett like Chris Hackett?
Travis- Don't change the subject.
Laura- What the fuck is going on here man?
Travis- You have no idea what's going on here, not a goddamm clue. You just stepped in some grade A double prime go ahead and... kill yourself cosmic type shit young lady. And your only option is to buckle the fuck up and do what I say. Do you understand?!
Laura- Please... just... stop trying to intimidate me, and tell me what the fuck is going on. I-Is Max alive? I feel like I'm going crazy!
Travis- *Stands up*.
Laura- What?
Travis- *Takes off her handcuffs and takes her back to the cell* Let's go.
Laura- *Enters the cell pushed by Travis*.
Max- Hey! Hey, you, asshole!

Oh, thank god he's alive...

Max- You wanna tell us what the fuck is going on?!
Laura- Max!
Max- I know you hear me!
Travis- *Leaves*.
Max- Fuck!
Laura- Max! Are you okay?
Max- Yeah... I mean, I'm... I'm kind of all mixed up but... more or less intact I think. Laura?
Laura- Yeah?
Max- Why am I naked?
Laura- What?
Max- I mean, after we got attacked... the next thing I know is that I'm waking up in a jail cell and you're gone, and now you're back again an-and I'm super naked and there's blood and... stuff everywhere... I mean, what the fuck happened?
Laura- I was kinda hoping YOU could tell me what happened...
Max- I feel like I remember bits and pieces but... none of it makes any sense.
Laura- Yeah, same. I feel like... were we drugged? I feel like maybe we were drugged...
Max- By a cop? Do they do that? Who does this guy think he is?
Laura- Sheriff of Northkill, apparently.
Max- Northkill?
Laura- Yeah. Max!
Max- What?
Laura- Did you even look at the map? Hackett's Quarry, Northkill, that's the town.
Max- Oh.
Laura- And it gets better... I gotta look at his name badge and- *hears someone entering*.
Travis- *Gives Max some clothes* Get dressed.
Laura- What's he given you?
Max- I'm not gonna be the guest of honor of fashion week, I can tell you that much.
Travis- Hey! Did I say you could talk to eachother?
Laura- Sorry sir, we'll be quiet.
Max- We will?
Laura- Max...
Max- Hey, what'd you do with my real girlfriend?
Travis- *Approaches to Max's cell* Alright buddy, hands through the bars. Come on *puts him the handcuffs*. Your turn, let's go.
Max- I'm not going anywhere, we can talk right here.
Travis- Come on.
Max- Hey, hey!
Travis- *Grabs him* Let's-
Max- Get the fuck off!
Travis- Come on, move! Good boy *takes him*.
Max- *Tries to get the cop off him*.
Travis- Hey! Stop struggling.
Laura- Hey! Leave him alone!
Max- Yeah, leave me alone asshole.
Travis- Both of you, shut up!
Max- Fuck you!
Travis- I said shut up! *Takes him to the interrogation room*.
Laura- Hey! Hey, you can't treat us like this! You're hurting him, hey! *Smashes the bars*.
