It cuts to a shot of the low morning light levels on the motorway.

Laura's car heads to work.

She pulls up at the factory.

Laura: "Isn't that Jane's car?"

Ellie: "Yeah, why's she not parked up?"

Laura: "Well the car park doesn't open until 7am so it makes sense"

Ellie: "Oh yeah true, oops"

Laura: "Idiot"

Ellie: "Erm, ouch?"

Laura: "Hehe sorry"

*They both giggle*

They park up alongside Jane's car and head inside. Laura swipes her card.

Laura: "The lights are on"

Ellie: "Cool cool"

They step inside, and head into their office room.

Laura: "Her stuff is in here, maybe she's gone to the toilet?"

Ellie: "Yeah you can go on ahead and see, i'll just get everything booted up... Oh that's odd, Jane's computer is unplugged."

Laura: "Yeah maybe she just doesn't want to be a slave to technology so she's taking a stand *she says sarcastically*"

Ellie: "Haha, maybe. Hey Ben's computer is on, I don't think i saw his car?"

Laura: "No I didn't either, maybe they've... both gone, to the... toilet?" (She doubts herself)

Laura walks on to the toilets.

Ellie: "*Notices the emails on Ben's PC*...What?"

She reads through, and her eyes open wide.

She shakes and shouts.

Ellie: "Laura! Jane!"

Laura: "What what's up? Nobody is here still?"

Ellie: "It's Ben, It's Ben, IT'S BEN!"

Laura: "What? What's Ben?"

Ellie: "THE FUCKING KILLER!"

Laura: "What? How do you know?"

Ellie: "Look..."

Laura reads the police report.

Laura: "What the... Why is this on here?"

Ellie: "Laura... what the fuck do we do???"

Laura: "I'm sure there's a logical explanation for this... Somewhere"

Ellie: "I'm going to find Jane"

Laura: "Okay i'm with you"

They walk down the hall, and notice the makeshift barricade outside the main office.

Ellie: "What's all this?"

They step into the main office, seeing all the mess and the smashed window.

Laura: "What has happened here???"

Ellie: "I don't know but i don't like it i want to go home."

Laura: "Wait, Jane is here somewhere, i'm sure there is a reason for this?"

Ellie: "Laura i'm scared for my life, i've felt weird vibes all day from this"

Laura: "I'm not going without seeing Jane, she's here"

Ellie: "Okay, just shout for her and let's go. Who says she's even here!"

Laura: "If she's not here why's her car and all her other shit still here?"

Ellie: "I DON'T KNOW, Ok? This doesn't make any sense"

They walk down the stairs towards the production line and continue talking.

Ellie: "I am 2 seconds away from running..."

Laura: "Please, just calm down, i'm here"

Ellie: "This isn't right we're ALONE here... Jane is not here I know it..."

Laura: "Careful... *steps back from the oil* Go this way"

They walk down the aisles and find the phone on the floor with a blood trail.

Ellie: "Laura WHAT IS THIS???"

Laura: "Ellie, this is blood..."

They look up, and see the floor covered in drying blood"

Ellie: "Laura..."

They walk closer and see Jane's corpse, crushed and mangled. Ellie falls back into a machine, Laura turns to grab her.

Laura: "We are getting out of here NOW, call the police."

Ellie: "*Tries not to vomit*... I can't do this Laura..."

Laura: "Come on."

They run to the exit, then the phone rings in the office.

Ellie: "DON'T."

Laura: "Ellie, i'm going to."

Laura picks up the phone hastily.

Laura: "Hello?"

GF: "Hello, Laura"

Laura: "Go on, where are you, pussy?"

GF: "I'm keeping my distance. Admiring my work from afar. What do ya think?"

Laura: "Absolutely sickening, you know she was going to propose to her girlfriend? They were going to buy a house next year, and this is just, what, a game for you?"

GF: "I'm getting good aren't I? I've still got a few more i want to knock off yet"

Laura: "You'll never get away with this..."

GF: "Won't I? You know it's funny, Jane said something similar last night. Funny how that works isn't it?"

Laura: "Well. *gagging on air*, she's not wrong. You, fuckhead, are going to suffer the most from this."

GF: "Oh I suffered quite a bit last night, I was scared they wouldn't let me out in time to get the job done."

Laura: "...Ben?"

GF: "I'll see you soon."

*Call ends*

Ellie: "Well?"

Laura: "I think... It's Ben"

Ellie: "Fuck Fuck FUCK, what do we do?"

Laura: "Let's head back to the station and tell them everything, call the police on the way"

Ellie: "I've already called..."

Laura: "Okay good, let's just calm down, gather ourselves, and make sure we're safe at the station"

Ellie: "Jane..."

Laura: "Come on..."

They leave the office. And get in Laura's car.
