Rory, Sarah and Maisie all burst into the room.
Rory: "We heard gunshots.... Is everything... * sees Ben's body*... What the fuck?!"
He steps back from James, Laura and Ellie.
Rory: "Would you mind telling me what the hell i'm looking at?"
James: "It's..."
Peter enters from another door.
Peter: "Fuck is he dead? Aaron is dead, are you guys OK...? James did you? Shoot him?"
*He says this as he noticed the bullet holes in his body*
Rory: "Start fucking talking?!"
Laura: "No, he..."
Maisie: "He what?"
Rory: "Oh my god... It's you three?"
Ellie: "What the fuck are you talking about?"
James: "Like she'd kill her own parents?"
Sarah: "Like you'd kill your ex girlfriend?"
James: "What the fuck?"
James points his gun toward Rory, Maisie and Sarah.
Peter: "James... Don't do this."
James: "I didn't fucking kill anybody, not Amy, not this guy either... Not anyone..."
Maisie: "Then who did?"
Laura: "It's somebody here."
Rory: "James..."
James fires a warning shot. Everyone shouts.
James: "Shut up!"
Laura grabs Ellie, and moves away.
Rory: "This, makes sense. But you must've had a partner..."
James pants in shock and anger...
Rory: "Pete?"
Peter: "Me?"
Laura: "You gave him that gun quite easily?"
Peter: "Get fucked"
Maisie: "Try and be more convincing at least?"
Rory edges towards Laura and Ellie.
James: "If i was a murderer, would I do this?"
He passes the gun to Laura.
Rory: "James... Just back up... Everyone, back up, where we can all see each other..."
Laura: "Me and Ellie will go get the police..."
Rory: "OK, pass me the gun and you two get off, get Chief Harry..."
Laura: "Okay, okay..."
Everyone watches the exchange. Rory takes the gun.
Rory: "You two go, quickly... Get help"
Laura: "We're going..."
Rory: "Actually wait..."
They both stop and turn.
Ellie: "What?"
Everyone waits with baited breath for what he says next.
Rory: "On second thoughts, let's just... All go together."
Maisie: "What difference does it make?"
Sarah: "How are we sure the killer isn't still out there, it's nobody in the this room, and this is all a big waste of time?"
Maisie grabs the gun from Rory's hand.
Maisie: "Because i'm the killer."
She smirks sadistically.
She fires at Ellie, dropping her to the floor. Peter turns and runs, she fires at him, hitting his back, he falls.
Maisie: "Wow i'm good at this!"
Rory: "*grabs Laura* RUN!"
They run out through the library door, and see Aaron's body at the end of the corridor. The continue jogging, looking back over their shoulder to see if Maisie is in pursuit.
End of Chapter 17.
