THIRTY ONE ; MERCY

As the night went on, the alcohol dwindled, and so did the mood. It was getting to be late into the night, so everyone's drunken energy had faded by then, and they all sat in the livingroom silently.

Tom had gotten ahold of Jennifer's copy of the Stab 3 script. He was going through the script with a cigarette in his mouth, tearing out a page every once in a while angrily.

The others watched him rip a page out and tear it into so several small pieces and then throw them up in the air like confetti. "Is this a wrap party, or is this a wrap party?" Tom said around the cigarette. Jennifer jumped back and Molly just stared at Tom with a "are you serious" look on her face. Tom turned back down to the script as Dewey walked into the room. "Scene 34 - Maureen's Murder Flashback," He started to tear that page out as well.

"I never liked that scene." Jennifer shook her head.

Joey glanced over at her. "That's 'cause you weren't in it." He whispered to the actress as Tom threw the pieces above them.

"Scene 40 through 47 - The Lipton House Flashbacks-"

"Tom, stop it." Jane suddenly said, cutting him off. Tom just stared at her while tearing the pages. "You're freaking me out. Two people are dead-"

"Freaking you out?" Tom said, grinning as if he thought her words were ridiculous. "Give the professional act a rest. You know you like the violence, the thrill of not knowing who's next. And you've been making heart eyes at a serial killer all night."

Jane just glared down at him. "You're drunk." She muttered, turning to walk away.

Tom called after her in the same tone. "I'm coping."

"Jane!" Angelina called after her worriedly.

They watched Jane walk outside through the glass backdoor angrily. Billy stood up from where he'd been sitting beside Stu and Molly on the sofa.

"I'll go get her." He said, shooting a glare at Tom before he followed Jane outside.

Tom just watched him leave and then scoffed slightly. "I bet you Jane fought and clawed for Molly's part."

"They chose Jane because she has a similar acting style to Winona Ryder, Tom." Joey said matter of factly.

"Yeah, come on. You know this." Christopher added.

"Does no one else find it suspicious that she was one of the first choices?" Tom said in arguement. "That she was so eager to be in a movie based on real life murders? Didn't Mickey Alteri and Georgie Walters literally go to Windsor collage for the soul reason of killing people? Listen, everytime these killings have happened so far, its always been someone that everyone knows."

"What are you saying, Tom?" Angelina asked anxiously.

"I'm saying if that's how it's happening this time; Jane's my bet."

Everyone stared at him for a moment, and then Christopher let out a loud laugh.

"Jane?" He repeated in between laughs. "You think Jane Barbonda is the killer?"

"Yeah, why's it so fucking funny, dickwad?" Tom glared.

"Have you even met her!? I just, I can't-" Christopher went into another fit of laughter.
