Scream: Max Reed

The Motive

Max started to wake up and his vision was blurry but it was coming back. He felt a headache from where Amber hit his head. He touched the back of his head and he felt something wet, he saw blood on his hand. Max looked around the room and saw that it was empty and he saw Mindy unconscious. He rushed to her and checked for a pulse, and luckily she was still alive. Max knew he had to get help so he pulled out his phone and called one of his contacts and he waited for them to answer.

"Max ?" Deputy Vinson asked.

"Yeah it's me. I need some help." Max said.

"What is it ?" Deputy Vinson asked.

"Do you remember where Stu Macher's house is ?" Max asked.

"Yeah why ?" Deputy Vinson asked.

"The killer is here. She stabbed Mindy but luckily she still has a pulse. You need to get here right away. Bring back up just in case because you know how Ghostface is." Max frantically explained and advised.

"Okay. Stay calm. Help is on the way. I'll call the hospital for assistance." Deputy Vinson instructed.

"Thanks. I hope you get here in time." Max said in relief.

"Good luck kid. Stay safe." Deputy Vinson instructed.

"Thanks." Max said as he hung the phone.

Max slowly walking out of the living room to see if there were any other survivors. He stopped in his tracks when he saw Richie holding his knife in Sam's stomach. He also saw Amber holding a gun to Sidney Prescott's head. He was about to sneak away until Richie noticed him.

"Don't even think about leaving Max. If you move a single muscle we will kill them." Richie threatened. Max put his hands up showing that he surrendered.

"Whatever weapons you have, throw them to the ground. Your phone too." Richie demanded. Max took out his phone, pepper spray, and taser from his pockets and threw them across the floor and put his hands back up.

"Now walk into that kitchen. No funny business." Richie instructed. Max nodded and walked into kitchen standing in front of the counter.

"Someone has to save the franchise. You see, no one has made a great stab movie since the first one. Not really." Richie said as he and Amber pushed Sidney and Sam against the counter.

"Hey, baby, you want to get the very ex-Mrs. Riley ?" Richie asked.

Max looked between the two in shock. Not only was Amber one of the killers, but she also cheated on him.

"Yeah, I do." Amber said with a smile.

Sidney tried to run to the knife's but held a gun to her face.

"Hey, hey !" Richie said making Sidney stop in her tracks. Max stood in front of her, trying to guard her.

"Sidney Prescott. You know, I'm a really big fan." Richie said with a smile.

"Go fuck your self." Sidney said with a snarl.

"You see the last stab movie ?" Richie asked ignoring what she said.

"Not really a fan of scary movies." Sidney said.

"That checks out. Anyway, it sucked balls. Because nobody takes the true fans seriously. Not really. They just laugh at us. And why ? Because we love something ? We're just a joke to them ? How can fandom be toxic ? It's about love. They don't fucking understand that these movies are important to people." Richie explained his motive.

"Richie..." Sam tried to intervene but Richie held a gun to her face.

"And we're going to help them. Hollywood's totally fucking out of ideas, so we decided we'd give them some source material to follow. You know ? Bring it back to basics. Cause that's how you make a great stab movie, Sam. Based on actual events." Richie finished explaining. Then they saw Gale dragged in the kitchen by Amber.
