Blood Stains ▪︎ Scream (1 - 4) x Hp wtm [On Hold]

I was Killed by a Garage Door?!

Dewey's jeep makes it's way down a long, winding road. Headlights illuminate the thick woods that line each side. Following behind them at a discreet distance is a huge white news van. Dewey comes to the end of the road. It dead ends at STU'S HOUSE which sits alone in a clearing, big and ominous with no neighbors in sight. A huge old home just ripe for a night of fun and terror. From the looks of things the party has already started. Music is BLARING. A few KIDS hang on the porch.

INT. STU'S LIVING ROOM

A big room with KIDS sprinkled throughout-smoking, drinking, cutting up. A stereo BLASTS music while the TV airs around the clock killer coverage. Tatum and Nicolle enter with groceries. Various FRIENDS greet them. TATUM Caterer's here. The girls carry bags through a hallway that opens up onto an enormous kitchen. Stu and some GUYS are leaning over the sink drinking beer through a funnel. TATUM That's mature. STU Where you guys been? We had to start without you. The news van pulls up and parks unobtrusively on the side of the road a few feet down from the front yard.

INT. NEWS VAN

Kenny and Gale move around inside the van. Kenny hovers over a control panel complete with video monitors.

KENNY: What's the plan?

GALE: Prep the compact, we'll hide it in a window and tape all of tonight's festivities.

Kenny picks up a compact video camera the size of his fist. He checks its battery pack.

KENNY: The control board's glitched. You know we can't carry a live picture.

GALE: What's the delay?

KENNY: About thirty seconds.

GALE: As long as it records I don't give a shit. We're not doing a remote.

"Ah yes, stalking teenagers, the age old passtime." Nicolle said and Gale hit her head and said, "I know it was wrong, but... shut up." Nicolle sent her a cheeky wink.

Gale slides open the side door and steps out into the darkness, not seeing the FIGURE that stands behind her. A hand grabs her shoulder, Gale's heart stops as she spins around to find... Dewey, smiling, extremely pleased to see her.

DEWEY: Evening, ma'am.

GALE: Deputy...good evening.

DEWEY: What brings you out to these parts?

GALE: You never know when or where a story will break.

DEWEY: Not much story here. Just a bunch of kids cutting loose.

GALE: Then what are you doing here?

DEWEY: Keeping an eye on things. Checking the place out.

GALE: Mind if I join you?

Dewey considers for a whole two seconds.

DEWEY: Not at all.

Sirius groans, "C'mon man!" Dewey shrugged, "If it makes you feel better my feeling change drastically." Sirius makes a face and then shrugs.

Gale leans in the van, grabs the camera from Kenny's hand, and throws it in her bag. She gives Kenny a wink.
