*The scene opens with the group standing around Penrose, Hayden has a phone in his hand and sirens can be heard approaching the area.*

Hayden: The police are on the way, Detective.

Penrose: Under…stood.

Zack: What's gonna happen with us?

Hayden: I'm sure we'll be taken in for questioning as well.

Ryan: Seriously? We've already had to deal with excess questions. No offense, detective.

*Penrose raises his hand and Gestures towards Ryan that no offense was taken.*

Andrew: But we're not gonna get in any trouble thanks to the Detective's plan, right?

Hayden: If we all keep the same story we should be seen as victims acting in self defense.

Ozzy: Well, looks like we're gonna have to start telling it soon.

*Ozzy looks over and sees a police car pulling into the area they are at. The car drives up to them and an officer steps out of the car with his weapon drawn.*

Officer: Hands up! I want all of you to put your hands up now!

*The officer quickly turns on his radio and begins explaining the situation.*

Officer: Dispatch this is Officer Reeds, we've got a potential 10-71. Multiple suspects are still around.

Dispatch: Condition of the victim?

Officer: Victim is alive, but is bleeding excessively.

Dispatch: Medical is on the way.

Officer: 10-4

*The officer turns the radio off and continues with the group.*

Officer: I said put your hands up!

*All of the group finally put their hands above their heads and the Officer becomes less tense as a result.*

Officer Reeds: What happened here?

Isaiah: This man kidnapped us!

Officer Reeds: Did he take anyone else?

Bryce: We aren't sure. He took us eight as one big group.

Officer Reeds: Is he armed?

Hayden: He was. I managed to disarm him and during the fight he lunged at me so I fired.

Officer Reeds: Where is the weapon now?

*Hayden points towards Penrose's revolver then puts his hand back above his head.*

Officer Reeds: Is it still loaded?

Hayden: I'm not sure. I only shot once.

Officer Reeds: Can I trust you to slide the revolver over to me?

Hayden: Yes sir.

*Heyden walks over to the revolver with his hands still above his head before placing his foot on top of the revolver and sliding it towards Officer Reeds.*

Officer Reeds: Nobody move!

*Officer Reeds bends down, picks up the revolver, and walks back towards his car and sets it inside.*

Riley: Are you gonna arrest us?

Officer Reeds: As of right now, most of you are simply detained.

Riley: Most? Who isn't?

Officer Reeds: I'm placing your friend here, who shot this man, under arrest.

Riley: What!? But it was in self defense.
