Briar
Hey, where’s your pal?
Police Officer 1
Oh, he’s not here today. Broke a bone yesterday, won’t be back until “to marrow”. Get it? To and marrow?
Briar
Let’s do some real police work this time and investigate.
Police Officer 1
Fine. (looks around couch)
Briar
Hey Victor? What do you think about the case now?
Victor
(Victor is starting to sweat and begins pacing back and forth as he talks to himself)
Everything is going wrong… So wrong…
Briar
Victor? You ok? It’s not that warm in here…
Police Officer 1
Hey, I actually found something! I’m not quite sure what it is…
(Briar heads over to Police Officer 1)
Briar
That’s more like it, it’s a.. A camera? Where did you find this?
Police Officer 1
(shrugs) It was under the couch.
Victor
(Continuing to talk to himself)
So very wrong… WHAT?!
Briar
Looks like a digital camera. The last picture appears to have been taken in this room. The picture is kind of blurry and a profile… Wait, does this guy look familiar to you?
Police Officer 1
No. Wait… Isn’t that…
Briar
Victor, why are you in this picture?
(Briar, Police Officer 1, and all of extras stare at Victor)
Victor
eh… ehhhh… SHE WAS GOING TO RUIN EVERYTHING!
I HAD TO KILL HER. SHE WAS GOING TO EXPOSE ME… (eyes widen, crazy grin) THOSE STUPID WORTHLESS HOMELESS PEOPLE. THEY NEVER SAW IT COMING. I COULD PLAY WITH THEIR MINDS, AND THEN RUIN THEIR LIVES! BUT HER LITTLE HOBBY WAS GOING TO RUIN IT!!!!!
Briar
Victor, put your hands where we can see them! You are under arrest for the murder of Melissa McCarthy!
Victor
JUST TRY TO CATCH ME! (runs off R, Briar following him)
