Scene: A murder.
Man Number One: "I came as soon as
I got the call."
Man Number Two: "What do you think happened, Mal?"
Mal: "I think it's that serial killer, Rich. It's
the third murder in a week."
Rich: "Jeez. Let's get this mess cleaned up, it's making me sick."
Mal: "Good with me."
-Later-
Rich:
"Check it out, Mal. We're on the news."
Reporter on TV: "Mister Martin, do you think it's that serial killer that has
been on the loose?
Mal: "Well, I think it probably is. There's all the clues, "Happiness" written on the wall, you know."
Richard:
"We would like to give you some tips on keeping yourself safe. First, keep your doors and windows locked. It's common knowledge.
Next, keep your tools locked up. The killer likes to use other people's tools. If you leave the house, don't go anywhere alone."
Reporter:
"Thank you, mister Evans."
Mal: "Let's hope that people will follow our tips."
The next day, another murder
scene.
Mal: "Jeez! It looks like the serial killer again."
Richard: "You don't seem surprised."
Mal: "Don't I?
Well, anyway, it looks like we need to bring in the FBI"
Richard: "We should."
Richard takes a phone out of his
pocket and dials.
Richard: "Hello, Sergeant Pepper? We need to bring in a unit. How fast can you get here?"
Sgt.
Pepper: "We can get there in about an hour."
Richard: "Okay, great. See you then.
Richard hangs up. One hour later...
Sgt.
Pepper: "We're here, Richard. What do you need me to do?"
Richard: "We need you to track this guy down. The only clues
we have are these paintbrushes. Do you think you could get a fingerprinting?"
Sgt. Pepper: "It's wood, so it'll be tough,
but yeah, we'll try."
Richard: "Thanks."
Another murder scene.
Mal: "Jeez! What the heck is with this guy?!?
It's the sixth murder in two weeks!"
Richard: "Dang! We better find this guy fast."
Mal: "I think I know where he might
strike next. Come on."
Mal and Richard drive to Mal's house.
Mal: "Look at this, Richie! Footprints. I watered
my garden a day or two ago, so they showed up pretty well."
Richard: "It looks like the tread of your old shoes."
Mal:
"It does, doesn't it? Odd..."
Richard: "You got some new ones to replace your old brown shoes a few days ago, didn't you?
Mal:
"Uhh... well..."
Richard: "And you didn't seem surprised at the last few murder scenes we visited..."
Mal pulls
out a knife and stabs Richard.
Richard: "WHAT THE HELL?!?"
Mal: "You know too much, Richie. I have to make sure
you can't tell anyone."
Richard collapses, dead.
Mal goes inside, washes the blood off the knife, and puts it
away. He then dials the police.
Mal: "Hello? Police? Please come as fast as you can! Someone has killed my partner,
Richard!"
The End
