ERADICATION (Scene Two)
(We cut to a folder being dropped onto a table. We zoom out to reveal Evan Rand, sitting down in front of the table. The camera zooms out further to reveal Corey, sitting across the table)
EVAN:
His name is Keith Webber. He's wanted in 7 states, most of them quite a ways from here. I don't know how came here, or why... but it's good that you came to me. I'll tell them when I get to work, but he's long gone by now, most likely.
COREY:
What makes you think that, Evan?
EVAN:
Typically, whenever he comes into a city and commits a crime... he usually disappears about four hours afterward.
COREY:
Well, you know, to be honest... I'm a little worried about it.
EVAN:
(Clears throat)
About what?
COREY:
He saw me. He looked right at me and... look, I think he's going to come after me. Make sure I don't talk, you know?
EVAN:
That's unlikely. He wouldn't get caught up on a little thing like that. And even he did... You've got a cop for a friend.
(Corey laughs a little)
COREY:
You're right. I shouldn't worry about something like this. ...So what exactly did he do here, anyway?
EVAN:
Three people dead, gunshot wounds. Looks like he used a Jericho 941 F. 9 millimeter.
COREY:
Did they know him?
EVAN:
We don't know. I would assume so, but, some of these serial killers, are just crazy. No story to it.
(Evan's watch suddenly starts beeping. He presses a button on it, then stands up)
EVAN:
I've gotta get going. I'll give the chief your message, okay?
(Corey stands up as well, and nods his head)
COREY:
Okay, thanks.
(Evan grabs a pair of keys off the table, and walks out of the room)
EVAN:
You can let yourself out. See you later.
COREY:
Bye.
(Evan walks out the door, and we cut to Corey, who just stands there for a moment. He picks up the folder and opens it. He pulls out a piece of paper, and we cut to a close-up of a small box of text, which reads '67 Murders.' He puts the paper back into the folder, and sets it on the table)
COREY:
(Sighing)
Nothing to worry about.
(We cut to Evan, walking down the street. Suddenly, Keith jumps out from around a corner, grabs Evan, and puts his hand around Evan's mouth)
EVAN:
(Muffled)
What do you want with me?
KEITH:
What do you think? I'm here to clean up. I can't have evidence being spread around about me. And once I'm finished with you, I'm going to get rid of your little friend, Smythe.
EVAN:
(Muffled)
Leave Corey alone!
KEITH:
I can't do that, I'm afraid. It's a very rare occasion when a man sees my face, let alone report me to a police officer. I have a reputation to maintain, you know.
(Evan begins to shake and scream muffled thing. Keith puts a pistol into his back, and he stops squirming)
KEITH:
Nothing personal.
(We cut to Corey, leaving Evan's house. Suddenly, police sirens sound in the distance. Corey looks in the direction of the sound, swallows, then walks past the camera. We fade to black)
