Joe Everyman and Lex Sense... isn't it funny that you think think throwing me through a car window could keep me down...
It's it funny that you two thought that stalking my wife was a way to get into my head...
You two don't realize all the things I've been through? You've never seen me leap from the triple cage or be powerbombed off the top of a semi-truck have you? You two must of missed where Steve actually threatened to take my wife right? You couldn't have possibly seen that, otherwise you'd know sending her letters andd burning our picture was pointless and quite idiotic.
Joe Everyman, the magical, the amazing American Hero who has more losses than any other person the roster... thinks that he and Sense are going to run away with this victory.... how laughable is that? That just cracks me up. You've never done anything remotely close to justifying being in the NCW Hall of Fame, you've never been world champion, won Road to the Gold, Won the Coliseum... hell you're ****ing stupid ass brother got in one before you did in that area! You... you've done... absolutely nothing outside of picking up some National titles... that's nice and all.. but come on, that's nowhere near the level of DDK and I.
Well I insulted Joe.. so cue Maria walking into the scene and telling him how great he is and how wrong I am.
Also cue Joe Everyman saying that we think he's being carried in this Tag Team when none of us have said anything of the sort.
Though I will admit, seeing Joe hanging around Lex is pretty cute, watching him trying to act all intimidating and mean, watching him put on his big boy voice and try to be scary, it's almost like he went to the Christian Bale school of acting with that "mean voice" of his. He'll probably say a curse word or two also to make the promo seem extra serious too. That's the key to telling when Joe Everyman is mad and he thinks a match or situation is extra important you know... he'll start cussing. It's so adorable.
What do you think is going to happen at Sovereign? Me and DDK are going to be shaking in our boots too much to even walk to the ring just because we have Lex and Everyman walking around snarling up their noses and talking in baritone? -laughs- Come on... I wouldn't have been inducted into three separate Hall of Fame if I ran away somebody played the tough guys card and told me they were going to "destroy me by ripping off my head and spitting down my neck".
But you know what... just go right ahead and do it if it makes you feel big and tough, I actually beg you to. I also beg you to take every word I say and spin it back at me and I absolutely beg you to mock the promo that is going to follow this monologue, in your typical "I'm Joe Everyman so everything you say doesn't matter" fashion.
Speaking of true Joe Everyman fashion... go ahead and call my wife a whore while you're at it.
It isn't like you haven't used that one a million times already or anything.
You both seem to think that me and DDK are going to roll over for you, you seem to think that you're the future here and we're the old news, as if it's some ass half backwards thinking that just because me and Curt are former world champions we're washed up.... -laughs- Now that is rich... You speak of the future like it's just going to be handed to you or like it's some kind of divine destiny... hey look another Joe Everyman-ism, yet you fail to realize that you're not looking at the past of NCW, you're not looking at NCW's former legacy... you're staring right into the present, and after you see us walking over your faces, you'll be seeing us heading into the future.
That's ok, think what you want though... because it'll make it that much more fun to break you both.
It'll be that much more fun to completely dominate you inside that ring..
You two have no idea what me and DDK have in store for you Sunday..
You two have no idea what we're willing to do to crush you..
You two don't even realize that you're riding into.... THE DANGER ZONE.
[The opening video and credits play to the sounds of Kenny Loggins “Danger Zone” before the title card flashes on screen displaying the “Knitington PDA” logo.]
[It fades away as we see Adam Knite walking into screen for the opening scene. He carries a with him a box full of delicious donuts, he’s surprised to see that the door is unlocked so he cautiously pushes it open and slowly walks in. Adam jumps back at the sight he finds before him... a tall fat man with long black hair (an obvious wig) standing there fixing some magazines on the table. The fat man waves at him cutely (aka disgustingly) as Adam turns and heads into the main office area where Will Washington sits behind the desk with is feet propped up.]
Adam: Why in the hell is there a fat little person outside in the waiting room?
Will: That’s our new personal assistant, Consuela.
Adam: Consuela?! It’s a guy.
Will: Apparently he’s pretty big in the LARPing community, Consuela is his Elf character’s name.
“Consuela”: I’m a Elf Ranger with a secondary Hunter skill, I am the leader of the Wood Elves of Rabsloft, thank you.
Adam: What’s your real name?
“Consuela”: I can’t tell you that, otherwise you’d have control over me.
Will: It’s Sam Hutchinson, it was on his resume.
“Consuela”: NOOO! Now I’m bound to do your bidding for eternity!
[Adam stares the man with his jaw dropped almost touching the floor, dumbfounded. He turns and looks at Will while raising an eyebrow out of complete shock and puzzlement, before his face suddenly turns serious and his words are precise.]
Adam: Get rid of it.
Will: I can’t, we could really use his help and he was the only person who applied for the job.
Adam: Since when do we need a personal assistant!?
Will: We talked about this already! Ever since we wound up hog tied in the back of turnip truck last week because we didn’t have anybody to watch the door for us when you decided we should trespass in Farmer Mortimer’s barn!
Adam: Oh, come on you’re still harping on that? We got out just fine.
Will: I was about five minutes away from getting told I had a “purdy mouth”!
Adam: You cry about everything... “oh, I stubbed my toe”, “Ouch, I got a sun burn”, “Some big redneck hillbilly wants to sow his seed in me.” Does it ever end with you?
[From around the corner “Consuela” walks into the room carrying a feather duster. He begins to dust off some bookshelves and we can see him keeping his ear towards Will and Adam, ease dropping on their conversation. Adam turns and looks suspiciously at him before turning back to Will.]
Adam: Get rid of it.
Will: I can’t, I payed her in advance.
Adam: WHY WOULD YOU DO SOM.....
[Adam is quickly interrupted by a knocking on their wall as Kelly walks into the office area unannounced. Adam quickly lets his rage subside as she sees her. He smiles and tries to play it cool.]
Adam: Well if it isn’t the lovely Detective Fox. What brings you here?
Kelly: Can the smooth act Adam. I’m here on serious business.
Will: What’s up Kel? Anything we can solve for you? Again?
Kelly: Look if you two don’t want the money or whatever, I’ll just go back to the station and tell Chief Gib that you two refsued, no big deal.
Adam: Wait what? It’s that serious? Gib agreed to let us help?
Kelly: He specifically said to get you two involved. This is pretty huge... who in the hell is that!?
Will: That’s Consuela.
Kelly: What is it?
Will: Our new personal assistant. She’s going to make sure nothing like last week is going to happen to us.
Kelly: You mean when you...
Will: YES ok! Lets not talk about the incident any further!
Adam: If we can stop ogling the lovely Miss Consuela for two minutes... Kelly, are you going to tell us what this is about?
Kelly: I’ll let the Chief fill you in, come with me.
Adam: Ok, but you do know this means I’m going to just keeps guessing until you tell me...
Kelly: You better not Adam...
[We fade out briefly as the scenes change, we’re now outside the Dallas Police headquarters where Kelly steps out of her car and opens the door for Adam and Will, Adam is still talking and Kelly is obviously incredibly annoyed at it already.]
Adam: Is it the annual bake sale? He wants me to bake my world famous pecan sandies?!!
Kelly: No.
Adam: It better not be about cleaning his pool again, I told him the first time... I didn’t put those 100 pounds of Jello packets in there.
Kelly: No.
Will: Good, because he totally did.
Adam: Shut up Dude! What about my baseball card collection, is he going to let me into the attic to finally get them?
Will: That would be a nice olive branch.
Kelly: Would you stop it!? We’re here, you can go in and ask him yourselves!
Adam: What about....
Kelly: I will strangle you if you finish that sentence Adam!
Adam: Geez Kel, fine.
[Adam and Will leave the exasperated Kelly standing there as they head up the stairs of the HQ.]
Adam: Dude what crawled up her butt?
Will: Man I don’t know... It couldn’t of been that game of 21.. hundred questions you two just played.
Adam: I know right.
[Adam and Will continue up the steps and bound into the Polic Station which is severly lacking in activity. Usually there is an abundance of hustle and bustle inside the station but today it is almost completely empty. Adam and Will obviously stop in their tracks as they see this, instantly knowing something is up. The two look around, finally catching Zelda sitting in the front area playing on a brand new Nintendo 3DS. Adam and Wil jump over the back of the small sofa and land on each side of her.]
Adam: Zelda why in the hell are you not in school?
Zelda: I got sent home again... so Daddy told me to wait out here, he didn’t want to see me until it was time for lunch.
Adam: Z you’re better than this, you know...
Zelda: Adam don’t lecture me, I’m going to get enough of that when Dad finds out that I hacked the school grade books.
Will: What? YOU were making a low enough grade that you had to break in and change it?
Zelda: ME?! No! I was changing all of Stephen Greyston’s grades to Fs for calling me “Xena”.. really... me and “Warrior” princess... puh-lease.
Adam: Whatever, just try to stay out of trouble....
Zelda: You’re one to be talking, I know about the “Farmer Mortimer” incident last week.... speaking of which.. are you ok Will I heard you...?
Will: Lets not talk about it!
Adam: Z, any clue on what you’re old man is going on about today? Apparently it’s big enough that he asked for Knitington personally.
Zelda: Yeah it’s pretty huge, you know that serial killer, The Every Sense Killer?
Will: That sicko who has been raping and murdering young women across the state?
Zelda: Yeah him, well apparently he’s moved into the Dallas area... body was found, they say it’s him. Don’t tell Daddy I said a word, ok I’m in enough trouble.
Adam: Thanks Z, come on Will lets go burst in there and put on a show.
[Adam and Will fist bump before they jump back over the back of the couch and head down the hall to the meeting room where Kelly is standing in front of the door tapping her foot, obviously waiting on them. She glares at them as she opens the door and demands they go inside with a hard point of her index finger in that direction. Adam and Will slide into the room full of cops, Kelly comes in after them closing the door. Adam and Will take a quick look around the room before they see Eric Hardy standing in front of a board with a pointer in his hand showing some pictures and evidence.]
Hardy: As you can see, the victim had her....
Adam: I object!
Hardy: This isn’t a court room Mr. Knite.
Adam: Well it should be, because that blue blazer with those khaki pants is damn near criminal.
Hardy: Who let him in here!?
[Gib stands up and stares at Hardy with a stern look.]
Gib: I did, we’re going to need every available mind on this case, the Mayor and now even the Governor of the state are breathing down my neck. It was made clear to me that this psyco is not allowed to leave Dallas. That means we have a very short time period in which we can catch this bastard before he moves on to somewhere else.
Hardy: But these two sir!?
Gib: Shut up Hardy, they get results so we’re using them. We need all the help we can get.
Voice: We can see that.
[Everybody stops and turns and sees two men standing in the back of the room. Everybody turns to stare at them one with long flowing blond hair the other a ruggedly good looking individual who stands beside him.]
Adam: Who are these jobbers?
Gib: This is Detective Curtis Kanyon from Houston, where the murders started and this is Joe Everyman, their department’s criminal profiler... he’s considered....
Kanyon: Joe here has tracked “Every Sense” all across the state and is the foremost expert on the murderer, it’s going to be our pleasure working with you guys and seeing how things are done up here in Dallas.
Gib: They will be lending us their expertise on this case, helping us bring this wack job into justice.
[Joe and Curtis begin shaking the hands of everybody in the room while Adam and Will cross their arms and pout like children. Joe gets to Kelly where he stops and his jaw drops slightly before he smiles at her, causing her to blush as the reaction.]
Joe: Back in Houston they told us we’d be working with some of the finest detectives in the state up here, but the never said anything about the most beautiful...
[Adam throws his head back and curls up his nose in disgust.]
Adam: Oh come on... how cheesy was that....
[Kelly giggles and turns her head away like a blushing teenager as Everyman smiles, then kisses her hand.]
Adam: Oh you got to be kidding me...
Will: Wow, she never giggles like a school girl whenever you come on to her.
Adam: Shut up, she can’t seriously be buying this crap...
Joe: How about you and I take a quick tour of the station, help me get more acquainted...
Kelly: That’s a good idea, you will be working here for a while... good to know your surroundings.
Joe: I was referring to getting more acquainted with you.
[Kelly smiles from ear to ear as she nods her head in agreement as they interlock arms at the wrist and begin their little tour. Adam is dead silent as he stares at them walking away and while he does our scene fades away to a commercial break.]
-------------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK-------------------------
[When Knitington returns we see Adam and Will outside the briefing room side by side, Adam doesn’t look happy, but he and Will discuss what is going on.]
Adam: That guy is a putz...
Will: He’s one of the most decorated detectives in the state.
Adam: I’m telling you Will, I don’t like this “Joe” guy... Something about him...
Hardy: Maybe it’s the fact that he just bird dogged in on your woman?
Adam: Shut your face Hardy.
[Hardy walks up behind the too, puts his hands on both of their shoulders and almost smiles, loving this as all three walk together towards Gib’s office.]
Hardy: At first I was kind of annoyed that the chief asked for you two, but now that I see your miserable and are watching Kelly slip through your fringers... AGAIN... I’ve gotta say... the chief made a GRRRREAT choice.
Adam: Yeah, try saying that with a little less Tony the Tiger in your voice next time. Look Hardy.. I know Kelly better than anybody on this planet, there is no way in hell she is going to fall for that cheesy...
[They all three walk into Chief Gib’s office, he isn’t there but Kelly and Joe are sitting in a pair of chairs together holding each other’s hands staring into the other’s eyes.]
Kelly: Really? That’s amazing how did you.....
Joe: It was simple really... he just never thought about his finger prints being on the shell casing...
Adam: COME ON!
[Kelly and Joe shoot up in shock at Adam’s reaction as Gib and Curtis now walk into the office. Gib looks at Adam perplexed at his current facial expression, before he goes behind his desk and grabs a folder.]
Gib: Adam you ok? You look a little flushed son....
Adam: I’m fine, just tell me what you want us to do.... and don’t call me son.
Gib: I want all six of you together on this case, it’s very important, but I want Adam and Will to remember, you’re just consultants here! You are to listen to Hardy and Everyman, you are under them, got it?
Adam: We’ll do what we do.
Will: Adam!
Gib: I’m serious here Adam. If you screw up, or Hardy tells me he’s having any issues... You’re out of here.
Hardy: Sir, I’d like to report that I’m having issues working with Mr. Knite.
Gib: What?
[Gib just glares sternly at him.]
Hardy: nevermind.
Gib: Good.. now first I think you should all head over to the crime scene, Hardy and Kelly will show you four the findings thus far, and then possibly check on the autopsy details... find any clues you can, big or small... we need SOMETHING. Got it?
[They all nod their heads in agreement as we prepare for a scene shift.]
[We’re back from the scene shift inside the small apartment of the latest victim, blood splatter and stains line the floor and are all over some of the furniture. Will looks like he’s about to gag.]
Kanyon: Hey nancy, if you can’t take it maybe you should wait outside.
Adam: He’s fine... just an upset tummy, I told him that McGriddle smelled funky.
Kanyon: Why are you two here again?
Adam: Just focus on the crime scene ok? We got this.
[Adam smacks Will in the back of the head when nobody is looking.]
Adam: Pull it together man!
Will: Come on Adam... this is sick.. just look at this place... there is blood everywhere.
Joe: yeah that’s what usualy happens when a perp cuts off a womans hands, ears, nose, tongue, and rip out her eyeballs.
Will: **dry heaves*
Hardy: Why in the world is this guy so violant? He’s already raped the girl... then he kills her in this fashion? Why?
Joe: We’re not sure yet.
Kelly: It almost seems like it’s two separate crimes doesn’t it?
Joe: Yes, exactly Kelly good job, I’ve theorized that whomever this is, is suffering from an extreme case of bipolar disorder... he must feel an attraction to these women, the rape almost a form of love towards them but at the same time despises them on so many levels, that he’s become obsessed with the five senses and takes them from his victims.
Hardy: We’re dealing with a sick sone of a bitch....
Kanyon: You can say that again... but... I don’t see anything new here... Same MO, young single student female and the crime scene looks exactly the same not a single trace that anybody was here except for a cut up woman in the floor.
[Adam signals to Will to follow him into a room off to the side, Will looks around before following him.]
Will: What’s up?
[Adam doesn’t say a word, instead he just rears back then slams his fist right into Will’s gut causing him to slump over in pain. Adam grabs Will from behind and walks back into the main room where everybody turns to look at him.]
Adam: Wow I’m so sorry guys, looks like Will is feeling way worse than I thought, I’m going to get him out of here before he upchucks all over everything.
[Adam quickly drags Will out of the room while everybody stares at him confused at his frantic motions. Will desperately grasps for breath as Adam pulls him towards the car door and throws him inside. Adam slides across the hood all Dukes of Hazard like and then jumps into the front driver’s seat.]
Will: What was that about!?
Adam: I had to get us out of there Will... there is something fishy going on here. Did you see that crime scene!?
Will: Yeah I got a decent look at it before you punched me....
Adam: Didn’t you notice something weird about it? Think about it, that room was perfectly serene... except there was blood all over the place. No fight, no force entry, not a single thing out of place. Just like somebody politely came in, raped and then sliced her up.
Will: The guy knew her somehow?
Adam: He knew her from somewhere Will, he got in there... lets go look at the police report and check out that body alone.
Will: Lets do this.... oh and...
[Will reaches back then suddenly slams his fist right into Adam’s upper arm causing Adam to swerve across the yellow line but he quickly pulls the car back into their lane as he screams out in pain, we head to another fade out and scene shift.]
[We see Adam and Will sitting inside their office with a stack of papers from the police report over the entire case laying out in front of them. Both men look very tired as the stars can be seen shining outside the window.]
Adam: This is interesting... look at this picture.
Will: It's a bruise and some blood.. you know probably from slicing off her hands at the wrist.. it tends to bruise and be pretty bloody.
Adam: no but look at that.. it's...
[Adam puts his thumb over part of it and shows it's the perfect shape of the them and hand as if grasping tightly.]
Will: Yeah... its a bruise or blood... you know from slicing off her hands, I just said that.
Adam: But look.. it's upside down... If he was cutting like this the saw would be under him and if it was during the rape... it should be the other direction.
Will: Adam we’ve been at this for hours... there is nothing here, lets just get some sleep and regroup in the morning..
Adam: There has got to be something Will.. anything....
Will: Well it would help if we knew what we were looking for!
Adam: I don’t know! I mean just look at this... every single murder is exactly alike. It’s creepy... every victim exactly the same... college students living alone, trying to get through school, killed in their homes struggling to get by, alone, and not a trace of evidence... except for a semen sample that has been completely untraceable.
Will: Ok.. call me crazy here, but these seem a little too well done, you know what I mean? Every one of these murders sounds like a stalking victim.... yet every employee on every campus was questioned and had DNA tests taken and nobody reports any suspicious people hanging around spying on these girls... what kind of ordinary rapist puts this much effort into finding these specific women?
Adam: Will... they almost sound... professional.
Will: A professional serial rapist and murderer?
Adam: A professional at finding people, a professional at profiling....
Will: No.
Adam: yes.
Will: You’re not suggesting.....
Adam: DUDE! Think about it! You said it yourself...
Will: Adam... you’re just saying this because the guy and Kelly are really hitting it off... you don’t really think somebody working so closely ON this case would actually do this do you?
Adam: I don’t know... but It’s worth looking into, I think it’s time we played our ace up our sleeves..
Will: Oh no... not Zelda...
[We fade out for another commercial break for a few brief moments before we come back.]
-------------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK-------------------------
[Adam and Will walk into the police station at night with Zelda between them in her pajamas, looking half asleep. The walkd by the receptionist officer behind the desk.]
Adam: Hey Julie, Zelda left some work here for her school project, we’re just going back to the chief’s office to grab it ok?
Julie: Why you two?
Will: Zelda’s sleeping over at our place and you know Gib.. he hates that part of town...
Adam: Plus he’s such a hardass, he said “she’ll never learn” if we just bail her out whenever she’s in trouble... but this project is really important to her....
[Adam nudges Zelda from behind who rolls her eyes before taking another nude. She sighs then tears starting forming in her eyes as she begins crying.]
Zelda: **sniffles** Yeah if I don’t get this finished I’ll fail World history and I’ll have to take it again **sniffles** next year and daddy will....
Julie: It’s ok honey, it’s ok... you guys just head back there and get what you need and be quick about it... I’ll leave it between us ok sweetheart.
Zelda: **sniffles** Thank you Julie.
[The three quickly head to Gib’s office as Zelda wipes away the fake tears, they slide in through the door and quickly shut it behind them. Will jumps on lookout duty as Adam and Zelda head behind the computer at his desk.]
Adam: Wow you are one shrewd manipulator Zelda.
Zelda: Yeah yeah, can we just hurry up so I can get back home and go to sleep?
Adam: Well hurry up and log us in.
Zelda: Done.. Daddy’s password is so easy to figure out. He really should secure it better...
Adam: Yeah whatever... no time to worry about that right now... He's gotta have some files, or there has got to be some system that has files on this Joe Everyman guy, he's working here so we have to have something...
Zelda: Well, will this due?
[Will walks over to see what Zelda has brought up onto the screen. Adam clicks a few buttons and looks over everything that is written out in front of him. He finally stops after making another click and starts smiling.]
Will: Does that say what I think it says....
Zelda: He got expelled from A&M?
Adam: Sexual Assault?
Will: It says the case was dropped and no charges were brought up... You're going down a dead end road Adam.
Adam: Just wait, give me three minutes and I'll find it...
Will: That's what she said.
Adam: Oh come on, no tomfoolery right now.
Will: That's also what she said.
Adam: Dammit! The guys record is like spotless...
Will: Face it Adam... he's a good guy.
Adam: Zelda... one more thing... Is there a way to check that database with all those DNA samples and fingerprints in it?
Will: Adam they already did that with that... uh...
Adam: Uhh.. DNA... they found?
Will: Right.
Zelda: Guys, I know what semen is.
[Adam and Will both nervously look around and cough, before they ignore it.]
Adam: Just look up Joe Everyman in there... I'm not running anything we don't have a lab or anything.... just check it.
Zelda: That's funny..
Will: Like Sarah Silverman “that's cute that she tries to be funny” funny? Or like Dane Cook “Why do people show up here” funny?
Zelda: I... I don't know how to answer that... just look.
Adam: No record found.....
Will: Aren't all law employees supposed to do be in this?
Adam: Yes... they are, these were in here... somebody deleted them...
Will: Adam I know what you're thinking... don't get carried away like the time you...
[Adam throws his fist forward in celebration.]
Adam: It’s him! It’s him, it's gotta be him!
Will: Adam.. how could he erase his own files... he’s just a criminal profiler... he doesn't have that kind of access
Adam: Whose best friend just happens to be the head detective for the Houston police....
[Adam stops and his jaw drops. Images flash on the screen of the upside down thumb shaped bruise on the victims wrist, we see a small flash back of Kelly saying it was almost like two separate crimes and we see Kanyon and Joe together inside the briefing room]
Adam: “it's almost like it's two separate crimes”
Will: Are you ok?
Adam: That's what Kelly said back at the crime scene and Joe instantly said “exactly” but then tried to spin it as bipolar.. dude it was two separate crimes, it's like they're tag teaming these victims... one wants rape... the other wants murder... OH MY GOD... they seek out the same victims... stalk them and then.... do it.
Zelda: Monsters....
Will: Come on Adam this isn't damning evidence here...
Adam: Well if he's got nothing to hide, he won't mind taking a DNA test will he?
Will: What are we going to do? We didn't exactly have permission to do this you know.
Adam: We're going to be forced to tell somebody...
Will: You mean like real cops do?
Adam: Oh shut up and just come with me... lets find Kelly...
[Adam, Will and Zelda jump up from where they're sitting and head out of the station to go to Kelly and we have another quick scene change.]
[When we come back we see Adam, Will, and Zelda following Kelly up Chief Gib's driveway and Kelly doesn't look please.]
Kelly: Adam you've gone too far this time... I'm telling the chief, this is low even for you!
Adam: Kelly this is serious!
[Kelly knocks on the door and not long afterwards is answered as Gib stands there. Kelly begins talking to him frantically telling him what Adam, Will and Zelda did. We flash over to Adam and Will instead of hearing what we already know.]
Will: Dammit Adam... they'll never hire us again thanks to you and your vandetta!
Adam: He's gotta believe us or they are going to get away with this.
Gib: ZELDA GO TO YOUR ROOM! You're grounded for a year!
Zelda: Thanks a lot guys... gah...
Gib: AND YOU TWO!
[Zelda lowers her head and slowly drags her way into the house as Adam and Will take a large gulp of air.]
Gib: That's it... you two are done in this town, I'm having your licenses revoked and putting you in jail for obstructing an investigation and for hacking and anything else I can think of! I knew you two would pull crap like this... but involving my teenage daughter and your sister? That's just pathetic Adam.
Adam: Gib please...
Gib: No, this is unforgivable!
Adam: GIB LISTEN TO ME! I know I'm a horrible step son to you, I know I threw a big hissyfit when you made Kelly Detective... but I'm begging you please... just at least bring in this guy and question him why those files were deleted, just bring him in and see! Nobody has to know it was me who did the background search... but there if nothing else is cause to ask him to take the DNA test...
[Gib looks at the seriousness on Adam's face and sighs long and loud, and Kelly looks shocked.]
Kelly: You're actually going to give in to this crazy talk!?
Will: Isn't it Hardy who is usually standing there trashing us?
Adam: yeah.. not a very flattering side of Kelly...
Kelly: Shut up you two. Gib!
Gib: They've got a point... it's fishy if nothing else... and there's no harm in checking.
[Adam and Wil nod their heads, Adam offers his fist for a fist bump and Will accepts and we quickly fade one more time before the commercial break.]
[We come back in Gib's office where we see Hardy, Kelly, Adam and Will standing outside the office door.]
Adam: They don't suspect anything do they?
Kelly: No... because they have nothing to hide.
Hardy: It's going to be so great seeing you two get canned for this
Will: I can't believe you told Hardy of all people Kelly...
Kelly: Oh, I'm telling EVERYBODY about it once they clear Joe's name...
Adam: what in the hell do you see in that guy?
Kelly: Well, I don't know... maybe it's the fact he treats me with respect and acts like I'm a woman... could be that.
Adam: Hey! I always told you how important you were to me...
Kelly: Yeah, afer I spent a week trying to get your attention...
Adam: Kelly...
Hardy: Can it! Here they come.
[Joe and Curtis come walking up smiling at all four of them, but Joe especially at Kelly, who he almost immediately goes to greet personally.]
Joe: It's good to see you again Miss Fox....
Kelly: I had a great time last night...
Joe: Well, I'll just have to make sure to do it again sometime won't I?
Hardy: Come on you two... the chief wants you in his office.
[Hardy opens the door and lets them in, he follows for some protection as Adam, Kelly, and Will stand outside.]
Adam: LAST NIGHT!? What the hell? You dating this shmuck after one day!?
Kelly: We had dinner, since when do I answer to you?
Adam: I can't believe you Kelly... this guy comes in saying you're pretty and you're fawning over him!
Kelly: You're just jealous Adam, you always are when you think somebody is smarter or better looking or is getting close with me...
Adam: That is so not true.
Will: Dude... it totally is.
Adam: Whose side are you on!?
Will: The right side.... you know you didn't like this guy from the second he and Kelly talked...
[Suddenly the door bursts open and Joe comes running out, he sprints past everybody standing there. Adam turns and looks at Kelly and Will grinning then throws his index finger in their face.]
Adam: FACE! Wait crap.. we should catch him shouldn't we? GO!
[Hardy comes busting out of the office now with his gun drawn.]
Hardy: GET HIM! Gib's got Kanyon....GO!
[All four take off but it's too late, Joe is like a cat and is long gone.]
Will: SONOVA! What happened?
Hardy: Chief started questioning him, he panicked... clocked his partner in the back of the head into Gib at his desk, kicked me as I was reaching for my firearm and took off.
Kelly: Why are all you people just standing around? Didn't anybody chase the crazy guy running out of the police station?!
Julie: No... he he he... grabbed a hostage as he was running out...
Will: A hostage?! Who could he have...
Adam: No...
[Adam falls to his knee and picks a Nintendo 3DS off the floor and stands back up... gasps and awes as we fade to commercial.]
-------------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK-------------------------
[Adam stands over Kanyon who falls into a chair holding his face in pain, Adam steps forward and again backhands him with a furious blow. Everybody else in the room runs up and tries to restrain Adam but it's not working too well.]
Adam: WHERES MY SISTER?! TELL ME YOU SON OF A BITCH!
Curtis: I'm not with him!
Adam: Then how could he do all this?! He had to have help!
Curtis: I don't know, we are best friends... or were that son of a bitch stabbed me in the back too, he probably knew enough from us being so close! I'm head Detective, so he had access all the time... I trusted him!
[Gib walks into the room looking all somber, he sees Adam being held back by Hardy and another officer. He waves his arm at them.]
Gib: Let him go, we have more urgent things to worry about... Like finding my daughter.
Will: Come on Curtis... you know the guy better than anybody... where could he be?
Curtis: Dammit.. I should of seen it coming he was down her before the murder even happened... nobody connected those dots..
Adam: Wait wait wait.. You knew he was here when the murder happened?!
Curtis: Yes, he was called in for another case... to give a profile on another perp.
Gib: That's right.
Will: Well then... lets go check his hotel room, see I we can find anything right? We have to hurry.
Kelly: Yeah... come on, lets go.
Curtis: I'm going with you.
Adam: NO! I'm not sure if we can trust you, I...
Curtis: LOOK! I'm your best chance at catching him... I can help I'm going to bring my former best friend to justice if it kills me!
Adam: Ok... lets go... Hardy you stay here with Gib and help us on the radio if you hear anything deal?
Gib: Adam...
[Gib grabs Adam's shoulders and squeezes him tight as he stares into Adam's eyes.]
Gib: Please save my daughter.
Adam: I won't let anything happen to her...
[Adam, Kelly, Will and Curtis sprint out of the police station, and head to the hotel room. They quickly arrive there and head straight for the room and swinging it wildly open. They take a quick look around with weapons drawn but see nothing.]
Adam: Dammit he's not here... come on there has got to be some clue here! Think Kanyon!
Curtis: Look! I think it's pretty obvious I didn't know the guy like the back of my hand ok... lets just look around and think...
Will: Well he couldn't have gotten very far right? He was running out of a police station with with a young girl in a choke hold! So obviously he didn't get back here and he obviously couldn't have gotten too far away.
Kelly: Great point.
Adam: Yeah, lets just look around, he's got to have something... wait wait wait... He has a partner! Remember.. it's two of them...
Will: Adam we never proved that...
Adam: he does trust me I know it.. he has to... it's like Kelly said, it's two different crimes!
Curtis: We never once thought about there being an accomplice in this... you sir you're going to put all your eggs in that basket?
Adam: Think about it! He didn't have time to stalk this woman, Will you're the one who said that... all the victims were picked out in a way it had to be somebody who had a ton of access to these women's lives!
Will: Yeah yeah, that's right... and Kanyon said he wasn't in Dallas long before the murder and then just staying up here for the case! So he and somebody must be working together!
Adam: Think Curtis... not about Joe... but the victims... is there any place they all commonly visited other than school... a common place where they had personal information...banks.. something...
Curtis: Well there was one thing...
Adam: YES!?
Curtis: But it was stupid, everybody dismissed it as just be coincidence...
Adam: Look Curtis! If I would of just backed off because somebody told me it was “coincidence” we wouldn't even be here right now knowing that Joe was a rapist! What is it... anything!
[Curtis stops and thinks... then he lets out a big sigh.]
Curtis: Ok, well... from all our interviews and testimonies taken from people who knew the victims we found out they had taken their.. uhhh computers in for repairs in the weeks leading up to their murders... but so many young kids need comps for college and it being in different cities and at different places.... it was just...
Will: You know that makes sense... there should be all kinds of personal information on their computers.... find their name, if they're not smart... log into their networking accounts... I mean...
Curtis: Everybody said it was crazy... but I just distinctly remembering it was weird because it seemed to come up in every victims run down... that they had been having computer troubles, a boyfrend, parents, all saying it with different victims.
Adam: Ok that's good.. so where where where!?
Kelly: Wait, I got it, everybody jump in the car and I'll radio Hardy and Gib and ask them to ask for any local computer shops that opened up lately, maybe they can find something in the computers.
Will: And make sure they are walking distance from the police station!
[We quickly fade out as everybody takes off for Kelly's car again, Adam is the first one there sliding into the passenger seat as everybody else takes their places. We take a quick fade out as the scene changes but just for a second.]
Adam: Are you sure this is the most likely place?
Kelly: It's our safest bet from everything we could think of...
Will: Sensible computer repair...
Curtis: That Hardy guy said there was a witness seeing two people who fit the description of Joe and Zelda just a few blocks away from here... this is it if we were right...
Will: And if they haven't left already...
Kelly: Backup should be here any second...
Adam: not enough time.. I'm going in...
Kelly: Adam don't!
Adam: Kelly I have to save my sister...
[Adam stares at Kelly with fire and determination burning in his eyes, she knows this is something she can't stop.]
Kelly: Take my shot gun out of the car if you're going to insist...
Adam: Thanks Kel...
Kelly: Stay on the radio too.. We're going to try to give you some support from out here...
Will: I'm coming with you....
Kelly: Be careful.... please.
[Adam nods his head before he grabs the shotgun and then begins sneaking up on the store. He and Will are side by side as they sneak up towards the front door of the place. They both look into the windows but don't see anything, Adam grabs the door handle and tries to open it, but it's locked. He takes the shotgun and smashes the handle off and pushes the door open.]
Will: Good job Captain Subtle.
Adam: Shut up... I'll take point... be on the look out dude.
Will: Lets do this...
[Will and Adam walks slowly into the building, there is a small hall way in the darkened place that leads to another room in the back, Adam points towards it and he and Will head in, however just as Adam steps in the all a lead pipe comes from behind the corner behind him and clocks Will in the back of the head. Adam spins around and there is Joe Everyman standing there smiling with a gun in his other hand. Adam turns back around and standing there with a gun in his hand as well is... ?!]
Adam: Consuela!? What are you doing here.... oh...my...god....
Sense: The name is Lex Sense.. and you two morons are going to die... but I've got some good news.. I think we'll save your little sister once we dispose of you morons. I knew you two would be brought onto the case, so there I was in your office the whole time knowing just how close you were....
Adam: Then why didn't you tip Joe off that we were on to him!?
Sense: I didn't realize you had found him out after you left the office to get your little bitch of a sister.... then he like a dumbass walked right into that little setup and panicked!
Joe: I'm sorry, I didn't know what to do!
Sense: Anything but run!
Joe: STOP YELLING AT ME!
Adam: Both of you just shut up and give me my sister!
Sense: I'm sorry... but there are two of us and only one of you... Your buddy is out...
Adam: Will!? Ha, a hit to the head doesn't keep him down, he'll jump up and mess your buddy up any second now....
[Lex looks at Joe and nods, Joe grabs Will's head and lifts it up showing him out as he puts the point of the gun into Will's temple. Lex laughs and points at that scene for Adam to look at, but Adam does no such thing, instead he charges at Sense and shoves the butt of the shotgun up into his chin sending him back and falling to the ground, Adam jumps on top of him and Everyman aims his gun, he stands up and is about to take the shot when... BOOOM! Curtis stands there with his gun smoking and Everyman falls to the ground dead.]
Curtis: Why did you do this to me Joe? Why did you stab me in the back!
[Curtis walks over to Joe, turns him over and touches his face as he clinches his fist, knowing it's what he had to do. Curtis closes Everyman's eyes as Sense is subdued by Adam who has him in a death hold.]
Sense: DAMMIT. That idiot....
[Kelly rushes in as Adam gets up and heads to the back room, he frantically looks around and finally sees Zelda sitting there duct taped in a chair. Adam rips the tape off her mouth and then begins working on getting her out of the chair.]
Zelda: Took you long enough.
Adam: **laughs** Sorry sis... got here as fast as I could.
[Adam grabs a knife on a nearby table and cuts through the tape, Zelda falls out of the chair to her side landing with her arms wrapped tightly around Adam's neck as she begins crying.]
Zelda: Th...thank you.
[Kelly walks into the room and puts her hand on Adam's shoulder.]
Kelly: Good job...
Adam: Thank you Kelly...
Kelly: No... if it wasn't for you, Zelda would be dead right now... I didn't believe you... others would be dead...
Adam: Kelly it wasn't...
[Adam cant' stop her as Zelda has too tight of a grip. Kelly turns around and heads away through the police reinforcements filing into the building now to take care of the body and Sense, we take the last commercial break.]
-------------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK-------------------------
[We come back after the last commrecial and we see Adam and Will sitting out side against the building. Zelda is still with Adam and Will is rubbing the back of his head in pain.]
Will: Good job dude.. I didn't see the jerk coming he was like a ninja or something.
Adam: I couldn't have done it without you pal... don't sweat it.
Zelda: Thank you Will.. you were so brave...
[Zelda leans over Adam and kisses Will on the cheek.]
Will: You know, that just makes this all worth it... just don't tell anybody... don't want any statutory rape charges pinned on me.
Zelda: Especially after Farmer Mortimer....
Will: DROP IT!
[Gib walks up to the three sitting there. He's clearly fighting back a ton of emotions, Zelda rushes up and throws her arms around him.]
Gib: Adam, I don't know how I'll ever thank you...
Adam: Thank Everybody who helped....
Gib: But you espcially....
Adam: You could give me my badge back... or at least give me some better jobs when you get them...
Gib: I'll get right on looking into that.... come on Zelda... thank you again guys....
[Gib and Zelda walk off out of view from the camera as Adam and Will stand to their feet.]
Will: What do we do now?
Adam: I don't care... lets just get away from here ok?
Will: Alright man... lets head out... I'm thinkin... Arby's.
[Adam looks around, he's hesitant for some reason. He looks over and spots Kelly standing with Hardy, Kelly's expression seems down.]
Adam: Hey Will, if you don't mind there is something I want to do...
[Will looks over and sees where Adam's eyes are.]
Will: I understand dude... I'll wait for you in the car.
[Adam walks up and as he does, Hardy sees him and steps out of the picture, Adam grabs Kelly's hands and looks up at her.]
Adam: Kelly...
[He doesn't have a chance to say anything as Kelly leans up and gives him a quick kiss on the lips. Adam's eyes go wide as he stares at herand then.... RIDE INTO THE DANGER ZONE! The scene fades away as Adam is talking on the phone and the credits begin to roll signaling the end of another exciting episode of Knitington slowly fades away.]
It's it funny that you two thought that stalking my wife was a way to get into my head...
You two don't realize all the things I've been through? You've never seen me leap from the triple cage or be powerbombed off the top of a semi-truck have you? You two must of missed where Steve actually threatened to take my wife right? You couldn't have possibly seen that, otherwise you'd know sending her letters andd burning our picture was pointless and quite idiotic.
Joe Everyman, the magical, the amazing American Hero who has more losses than any other person the roster... thinks that he and Sense are going to run away with this victory.... how laughable is that? That just cracks me up. You've never done anything remotely close to justifying being in the NCW Hall of Fame, you've never been world champion, won Road to the Gold, Won the Coliseum... hell you're ****ing stupid ass brother got in one before you did in that area! You... you've done... absolutely nothing outside of picking up some National titles... that's nice and all.. but come on, that's nowhere near the level of DDK and I.
Well I insulted Joe.. so cue Maria walking into the scene and telling him how great he is and how wrong I am.
Also cue Joe Everyman saying that we think he's being carried in this Tag Team when none of us have said anything of the sort.
Though I will admit, seeing Joe hanging around Lex is pretty cute, watching him trying to act all intimidating and mean, watching him put on his big boy voice and try to be scary, it's almost like he went to the Christian Bale school of acting with that "mean voice" of his. He'll probably say a curse word or two also to make the promo seem extra serious too. That's the key to telling when Joe Everyman is mad and he thinks a match or situation is extra important you know... he'll start cussing. It's so adorable.
What do you think is going to happen at Sovereign? Me and DDK are going to be shaking in our boots too much to even walk to the ring just because we have Lex and Everyman walking around snarling up their noses and talking in baritone? -laughs- Come on... I wouldn't have been inducted into three separate Hall of Fame if I ran away somebody played the tough guys card and told me they were going to "destroy me by ripping off my head and spitting down my neck".
But you know what... just go right ahead and do it if it makes you feel big and tough, I actually beg you to. I also beg you to take every word I say and spin it back at me and I absolutely beg you to mock the promo that is going to follow this monologue, in your typical "I'm Joe Everyman so everything you say doesn't matter" fashion.
Speaking of true Joe Everyman fashion... go ahead and call my wife a whore while you're at it.
It isn't like you haven't used that one a million times already or anything.
You both seem to think that me and DDK are going to roll over for you, you seem to think that you're the future here and we're the old news, as if it's some ass half backwards thinking that just because me and Curt are former world champions we're washed up.... -laughs- Now that is rich... You speak of the future like it's just going to be handed to you or like it's some kind of divine destiny... hey look another Joe Everyman-ism, yet you fail to realize that you're not looking at the past of NCW, you're not looking at NCW's former legacy... you're staring right into the present, and after you see us walking over your faces, you'll be seeing us heading into the future.
That's ok, think what you want though... because it'll make it that much more fun to break you both.
It'll be that much more fun to completely dominate you inside that ring..
You two have no idea what me and DDK have in store for you Sunday..
You two have no idea what we're willing to do to crush you..
You two don't even realize that you're riding into.... THE DANGER ZONE.
[The opening video and credits play to the sounds of Kenny Loggins “Danger Zone” before the title card flashes on screen displaying the “Knitington PDA” logo.]
[It fades away as we see Adam Knite walking into screen for the opening scene. He carries a with him a box full of delicious donuts, he’s surprised to see that the door is unlocked so he cautiously pushes it open and slowly walks in. Adam jumps back at the sight he finds before him... a tall fat man with long black hair (an obvious wig) standing there fixing some magazines on the table. The fat man waves at him cutely (aka disgustingly) as Adam turns and heads into the main office area where Will Washington sits behind the desk with is feet propped up.]
Adam: Why in the hell is there a fat little person outside in the waiting room?
Will: That’s our new personal assistant, Consuela.
Adam: Consuela?! It’s a guy.
Will: Apparently he’s pretty big in the LARPing community, Consuela is his Elf character’s name.
“Consuela”: I’m a Elf Ranger with a secondary Hunter skill, I am the leader of the Wood Elves of Rabsloft, thank you.
Adam: What’s your real name?
“Consuela”: I can’t tell you that, otherwise you’d have control over me.
Will: It’s Sam Hutchinson, it was on his resume.
“Consuela”: NOOO! Now I’m bound to do your bidding for eternity!
[Adam stares the man with his jaw dropped almost touching the floor, dumbfounded. He turns and looks at Will while raising an eyebrow out of complete shock and puzzlement, before his face suddenly turns serious and his words are precise.]
Adam: Get rid of it.
Will: I can’t, we could really use his help and he was the only person who applied for the job.
Adam: Since when do we need a personal assistant!?
Will: We talked about this already! Ever since we wound up hog tied in the back of turnip truck last week because we didn’t have anybody to watch the door for us when you decided we should trespass in Farmer Mortimer’s barn!
Adam: Oh, come on you’re still harping on that? We got out just fine.
Will: I was about five minutes away from getting told I had a “purdy mouth”!
Adam: You cry about everything... “oh, I stubbed my toe”, “Ouch, I got a sun burn”, “Some big redneck hillbilly wants to sow his seed in me.” Does it ever end with you?
[From around the corner “Consuela” walks into the room carrying a feather duster. He begins to dust off some bookshelves and we can see him keeping his ear towards Will and Adam, ease dropping on their conversation. Adam turns and looks suspiciously at him before turning back to Will.]
Adam: Get rid of it.
Will: I can’t, I payed her in advance.
Adam: WHY WOULD YOU DO SOM.....
[Adam is quickly interrupted by a knocking on their wall as Kelly walks into the office area unannounced. Adam quickly lets his rage subside as she sees her. He smiles and tries to play it cool.]
Adam: Well if it isn’t the lovely Detective Fox. What brings you here?
Kelly: Can the smooth act Adam. I’m here on serious business.
Will: What’s up Kel? Anything we can solve for you? Again?
Kelly: Look if you two don’t want the money or whatever, I’ll just go back to the station and tell Chief Gib that you two refsued, no big deal.
Adam: Wait what? It’s that serious? Gib agreed to let us help?
Kelly: He specifically said to get you two involved. This is pretty huge... who in the hell is that!?
Will: That’s Consuela.
Kelly: What is it?
Will: Our new personal assistant. She’s going to make sure nothing like last week is going to happen to us.
Kelly: You mean when you...
Will: YES ok! Lets not talk about the incident any further!
Adam: If we can stop ogling the lovely Miss Consuela for two minutes... Kelly, are you going to tell us what this is about?
Kelly: I’ll let the Chief fill you in, come with me.
Adam: Ok, but you do know this means I’m going to just keeps guessing until you tell me...
Kelly: You better not Adam...
[We fade out briefly as the scenes change, we’re now outside the Dallas Police headquarters where Kelly steps out of her car and opens the door for Adam and Will, Adam is still talking and Kelly is obviously incredibly annoyed at it already.]
Adam: Is it the annual bake sale? He wants me to bake my world famous pecan sandies?!!
Kelly: No.
Adam: It better not be about cleaning his pool again, I told him the first time... I didn’t put those 100 pounds of Jello packets in there.
Kelly: No.
Will: Good, because he totally did.
Adam: Shut up Dude! What about my baseball card collection, is he going to let me into the attic to finally get them?
Will: That would be a nice olive branch.
Kelly: Would you stop it!? We’re here, you can go in and ask him yourselves!
Adam: What about....
Kelly: I will strangle you if you finish that sentence Adam!
Adam: Geez Kel, fine.
[Adam and Will leave the exasperated Kelly standing there as they head up the stairs of the HQ.]
Adam: Dude what crawled up her butt?
Will: Man I don’t know... It couldn’t of been that game of 21.. hundred questions you two just played.
Adam: I know right.
[Adam and Will continue up the steps and bound into the Polic Station which is severly lacking in activity. Usually there is an abundance of hustle and bustle inside the station but today it is almost completely empty. Adam and Will obviously stop in their tracks as they see this, instantly knowing something is up. The two look around, finally catching Zelda sitting in the front area playing on a brand new Nintendo 3DS. Adam and Wil jump over the back of the small sofa and land on each side of her.]
Adam: Zelda why in the hell are you not in school?
Zelda: I got sent home again... so Daddy told me to wait out here, he didn’t want to see me until it was time for lunch.
Adam: Z you’re better than this, you know...
Zelda: Adam don’t lecture me, I’m going to get enough of that when Dad finds out that I hacked the school grade books.
Will: What? YOU were making a low enough grade that you had to break in and change it?
Zelda: ME?! No! I was changing all of Stephen Greyston’s grades to Fs for calling me “Xena”.. really... me and “Warrior” princess... puh-lease.
Adam: Whatever, just try to stay out of trouble....
Zelda: You’re one to be talking, I know about the “Farmer Mortimer” incident last week.... speaking of which.. are you ok Will I heard you...?
Will: Lets not talk about it!
Adam: Z, any clue on what you’re old man is going on about today? Apparently it’s big enough that he asked for Knitington personally.
Zelda: Yeah it’s pretty huge, you know that serial killer, The Every Sense Killer?
Will: That sicko who has been raping and murdering young women across the state?
Zelda: Yeah him, well apparently he’s moved into the Dallas area... body was found, they say it’s him. Don’t tell Daddy I said a word, ok I’m in enough trouble.
Adam: Thanks Z, come on Will lets go burst in there and put on a show.
[Adam and Will fist bump before they jump back over the back of the couch and head down the hall to the meeting room where Kelly is standing in front of the door tapping her foot, obviously waiting on them. She glares at them as she opens the door and demands they go inside with a hard point of her index finger in that direction. Adam and Will slide into the room full of cops, Kelly comes in after them closing the door. Adam and Will take a quick look around the room before they see Eric Hardy standing in front of a board with a pointer in his hand showing some pictures and evidence.]
Hardy: As you can see, the victim had her....
Adam: I object!
Hardy: This isn’t a court room Mr. Knite.
Adam: Well it should be, because that blue blazer with those khaki pants is damn near criminal.
Hardy: Who let him in here!?
[Gib stands up and stares at Hardy with a stern look.]
Gib: I did, we’re going to need every available mind on this case, the Mayor and now even the Governor of the state are breathing down my neck. It was made clear to me that this psyco is not allowed to leave Dallas. That means we have a very short time period in which we can catch this bastard before he moves on to somewhere else.
Hardy: But these two sir!?
Gib: Shut up Hardy, they get results so we’re using them. We need all the help we can get.
Voice: We can see that.
[Everybody stops and turns and sees two men standing in the back of the room. Everybody turns to stare at them one with long flowing blond hair the other a ruggedly good looking individual who stands beside him.]
Adam: Who are these jobbers?
Gib: This is Detective Curtis Kanyon from Houston, where the murders started and this is Joe Everyman, their department’s criminal profiler... he’s considered....
Kanyon: Joe here has tracked “Every Sense” all across the state and is the foremost expert on the murderer, it’s going to be our pleasure working with you guys and seeing how things are done up here in Dallas.
Gib: They will be lending us their expertise on this case, helping us bring this wack job into justice.
[Joe and Curtis begin shaking the hands of everybody in the room while Adam and Will cross their arms and pout like children. Joe gets to Kelly where he stops and his jaw drops slightly before he smiles at her, causing her to blush as the reaction.]
Joe: Back in Houston they told us we’d be working with some of the finest detectives in the state up here, but the never said anything about the most beautiful...
[Adam throws his head back and curls up his nose in disgust.]
Adam: Oh come on... how cheesy was that....
[Kelly giggles and turns her head away like a blushing teenager as Everyman smiles, then kisses her hand.]
Adam: Oh you got to be kidding me...
Will: Wow, she never giggles like a school girl whenever you come on to her.
Adam: Shut up, she can’t seriously be buying this crap...
Joe: How about you and I take a quick tour of the station, help me get more acquainted...
Kelly: That’s a good idea, you will be working here for a while... good to know your surroundings.
Joe: I was referring to getting more acquainted with you.
[Kelly smiles from ear to ear as she nods her head in agreement as they interlock arms at the wrist and begin their little tour. Adam is dead silent as he stares at them walking away and while he does our scene fades away to a commercial break.]
-------------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK-------------------------
[When Knitington returns we see Adam and Will outside the briefing room side by side, Adam doesn’t look happy, but he and Will discuss what is going on.]
Adam: That guy is a putz...
Will: He’s one of the most decorated detectives in the state.
Adam: I’m telling you Will, I don’t like this “Joe” guy... Something about him...
Hardy: Maybe it’s the fact that he just bird dogged in on your woman?
Adam: Shut your face Hardy.
[Hardy walks up behind the too, puts his hands on both of their shoulders and almost smiles, loving this as all three walk together towards Gib’s office.]
Hardy: At first I was kind of annoyed that the chief asked for you two, but now that I see your miserable and are watching Kelly slip through your fringers... AGAIN... I’ve gotta say... the chief made a GRRRREAT choice.
Adam: Yeah, try saying that with a little less Tony the Tiger in your voice next time. Look Hardy.. I know Kelly better than anybody on this planet, there is no way in hell she is going to fall for that cheesy...
[They all three walk into Chief Gib’s office, he isn’t there but Kelly and Joe are sitting in a pair of chairs together holding each other’s hands staring into the other’s eyes.]
Kelly: Really? That’s amazing how did you.....
Joe: It was simple really... he just never thought about his finger prints being on the shell casing...
Adam: COME ON!
[Kelly and Joe shoot up in shock at Adam’s reaction as Gib and Curtis now walk into the office. Gib looks at Adam perplexed at his current facial expression, before he goes behind his desk and grabs a folder.]
Gib: Adam you ok? You look a little flushed son....
Adam: I’m fine, just tell me what you want us to do.... and don’t call me son.
Gib: I want all six of you together on this case, it’s very important, but I want Adam and Will to remember, you’re just consultants here! You are to listen to Hardy and Everyman, you are under them, got it?
Adam: We’ll do what we do.
Will: Adam!
Gib: I’m serious here Adam. If you screw up, or Hardy tells me he’s having any issues... You’re out of here.
Hardy: Sir, I’d like to report that I’m having issues working with Mr. Knite.
Gib: What?
[Gib just glares sternly at him.]
Hardy: nevermind.
Gib: Good.. now first I think you should all head over to the crime scene, Hardy and Kelly will show you four the findings thus far, and then possibly check on the autopsy details... find any clues you can, big or small... we need SOMETHING. Got it?
[They all nod their heads in agreement as we prepare for a scene shift.]
[We’re back from the scene shift inside the small apartment of the latest victim, blood splatter and stains line the floor and are all over some of the furniture. Will looks like he’s about to gag.]
Kanyon: Hey nancy, if you can’t take it maybe you should wait outside.
Adam: He’s fine... just an upset tummy, I told him that McGriddle smelled funky.
Kanyon: Why are you two here again?
Adam: Just focus on the crime scene ok? We got this.
[Adam smacks Will in the back of the head when nobody is looking.]
Adam: Pull it together man!
Will: Come on Adam... this is sick.. just look at this place... there is blood everywhere.
Joe: yeah that’s what usualy happens when a perp cuts off a womans hands, ears, nose, tongue, and rip out her eyeballs.
Will: **dry heaves*
Hardy: Why in the world is this guy so violant? He’s already raped the girl... then he kills her in this fashion? Why?
Joe: We’re not sure yet.
Kelly: It almost seems like it’s two separate crimes doesn’t it?
Joe: Yes, exactly Kelly good job, I’ve theorized that whomever this is, is suffering from an extreme case of bipolar disorder... he must feel an attraction to these women, the rape almost a form of love towards them but at the same time despises them on so many levels, that he’s become obsessed with the five senses and takes them from his victims.
Hardy: We’re dealing with a sick sone of a bitch....
Kanyon: You can say that again... but... I don’t see anything new here... Same MO, young single student female and the crime scene looks exactly the same not a single trace that anybody was here except for a cut up woman in the floor.
[Adam signals to Will to follow him into a room off to the side, Will looks around before following him.]
Will: What’s up?
[Adam doesn’t say a word, instead he just rears back then slams his fist right into Will’s gut causing him to slump over in pain. Adam grabs Will from behind and walks back into the main room where everybody turns to look at him.]
Adam: Wow I’m so sorry guys, looks like Will is feeling way worse than I thought, I’m going to get him out of here before he upchucks all over everything.
[Adam quickly drags Will out of the room while everybody stares at him confused at his frantic motions. Will desperately grasps for breath as Adam pulls him towards the car door and throws him inside. Adam slides across the hood all Dukes of Hazard like and then jumps into the front driver’s seat.]
Will: What was that about!?
Adam: I had to get us out of there Will... there is something fishy going on here. Did you see that crime scene!?
Will: Yeah I got a decent look at it before you punched me....
Adam: Didn’t you notice something weird about it? Think about it, that room was perfectly serene... except there was blood all over the place. No fight, no force entry, not a single thing out of place. Just like somebody politely came in, raped and then sliced her up.
Will: The guy knew her somehow?
Adam: He knew her from somewhere Will, he got in there... lets go look at the police report and check out that body alone.
Will: Lets do this.... oh and...
[Will reaches back then suddenly slams his fist right into Adam’s upper arm causing Adam to swerve across the yellow line but he quickly pulls the car back into their lane as he screams out in pain, we head to another fade out and scene shift.]
[We see Adam and Will sitting inside their office with a stack of papers from the police report over the entire case laying out in front of them. Both men look very tired as the stars can be seen shining outside the window.]
Adam: This is interesting... look at this picture.
Will: It's a bruise and some blood.. you know probably from slicing off her hands at the wrist.. it tends to bruise and be pretty bloody.
Adam: no but look at that.. it's...
[Adam puts his thumb over part of it and shows it's the perfect shape of the them and hand as if grasping tightly.]
Will: Yeah... its a bruise or blood... you know from slicing off her hands, I just said that.
Adam: But look.. it's upside down... If he was cutting like this the saw would be under him and if it was during the rape... it should be the other direction.
Will: Adam we’ve been at this for hours... there is nothing here, lets just get some sleep and regroup in the morning..
Adam: There has got to be something Will.. anything....
Will: Well it would help if we knew what we were looking for!
Adam: I don’t know! I mean just look at this... every single murder is exactly alike. It’s creepy... every victim exactly the same... college students living alone, trying to get through school, killed in their homes struggling to get by, alone, and not a trace of evidence... except for a semen sample that has been completely untraceable.
Will: Ok.. call me crazy here, but these seem a little too well done, you know what I mean? Every one of these murders sounds like a stalking victim.... yet every employee on every campus was questioned and had DNA tests taken and nobody reports any suspicious people hanging around spying on these girls... what kind of ordinary rapist puts this much effort into finding these specific women?
Adam: Will... they almost sound... professional.
Will: A professional serial rapist and murderer?
Adam: A professional at finding people, a professional at profiling....
Will: No.
Adam: yes.
Will: You’re not suggesting.....
Adam: DUDE! Think about it! You said it yourself...
Will: Adam... you’re just saying this because the guy and Kelly are really hitting it off... you don’t really think somebody working so closely ON this case would actually do this do you?
Adam: I don’t know... but It’s worth looking into, I think it’s time we played our ace up our sleeves..
Will: Oh no... not Zelda...
[We fade out for another commercial break for a few brief moments before we come back.]
-------------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK-------------------------
[Adam and Will walk into the police station at night with Zelda between them in her pajamas, looking half asleep. The walkd by the receptionist officer behind the desk.]
Adam: Hey Julie, Zelda left some work here for her school project, we’re just going back to the chief’s office to grab it ok?
Julie: Why you two?
Will: Zelda’s sleeping over at our place and you know Gib.. he hates that part of town...
Adam: Plus he’s such a hardass, he said “she’ll never learn” if we just bail her out whenever she’s in trouble... but this project is really important to her....
[Adam nudges Zelda from behind who rolls her eyes before taking another nude. She sighs then tears starting forming in her eyes as she begins crying.]
Zelda: **sniffles** Yeah if I don’t get this finished I’ll fail World history and I’ll have to take it again **sniffles** next year and daddy will....
Julie: It’s ok honey, it’s ok... you guys just head back there and get what you need and be quick about it... I’ll leave it between us ok sweetheart.
Zelda: **sniffles** Thank you Julie.
[The three quickly head to Gib’s office as Zelda wipes away the fake tears, they slide in through the door and quickly shut it behind them. Will jumps on lookout duty as Adam and Zelda head behind the computer at his desk.]
Adam: Wow you are one shrewd manipulator Zelda.
Zelda: Yeah yeah, can we just hurry up so I can get back home and go to sleep?
Adam: Well hurry up and log us in.
Zelda: Done.. Daddy’s password is so easy to figure out. He really should secure it better...
Adam: Yeah whatever... no time to worry about that right now... He's gotta have some files, or there has got to be some system that has files on this Joe Everyman guy, he's working here so we have to have something...
Zelda: Well, will this due?
[Will walks over to see what Zelda has brought up onto the screen. Adam clicks a few buttons and looks over everything that is written out in front of him. He finally stops after making another click and starts smiling.]
Will: Does that say what I think it says....
Zelda: He got expelled from A&M?
Adam: Sexual Assault?
Will: It says the case was dropped and no charges were brought up... You're going down a dead end road Adam.
Adam: Just wait, give me three minutes and I'll find it...
Will: That's what she said.
Adam: Oh come on, no tomfoolery right now.
Will: That's also what she said.
Adam: Dammit! The guys record is like spotless...
Will: Face it Adam... he's a good guy.
Adam: Zelda... one more thing... Is there a way to check that database with all those DNA samples and fingerprints in it?
Will: Adam they already did that with that... uh...
Adam: Uhh.. DNA... they found?
Will: Right.
Zelda: Guys, I know what semen is.
[Adam and Will both nervously look around and cough, before they ignore it.]
Adam: Just look up Joe Everyman in there... I'm not running anything we don't have a lab or anything.... just check it.
Zelda: That's funny..
Will: Like Sarah Silverman “that's cute that she tries to be funny” funny? Or like Dane Cook “Why do people show up here” funny?
Zelda: I... I don't know how to answer that... just look.
Adam: No record found.....
Will: Aren't all law employees supposed to do be in this?
Adam: Yes... they are, these were in here... somebody deleted them...
Will: Adam I know what you're thinking... don't get carried away like the time you...
[Adam throws his fist forward in celebration.]
Adam: It’s him! It’s him, it's gotta be him!
Will: Adam.. how could he erase his own files... he’s just a criminal profiler... he doesn't have that kind of access
Adam: Whose best friend just happens to be the head detective for the Houston police....
[Adam stops and his jaw drops. Images flash on the screen of the upside down thumb shaped bruise on the victims wrist, we see a small flash back of Kelly saying it was almost like two separate crimes and we see Kanyon and Joe together inside the briefing room]
Adam: “it's almost like it's two separate crimes”
Will: Are you ok?
Adam: That's what Kelly said back at the crime scene and Joe instantly said “exactly” but then tried to spin it as bipolar.. dude it was two separate crimes, it's like they're tag teaming these victims... one wants rape... the other wants murder... OH MY GOD... they seek out the same victims... stalk them and then.... do it.
Zelda: Monsters....
Will: Come on Adam this isn't damning evidence here...
Adam: Well if he's got nothing to hide, he won't mind taking a DNA test will he?
Will: What are we going to do? We didn't exactly have permission to do this you know.
Adam: We're going to be forced to tell somebody...
Will: You mean like real cops do?
Adam: Oh shut up and just come with me... lets find Kelly...
[Adam, Will and Zelda jump up from where they're sitting and head out of the station to go to Kelly and we have another quick scene change.]
[When we come back we see Adam, Will, and Zelda following Kelly up Chief Gib's driveway and Kelly doesn't look please.]
Kelly: Adam you've gone too far this time... I'm telling the chief, this is low even for you!
Adam: Kelly this is serious!
[Kelly knocks on the door and not long afterwards is answered as Gib stands there. Kelly begins talking to him frantically telling him what Adam, Will and Zelda did. We flash over to Adam and Will instead of hearing what we already know.]
Will: Dammit Adam... they'll never hire us again thanks to you and your vandetta!
Adam: He's gotta believe us or they are going to get away with this.
Gib: ZELDA GO TO YOUR ROOM! You're grounded for a year!
Zelda: Thanks a lot guys... gah...
Gib: AND YOU TWO!
[Zelda lowers her head and slowly drags her way into the house as Adam and Will take a large gulp of air.]
Gib: That's it... you two are done in this town, I'm having your licenses revoked and putting you in jail for obstructing an investigation and for hacking and anything else I can think of! I knew you two would pull crap like this... but involving my teenage daughter and your sister? That's just pathetic Adam.
Adam: Gib please...
Gib: No, this is unforgivable!
Adam: GIB LISTEN TO ME! I know I'm a horrible step son to you, I know I threw a big hissyfit when you made Kelly Detective... but I'm begging you please... just at least bring in this guy and question him why those files were deleted, just bring him in and see! Nobody has to know it was me who did the background search... but there if nothing else is cause to ask him to take the DNA test...
[Gib looks at the seriousness on Adam's face and sighs long and loud, and Kelly looks shocked.]
Kelly: You're actually going to give in to this crazy talk!?
Will: Isn't it Hardy who is usually standing there trashing us?
Adam: yeah.. not a very flattering side of Kelly...
Kelly: Shut up you two. Gib!
Gib: They've got a point... it's fishy if nothing else... and there's no harm in checking.
[Adam and Wil nod their heads, Adam offers his fist for a fist bump and Will accepts and we quickly fade one more time before the commercial break.]
[We come back in Gib's office where we see Hardy, Kelly, Adam and Will standing outside the office door.]
Adam: They don't suspect anything do they?
Kelly: No... because they have nothing to hide.
Hardy: It's going to be so great seeing you two get canned for this
Will: I can't believe you told Hardy of all people Kelly...
Kelly: Oh, I'm telling EVERYBODY about it once they clear Joe's name...
Adam: what in the hell do you see in that guy?
Kelly: Well, I don't know... maybe it's the fact he treats me with respect and acts like I'm a woman... could be that.
Adam: Hey! I always told you how important you were to me...
Kelly: Yeah, afer I spent a week trying to get your attention...
Adam: Kelly...
Hardy: Can it! Here they come.
[Joe and Curtis come walking up smiling at all four of them, but Joe especially at Kelly, who he almost immediately goes to greet personally.]
Joe: It's good to see you again Miss Fox....
Kelly: I had a great time last night...
Joe: Well, I'll just have to make sure to do it again sometime won't I?
Hardy: Come on you two... the chief wants you in his office.
[Hardy opens the door and lets them in, he follows for some protection as Adam, Kelly, and Will stand outside.]
Adam: LAST NIGHT!? What the hell? You dating this shmuck after one day!?
Kelly: We had dinner, since when do I answer to you?
Adam: I can't believe you Kelly... this guy comes in saying you're pretty and you're fawning over him!
Kelly: You're just jealous Adam, you always are when you think somebody is smarter or better looking or is getting close with me...
Adam: That is so not true.
Will: Dude... it totally is.
Adam: Whose side are you on!?
Will: The right side.... you know you didn't like this guy from the second he and Kelly talked...
[Suddenly the door bursts open and Joe comes running out, he sprints past everybody standing there. Adam turns and looks at Kelly and Will grinning then throws his index finger in their face.]
Adam: FACE! Wait crap.. we should catch him shouldn't we? GO!
[Hardy comes busting out of the office now with his gun drawn.]
Hardy: GET HIM! Gib's got Kanyon....GO!
[All four take off but it's too late, Joe is like a cat and is long gone.]
Will: SONOVA! What happened?
Hardy: Chief started questioning him, he panicked... clocked his partner in the back of the head into Gib at his desk, kicked me as I was reaching for my firearm and took off.
Kelly: Why are all you people just standing around? Didn't anybody chase the crazy guy running out of the police station?!
Julie: No... he he he... grabbed a hostage as he was running out...
Will: A hostage?! Who could he have...
Adam: No...
[Adam falls to his knee and picks a Nintendo 3DS off the floor and stands back up... gasps and awes as we fade to commercial.]
-------------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK-------------------------
[Adam stands over Kanyon who falls into a chair holding his face in pain, Adam steps forward and again backhands him with a furious blow. Everybody else in the room runs up and tries to restrain Adam but it's not working too well.]
Adam: WHERES MY SISTER?! TELL ME YOU SON OF A BITCH!
Curtis: I'm not with him!
Adam: Then how could he do all this?! He had to have help!
Curtis: I don't know, we are best friends... or were that son of a bitch stabbed me in the back too, he probably knew enough from us being so close! I'm head Detective, so he had access all the time... I trusted him!
[Gib walks into the room looking all somber, he sees Adam being held back by Hardy and another officer. He waves his arm at them.]
Gib: Let him go, we have more urgent things to worry about... Like finding my daughter.
Will: Come on Curtis... you know the guy better than anybody... where could he be?
Curtis: Dammit.. I should of seen it coming he was down her before the murder even happened... nobody connected those dots..
Adam: Wait wait wait.. You knew he was here when the murder happened?!
Curtis: Yes, he was called in for another case... to give a profile on another perp.
Gib: That's right.
Will: Well then... lets go check his hotel room, see I we can find anything right? We have to hurry.
Kelly: Yeah... come on, lets go.
Curtis: I'm going with you.
Adam: NO! I'm not sure if we can trust you, I...
Curtis: LOOK! I'm your best chance at catching him... I can help I'm going to bring my former best friend to justice if it kills me!
Adam: Ok... lets go... Hardy you stay here with Gib and help us on the radio if you hear anything deal?
Gib: Adam...
[Gib grabs Adam's shoulders and squeezes him tight as he stares into Adam's eyes.]
Gib: Please save my daughter.
Adam: I won't let anything happen to her...
[Adam, Kelly, Will and Curtis sprint out of the police station, and head to the hotel room. They quickly arrive there and head straight for the room and swinging it wildly open. They take a quick look around with weapons drawn but see nothing.]
Adam: Dammit he's not here... come on there has got to be some clue here! Think Kanyon!
Curtis: Look! I think it's pretty obvious I didn't know the guy like the back of my hand ok... lets just look around and think...
Will: Well he couldn't have gotten very far right? He was running out of a police station with with a young girl in a choke hold! So obviously he didn't get back here and he obviously couldn't have gotten too far away.
Kelly: Great point.
Adam: Yeah, lets just look around, he's got to have something... wait wait wait... He has a partner! Remember.. it's two of them...
Will: Adam we never proved that...
Adam: he does trust me I know it.. he has to... it's like Kelly said, it's two different crimes!
Curtis: We never once thought about there being an accomplice in this... you sir you're going to put all your eggs in that basket?
Adam: Think about it! He didn't have time to stalk this woman, Will you're the one who said that... all the victims were picked out in a way it had to be somebody who had a ton of access to these women's lives!
Will: Yeah yeah, that's right... and Kanyon said he wasn't in Dallas long before the murder and then just staying up here for the case! So he and somebody must be working together!
Adam: Think Curtis... not about Joe... but the victims... is there any place they all commonly visited other than school... a common place where they had personal information...banks.. something...
Curtis: Well there was one thing...
Adam: YES!?
Curtis: But it was stupid, everybody dismissed it as just be coincidence...
Adam: Look Curtis! If I would of just backed off because somebody told me it was “coincidence” we wouldn't even be here right now knowing that Joe was a rapist! What is it... anything!
[Curtis stops and thinks... then he lets out a big sigh.]
Curtis: Ok, well... from all our interviews and testimonies taken from people who knew the victims we found out they had taken their.. uhhh computers in for repairs in the weeks leading up to their murders... but so many young kids need comps for college and it being in different cities and at different places.... it was just...
Will: You know that makes sense... there should be all kinds of personal information on their computers.... find their name, if they're not smart... log into their networking accounts... I mean...
Curtis: Everybody said it was crazy... but I just distinctly remembering it was weird because it seemed to come up in every victims run down... that they had been having computer troubles, a boyfrend, parents, all saying it with different victims.
Adam: Ok that's good.. so where where where!?
Kelly: Wait, I got it, everybody jump in the car and I'll radio Hardy and Gib and ask them to ask for any local computer shops that opened up lately, maybe they can find something in the computers.
Will: And make sure they are walking distance from the police station!
[We quickly fade out as everybody takes off for Kelly's car again, Adam is the first one there sliding into the passenger seat as everybody else takes their places. We take a quick fade out as the scene changes but just for a second.]
Adam: Are you sure this is the most likely place?
Kelly: It's our safest bet from everything we could think of...
Will: Sensible computer repair...
Curtis: That Hardy guy said there was a witness seeing two people who fit the description of Joe and Zelda just a few blocks away from here... this is it if we were right...
Will: And if they haven't left already...
Kelly: Backup should be here any second...
Adam: not enough time.. I'm going in...
Kelly: Adam don't!
Adam: Kelly I have to save my sister...
[Adam stares at Kelly with fire and determination burning in his eyes, she knows this is something she can't stop.]
Kelly: Take my shot gun out of the car if you're going to insist...
Adam: Thanks Kel...
Kelly: Stay on the radio too.. We're going to try to give you some support from out here...
Will: I'm coming with you....
Kelly: Be careful.... please.
[Adam nods his head before he grabs the shotgun and then begins sneaking up on the store. He and Will are side by side as they sneak up towards the front door of the place. They both look into the windows but don't see anything, Adam grabs the door handle and tries to open it, but it's locked. He takes the shotgun and smashes the handle off and pushes the door open.]
Will: Good job Captain Subtle.
Adam: Shut up... I'll take point... be on the look out dude.
Will: Lets do this...
[Will and Adam walks slowly into the building, there is a small hall way in the darkened place that leads to another room in the back, Adam points towards it and he and Will head in, however just as Adam steps in the all a lead pipe comes from behind the corner behind him and clocks Will in the back of the head. Adam spins around and there is Joe Everyman standing there smiling with a gun in his other hand. Adam turns back around and standing there with a gun in his hand as well is... ?!]
Adam: Consuela!? What are you doing here.... oh...my...god....
Sense: The name is Lex Sense.. and you two morons are going to die... but I've got some good news.. I think we'll save your little sister once we dispose of you morons. I knew you two would be brought onto the case, so there I was in your office the whole time knowing just how close you were....
Adam: Then why didn't you tip Joe off that we were on to him!?
Sense: I didn't realize you had found him out after you left the office to get your little bitch of a sister.... then he like a dumbass walked right into that little setup and panicked!
Joe: I'm sorry, I didn't know what to do!
Sense: Anything but run!
Joe: STOP YELLING AT ME!
Adam: Both of you just shut up and give me my sister!
Sense: I'm sorry... but there are two of us and only one of you... Your buddy is out...
Adam: Will!? Ha, a hit to the head doesn't keep him down, he'll jump up and mess your buddy up any second now....
[Lex looks at Joe and nods, Joe grabs Will's head and lifts it up showing him out as he puts the point of the gun into Will's temple. Lex laughs and points at that scene for Adam to look at, but Adam does no such thing, instead he charges at Sense and shoves the butt of the shotgun up into his chin sending him back and falling to the ground, Adam jumps on top of him and Everyman aims his gun, he stands up and is about to take the shot when... BOOOM! Curtis stands there with his gun smoking and Everyman falls to the ground dead.]
Curtis: Why did you do this to me Joe? Why did you stab me in the back!
[Curtis walks over to Joe, turns him over and touches his face as he clinches his fist, knowing it's what he had to do. Curtis closes Everyman's eyes as Sense is subdued by Adam who has him in a death hold.]
Sense: DAMMIT. That idiot....
[Kelly rushes in as Adam gets up and heads to the back room, he frantically looks around and finally sees Zelda sitting there duct taped in a chair. Adam rips the tape off her mouth and then begins working on getting her out of the chair.]
Zelda: Took you long enough.
Adam: **laughs** Sorry sis... got here as fast as I could.
[Adam grabs a knife on a nearby table and cuts through the tape, Zelda falls out of the chair to her side landing with her arms wrapped tightly around Adam's neck as she begins crying.]
Zelda: Th...thank you.
[Kelly walks into the room and puts her hand on Adam's shoulder.]
Kelly: Good job...
Adam: Thank you Kelly...
Kelly: No... if it wasn't for you, Zelda would be dead right now... I didn't believe you... others would be dead...
Adam: Kelly it wasn't...
[Adam cant' stop her as Zelda has too tight of a grip. Kelly turns around and heads away through the police reinforcements filing into the building now to take care of the body and Sense, we take the last commercial break.]
-------------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK-------------------------
[We come back after the last commrecial and we see Adam and Will sitting out side against the building. Zelda is still with Adam and Will is rubbing the back of his head in pain.]
Will: Good job dude.. I didn't see the jerk coming he was like a ninja or something.
Adam: I couldn't have done it without you pal... don't sweat it.
Zelda: Thank you Will.. you were so brave...
[Zelda leans over Adam and kisses Will on the cheek.]
Will: You know, that just makes this all worth it... just don't tell anybody... don't want any statutory rape charges pinned on me.
Zelda: Especially after Farmer Mortimer....
Will: DROP IT!
[Gib walks up to the three sitting there. He's clearly fighting back a ton of emotions, Zelda rushes up and throws her arms around him.]
Gib: Adam, I don't know how I'll ever thank you...
Adam: Thank Everybody who helped....
Gib: But you espcially....
Adam: You could give me my badge back... or at least give me some better jobs when you get them...
Gib: I'll get right on looking into that.... come on Zelda... thank you again guys....
[Gib and Zelda walk off out of view from the camera as Adam and Will stand to their feet.]
Will: What do we do now?
Adam: I don't care... lets just get away from here ok?
Will: Alright man... lets head out... I'm thinkin... Arby's.
[Adam looks around, he's hesitant for some reason. He looks over and spots Kelly standing with Hardy, Kelly's expression seems down.]
Adam: Hey Will, if you don't mind there is something I want to do...
[Will looks over and sees where Adam's eyes are.]
Will: I understand dude... I'll wait for you in the car.
[Adam walks up and as he does, Hardy sees him and steps out of the picture, Adam grabs Kelly's hands and looks up at her.]
Adam: Kelly...
[He doesn't have a chance to say anything as Kelly leans up and gives him a quick kiss on the lips. Adam's eyes go wide as he stares at herand then.... RIDE INTO THE DANGER ZONE! The scene fades away as Adam is talking on the phone and the credits begin to roll signaling the end of another exciting episode of Knitington slowly fades away.]
