LIV and FITZ lie face to face…propped on their elbows…his right leg is between her knees… and her left leg on top of his right…
Liv, says, "Honey… you know about my… wash Cloth Diapers…? I develop them for our kids."
"Yes... because of the disposables clogging the landfills… what about it?" FITZ asked. His eyes search the contours of her face turned up to his.
"The idea has caught on and I have offers from
"GRANT to GRANT"
the diaper industry…those with deep pockets made a proposal for a bunch of money for me to sell… if the enterprise can be profitable… what do you think?"
"It'll save the landfills…Is there a way to circumvent part of the earnings to help the needy? Because you don't really need the money." he said.
LIV said, "I could have that included in the original contract… it'll take care of the landfills."
"Good deal… let's get down to some serious kissing and stuff…" he said…with a lascivious look in his eyes.
She was… as usual ready and willing.

JAKE with a full beard… stood looking out over the early morning mist filled mountains… the wooded areas are green and lush…
FLASHBACK:
Memories of OLIVIA, their long walks on the Island beach, her in sun hat and glasses and Olivia in his arms, her face turned up to his… waiting to be kissed… her fragrance haunted him, the taste of her when they made love… he ached for her. Jake had to get a grip and try to put her out of his thoughts. He went for a fast jog across the trails, and through the woods of the Carpathians.
INT: A BEDROOM_DAY
The bed is covered with blood…. A shower is heard in the background… minutes pass when a door

slams. …The body beside the bed is found hours later… muscle spasms had not receded…it in reality had formed a solid human statue.
INT: MORGUE_DAY
INTERCUT PHONE CONVERSATION:
THE MEFICAL EXAMINER says to MARK
HALEY,"Mark…our corpse JIM ROACH, a wealthy man with fading good looks, in his death proves one thing… you can't take it with you…I know the killer knows his or her chemistry."
MARK answered, "Cute….Do you make things up off the top of your head… Come on Doc what did you find… I've got work to do…"
MEDICAL EXAMINER replied, "His body in death
"GRANT to GRANT"
has the rigid form of a human granite Greek statue… Autopsy findings showed… green tea, a meal of green beans, potato, vegetable salad… a plant ingredient and one that's not readily recognized …which will prolong the autopsy process."
MARK responded "So… I had a good meal…but I'm not on your table….I just ask what for GOD's sake… 'what' killed the guy?"
THE MEDICAL EXAMINER said,"I can't tell you more until I find the substance…not normally used in murders…it appears a homemade poison"
MARK said, "Thanks for nothing… I'm coming down and we can hash this out…"
The connection is broken. Mark gets up
"GRANT to GRANT"
hurriedly …the phone sounds, he answers, "The
Seventy Seventh..." he is stopped with the news saying,"You're joking?" hangs up saying,"Hey MURPHY… get your stuff we have another statue in another part of the precinct."
MURPHY said, "Lucky us." And followed Mark.

NEWSCASTER saying,"Ladies and Gentlemen the police are baffled by four murders…Number three was found alive and in critical condition in Mercy Hospital as we speak. The police haven't an idea of the person, or the cause of the killings. Samples of the poison were sent to the F.B.I. labs for evaluation."
INT: ASSOCIATES CONFERENCE ROOM_DAY
MARK and MURPHY waited… FITZ said, "I have ask Doctor Dabney to come in today to try and
"GRANT to GRANT"
work up some kind of profile for these murders…he seems to be the most qualified to ask."
MARK said, "We know him he's done work for the department before… and he helped solve the police murders."
Dr. DABNEY as usual rush in says, "I'm sorry to be late." Do quick… handshakes all around. Then says, "What can I do for you today?" and was seated.
FITZ said, "This is Mark and Murphy of the Seventy Seventh…. We need your expertise in solving a very strange case."
Dr. DABNEY said, "Yes I know them … good to see you again… I've read your case files… we need to
"GRANT to GRANT"
evaluate your findings…pick it apart so to speak… but before we get started I want you to see the one who got away a real comedian… it'll be more clear… we need to meet in one hour… the only one that got away, he's at Mercy Hospital a 'funny' man…Okay… we'll meet in one hour…" he rushed out.
INT: HOSPITAL ROOM_DAY
Oxygen cannula in the patient' nose, Intravenous solutions infuses into a vein, and emergency equipment stood in a corner. The patient appeared nervous his eyes darting all around agitated; afraid, he seemed to draw away from the visitors in fear.
JASPER KRAEMER, the patient still partly frozen as if on all fours, legs bent… arms out stretched… although his eyes were clear.
DR. DABNEY said, "Jasper I asked these men here today for you to tell them everything you told me.
"GRANT to GRANT"
…Tell us from the beginning what happened?"
JASPER started slowly hesitantly saying, "I had the phone call…" (His speech intelligent COMEDIC) "The message was GET YOUR GROOVE ON…our pass word all I need to know man…. I arrived and she said… 'I brought sweet tea have a nice cold cup before we get down'…. So I had two swallows but it was too sweet…didn't take more than two swallows … I undressed and was about to climb over the foot of the bed…. I felt my muscles getting stiff…. As I climbed on the bed in my tightie whites….suddenly the bitch springs upright …man I fell over backward on the floor…."
MARK asked,"What did she look like?"
JASPER said, "Who knows man I was ready to get my groove on… who looks at faces? She wore
"GRANT to GRANT"
black lace underwear with gloves to match… what more do you need to know?"
DR. DABNEY asked, "Did she speak except to tell you about the tea?"
JASPER continued louder, "No …we weren't there to talk I mean the bitch just WHAMMO springs to a sitting position no help … no pushing herself up…just WHAMMO there she was her eyes were 'DEMONIC' and this ghoulish grin on her pale face …I'd heard of Demons from my mother, never saw one 'til now….man I fell over on the floor … I think that's when I pissed my pants…I'm telling you the chicks hair looked like something out of a horror movie I mean wild….her Demonic eyes panned from one side of the room to the other….my muscles were stiffing fast I could barely move … this heffer
"GRANT to GRANT"
Dressed, then she placed my feet and legs on the foot of the bed….it gives me this frozen seated look and her laugh….the bitch left me there…You should have heard her maniacal crazy laugh as she slams out the door….gives me goose bumps to think of it."
MURPHY asked, "How did you get free…. Your muscles were stiffing? My GOD man."
JASPER replied,"He had nothing to do with it…I managed to get my cell phone from my pants beside me on the floor…Dialed nine one… one. And here I am …safe in a hospital bed."
Dr. DABNEY said, "Heard enough?" he nodded and they left the room… the patient continued to talk as if they were still there.
"GRANT to GRANT"
FITZ and the other men left the room …They heard
Jasper saying in puzzlement, "WHAMMO….the bitch springs straight up WHAMMO…this crap is no joke man… she gave me goose bumps… the bitch is crazy."
INT: ASSOCIATES CONFERENCE ROOM _LATER, all were there.
Dr. DABNEY said,"I think we are dealing with a split personality… this one is not in a good way."
FITZ said,"I've read it… coping is our way of getting through the day… to put it simply…Jasper is funny."
Dr. DABNEY said, "Yes ….You have your copies of my report…. Now I'll give you a thumbnail review …
"GRANT to GRANT"
. Number one… I think you'll find our killers, knows chemistry…her first split happened twelve or fifteen years ago probably a child lost her parents …. It was too much for her to bare. The coping mechanism splint… something to do with that loss triggered her to action to kill… a witness saw a well dressed woman about the time of the first murder…. You'll need to search back in time to try and find it… She probably went into the Foster care system… where she suffered many abuses… prostitution being one."
MARK said, "That's one…sounds like the SCANDALIZATION of Foster Homes for kids."
Dr. DABNEY said, "Number two split occured during a homosexual sex act… the split produced a boy… sign of strength. The third being DEMONISM… WHAMMO we have JASPER beats hookers … our
"GRANT to GRANT"
Killer was abused by beating, and worship of DEMONS…. Third split….four an old woman with a basket sympathy she saw someone she finally trusted was treated cruelly…could not bare it… the fourth split… number five involved burning he had three burns on his body…. Somewhere in her past she was probably burned with cigarettes, my guess."
FITZ says, "Why is Jasper still alive?"
Dr. DABNEY. "He didn't drink it all, plus he's fit in shape…Read your reports it's all there…Five deaths, five parts of town and five perpetrators as reports show witnessed... Well folks I need to go… I have other nuts to crack… ooop I used that one …they don't let me out much….If you need me call me…I agree Jasper was funny a regular comedian…and some foster homes are breeding grounds for the making of killers."
He leaves in a rush.

five times thirty to be served in order …One hundred and fifty years and a day… bailiff take them away."
The gavel crashed down, she stood saying, "Court is adjourned."
She leaves the courtroom… reporters rush out… along with the rest of the audience.
The fallout from the trial is monumental….Grant Associates were noted to be instrumental in opening the powder keg of major crimes.
WEEKS LATER:
INT: GRANT BEDROOM _NIGHT
FITZ and LIV lie facing each other his right leg between her knees, and her left leg on top of
"GRANT to GRANT"
his…Both are propped up on their elbows face to face, she says, "Haven't I met you here before?"
"I don't know… remind me." he answered.
LIV said, "We had a baby … named ANALEIGH… with light brown curly hair and dimples."
FITZ said, "Cute kid… I remember."
"I am not nursing that kid…it's all that milk you made me drink" LIV said.
FITZ asked, "…And why not pray tell…?"
LIV answered, saying, "The kid was born with two teeth… I love her but I can't do that…"
"GRANT to GRANT"
FITZ laughed saying, "I get your point …"
Both had a hardy laugh.
She snuggles down in his arms… both fell asleep.
Rest now…before the coming storm of worldwide SCANDALS GALORE for Grant and Associates on the horizon.
THE END.
