Dewey had just got off the phone with his mom who told him Randy and Tessa had had an argument.

"Hi I'm Gale Weathers, Field Correspondent, Top Story".

Dewey turned around to see the beautiful woman and said "I know who you are ma'am. How's the eye?"He asked seeing the bruise.

"It's productive" She smiled.

Dewey walked towards the entrance to the school. Gale followed him. "Are they closing the school?" she then asked.

"Just for the time being. We are putting a curfew in too" Dewey informed her.

"And why is that?" She asked.

"You're not supposed to be here" He informed her not wanting her to know the whole truth.

"I know, I should be in New York covering the Sharon Stone stalker but who knew? You look awfully young to be a police officer" She smiled admiring him.

"I'm twenty-five years old ma'am" he remarked.

"Wow only twenty-five? In a demographic study I proved to be most popular amongst males 11-24, guess I just missed you. Of course you don't look a day over 12. Except in that upper torso area. Does the force require you to work out?" She asked flirting and looking him up and down.

Dewey was blushing and trying to avoid looking at her "No ma'am because of my boyish good looks and muscle mass it has increased my acceptance as a serious police officer".

Suddenly they both here Mr Himbry on the school's PA system saying "I need your attention now kids. Due to recent events, all classes are suspended until further notice. The police have also asked me to announce a city wide curfew beginning at 6PM".

"Is it really a serial killer?" Gale asked Dewey.

"Serial killer isn't really accurate. Got to knock off a couple more to get that title" Dewey responded.

"Well we can hope can't we? We certainly don't have any leads. Have you located Sidney's father?" Gale asked.

"Not yet" Dewey said quietly.

"He's not a suspect is he?" She asked.

"We haven't ruled out the possibility" Dewey answered.

"How's your sister?" Gale asked.

"Which one?" Dewey asked.

"Tessa. Have they found the person who attacked her?" Gale asked.

"She's fine, thank you for asking. We still don't know who attacked her" Dewey said.

"I heard her boyfriend Randy Meeks was not responsible" Gale said.

"He is not her boyfriend. And he has a rock solid alibi" Dewey told her.

"I was told she believed she was on the phone to her boyfriend and that is why she went out in the dark to meet him" Gale said.

"Whoever told you that was wrong. They are nothing more than friends" Dewey put her right."Now if you'll excuse me" he then said walking away.

"I'm sorry am I keeping you?" She caught up to him.

"That's alright. If I may so Ms Weathers, you are much prettier in person" he said taking his cap off.

Dewey started to walk up the steps "So you do watch the show?" Gale said to him.

"I'm 25 years old. I was 24 for a whole year" Dewey said.

"You are cute. But please call me Gale" She said back at him.

Sidney and Tatum were leaving school grounds with Stu.

"It was just a sick fuck having a laugh Sid" Tatum said to her after she suspected the killer attacked her again in the girl's bathroom.

"It was him Tatum, I know it" Sidney replied.

"You are not be alone again. If you pee, I pee" Tatum said.

"This is cool Sid" Stu said insensitively. "Whatever you did, the school body thanks you".

"Not cool Stu" Tatum said.

"To celebrate this impromptu break, I say we have a party at my house" Stu suggested.

Sidney unimpressed "Are you serious?" she asked.

"Just a few of us Sid. Nothing big. Bring Tess too" Stu suggested.

"Don't fucking invite douchebag" Tatum demanded.

"I won't invite Randy" Stu lied. He was determined to get Randy and Tessa together.

"This could be good Sid. What do you think?" Tatum asked.

"I don't know" Sidney said.

"Come on, pathos can have it's perks" Tatum remarked.

"Remember safety in numbers" Stu added.

Sidney thought about it before deciding. " Yeah, ok.. whatever".

"Cool, see you girls tonight, bring food" Stu said before kissing Tatum and leaving.

Sidney and Tatum arrived back at the Riley household. Tatum unlocked the front door and they both walked in.

"Mom! Tess!" Tatum shouted.

Tessa's bedroom door opened and she walked down the stairs "Hey girls, how was school?".

"Well I got attacked again in the girl's bathroom" Sidney said.

"What? Are you alright?" Tessa asked concerned.

"I'm fine. They think it was just someone mucking about but I don't agree" Sidney said.

"What have you been doing today?" Tatum asked Tessa.

"Randy came round" Tessa answered with deep sadness.

"You don't sound happy? What did he say?" Tatum asked as the three girls went and sat outside the front door.

"We talked. We fell asleep together" Tessa said.

Both girl's eyes lit up "And??" Tatum asked.

"I fucked up" Tessa said trying to not cry.

"What did you do?" Sid asked.

"He asked me whether I believed he was the attacker until it was proven he wasn't. And I told him honestly I thought he was. He then stormed out" Tess said.

Tatum and Sid both out their arm around her "He'll come around" Tatum said.

"Mom said the same" Tess said "But I doubt it. I basically told him I couldn't trust him. Not the best way to start a relationship together is it?".

"Ah shit Tess. But then I'm in the same situation as you. I couldn't trust Billy. I believed he was the one who attacked me" Sid said.

"He's not like Randy though. Randy's sensitive" Tess said. "Anyway can we drop it?" she then asked.

"Come to Stu's tonight Tess. He's having a little party and he wants you to come" Tatum smiled.

"Oh I don't know. What if Randy's there?" Tessa asked.

"I asked Stu to not invite him. But.. if he does turn up make him jealous. Plenty of single guys start flirting with one of them infront of him" Tatum smirked "He won't be able to handle it".

Tessa gave it thought and did like the sound of it "Yes I'll come".

"Yay!" Tatum smiled hugging her sister "I'm going to dress you tonight. We're the same size so my clothes will fit you".

"Ok" Tess smiled "I'm going back in now".

Tess stood up and walked back in the house.

"When I've finished with her Randy won't be able to avoid her" Tatum smirked.

"You're determined to get them together?" Sid asked.

"Yes. Dress her up. Get her flirting with the other guys. He won't be able to ignore her and we get them talking!" Tatum smirked.

Changing the subject back to Sid "Maybe Cotton Weary was having an affair with your mom. Maybe he was telling the truth?".

"So you believe my mom was a slut?" Sid asked.

"I didn't say that Sid. But there were rumors. Your dad was always out of town on business. Maybe your mom was just an unhappy woman?" Tatum said.

"If they were having an affair then how come Cotton couldn't prove it in court?" Sidney asked.

"Well you can't prove a rumor, that's why it's a rumor" Tatum remarked.

"Yeah, created by that tabloid bitch Gale Weathers" Sidney said.

"It goes further back Sid. There's been talk of other men" Tatum said trying to be careful.

"And you believe it?" Sidney asked.

"Well you can only hear that Richard Gere-gerbil story so many times before you have to start believing it" Tatum said.

Sidney stood up and was trying to analyze the situation. "You know if I was wrong then the killer is still out there?".

"Don't go there Sid. You're starting to sound like some Wes Carpenter flick. Don't freak yourself out. We've got a long night ahead of us".

They were being watched.

At the video store Randy was at work trying hard to forget what had happened between him and Tess.

Stu came up behind him and knocked the videos out of his hands "Jesus, this place is packed tonight".

Randy bent down and picked the videos up " Yeah, we had a run in the mass murder section".

"You coming tonight?" Stu asked having lied to Tatum.

"If Tessa isn't going to be there then I'm there" Randy said.

"I asked Tate and she said Tess isn't feeling up to it" Stu said lying.

"Is she alright?" Randy said with concern.

"She's upset over what happened between you two" Stu said.

"So am I. She thought I hurt her. I could never do that. I..." Randy said before stopping talking.

"I.. what?" Stu asked.

"I love her" Randy whispered quietly.

"Seriously?" Stu said in disbelief.

"Yes. But we can't be together now. I can't be with someone who could believe I could hurt them like that" Randy said.

"Billy forgave Sid when she thought he attacked her" Stu said.

"I know. But I'm not him. I can't just forget it" Randy said "Anyway, moving on" Randy turned to see Billy "Now that's in poor taste, if you're a suspect in a senseless bloodbath, would you be standing in the horror section?".

"What?" Stu asked before turning round and seeing Billy flirting with two girls.

"It was just a misunderstanding, he didn't do anything" Stu then added.

"You're such a little lapdog" Randy smirked. "He's got killer printed all over his forehead".

"Then why did the police let him go?" Stu asked.

"Because they obviously don't watch enough scary movies. This is standard horror movie stuff. Prom Night revisited" Randy remarked.

"Why would he kill his own girlfriend?" Stu asked.

"There's always some stupid bullshit reason to kill your girlfriend. That's the beauty of it. Simplicity. Besides, if it gets too complicated you lose your target audience" Randy stated.

"So what's his reason?" Stu asked.

"Maybe Sidney wouldn't have sex with him" Randy suggested.

"No, I think it's her father" Stu said. "Why cant they find her dad?".

"Because he's probably dead. His body will come popping out in the last reel somewhere. See the police are always off track with this shit, if they'd watch Prom Night they'd save time. There's a formula to it, a very simple formula,everyone's a suspect" Randy shouted getting rid of some of his frustrations.

Billy then grabbed him from behind "How do we know you're not the killer?" He said with creepy eyes.

"Uhh Hi Billy" Randy said nervously.

"Maybe your movie-freaked mind lost it's reality button?" Billy suggested.

"You're absolutely right. I'm the first to admit it. If this were a scary movie, I'd be the prime suspect" Randy said.

"And what would be your motive?" Stu asked.

"It's the millennium. Motives are incidental" Randy said.

Back at the Riley household Dewey had just come in the door.

"Dewey! Can you take us to the shop?" Tatum asked.

"Why?" Dewey asked.

"Stu is having a little party tonight and wants us to bring food" Tatum replied.

"Mom will kill me Tate!" Dewey exclaimed.

"Please!! The three of us will be together and we'll be with others" Tatum tried to reassure him.

"Hmm.. Ok get in the three of you" Dewey said giving in.

Dewey drove them into town. It was quiet. They all got out of the car.

"God, it's like the Town That Dreaded Sundown" Sidney observed the quietness.

"I saw that movie. It's about a killer from Texas" Dewey said.

"Hey Sid, Tess, just think if they made a movie about you,who's gonna play you?"Tatum asked.

Dewey looked at both Tess and Sid "I see you Sid as a young Meg Ryan, and you Tess as a young Diane Keaton".

"Thanks Dewey. With my luck they'd cast Tori Spelling" Sid remarked.

"And I'd get Rose McGowan" Tess laughed.

"You girls don't go too far. I'll only be a few minutes" Dewey said as the three girls walked to the shop.

"Is Billy going to be there?" Sid asked.

"I told Stu to not let him or Randy know" Tatum said "But incase Randy is there we have a plan don't we? Flirt,flirt,flirt. Make him see what he's missing out on".

"You're right Tate" Tess smiled.

The three girls stocked up on frozen pizza, ice cream,chips and dips and booze.

At the police station Dewey was eating an ice cream.

"Dewey where the hell have you been?" Burke asked furious.

"Keeping an eye on Sid and Tess" Dewey replied between licking his ice cream cone.

"Listen up Dewey. Aircomp just faxed us. Those calls were listed to Neil Prescott. He made those phonecalls with his cellular phone, it's been confirmed" Burke informed him.

"And there's no way his cell could have been cloned?" Dewey asked not being able to believe Sid's father was responsible.

"There's more. Guess what tomorrow is? The anniversary of his wife's death" Burke told him.

"We'll keep the curfew in effect and the roadblocks. If he's not picked up by morning then we'll do a house to house" Burke added.

"Ok Sir" Dewey replied.

"Where's Sidney and Tessa?" Burke asked.

"They're with Tatum. Do you want me to bring them in?" Dewey asked.

"Not just yet. Stay close to them" Burke ordered.

"They'll be at Stu Macher's tonight" Dewey told him.

"Then you be there too" Burke said.

"Yes sir" Dewey said.

Dewey left Burke and walked back to the car where the three girls were waiting for him holding bags.

"Come on, let's get you girls home" Dewey said letting them in the car and driving off.
