Chapter Nine

by weirdDAR

(Monk and Trinity walk into the information house.)

Monk: (Looking around, he notices the "restroom" sign, and points to it.)

Please hurry.

(Trinity smiles)

Trinity:

I'll try.

(She walks in. Monk moves to the counter, where a magazine is sitting. It's open to page 37, and he begins reading the article.)

Monk: (Outloud, to himself)

"Mysterious tour boat goes missing." by Angela Orosco. On September 19th 1967, a tour boat touring Silent Hill's lake went missing. Police found no traces of any passenger or any boat. Some say they disappeared into the fog.

(Monk carefully turns the page.)

Oddly enough, just last year, it was reported that a tourguide saw skeleton's rise from the water, attempting to grab him. He got away safely, but was traumatized for life. More details on page 43.

(Monk carefully turns the page, and 43 has been ripped out.)

Damn.

(Trinity walks out of the restroom.)

Trinity:

Damn what?

Monk:

Damn this newspaper. Do you know anything about this?

(Monk turns back to page 37 and points to the article)

Trinity:

Yeah, but look.

(She closes the magazine.)

This is a gossip magazine. It's never based on facts. Just like the Sun, or People.

(Monk lets out a little laugh)

Monk:

Yeah, well, I guess so.

(They walk out of the information house and head down to the docks, before they can get into the boat, a voice is heard.)

Voice:

What are you doing?

(They look behind them, and the voice came from the infomration house's back door. It closes before they can see who it was.)

Monk:

Let's go see who that was.

Trinity:

Why?

Monk: (Sort of mocking Trinity)

I can feel it.

(Trinity sighs and they walk up to the backdoor and open it. They enter, and Eddie is sitting at a table, next to someone who has obviously been shot in the head.)

Eddie:

Answer my question...what are you doing?

Monk:

Well, we were going to take the boat to Lakeside hotel, but now we're finding out what you're doing here, and why you're concerned with what we're doing.

Trinity: (Whispers, sarcastically)

Nice answer.

Monk:

Thanks.

(Monk notices the dead body)

Did you do that, Eddie?

Eddie:

Why do you ask?

Monk:

Why wouldn't I ask? I mean...you're sitting next to him. You're a prime suspect.

Eddie: (Yelling)

He deserved it! He always made fun of me, and always picked on me.

Monk:

So you killed him?

Trinity:

What are you? A nine year old?

Eddie:

So you're making fun of me now?

(He pulls out a gun, and Monk immediatly pulls out his gun and points it at Eddie.)

Monk:

Don't shoot her, Eddie, it's not worth it.

Eddie: (Laughing)

What are you going to do? Shoot me? Common, you're worse than that weird guy on Wings.

Monk: (To Trinity)

I keep hearing things about that show. What's with it?

Trinity:

It was a good show.

Monk:

I heard good things.

Eddie: (Yelling)

SHUT UP! Both of you!

Monk:

Put the gun down, Eddie, and we'll talk about it.

Eddie:

What's there to talk about? I killed a guy. He deserved it. End of conversation.

Monk:

Well, I'm glad that's over. Trinity and I will be walking out the door now.

Eddie:

No! You won't!

(Eddie scratches his head with his gun. Trinity snatches Monk's gun and shoots Eddie in his left kneecap. Eddie screams and falls on the ground, dropping his gun. Monk rushes to pick it up. Monk points it at Eddie.)

Monk: (To Trinity)

That was cruel.

Trinity:

He would of shot me.

(Monk points the gun to the ceiling and pulls the trigger. Nothing.)

Monk:

No...he wouldn't of.

(Trinity laughs out of getting over the shock that she was almost shot.)

(Monk puts the gun on the table.)

Monk: (To Eddie)

Be good.

(They walk out.)

Trinity:

Now what?

Monk:

The boat. Remember?

Trinity:

Oh yeah.
