Final Cut
Chapter 4
Molly lay still in her bed, she laughed evilly in her mind, she was quite
proud of herself, she had saved Holmes' life along with her little
followers, now they owed her, *They could come in handy, favors can be VERY
useful* As she closed her eyes she pictured how she would benefit from her
new plotting..
*********************************
"Bart this project will get us all the perfect grade! It's too great!"
"Ya this time don't change my whole script along with it's concept, it's bad
enough that you changed everyone's name except for Caesar!"
"Oh gimme a break! Mr. Howie said originality is wanted! So that's exactly
what we're going to deliver, look we ll talk more about this tomorrow Im
beat"
"This is going to be awesome!"
*********************************
"Guys I dunno this whole thing is getting out of hand!"
"Shut UP Annie! If you blow this for us, I swear!"
"Both of you quite your whinning, they ll get what's coming to them, "Her
demise will be oh so sweet"
*********************************
"Shirley? You ok?"
"Ya Im fine..except I need to come up with a story to tell for why the window
is all over the floor.."
"How bout the truth?"
"What's with you Bo, we ve never blown our cover on purpose before..why
start now?"
"Shirley..what good is a cover when your..." he paused realizing the concern in his voice
".....i ll think of another story..."
"Fine .."
"What?"
"What do you mean what?"
"Forget it"
"No"
"Why are you being difficult?"
"Because!!! im trying to save you from...."your demise"
"...That's what this is about...your concerned about my welfare?"
"Of course I am, I don't want ....something like THAT do happen..." Bo
looked at the debris stationed on the ground and frowned, this case just
may be beyond us.."
Bo sat down on a near by chair and looked away from Shirley.
"Bo.."
"Ya.."
"Thank you"
Bo looked up with a questioning expression.. "For what?"
"For being here..and for saving my butt just now"
Bo smiled, "Anytime"
Shirley and Bo just stared at each other and smiled until they realized
that they had been side tracked to the case..
"So..uh about the case...got any suspects?"
"Always" smiled Shirley "First the most obvious choice being Molly Hardy
"She's ruthless and evil perfect candidate!"
"Yes. She would have been!"
"Would have? You don't sound convinced at all"
"Well just that Molly has been in the hospital since you ve been gone and
just was released recently, she hasnt been to school...however she has her
connections"
"So we cant's really rule her out...what about..Heather.."
"Hmm well last I heard she was still in the hospital"
"Ok well I can call around see if she's still there and mabye find out her
condition"
"No go, you may have to go see for yourself, Molly was her ally, who knows
where that has lead..."
"Wait a second you ..want to be left alone ...even after THAT???? no way"
"Bo it ll only be for a while, if your so concerned you can stay over and
keep a look out"
"Alright fine but I ll be back soon,..you sure you ll be ok?" his voice changed from annoyance to concern again.
"Ya I ll be fine, my parents should be home soon anyway"
"Ok...I ll see you in a bit ..." Bo paused as he looked at her. She felt his eyes peering into her soul, "Bo, welcome home..now go get outta here"
Shirley said smiling.
As Bo left he looked back to see Shirley looking at the window, after
studying her facial expressions he finally saw true fear...unfortunately it
was in his best friend.
*************************************
******** Note Candice is supposedly Cassius, Britney is Brutus, Julia is Caesar******** note also that the script is nothing like the actual play, Alicia and Bart made many modifications as you will see.
Candice: Britney come to your senses my friend, she is evil, Caesar is all
but good, she has only her interest at heart none but her own selfish heart,
are you willing to destroy Rome by letting her rule over it with her tirrant
ways-Britney we have the power to save it all, you and I possess the power
and the strength to destroy her and her wicked ways, please say you ll join
us in her destruction.
Britney: Candice you are crazy...but I trust you and if you think our dear
friend Caesar will do only evil to our wonderful Rome then my friend I stand
tall beside you and the others..but I ve got my second thoughts, I must
think it through, call me tomorrow at noon and we shall discuss this as a
group, we must remain together as a team if we are to defeat her and ways.
Candice: Yes Britney I shall meet with you tomorrow-noon, and please
remember this is our home as well as the home of many that will be destroyed
beyond recognition.
-Britney leaves
Caesar is going down...her heartless and ruthless choices will end her god
forsaken life, pity her strengths will go to waste, but everyone else shall
gain oh so much from her death-praise her, and in final cut she shall be
destroyed-the only people she shall rule will be those six feet
under...farewell fair Caesar your final hour is nearer than near.."
-Candice leaves
"Mabye Alicia is right, with these changes who knows it may prove to be a
huge success!"
thought Bart James as he closed his computer file for the night.
Leaving his computer on he dozed off. Just as it's screen saver began it was
interrupted and hours of script were meddled with.
*************************************************
"Go home son, it's very late" explained the nurse
"No you don't understand my friend really needs something that I've got if I
could just slip it under her door.." pleaded Bo
"No visitors it's 10 o clock don't you have school in the morning?"
"Tomorrow is Sunday...please.."
"No Im sorry you can give it to her tomorrow"
As the nurse fled her poste Bo found Heather's folder laying on the desk, he
found the room where she had been checked it but as he opened the door there
was nothing, no one, the forms explained Heather's serious health problems
and mental issues. Bo found a photocopier in the staff room and had almost
completed copying Heather's file when someone came to open the door. As Bo
hid behind the copier he realized that the janitor had locked the room.
"Smooth move Sawchuck now what?"
*******************************
Shirley sat in her chair, she wondered what was keeping Bo, but as the
seconds grew to minutes her eyes gave way and she had fallen asleep.
********************************
Bo searched for a window but only found one that's alarm had been set on
armed, he looked around the room until he noticed a white coat thrown onto a
chair along with it's mask, he then knocked on the door until the janitor
opened the door
"Uh.."
"Sorry doctor I didnt realize there was anyone in here"
"uh no problem, sorry I had fallen asleep and didnt notice the time"
"That's no problem Dr. Chase"
Bo's eyes looked at his coat and found the name tag "Dr. Chase", just then
there was an announcement "Dr. Chase, paging Dr. Chase your needed in er
stat"
"uh duty calls, see ya later..."
"Sure thing Doctor, ..uh the er is that way"
"Ya I knew that..."
"Shirley the things you get me into..."
"What was that doctor?"
"Uh nothing, good night"
***************************
Shirley woke up to her alarm, she didnt even remember climbing into bed, she
looked up and noticed Bo sleeping on the chair near the door.
*He stayed here all night?*
She quietly went out of bed and left to change, when she came back she found
Bo using the phone.
"Ya I ve decided to stay in Redington"
"Not only that but you stayed ALL night at Shirley's ...where did you
sleep?"
"Alicia! Grow up!"
"Hey Bart I bet Shirley is late cause she and Bo were too busy making out"
"Alicia ! ..Look a lot of weird things have been happening cut Shirley a
break, she ll be there if she's up to it"
"Alright alright, Sussex's gym, and remind her that this has to be done by
Friday!"
"Ya ok, bye"
"Alicia giving you grief huh?"
"Uh hey Shirl, how did you sleep?"
"I'm fine Bo thanks, uh did you sleep on that chair ALL night?"
"Not exactly I came back around o uhm midnight"
"Why so late?"
"Well to cut a long story short I ended up posing as a doctor in the er, and
when they weren't looking I jumped ship."
"Bo you didnt' actually DO anything did you?"
"Nothing in the ER nooo way! Have you ever seen that show it's brutal!?..But
anyway I swiped Heather's file and made a copy of the most part of it, sorry
I didnt' have enough time to get the rest the janitor kinda stole my time"
"Your going to have to tell me the full story later ok?" replied Shirley
with a half smile
"Ya" smiled Bo."Oh and Alicia, Bart and the others are at Sussex's gym
awaiting your presence...unless your not up to it.."
"No Im fine, after we review Heather's file we ll be on our way"
"Ok well for starters Heather is gone!"
"What?"
"That hospital doesnt really have the best security, I got in and out, Molly
snuck out, and Heather escaped"
"Ya, so that means Heather can still be out trying for revenge"
"Well according to her file she was drugged with a bunch of sedatives
including 3 types of sleeping pills every few hours, I doubt she just got up & left."
"Exactly she had help, question is who and what do they stand to gain?"
"AND now here's something that's got me stumped...how did "they" get your
script for your project?"
"Good question, a very good one indeed"
*********************************
"Bart this script needs changes! Lots of them!"
"Alicia if we change it anymore Mr. Howie could fail us because it wouldnt
be considered Shakespear's work anymore it would be a rip off of his work!"
"Oh boo hoo! Bart Howie likes originality he said so himself, lets get on
with it ...oh look Shirley and Bo have finally arrived! One hour late"
"Sorry Alicia we.."
"Ya ya whatever here are your lines"
"Start filming Parker"
"Nice to see you too jeez"
"Don't take it personally Bo she's very professional"
"QUIET ON THE SET"
"Oh Chuck (Cicero) we need to devise a plan to be rid of HER"
"Yes, but here come Britney, come think of a way to explain we must be rid
of Caesar's touch of evil!"
-Cut to Caesar
*What this isnt what I wrote, Britney and Candice were suppose to
talk..Shirley doesnt come in for another scene or so, someone changed my
script...Alicia! She s never satisfied*
"Oh Rome how I love you with all my heart and soul, I will soon be crowned
Queen and spread my evil treaturous words of wisdom and destroy your
beauty.."
*Alicia has gone too far*
*I may not know anything about Shakespear but Im sure this isnt how the
story is suppose to go..*
"CUT!"
"I agree!"
"Huh? You agree but they are YOUR changes!"
"Uh Bart why are the next few pages blank?"
"What is the last line you ve got Shirley?"
"Uhm, here, my demise will soon come and Rome will be free from harm,
Shir..."
Shirley was silent when she looked up she noticed the same familiar shadow,
she fled the scene to follow it.
"Shirley wha?"
"Alicia I didnt write any of those lines that were said!"
"Neither did I! Shirley isnt suppose to say that she's a curse to her
people!"
Bo picked up Shirley's script and read aloud
"..free from harm, Shir...Shirley this means you, I will destroy you, your
blood will be on our hands and you shall be forever in the depths of despair
from now until eternity!"
"I never wrote that, any of it!" exclaimed Bart
"Well who did" sighed Alicia questionnably
Bo suddenly stormed off
"Where is he going?"
"Where else, to find Shirley and NO we arent going after them we re going to
continue filming! Bo and Shirley will take care of it!"
"Shirley???? Shirley where are you??"
Shirley ran after the shadow until she realized she was underneath the
school in the underground tunnels that had been sealed off for years, as she
continued to pursue the shadow she found herself facing a dead end, as she
looked up she heard some sort of beep, a constant beep like a ticking,
looking up she stopped dead in her tracks, it was a bomb right beneath the
gym where they had been.
"Shirley where are you???? SHIRLEY??"
"Im over here"
"Shirley! What are you nuts? Why did you come down here?"
"I ll explain later right now ...we ve got a bomb to disarm, Bo looked up in
horror as he saw the numbers counting backwards leaving them only 30 seconds
from complete and total destruction
"Shirley please say you know what your doing"
"Hey I did the last time we were faced with a bomb"
Silence filled the tunnels until the cutting of a wire was heard, Shirley
looked at the timer and realized that the numbers were only counting down
lower at a faster speed.
"Uh Bo.."
"Ya?"
"RUN!"
Bo took the hint and ran along side Shirley the opposite direction until
they found that the door was locked from the outside
"Great were locked in here! What happened with the
bomb?..Shirley...SHIRLEY??? Shirley???"
"Boom!" replied Shirley with a dry look
"Wha.."
"It was a dud.."
Bo let out a sigh of relief
"The door is still locked"
"Not anymore" smiled Shirley who had strategically picked the lock
"Well Shirl that was a close one"
"Coincidently a little too close!"
"Coincidently?"
"We need to talk with Bart"
****************************************
Molly walked the halls of Sussex with pride, her head held tall and high she
walked gracefully into the gym to find Shirley and Bo running in not even
noticing her presence
"Bart, you said you didnt write that script"
"That's right"
"Did you leave the computer on?"
"Ya I think so...why....oh..waait a minute you mean...you think someone
hacked into my computer and changed the script"
"Exactly"
"Bart do you recall writing in anything about a bomb?"
"What NO! Hello the bomb was my idea, blowing up Caesar right from under him
genius I say!"
"Well I never wrote it in, sorry Alicia"
"Fine whatever you never appreciated true art anyways."
"Of course"
"What?"
"The guilty party who arranged all my prank calls and constant surveillance
also hacked into Bart's computer changed the script to accomodate their
liking, Bart printed up what he thought was his script the next morning
brought it to us at the same time that the bomb was placed, the bomb placed
right under Caesar's chair!"
"Ok so they made the bomb a dud why?"
"It's a lesson, they are trying to teach us not to mess with them"
"You said "Party" you think there is more than one at work here?"
"Precisely, it would be a little far fetched that one person could do all
this right after each other and if my hunch is correct there is something
waiting for us to find back at my place.."
Suddenly an applause was heard
"Very good Holmes!"
"Molly!"
"You said this job would take a lot more than one person to do, well Molly
works as many wouldnt ya say!?"
"As I would like to take credit for this job it was none of my doing"
"Right the guilty one always returns to the scene of the crime" taunted
Alicia
"It wasnt Molly, she was injured by Heather remember she isnt strong enough
physically or mentally to hurt a fly"
"Well she could have hired some people to do her dirty work!"
"I had nothing to do with this, shame it was pretty amusing to watch"
"Alright then why are you here? It's Sunday!"
"I needed some supplies from here for my project, not that it's any of YOUR
business!"
They all rolled their eyes as Shirley deciphered other possibilties to
herself but one thing was for sure she wasnt going to run, she wasnt going
to give into fear, she was going to stand up tall and she was going to win.
