Final Cut
Chapter 5
"And...ACTION!"
"Come Britney it's time! We ll attack her off guard, while she s sleeping
and unsuspecting then as she turns around she ll see us all as we plunge our
knives deep into her vulnerable body and so we shall liberate Rome!"
-Britney and conspirators come into Caesar's bedroom, Candice first with her
knife held high
"Your hour has arrived, Rome will soon be free!"
Suddenly Bo is distressed to see the knives held above Shirley's limb body
just as they had said, once on stage Bo grabbed each knife and threw them
out of reach
"BO! What are you doing!!???"
"CUT!!"
"Bo.."
"Bart trust me on this one those knives are real"
"Give me a break!" Alicia grabbed one of the knives and pretended to die in
front of them, some laughed while others, particuliarly Bo and Shirley
watched with uncertanty
"Bo it was part of the project I was suppose to get stabbed to death"
"You don't understand Shirley he said they were real, he recited the full
verse you were rehearsing but claimed the knives were real...I didnt want to
take a chance..."
****************************
*a few minutes before*
Shirley's cell phone rang
"Hello?"
"She shall die, it is her hour of death, her life shall end by the hands of
her friends!"
"Listen you sick psychotic freak!"
"No you listen your friend is going to die, those knives are real, they
could cut through almost anything especially flesh, believe me or not either
way her hour is near and you shall lose her forever , your call, wouldnt you
rather be safe than sorry?"
***************************
"I didnt want to take that chance...sorry for wrecking your scene, it looked
real"
"Well mabye we should call it a day for today"
"No way!"
"Alicia, Bart is right, its still pretty early how bout you all come by my
house later today around 3pm we can continue there.
Everyone nodded in agreement while Bo's uneasy feeling refused to shake.
*******************************
"Things are going very well!"
"I knew this would work, see Carrie, Annie, never question him he knows just
what he's doing!"
"Quite so Sara, listen girls I need to check on something"
As he climbed the stairs he found he sleeping soundly in her bed, peacefully
and angelically
*She will pay for it all, I promise you her deeds will not escape my wrath,
nor will any of them go unpunished, place your trust in me revenge is our
friend*
Smiling quite pleased with himself he placed a kiss on her forehead as she
slept
***************************
"So any new leads Shirley?"
"No more than we had, we know a party is doing it all to teach us something,
and I get the feeling that it's beyond Molly and Heather, however I find it
highly coincidential that Heather is missing the same time that all these
incidents started, but like you said she is highly under the influence of
strong sedatives she should be out for hours"
"So your saying that the guilty party is doing all this, going through all
this trouble, the prank calls, threats, bomb, hacking, and making your
project come to life, its all to make you guys learn some lesson?
"That's the way it seems"
As they entered Shirley's room they found dozens of pictures of Shirley and
the group since day one all over the wall.
"This is the surprise you were talking of earlier I take it"
"Whoever is behind this, all this is trying to show us that they are
watching us all!.."
"Actually Shirley mainly you, their target is you, look another damn note!"
"Your destruction is near, your evil shall not spread, your evil you shall
dread, no more games no more fun, Shirley Holmes your demise has only begun"
Shirley looked up at Bo, anger had flooded his system, fear thwarted itself
through his eyes, and sympathy exploded from him.
"Shirley this is nuts, this isnt about us anymore, this psycho is targeting
you, and we need to keep you away from this guy otherwise.."
"Interesting how you continue to refer to him as a guy, we still don't know
who is behind this"
"Well I just guess it seems fitting to dub him a guy"
Shirley sat down trying to think of any new leads until Bart, Alicia and the
crew appeared
"Ready? We still need to film the rest of Act 3!"
"Ya...ready"
Bo looked at Shirley with a look of concern but she shook it off, hoping
that the more they filmed the more clues would surface, they were getting
closer she knew it.
**************************************
"Soon she will pay for her doings...I promise soon...the both of them will
be destroyed.."
***************************************
Shirley looked at each picture hung on the walls in her room, the fact that
someone possessed the abilities to both break into her home not detected and
all the threats made, each under one minute ensuring they couldnt be
tracked, while each and every clue was carefully made without a single
fingerprint, everything had gone down virtually flawless. Shirley continued
to wonder who took part in this act until her thoughts were interrupted by
Bo who had tapped her shoulder.
"Shirley it's time to film"
"Uhm right I almost forgot"
"Shirley are you ok? You seem really I dunno distracted"
"No Im ok, really I was just reviewing my lines"
"Liar, you die in this scene you only have a few "ouches" and "ahhh" and
that one famous line and you die...uh I mean your character dies ..."
"Well acting isn't my strong suit so practice makes perfect!"
"Ok well ...are you sure your.."
"Im fine Bo, thanks for asking though"
As Shirley found her way to her place she hadn't noticed or heard what Bo
had said
"You better be ok Shirley, I really hope you are.."
"Is everyone ready?" questioned Alicia in a somewhat nervous tone
"Yes we are all in our places except you Alicia, calm down oready"
"I cant this is the climax of the entire picture we have to make this look
as real as possible, ready Stink? You're the second to do the stabbing?"
"Ya ya I ve got it covered raise, stab, raise, stab I got it I got it!"
"No no no! It's pause, raise, pause, lower pause and finally stab!"
"Why are you so nervous jeez?"
"I want this to be perfect, now places everyone...oh and Bo no more stunts
like the last one"
Bo just rolled his eyes as the camera began to role...
"Finally her final hour is near! This minute marks Rome's freedom from the
tirrant-Julia Caesar!"
"Your life shall end by the hands of your wrong-doers! Behold your....oops"
"Stink!!!! you idiot!"
"Stop rolling! CUT!!!!"
"Sorry guys"
"Stink you dropped the knife!"
As Shirley got up from her lying position she felt something poke her wrist
"Ow!"
"No no Shirley your all wrong on the timing! Shirley? Hello????" exclaimed Alicia in an angry, frustrated tone.
"Shirley?" asked Bo with a confused expression
"Stink you idiot! You knocked over the ketchup too?"
"It's not ketchup Alicia" replied Shirley
Bo's eyes widened as he realized that it was nt ketchup at all, it was real
blood...Shirley's blood!
Alicia screamed as she stepped back in horror and in hysterics
"Shirley...wh..a...some call 911!"
"Guys guys!"
"Stink you killed Shirley!!!"
"HEY!" screamed Shirley
Everyone was silent
"Im fine, it's just a cut, Stink dropped the knife he didn't get the chance
to go on with the scene
"Someone changed the knives!" stated Bo
"Exactly"
"well..well mabye you need stiches Shirley"
"No really I'm fine, I ll be right back"
"I ll help" volunteered Bo
"What if you go and collapse and die or sumthin!"
Shirley and Bo looked at each other and left to put a bandage on Shirley's
cut.
************************************
"So even after everything we ve done he still doesn't think it's enough??"
"Apparently not, and that just bugs me, I mean it feels like we're being
used !"
"We are not we wouldnt let that happen! After all we agreed to all the
conditions for our reason we all swore we d agree to anything he came up
with-even it means total destruction!"
"Will you guys wake up and smell the flowers! He's using us and our talents
to get to her-them! I only signed on for the torture NOT for their
destruction! We had our fun! We played criminals for a while but you gotta
know when to call it quits! It's over!!!"
"Annie will you please just.."
"No...Carrie let her speak, she has a point, his next plan is just going way
too far even against them! We havent known them that long but we were taken
in by his charms wouldn't ya say? I say we beat him at his own game, I vote
we come clean.."
"Is that what you girls want? Annie? Carrie? ...Sara?, I thought you of all
would understand Sara you told me you loved me and everyone I loved"
"Well mabye I was wrong about you, you ve been using us all along havent
you?"
"No not at all, please listen, you will all be rewarded I promise you!"
*****************************
"It looks kinda painful Shirl, you sure your ok?"
*She looks pale what if..she's not ok, mabye we should get her to the
hospital..*
"No im fine really, the cut wasn't that deep"
"But Shirley what if you do need stitches?"
"Please you sound like Alicia and Bart put together" joked Shirley "look if
anything else happens then I ll consider it."
"Listen to me Shirley, your in way over your head, I have a bad feeling about all of this, the project, your role ALL of it, I'm not going to stand by and watch the one person I care about more than anything else in the entire world get hurt, no way!
Shirley was shocked, so was Bo.
"Shirley, at your place, the day I came back, I was trying to tell you something and I never got the chance.."
Shirley watched him as he tried to explain.
Suddenly the phone rang, reluctantly Shirley picked up
"Hello?"
"I know whose causing all this, but I m not at liberty to say, just know
that your friends will stab you in the back, it will happen, if you chose to
ignore this, I am not responsible of the outcome, this is a warning"
"Who are you???"
"Dare I even ask who that was?"
"By what they said I judge that there was a plan that went wrong, and one of
the members of the party is ratting out the others, trying to help out"
"How are you so sure they were trying to help and that it's not some trick"
"I assume that if it were a trick they would have quoted from the script,
they didnt....hmm"
"What?"
"Last night the shadow seemed so familiar to me, and today the whole bomb
incident I saw the same shadow"
"Well mabye the year book could help? Assuming the shadow goes to Sussex"
"Hmm that may help"
'Man, Bo you are such an idiot why can't you just tell her!?'
' I wonder what he was going to say...what if..no ..can't be..'
*************************************
Suddenly in the other room the silence was broken by Alicia putting some
music on.
After a while they took notice to the clock,
"Well it's getting late we should all probably be getting home" suggested
Bart
As the others found Shirley and Bo they bid their goodbyes and left. Bo sat
down next to Shirley
"You need a lookout?"
"Couldnt hurt" replied Shirley
************************************
"We ve done our part, we had nothing to do with this, take care.."
*************************************
As Shirley searched through the yearbook her eye caught on something that
she d never noticed before.
"Hey Shirley how long has this window been open?"
"Huh? Window? I never opened the window"
"Well who did?"
Shirley's face lit up, hoping that there would be some lead around the
corner.
*************************************
Later that night Alicia woke up feeling that she was to do something
important, for some reason she found herself picking up a knife and walked
out the door knowing exactly where to go..
*************************************
Alicia, Bart, Stink and Parker found themselves in Shirley's room...
"Her destruction will liberate us all"
"Her destruction will be the beginning of peace"
"Her destruction will be her end"
"Her destruction has finally come"
"You ve breathed your final breath"
Suddenly Stink's hand lowered it was followed by Alicia's, Bart's and
finally Parker's, while Robert Holmes starred in totally shock and
horror...it couldnt be, Shirley was being brutally murdered????!
