"I just came to get my purse because I left it in my desk last night. What's going on," asked Lisa.

"I'll be asking the questions around here!" exclaimed Joe.

"Shut up, Joe." said Dave.

"Wait, don't close that-" the door slammed shut, "Never mind," said Joe.

"You guys, what's going on? Why won't the door open? And-Oh my God, who killed Matthew?"

"That's what we're trying to figure out," said Dave. After everyone explained what happened, Lisa said, "Those bastards!"

"Dude, alright, "Joe started concocting, "What I've noticed in the Scream trilogy is that when there's a killer and someone looks one way, the killer runs past them behind them. So, when I count to 3, we all look behind us. Ready, 1...2...3!" Everyone looked behind them. But when they did, Dave looked behind again and saw someone in a white ghost mask run behind them. Everyone felt the wind the killer made.

"Nice plan, Joe, "Dave said.

"Man! I was sure that was gonna work. Wait, okay, I have another one. Whenever someone in Scream was going to go check something, they always made the other person stay in a certain spot to be "safe." But when they came back, the person that was supposedly "safe" was brutally murdered. Now, if we used someone to stay somewhere "safe", we could catch the killer before he actually does anything, "Joe said. "But who are we going to use? "Joe looked around for bait. He eyed Lisa for a while. "Lisa, I think we should use you."

"Why me!?"

"Cause you're a helpless, defenseless girl. That's a perfect target for a blood thirsty killer. Besides, if he does get you, we'll know it's not you, "Joe said.

"Um, excuse me, I'm a girl, "Beth said.

"Yeah, but that's different." Joe said.

"And why is that?"

"Cause you're like a bat out of hell or something. I wouldn't be surprised if you ended up killing the killer."

"Then why don't you just let me be the bait?" Beth asked.

"Dude, the killer would be too scared to go near you."

Lisa reluctantly stood by the desk. Dubiously, Joe said "Okay, Lisa. You stay here-where it is safe. Me and the other guys are going to go look for help."

Joe and the others ran behind the booth. Lisa stood there and waited, and waited...and waited. Nothing seemed to happen. As Joe looked over, he was quite confused.

"Man, why isn't anything happening?"

"Here let me see," Dave said.

"Yeah, me too," Jimmy said. While the guys were looking over at Lisa, Lisa was quite bored standing there. Lisa waved up her arms in frustration.

"All right, Joe. Nothing's happening. Let's find a real way to get out of here. Come on Beth-Oh my God! They killed Beth!" screamed Dave. While the guys looked over at Beth, they all saw someone in a ghost mask run from the booth.

"Dude! He gets me every time!!! I can't believe he actually got to Beth!" cried Joe in frustration. "Now what are we gonna do?"

"That bastard," Jimmy said.

"At least that song 'School's out for Summer' isn't playing or else I would really start to wonder about this Scream thing."

"You're a dork," said Dave.

"How are we going to get out of here," asked Jimmy.

"Maybe if we scream out the window or something, someone will come up and get us," said Joe.

"Yeah, and if a frog had wings, he wouldn't bump his ass every time he hopped," said Dave.

"Dude, there's no need to be sarcastic," said Joe.

"Well, since there's no other way to get out of here, what other movie analogies do you have for us, Joe?" asked Dave. "Cause I'm sure Scream isn't the only horror you've seen. What about that really bad movie Jennifer Love-um, oh, what was it? Jennifer Love Big T-", before Dave finished his sentence, Lisa cut him off.

"I think he means Jennifer Love Hewitt. What was the plot in that one?"

"Well, they threw this one dude in the water cause they thought he was dead, but then the following summer he came back and tried to kill all of her friends. But that movie was so unrealistic." Joe said. "Then there's Halloween. Man, that was a sweet movie! Michael Myers was this super human dude who killed everybody, but I highly doubt that this is the situation. I'm still stuck to the Scream motive."

"Why Scream?" asked Dave.

"Well, for one thing, the killer dude has been running around in a scream mask. That should tip you off." Joe said.

"Joe, do you think you could refrain from your 'dudes?'" asked Dave.

"Okay, then what's the other thing?" asked Lisa. There was a long silence.

"I don't know, that's really all I have right now. But there was this set of rules in the movie that we had to abide by in order to survive. Rule number 1:You can never have sex-yeah right. Okay, rule number 2:You can never drink and do drugs. I know that everyone's drank before, but has anyone ever done drugs before? Show of hands? Anyone?" Joe asked.

"Now, this rule, is it drink "and" do drugs, or drink "or" do drugs?" Lisa asked.

"It's drink and do drugs. Why?" Joe asked.

"I was just wondering if we had to do both those things to get on the list or something. Never mind. "Lisa said. Everyone kind of just stared at her.

"Um, okay. Rule number 3:Never say I'll be right back, cause you won't be back." All of a sudden, there was a loud crash in the break room.

"What the hell was that?" asked Jimmy.

"I don't know, I'll be right back," Joe said as he ran into the break room.

"If Jimmy and I aren't back in 5 minutes, wait longer. Come on, Mr. James." said Joe.

"Okay, well, now what," asked Dave.

"I don't know. Do you think it was such a good idea that Joe said 'I'll be right back?'" asked Lisa.

"I don't know. I haven't really been paying attention to what Joe said. It's just that everything is a blur now. Us breaking up, Bill dying, and then all of sudden, we have this little charade in the office, you know?" Dave said.

"Yeah, it's been pretty sad lonely with me too." There was an uncomfortable silence. "Dave?" asked Lisa.

"What?"

"I- well- I mean that, um." Lisa kept stumbling with her words.

"Lisa, it's okay."  as Dave said that, he put his arms around Lisa, and hugged her. Then Lisa started crying.

"We're gonna get through this, Lisa. You're a strong woman. And I'm sure Joe will catch 'that dude' I know for a fact that we'll get through this." Dave hugged Lisa. After they were done hugging and talking and all that mushy crap, they realized they had been waiting for well over 15 minutes.

"I think we should go check on Joe and Mr. James," said Lisa.

"Yeah, you're right."

"You do realized they're probably dead."

"Yeah…oh well, come on. Brace yourself. "said Dave. When Dave and Lisa ran into the break room, they were shocked to what they found.
