Mémoires meurtrières: The Return Of Mary Bell
Summary: Child murderer Mary Bell turns up to haunt Pleasantville-she doesn't have her sights set on Tommy, but rather any able bodied human... who happens
to be an unsuspecting Goth named Merton Dingle.
Disclaimer: OK FOLKS! Almost a year later, I feel I must continue this here fic and break my habit of never finishing anything!
I don't know if you remember, but I had told you to pretend Mary Bell was dead... well... now Im changing my mind. The form Mary Bell is returning in (as her younger self) is an astral projection, not a ghost, but not a solid being... so yes. I cant guarantee this will... even be all that great. Im a little rusty.

[Scene: Back ally]
{Todd and Lori are still looking down at the body, when a police car passes. Mary vanishes as the sirens turn on, and pull up behind the jeep that is blocking the narrow road.}
Police officer: Excuse me?
{Lori and Todd turn abruptly. Lori stuffs the note in her coat pocket, and smiles nervously.}
Police officer: You two know what happened here? I got a report from someone across the street who swore they saw a body back here. *glances over the two's shoulders* Ah. There we are.
{The police officer pushes the two aside, and kneels beside Chuck's motionless body.}
Lori: No, officer. We were taking a drive when we...
Police officer: *Interrupting* No need to explain. You two are going to have to come with me for questioning.
Todd: What?
Lori: Don't bother, Todd. Just C'mon.
Todd: But....
Lori: TODD!
Todd: *sighs* Ok, ok. Fine.
{The police officer gets to his feet, and opens the door to the back of his car.}
Todd: What? No cuffs?
Police officer: You want cuffs?
Todd: *ponders* Uhm... no.
Police officer: You two promise not to pull anything, and I wont cuff you.
Lori: Yeah, yeah. *sighs and pulls Todd into the back of the car*
{Scene: Pleasantville Police station: Night.}
Lori: *on the phone* Yeah, I found Chuck alright. So, can you come down here and pick us up?
Merton: Uh, sure...
Lori: Merton, everything's fine. They just asked a few questions. I guess they were satisfied with what they got.
Merton: What did you tell them?
Lori: That we were just driving, catching up... When were turned down the ally. That we didn't know what had happened.
Merton: Oh.
Lori: Yeah, so I'll see you in a bit.
Merton: Right.
{Lori hangs up the phone, and goes to join her brother who is sitting on a small wooden bench beside the counter}
Todd: What a night, eh?
Lori: Hm. I've seen worse.
Todd: Really?
Lori: I'll tell you later.
Todd: Ok then.
{Scene: Merton's lair}
{Merton sits down at his desk, looking through one of his many books. He lands on a page, and smiles brightly. He grabs for a feathered pen from a glass container, and a piece of paper. He writes something down, and gets to his feet. He folds the paper, and stuffs it into his pocket before heading out to the hearse. He gets into the vehicle, and drives on past a red light. A car is seen coming in the opposite direction, toward him, on the same side of the road. He swerves to miss the car, instead slamming into a near by phone pole. In the hearse, Merton slumps forward, his eyes briefly glowing pink, then fading to a dull lifeless black. A child's laughter filters through the air.}
{Scene: Pleasantville Police station}
{Todd and Lori are propped against each other. Todd's head bobs upwards, and he opens his eyes. He jumps slightly at the sudden rush of light hurting his eyes. Lori stirs from the sudden movement, and sits up. The two stare at each other for a moment, before they both glance at the clock.}
Todd: Wasn't Merton supposed to pick us up like 2 hours ago?
Lori: Yeah. *glances around*
{The police office was still lit, but dully. The secretary was still seated at the desk, going through a few papers}
Lori: *to the clerk* Excuse me, ma'am... Did a young man happen to come in here earlier?
Secretary: Lots of young men are hulled in here everyday, miss. Do you have a discription?
Lori: He's about this tall *holds her hand above her head* He's,,, pasty, and has got black spiked hair.
Would have been wearing all black.
Secretary: Arrested today?
Lori: No... he was supposed to come pick us up.
Secretary: Oh, Im sorry. I'm afraid I can't help you with that.
Lori: Then, can I use your phone to call for a cab?
Secretary: There's a pay phone by the entrance.
Lori: Thanks.
{The secretary nods, and looks back down at her papers. Lori grabs Todd, who is dozing again, and drags him toward the door.}
Lori: You got a quarter?
Todd: No.
Lori: A dime?
Todd: *searches pocket* No.
Lori: A nickel?!
Todd: *digs deeper into his pocket.* No... *pauses, feeling something flat and round in his grasp* Yes. *pulls the object free of the denim* Oh, no wait. That's a quarter.
Lori: *snatches the coin from his hand, and puts it into the machine* Thanks.
Todd: ... No problem.
Lori: *starts to dial a number, then cringes* Oh, crap.
Todd: What?
Lori: I dialed Tommy's number.
Todd: Oh...
Lori: Maybe his parents will... *pauses* Yes? Oh, hello. Is Tommy there?*listens* ok.
Tommy: *on the other end* Hello?
Lori: Hey! Uhm, can you come pick my brother and I up at the police station?
Tommy: Uh, what happened?
Lori: We were caught at the scene of Chuck's murder.
Tommy: Oh. *pauses* Oh my god.
Lori: What?
Tommy: Holy shit.
Lori: What?!
Tommy: Hold on. *sets the phone down*
Lori: Ugh. *sighs*
Tommy: Uh, Lori?
Lori: What? What is it?
Tommy: Merton's in coma...
Lori: What?!
Tommy: He wrecked his hearse near his house. I guess he lost control of it, or something. They don't know anything yet. Oh god, I hope he's ok...
Lori: Tommy... can you please come get us? We'll go to the hospital together.
Tommy: *shaky voice* Ok... be there in a bit.

A/N: Soooo what'd you think? I think it may be a bit rushed... like the last few chapters... -shrugs- Feedback, people!
