"Uh, you wanted to talk to me?" Jimmy asked as he stepped into Mr. Benjamin's room.
"Ah, yes. Mr. Neutron. Please have a seat," he told Jimmy. He took off his reading glasses and put down his pile of papers.
"We're sorry again about the door thing," Jimmy sheepishly told him.
"No problem. I'm sure that wasn't an easy thing for you to see."
"So what exactly did you want to see me about?"
"Well, I wanted to talk to you about a possible change in the movie," Mr. Benjamin said while taking a sip from his coffee.
"Wait, shouldn't the others be here as well?" Jimmy asked, a little confused.
Mr. Benjamin laughed. "Mr. Neutron, do you remember all the legal mess you went through after last Christmas' murders?" Jimmy just nodded his head. "Well, I'm not sure if you're aware of it, but you hold the rights to the story. Technically, you and you alone own what happened. Therefore, I have to talk to you about the changes I have in my mind."
Jimmy was a little surprises, he hadn't known this. "Um, what are the changes?"
Mr. Benjamin leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. "I thought it would be good for the story if we made the murderer be hired by this Calamitous fellow."
Jimmy was shocked. "What?"
"Well, it would be an interesting plot twist. Besides, it would leave it open for a sequel. This movie is surely going to be the biggest of the year, people will be expecting a sequel."
Jimmy just shook his head in disbelief. "Why in the world would you want to make a sequel to a horror film? Everyone knows sequels suck," Jimmy told him.
Mr. Benjamin laughed. "Perhaps you've forgotten Spiderman 2? The Empire Strikes Back?"
Jimmy laughed. "What about The Exorcist 2? And all those Nightmare on Elm Street films?"
Mr. Benjamin nodded his head. "A good point. But what you're forgetting is that those were fake. Fiction. This is real. It was a huge story on the news. People were talking about it all over the world. Movies about it would be hugely successful."
"Look," Jimmy told him. "If you want to do a sequel so bad, why not just do the murders that happened two years ago?"
"A prequel. I don't think so. Besides, it's not as interesting as the film we're making now. And cloning? I don't want to bring that up.
All I want to do is change the script slightly. Everything stays the same except the ending."
Jimmy stood up. "Look. I feel guilty enough about selling out my friends' deaths for money. But I can't change that. But if we are going to do this, we're sticking to what really happened. My friends and I want this to be a chance for closure and for the world to learn what really happened. So it stays the same."
"Think about the money, James," Mr. Benjamin told him.
"No amount of money in the world would make me change my mind. You do this my way or we don't do the movie. As long as I'm alive, you will make the movie as I say," Jimmy angrily said before walking out. "Good day, sir."
