Alright this is a pretty long chapter but it's the whole point of the story enjoy and review to tell me your thoughts.
Chapter 4: Act 1, Scenes 1-20
A week had passed and everyone waited to start shooting. Everything was set for the first 20 scenes. Even cast members that weren't in those scenes that day came along to watch. Joey had on boxers and Mai had on a strapless tube top and shorts. Director Bob Javier sat down in his director's chair, the set was ready, Joey and Mai were in place, and the cameras were rolling. They just waited for the signal. "ACTION!"
Manchester Residence- (DOUGLASS and STACIE MANCHESTER are asleep. The phone rings and STACIE stirs. After three rings she picks up the phone. DOUGLASS wakes up.)
MAI- Hello? (Listens to other end) Yes. Just a moment. (Turns to Douglass) It's Mr. Rashad.
JOEY- Douglass Manchester. (Listens to other end) Good morning to you as well. How's the Missus? (Listening) Wonderful. So what order of business has made you call us this morning? (Listens) No problem. What time? (Listens) That will be fine. Goodbye.
(DOUGLASS hangs up the phone and realizes that STACIE has fallen back to sleep. He slips out of bed and into the bathroom. He showers, washes his face, brushes his teeth, combs his hair and exits the bathroom with a towel around his waist. STACIE has waken back up.)
MAI- Meeting with the Rashad's?
JOEY- Yeah.
(Walks over to bureau and pulls out underwear and undershirt, then to his closet.)
MAI- You know it gets so lonely here when you're away. I wish I had someone to keep me company.
JOEY- (From inside the closet) I'm sorry. I wish I could stay with you.
MAI- It's all right. (Thinking) Hey Doug.
JOEY- (In dress pants and an unbuttoned dress shirt.) What's up?
(Kneels down beside the bed. STACIE helps him finish dressing from bed)
MAI- What do you think about us having kids?
JOEY- I don't know. Why? Do you want to have kids?
MAI- Maybe. I don't know either. Do you think I'd be a good mom?
JOEY- I think you'd be a great mom.
MAI- And I think you'd be the best dad, and we'd raise perfect kids.
JOEY- A dozen perfect little Dougs and Stacies.
MAI- A dozen? I was thinking maybe two.
JOEY- Two?
MAI- Yeah. Two's a nice number. So what do you think?
JOEY- (Looking around, smiling) With all this room it would be a crime not to. (Kisses her) I got to go. I'll see you later this afternoon
(He grabs his jacket and leaves the room. He heads downstairs, goes outside, and steps into a limousine waiting for him.)
JOEY- Pick up Pam first, then head down to the office.
(Limo takes off down the street and enters an estate. PAM is waiting by the door. The driver steps out and around the car and opens the door for her. Driver walks back around and gets back in his seat. Limo pulls out of the driveway.)
At this time, it would be nice to know what everyone looks like. The most noticeable change has been done to Serenity. Now, she normally has red hair right? Well now she's blond! That's right! They dyed her hair blond! And she's dressed like a million dollar slut. She's wearing a silk button up shirt with a low, low, even lower neckline and a skirt so high, if it were a centimeter higher it would be illegal. She's also wearing Gucci everything, and pumps. Miss Kiore wants it known that she is having the time of her life playing this role…who wouldn't. Everyone else in the office scene is wearing business suits. Mai will be debuting in her most modest outfit yet. A clingy, flesh colored shirt and blue jeans! Miss Lefonn believes that it is a pleasant change. Our final change is for Yami. The star shaped hair will NOT be returning! Mr. Oharu has made it clear to the director that he wants to leave his past image. That should be it for now.
SERENITY- Well look at you, baby bro, looking sharp. You like my suit?
JOEY- Don't you think that it's a bit revealing?
SERENITY- No. Anyway, what's been going on?
JOEY- Stacie and Me decided that we want to have kids.
SERENITY- That's great! I'm so happy for you two.
JOEY- Thanks! Anything new in your life Pam?
SERENITY- Me? –Uh, no. Nothing really.
(Limo heads towards the office)
Eli's Office- (The space is dark and crowded with paperwork. ELI sits at his desk surrounded by papers and pictures. He's looking through stacks of information when he realizes that there are two messages on his answering machine. He takes a break from the papers and presses a button on the machine.)
MACHINE- Two new messages. First message (A woman's voice) Hey Eli it's me Susan. Um, I don't know how to say this but –um- it's over. Sorry.
(ELI looks dumbfounded at the machine, and puts his face in his hands, groaning)
MACHINE- Second message (A man's voice) Eli, you're off the case. GO HOME!
(Eli looks at the machine again, drops his hand, and pathetically bangs his head against the desk three times, groaning)
MACHINE- There are no more messages. Goodbye.
?- (Somewhere, two unidentified, gloved hands are packing masterfully sculpted arrows made of ice into a cooler.)
Douglass Manchester's Office- (DOUG and PAM are seated with Mr. and Mrs. Rashad. They seem to have come to an agreement. Everyone stands up and shakes hands. Everyone walks to the door.)
MARIK- Well I think we are all about to become much wealthier people. I'll start getting the paperwork set up. It's been a pleasure doing business with the two of you.
SERENITY- (flirtatiously) The feeling is mutual. I know that I, personally, can't wait to get down to business.
MARIK- (grinning) Then I'll try to make some time real soon.
SERENITY- I'd like that.
(Mr. Rashad J.T remembers his wife's presence standing next to him and stops grinning. Mrs. Rashad ANGEL looks at him angrily with folded arms. DOUG looks at PAM in disgust.)
MARIK- Well, we'd better be heading off. (directed towards Mrs. Rashad) Come my Angel.
ISHIZU- It's not going to work. (walks off towards the elevator. Mr. Rashad makes an apologetic gesture and chases after her.)
SERENITY- (noticing Doug's look.) Oh shut up! It got the job done.
JOEY- (sarcastically) Sorry. I just thought that you were a married woman who dressed inappropriately and flirted with married business associates.
SERENITY- Lighten up Dougy. But that reminds me, I have to get back home. Leon will want to know what happened and I have to change. (jogs lightly to 2nd elevator.) Give Stacie my regards okay?
(Douglass walks back into his office to wait for STACIE.)
Outside Office Building- (A dark figure dressed all in black, pulls one sculpted arrow out of a cooler and a bow. PAM walks cheerily out of the building. Seeing her, the figure makes an angry fist, and readies an arrow, prepares to fire, but at the last minute decides not to. Instead the archer angrily sits down to wait for his real target and looks as PAM walks further away.)
Douglass Manchester's Office- (DOUG waits staring expectantly at his intercom. Finally the voice of his secretary is heard.)
SECRETARY- Mr. Manchester, your wife is here.
JOEY- Thank you.
(DOUG gets from behind his desk and enters the hall outside the office. STACIE is smiling at him.)
JOEY- Cindy, we're going out to lunch. I'll be back in about fifteen minutes. Do you need anything?
SECRETARY- No thanks.
(DOUG and STACIE walk outside into the warm sunlight.)
MAI- Isn't it a beautiful day?
JOEY- I know. It's not the kind of day you want to stay inside an office.
MAI- That is why I have freed you. So that you can have these fifteen minutes to enjoy the warmth with me.
JOEY- Really? I thought we were going to go eat.
MAI- Yeah well there's that too.
(Continue to walk in silence for a while. STACIE's face grows with worry.)
JOEY- What's wrong?
MAI- Something's not right. I'm getting a bad feeling.
JOEY- Are you alright?
(STACIE looks around more worried. DOUG begins to look around to when STACIE spots something. Her eyes widen with fear.)
MAI- Doug! Look out!
(STACIE pushes DOUG to the ground just as two arrows are shot at them. The first scratches DOUG's ear as he falls, the second hits STACIE square in the stomach. The few people around them scream in panic and run away. The archer picks up his bow and cooler and runs. DOUG turns around to see STACIE still standing with a arrow shot almost completely through her. STACIE looks at it in disbelief and falls to her knees. DOUG rushes to her aid.)
JOEY- Stacie. You're hurt.
MAI- (painfully) I've noticed. (Looks down at the arrow again) I'm sorry Doug. I guess we can't have kids now, huh.
JOEY- (pathetically) Don't talk like that you'll be fine. I'm going to get you help.
(Tears of sadness and pain fill both their eyes. Blood drips from STACIE's lips. She smiles weakly and crumples to the ground dead, leaving DOUG alone.)
JOEY- (sad, disbelieving) Stacie? No Stacie, please. (crying) Stacie. You can't leave me now.
(DOUG breaks down over the body as some people begin to gather. Arrow begins to melt.)
News Broadcast- Our top story today; Stacie Manchester, wife of Douglas Manchester, the owner of the Manchester luxury liner industry, has been murdered. She was allegedly walking with Mr. Manchester, when she was shot in the stomach with a most unusual weapon. An arrow…made of ice. The weapon melted before police arrived at the scene and there appear to be no suspects in the case. Mr. Manchester is not available for questioning at this time.
Eli's Apartment- (ELI sits in a recliner chair with a beer bottle. His cat curls by his feet as he watches the news report on Stacie's Murder.)
YAMI- That's a damn shame. (continues to look at the report. Curious) I think I'm gonna check out this case. There's just something about it. What do you think?
(cat cries and runs away.)
YAMI- Yeah well that's what you said about the last one. (thinks) Hmm, guess you were right about that one. Maybe I should listen to you this time.
(cat slowly emerges from her hiding space.)
YAMI- But when was the last time I did that?
( the cat cries again and runs away as Eli gets up to grab his coat and leave.)
?- (Somewhere a meat locker is opened. Two gloved hands grab an icicle and break it off. The icicle is examined and placed in a cooler.)
A noticeable change is seen in this next scene. For starters, Odion is playing Eli's chief. Now, unlike Marik and Ishizu Habib, in real life Odion was not actually middle eastern. He's actually a light toned African American. In fact, his name isn't even Odion, it is Oden Smith. This being the case, he is not Middle Eastern in the movie. Also, the lock of hair, which was actually a wig that glued onto his head, is gone and so is the face tattoo. Instead he grew a small beard. That being said, the cast continues.
Police Department- (Scene takes place on a crowded floor of the police department. Phones ring, papers are flying, and the officers look overworked. ELI is seen through the open door of the CHIEF's office.)YAMI- (annoyed) Oh come on chief. I need to get on this case. You owe me that much, you threw me off the Kyoto Murder for no reason.
ODEN- (crosses arms and gives look as if to say 'are you kidding me?') Eli, you're a great detective with a lot of determination but you get too caught up in your cases. You've gotten shot or mortally wounded in everything you've ever done on the force and to be completely honest…. we're tired of covering your medical.
YAMI- But they still got solved!
ODEN- (shakes his head) Look, you just got out of the hospital, take a rest. We'll alert you if we need help… which we shouldn't.
(ELI walks out of the office upset. CHIEF rubs his temples as he goes. ELI heads for the elevator, which closes before he gets in. Impatiently he heads for the stairs. While walking down, he spots Interrogation floor and decides to stop. He searches for one that's in use. After walking in on a few he's not looking for, he spies one with DOUGLASS MANCHESTER inside. Discreetly, ELI enters the invisible booth to watch. There is only one other person inside, but the officer WIRES doesn't acknowledge his presence. On the other side of the window, DOUG looks distraught. The officer inside the room GROUND MAN gives him a paper cup with water.)
JOEY- May I please go now? I've told you everything I know.
RYOU- Of course. Are you sure you wouldn't like an escort?
JOEY- No thank you.
(DOUG drinks the last of the water and crumples the cup. Walking out the door, he throws the crumpled cup into a nearby trashcan. Back in the booth: ELI taps WIRES on the shoulder)
YAMI- Anything interesting come up, Wires?
BAKURA- Well let's see. (stretching) There were two arrows fired. The wife obviously saw the archer, and pushed him to the ground. He was most likely the initial target. Nope nothing really interesting except that it was an arrow… and of course that it was made of ice. (stops and looks at ELI) How's the leg and the uh… (gestures towards groin) pelvis?
YAMI- Better.
BAKURA- That's good to hear. (Pauses) Where do you think we should start?
YAMI- Don't ask me. The man upstairs won't let me on the case.
BAKURA- Good. Get some rest. There are a lot of regular officers who can escort the poor guy around.
YAMI- I thought he said he didn't want an escort.
BAKURA- What he doesn't know won't hurt him.
(Pushes a button on the panel. A beep is heard and Ground man turns towards them.)
BAKURA- Ground man, follow him home.
RYOU- You act as though I have nothing better to do with my time. (leaves)
(DOUG enters his car and leaves the police station. As he drives he remembers Stacie. Flashbacks. Pictures flash of he and Stacie together. Their wedding, their honeymoon, their romance and her asking if he wanted to have kids. Then pictures of her crumpling to the ground. He tried to see where it came from but whoever did it was gone.
At the end of his drive, he pulls into Pam's house and gets out the car. GROUND MAN trails not too far behind him. DOUG approaches the door, wipes sweat from his forehead, and rings the doorbell. A sound is heard above him. His eyes widen when he looks up and sees a dark figure on the roof. DOUG attempts to yell but a large icicle is dropped on him, point first. The dark figure immediately flees before GROUND MAN's car pulls up.)
RYOU- Holy shit!
News Broadcast- In a startling turn of evens, Douglass Manchester was murdered in front of his sister, Pamela Quiq's house late last evening, when a large icicle was dropped on him. The killer supposedly dropped the icicle from the roof of the first floor entrance way. Police still appear to have no suspects in either murder. The funeral will be held in a private location, next week. In other news, how to beat the summer heat.
Eli's Apartment- (ELI sits looking glumly at the television as the broadcast continues. ELI picks up the phone and dials a number. The phone rings four times and the CHIEF's voice is heard on the other end.)
ODEN- What is it Eli?
YAMI- Chief, I have to get on this case, you need me.
(There is a click.)
YAMI- Chief? Chief? Son of a – (ELI slams the phone on the receiver.)
Quiq Residence- (Outside the house are police vehicles and dozens of officers. The entranceway to the house is surrounded in yellow tape. Inside, PAM sits on the couch crying. LEON sits by her side trying to calm her. GROUND MAN sits parallel to them with an earpiece concealed in his right ear.)
RYOU- So, your brother had no enemies that you know of?
SERENITY- (crying, upset) No! He was a good person! He- he didn't deserve this. He didn't deserve this and neither did Stacie.
(Outside, WIRES is seen with a similar earpiece and a cell phone. On the other line is ELI.)
YAMI- Now ask if she had any enemies.
(WIRES turns on his earpiece.)
BAKURA- Ask if there's anyone who'd want to knock her off. Maybe they killed Doug and Stacie to get to her.
(Back inside, GROUND MAN nods, showing that he understood.)
RYOU- Do you have any enemies?
SERENITY- (shocked) What?
RYOU- Mrs. Quiq, I know this is difficult for you but have you considered that they were killed to hurt you? Maybe even to get at your family's fortune?
(Outside)
BAKURA- Good one.
(Over the phone)
YAMI- What did he say?
(Outside)
BAKURA- He's questioning whether someone might want to bump them off for the money.
(A forensics investigator approaches)
FORENSICS INVESTIGATOR- We've found two sets of footprints on the roof.
BAKURA- Thanks.
(Forensics investigator leaves.)
(Over the phone)
YAMI- What's happening?
(Outside)
BAKURA- (WIRES speaks into the phone and earpiece at the same time.) They found footprints. Two sets.
(Inside)
RYOU- Ma'am. It would seem two pairs of footprints have been found on your roof.
SETO- One of them might be mine. I was on the roof yesterday.
RYOU- (suspiciously) Doing what exactly?
SETO- Cleaning the gutters.
RYOU- (more suspicious) In the summer?
SETO- Dead squirrels.
SERENITY- That's right. He was on the roof when I came back home from work yesterday.
RYOU- (into earpiece) Got that?
(WIRES' voice is heard over the mic.)
BAKURA- Got it. Get us out of here.
RYOU- On it. (turns his attention to PAM.) Mrs. Quiq, I think it would be in your best interest to go somewhere else for a while. If you have any ideas of who may be doing this, please contact me.
(GROUND MAN gets up to leave. Before exiting, he turns his focus back to LEON.)
RYOU- Sir, would you mind staying here for questioning?
(LEON shakes his head and GROUND MAN leaves. Once outside, GROUND MAN takes the phone from WIRES. )
RYOU- What's this about?
(Over the phone)
YAMI- Nothing really. I just have a feeling about that guy. I think we should start with him.
?- (Somewhere, plastic is being laid out on a hard cement floor. After thoroughly smoothing out all the wrinkles, the dark figure moves its way around the room looking for something. It stops at an unusually large container of liquid nitrogen that has been carefully set aside. Beside it is an assortment of chisels, hammers, and a blowtorch.)
Ground man and Wires' home- (Three days later, GROUND MAN, WIRES, and ELI sit around a small table eating pizza. The television is on in the other room.)
YAMI- So they still haven't found any clues?
BAKURA- Nope. Nothing except those footprints, which didn't help us with a damn thing. They were less footprints than a small bunch of smudges.
RYOU- Whoever did it was standing on their toes the whole time. We did get a small pattern, though.
BAKURA- Not enough to find out what kind of shoe it was. Just enough to tell that they may have been boots or sneakers.
YAMI- Well that helps. Where's Pam staying?
RYOU- A friend's house. Ordered not to leave without police escort.
YAMI- For how long?
RYOU- Not sure. Maybe until the end of next week.
YAMI- That doesn't seem very long. It's only been three days.
BAKURA- Yeah well, she has a business to run, we don't want to spread panic, a lot of people are sure we'll catch this guy pretty soon, and even more figure that as quick as this guy moves, he should try to strike long before then.
RYOU- It's just a matter of seeing what he'll do.
(There is a brief silence that is broken by the ring of the telephone in the kitchen. GROUND MAN leaves the room to answer it. From the table, ELI and WIRES sit quietly listening to the conversation.)
RYOU- Hello? (listens) Oh Chief. What's up? (listens, there is a long pause) You're kidding! When? (listens) So what do you want us to do? (listens) All right. Thanks Chief.
(GROUND MAN returns to the table and sits down.)
BAKURA- What did the Chief want?
RYOU- Pam Quiq's friend just called. Someone grabbed Pam from her room.
YAMI- (shocked) You've got to be kidding. I thought police were watching the house.
RYOU- They were.
BAKURA- Damn.
YAMI- So what does he want you to do?
RYOU- Nothing yet, just keeping us posted in case he needs us. Oh, but he did want me to tell you that you're still not on the case.
YAMI- (confused) How did he know I was here?
(GROUND MAN shrugs)
?- (PAM sits bound and gagged on the floor. Tears and fright are evident in her eyes. A dark figure enters the room and closes a heavy metal door. The figure walks towards PAM and removes the gag. PAM immediately begins screaming and pleading for help, but the dark figure seems not to care and sits down. In it's hands are pictures, but what is on the pictures is not yet seen. After a while the screaming dies down and PAM is reduced to crying.)
SERENITY- (crying) What do you want from me? Why are you doing this?
(The dark figure says nothing but begins tossing the pictures at her feet. PAM looks at the pictures with growing concern.)
SERENITY- Who are you?
(The figure still says nothing, but begins to remove the sunglasses and mask. PAM'S eyes grow even larger in recognition and fear.)
SERENITY- (whispering) You? (crying harder) Oh God, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I really didn't.
(The dark figure folds it's arms across it's chest.)
SERENITY- (pleading) You have to believe me. I always loved you, you know that. Please, we could make it work again.
(The dark figure stands up, pulling on his mask, as he shakes his head 'no'. PAM sees something on her left and looks frightened again.)
SERENITY- Oh God, no. Please, please don't do this.
(The dark figure bends down on one knee and, with a gloved hand, wipes the tears from her eyes. With the other hand, he pulls up the mask slightly, revealing his lips. He kisses her quickly and then whispers something in her ear. PAM'S face is a mixture between shock, fear, and anger.)
SERENITY- (screaming) How could you do this to me? I hate you. You won't get away with this.
(The dark figure picks PAM off the ground and carries her over to an open metal container that looks like a cryogenic chamber. The container is labeled 'Caution: Liquid Nitrogen. Do not expose to bare skin.' As PAM continues to scream insults at him, he forces her down into the tank and closes the lid. Her screams can still be heard from outside the tank but stop very shortly afterwards. The figure spreads out his fingers in the heavy gloves and walks back to the tank. He pulls the lid off the tank again and reaches inside quickly, feeling around. After a moment, he pulls PAM out. She has frozen solid. Once she is back on the plastic covered floor, the figure appears to stare at her. The scene fades quickly, and then, as though suddenly enraged, the figure grabs a sledgehammer, runs up to the frozen PAM and smashes her.)
Now just one more interruption before the end of scenes 1-20. In the next scene is a janitor. This janitor will be played by Professor Hawkins. He will, of course, be wearing a janitorial type outfit and will sound a lot older and weary than before. That should be it.
Police Department- (A JANITOR makes his way down the hallways of the precinct. He appears old and tired as he sweeps around the many investigators looking for Pamela Quiq. He continues down the halls, eventually coming to the janitor's closet. The JANITOR checks his watch. It is 4:18am. As he comes closer to the closet he notices a strange smell emitting from it. Slowly, he opens the door to find a large black garbage bag. Taped to it is a note. The note appears to be made from pieces of torn magazines and newspapers. It reads: JUST TAKING OUT THE TRASH! More curious, the JANITOR opens the bag and looks horrified at the broken, melting remains of PAM.)
Eli's Apartment- (ELI lays in bed, asleep, when the phone begins to ring. ELI begins to stir and lazily opens his eyes to see his cat looking at him from on top of his stomach. After five rings he crawls out of bed, shooing the cat away, to answer the phone in the other room. Before picking up the phone, ELI checks the clock on his television. It is 4:22am. Reluctantly, Eli picks up the phone.)
YAMI- Eli.
(Over the phone)
RYOU- Eli, it's me.
YAMI- Ground man? What's up? Why are you calling?
(Over the phone)
RYOU- You have to get down to the station quick.
YAMI- What for? Did they find Pam?
(Over the phone)
RYOU- Oh yeah, they found her.
YAMI- Where?
(Over the phone)
RYOU- In the broom closet on the third floor.
YAMI- Of the station?
(Over the phone)
RYOU- Yes. The Chief said you better get down here quick if you want to be on this case.
YAMI- I'll be there in a minute. (Hangs up)
(At that moment the cat enters the room and cries.)
YAMI- Sorry, they need me again.
(The cat cries once again and runs away.)
Police Department- (ELI enters a hectic setting in the hallway of the third floor. There are officers and forensic experts everywhere. ELI spots the CHIEF, WIRES, and a JANITOR standing further away from the crowd of people.)
CHIEF- (upset) This is an absolute outrage! How could the killer have broken into a police station and dumped her here without a single officer noticing. This is un-fucking-believable. (spots ELI) Eli! (signals him over) This is the man who found Mrs. Quiq. (looks back over at the closet) The press is going to have a field day with this. Un fucking believable.
(The CHIEF begins to walk down the hall. Before leaving he turns around and faces ELI.)
CHIEF- Eli…just find this guy, all right.
(ELI turns his attention to WIRES, who looks sick.)
YAMI- Is it really that bad?
JANITOR- It's absolutely horrible. Monstrous.
YAMI- Sir, when did you find the body?
JANITOR- 4:18. I was about to end my shift when I noticed the smell. That's all I know.
YAMI- Thank you.
(As though suddenly noticing it, ELI sniffs the air and makes a slightly disgusted gesture. Curious, he walks towards the closet, pushing past all the forensics experts. When he finally sees the remains, he quickly turns his head away in disgust, holding his nose. Not all the ice has melted away, but as the ice melts, so does more of her body, leaving little less than liquid behind. At that very moment, LEON is heard rushing through the halls.)
SETO- Let me through. I want to see her.
(LEON is seen pushing through the crowd up to the closet door and then suddenly stop. As he looks into the closet his mouth drops open.)
SETO- (long pause) Oh God, Pam!
(LEON covers his mouth and nose and suddenly runs away. ELI watches as he runs and turns away himself. He makes his way back to WIRES. This time, the JANITOR is gone and GROUND MAN is in his place.)
YAMI- So, I know this a pretty old question, but has anyone found anything?
BAKURA- Not a single thing. Not a single damn fingerprint on the letter or the bag. They're hoping we get lucky with the autopsy.
RYOU- Autopsy? What are they going to do? Run her through a strainer? (pauses) So, do you think we should have people watching Leon.
YAMI- No, I think he's hiding something.
BAKURA- You think he did it?
YAMI- I couldn't say. Why don't we tag him tomorrow.
BAKURA- (unexcited) That's what we do best.
RYOU- (restless) We're going to go. You can stay if you want to finish watching those hopefuls sponge up the rest of her. I know the coroner, nice lady; so if she finds anything we'll let you know.
Eli's Office- (ELI is seen at his familiar spot, at his desk, casually searching through papers. As he searches through the papers, it becomes evident that they are all about the Manchester's business. ELI comes across a copy of the Senior Manchester's last will and testimate. He quickly scans through until he sees something interesting. It reads: 'In the event of my death, I will leave my business and all it's profits to be evenly distributed to the peoples in my family, which will be re-distributed with the passing of a member. This trend will continue until the event in which none of my family members or their family is left. In which case, regular business protocol will continue.' ELI re-reads this a few times when the phone rings. Annoyed, he looks at the clock before picking up the phone. It is 6:04am.)
YAMI- Make it quick, I'm working now, Ground man.
(Over the phone)
RYOU- How did you know it was me?
YAMI- No one else calls me anymore.
(Over the phone)
RYOU- How sad for you. Anyway, did you find anything?
YAMI- A possible motive. What about you?
(Over the phone)
BAKURA- We got really lucky.
YAMI- You're on the line too?
(Over the phone)
BAKURA- Yes, but that doesn't matter. Tell him what happened Ground man.
RYOU- I am damn it. Anyway Eli, the coroner poured Pamela's remains through a filter and-
BAKURA- That's plain wrong!
RYOU- Let me have fun. It helps me not to throw up. Like I was saying, and what looked to have at one time been her hand…we found hair! Black hair.
BAKURA- (sarcastically) Now all we need to do is search for anyone on earth with black hair and a reason to kill off this family.
YAMI- For that, we will be trailing Leon. This is exactly what we needed.
(Looks back down at the Will.)
YAMI- Gentlemen…Let's find ourselves a murderer.
