Chapter Fifteen

Uncovering The Mystery

Gale makes her way over to the Sunrise Studio archive building. She knocks on the door but it's locked. She looks around to see if there's someone who works for the studio who can help her out but no one is around.

"Hello?" Gale yelled hoping to get someone's attention in the archives building.

She goes over to a key-card swiper. Suddenly, someone grabs her shoulder. It is Jennifer. Gale screams.

"Geez..." Jennifer says.

"What the hell are you doing?" Gale asked her.

"Being Gale Weathers. What the hell are you doing?" Jennifer asked her.

"I am Gale Weathers!" Gale said to her.

"Here's how I see it. I've got no house, no bodyguard, no movie, and I'm being stalked. Because someone wants to kill me? No, because someone wants to kill you. So now, starting now, I go where you go. That way, if someone wants to kill me, I'll be with you, and since they really want to kill you, they won't kill me, they'll kill you. Make sense?" Jennifer said to her.

"None." Gale said.

"You know in the movies, I play you as being much smarter." Jennifer said to her.

"And as a sane person. For you that must be quite a stretch." Gale said

"That's funny." Jennifer says sarcastically.

"Ha." Gale gives her a sarcastic laugh.

"Need to get in that building?" Jennifer asked.

"Yeah." Gale smirked.

"There a story in that building?" Jennifer asked.

"Maybe." Gale answers.

"Gale Weathers would find a way." Jennifer said holding up a sunrise studio card and then swipes the slot and the door opens.

"Bitch. Wait!" She pushes Jennifer aside and goes in first.

"Don't tell me what to do." Jennifer said. They go down a dark staircase to the

basement. "Basements creep me out. Basements creep me out." Jennifer says clinging to Gale who's annoyed by her already.

"You'd make a fascinating interview. Hello?" They hear a cough and walk into another room. Bianca Burnette, a dead look alike for Princess Leia is sitting at a desk. Hi. I'm Gale Weathers. I'm here researching with the police, this photo." She places a photo of Maureen on a desk. "It was taken at the studio. Her name is Maureen Prescott, back then it was probably Roberts. Hey, are you?" Gale asked shocked.

"No." Bianca said harshly.

"But you look just..." Jennifer said dumbfounded.

"Like her? I've been hearing it all my life." Bianca said.

"It's uncanny!" Jennifer said.

"I was up for the role of Princess Leia. I was this close. So who gets it? The once who sleeps with George Lucas." Bianca said.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up a sore subject for you." Gale said to her.

"Yeah, sure, none of em did. So how can I help you? Or do you want me to tell you who you look like." Bianca told her exhaling smoke from her cigarette.

"Huh. How about some information on Maureen Roberts?" Gale asked ignoring the comment.

"I don't work for the cops, sweetie. I work for the studio." Bianca said.

"Really, well, would you work for the president?" Gale asks placing a $50 bill on Bianca's desk.

"The president of the studio." Bianca says pushing it back to Gale.

"Fifty dollars? Who are you a reporter for Woodsboro High?" Jennifer asks. She removes a ring and places it on Bianca's desk. "It's worth two grand! Now are you gonna help Gale Weathers or not?"

All three are now standing at the file cabinet in the file room.

"I know every face in here. I have a respect for the unknown actor. If they're looking for Maureen Roberts, they're never gonna find her. Rina Reynolds, they will." Bianca said pulling out snapshots of Maureen when she was younger and under an assumed name.

"Rina Reynolds, a stage name." Jennifer said.

"You should talk, Judy Jurgenstern." Bianca said as Gale laughs.

"What are these movies? 'Amazombies', 'Space Psycho', 'Creatures from the San Andreas Fault'?" Gale asked reading off some the movies Maureen has been.

"Horror pictures. Back in Milton's heyday." Bianca told them.

"Back in what?" Gale and Jennifer asked in unison.

"John Milton, the horror producer, those were his movies." Bianca told them.

Both Gale and Jennifer looked at each other realizing they just discovered something about Maureen Prescott.

Dewey and Wallace are waiting for Sidney outside a bathroom. Billy had been on the phone with his parents checking up on the twins. Inside the bathroom, Sidney is washing her hands. She washes her face, then notices he hands are shaking.

"Come on, Sid." Sidney told her self.

She hears a noise and looks under the stall doors. She sees a pair of feet rising to stand on the toilet. Sid get her can of mace ready and starts to walk out. She stops and kicks the stall door in. Angelina is standing on the toilet and drops several things.

"Oh my God, Sidney Prescott! Oh my God, I'm Angelina Tyler, I'm you! I mean, I'm not. I mean, I was." Angelina said. Sid notices a Ghost face mask among the things Angelina dropped. "I thought, well, if there's no movie, then no one would care if I took some souvenirs." Angelina said.

"Souvenirs?" Sidney asked.

"I may never win another role, so these may be my only memories, ya know, of Hollywood. I know it's weird, cause it's your life and all. I wanted to make you proud, Sidney." Angelina said to the real Sidney.

"Oh well, I'm sure I would've been." Sidney told her.

"The real Sidney, the real person! I wish... I wish it would've worked out." Angelina said.

Angelina exits through a door labeled 'TO STUDIO 16'. Sidney notices that she left a hair brush and picks it up.

"Hey!" Sidney goes through the door. "Angelina. Hello?"

She continues walking through a hallway and onto the Woodsboro movie set. She emerges from the front door of Stu Macher's house and in front of the replica of her own house. She stares in disbelief. She walks around the set, seeing Stu's garage and ends up at the set of her bedroom. She remembers back to events from six years ago.

"Woah, close call!" Billy (V.O.)

"What are you doing here?" Sidney (V.O.)

"Well, it occurred to me that I've never snuck through your bedroom window." Billy (V. O.)

"Shh shh shh..." Sidney (V. O.)

"You see what you do to me?" Billy (V.O.)

"You know what my Dad will do to you?" Sidney (V. O.)

"About the no sex stuff, I'm not trying to rush you at all." Billy (V.O.)

"Would you settle for a PG-13 relationship?" Sidney (V.O.) [and outloud]-She smirks at the memory. A nice intimate moment between her and her husband Billy.

Sidney hears a noise outside of the set. She goes to the window to look out. As she does, the door slams shut. She readies her mace and walks to the door. She opens the closet door to block the main door as she did in six years earlier. She moves back to the windows. The doors shake. Suddenly, Ghost face pops up behind her in the window. He smashes through and drags her out. They struggle and she punches him and runs away. Around the front of the house she is on the porch.

"Billy! Dewey!" Sidney screams crying.

She goes into the house and locks the door. The killer jumps out of the closet behind her. She screams and ducks. He lunges and sticks his knife in the door. Sidney runs up the stairs. At the top, she throws a plant at the killer. Then she pushes a cart down, blocking

the stairs. She runs to a doorway, opens it and steps through, onto nothing. She almost falls, but catches herself. The killer gets up the stairs and reaches the door. Ghost Face opens it looking for her. She is waiting on the other side and pulls him through and throws him to the set of her bedroom below. He lands on the bed, gets up and runs out

the door. Sidney got to the stairs.

"Billy! DEWEY!" Sidney cries.

"Psst! Sidney! Over here." Sid hears a woman's voice and goes towards it. "Yes, mother will protect you from the boogey man."

Sidney enters the set of her mother's bedroom. There is blood splattered all over the room. A body is laying on the floor.

"Hide in mommy's bed. I lied, Sidney, I can't protect you at all! You don't' deserve to be protected! You didn't protect me!" The voice says.

"We did your mom a favor, Sid, that woman was a slut-bag whore who flashed her shit all over town like she was Sharon Stone." Randy (V.O.)

"Cause let's face it, Sidney, your mother was no Sharon Stone." Stu (V.O.)

"Your slut mother was fucking my father." Randy (V.O.)

"Sidney, where are you?" Billy calls her off stage.

"Billy!" She runs to the window. "Billy, help me!" Sidney cries out for her husband.

Sidney turns to see the body, covered in a sheet standing up.

"Give mommy a kiss and we'll make up." The voice says. The body raises it's arms. SIDNEY!

Sidney screams and jumps out the window. She rolls off the roof and lands on the ground, hard. The studio lights come on and Billy runs to Sidney. He's followed by Dewey and Det. Wallace.

"SID! Sid. Baby, are you okay? What happened?" Billy calls her.

"The killer's in the house, Billy, he's upstairs! And my mother... my mother!" Sidney cries hysterically.

"Come on, let's go!" Det. Wallace said as he and two cops go into the house.

"I heard her voice! I saw her Billy." Sidney said crying. Billy holds her tight. She cries into his chest, shaking violently. Billy sustains his anger long enough to hold her.

"Upstairs! Come on let's go!" Det. Wallace said.

"It's ok, Sid. You weren't supposed to go into that house. It's all set up for the murder scene. I'm sorry you had to see that." Dewey told her.

"He was in there. He was in there, Dewey, I swear, I swear!" Sidney said through her sobs. Billy continues to comfort his wife.

"I know, I believe you." Dewey said.

Angelina, Tyson, and Kincaid enter. Kincaid runs to Sidney and Dewey.

"What happened?" Det. Kincaid asked running towards them.

"Kincaid, hey! There's nobody up here." Det. Wallace said.

"Come on, let's go." Billy said pulling Sidney.

Everyone is standing outside of the stage. Det. Kincaid listens as Sidney tells him what happened. Det. Wallace questions Angelina.

"Ok, so I stole a mask, whatever. I didn't know you got the gas chamber for that." Angelina said.

"You stole the mask?" Det. Wallace asked.

"I took it!" Angelina said.

"You took the mask or you stole the mask?" Det. Wallace asked her again.

"I took it, as like a souvenir!" Angelina said to him.

"Don't look at me, I didn't take shit!" Tyson said.

Dewey, Sid, Billy and Kincaid are standing by a car.

"No, he was there. I am not dreaming, I am not crazy, he was there in Woodsboro." Sidney said frustrated. Billy held her.

"That's not Woodsboro, Sidney." Det. Kincaid said to her.

"You know what you mean." Billy adds. "She's saying she was attacked and I fucking believe her."

"He, or she, or whoever this is was there!" Sidney said.

"Billy, take Sid back to the station and stay with her." Dewey told him. All three walked to Billy's car. Billy opens the passenger side door letting Sidney in. She climbs into the passenger seat clearly frightened. Billy closes the door.

"Why couldn't the son-of-a-bitch come after me? Why he had to go after my wife?" Billy asked angered. Dewey gave him a sympathetic look. "I tell you Dewey, I'm gonna fucking destroy whoever is behind this. Their dead understand!"

"I hear you Bill. Get her back to the precinct." Billy nods.

"Hey just one more thing." Billy said to Dewey. Dewey listens. Billy leans into his ear. "I don't trust Detective Kincaid. Watch your back." Dewey nods. Billy climbs into the drive seat, starts the car and pulls off.

Gale and Jennifer come running up to Dewey.

"Hey Dew!" Gale said.

"Dew." Jennifer said.

"Come one, we have to go catch up with Sid." Dewey told them.

"Take a look at this first." Gale hands him a picture. "Someone we know?" Gale asks.

"Where'd you get this?" Dewey asks.

"We got it. Archives." Jennifer said.

"Mickey was right. Sidney's mother was an actress, three movies." Gale told him.

"Horror movies." Jennifer said.

"You wanna know who produced all three?" Gale asks.

"Who?" Dewey asked.

"The same person who's producing Stab 3." Jennifer told him.

"No way." Dewey said. Gale and Jennifer both nod.
