EXT. WOODSBORO COMMUNITY COLLEGE - EAST SIDE DORMS - CONT'D

Moments have passed, the police and paramedics have stormed the scene. Police tape surrounds the front entrance of the dorm. Deputy Amerstead and officer DAMIAN STROSS, a 26 year old, black haired, muscular framed guy, standing at 6'2. Stross has that I'm here to serve presence about him. He's really determined to impress Lisa, even though, she's not interested in him. Dewey walks up to Kirby, who is sitting on a bench, isolating herself from everyone.

DEWEY
Kirby?

Kirby remains silent, staring off elsewhere.

After giving a statement to deputy Amerstead, Nikki walks over to Kirby.

DEWEY(CONT'D)
I'm sorry you two had to see this? (looks to Kirby, who is obviously
rattled) You okay?

NIKKI
We just found our friend DEAD. Of course we're not okay.

Nikki walks away, her arm crossed.

Dewey kneels down to be eye level with Kirby.

KIRBY
(sobbing)
Why me?

DEWEY
(sighs and sits next to Kirby)
I don't know. But I can promise you that whoever did this.. We're gonna catch them.

Kirby looks at Dewey then raises up from the bench.

KIRBY
When? After TWO or THREE more of my friends are killed? (beat)
By then it'll be too late.

Kirby's words hit Dewey hard as you can see the broken emotion in his eyes. But he
understands Kirby's pain.

KIRBY(CONT'D)
I'm sorry.

Kirby storms off. Dewey remains sitting on the bench, letting Kirby's words sink in,
feeling like he has failed.

Kirby crosses under the tape then runs into Chris.

CHRIS
Oh my God. Kirby, are you okay?

KIRBY
I'm fine. (beat) But Ally's not..

CHRIS
Don't treat it like it's your fault. You had no control over this.

KIRBY
(holding back sobs)
I'm sorry, I just need to be alone for a while.

Kirby walks passed Chris. He understands her pain and lets her go, but
you can see in his eyes that he feels hurt.

Kirby takes in a few deep breaths and exhales. Her vision then becomes blurry.
A ringing sound stings her ear drum. She is oblivious of her surroundings, as
everything is a blur. Sidney shows up just in time. Kirby is having a panic attack.

SIDNEY
Oh my God Kirby! Are you okay?

Sidney cradles Kirby and helps her to a nearby bench.

KIRBY
(dizzy)
I need my meds.

SIDNEY
(mumbles to herself)
Meds.

Sidney immediately begins digging through Kirby's bag. She pulls out an orange
prescription bottle, labeled, "OLANZAPINE". Without hesitation, she pops two
capsules out and gives them to Kirby.

Kirby downs the capsules. It takes a moment but Kirby recovers. She looks at
Sidney, then attacks her with a hug.

SIDNEY
My God Kirby, I didn't know it was this bad.

KIRBY
That's because nobody does.

SIDNEY
It's gonna be okay, kid. It's gonna be okay.

Kirby looks over Sidney's shoulder and sees someone just outside of the crowd. Her eyes widen.
She breaks away from Sidney and runs over towards this individual. Sidney looks to see who Kirby
is running to, and is surprised herself.

SIDNEY(CONT'D)
(slightly smiles)
I don't believe it.

Kirby runs over to NATHAN REED, a 25 year old, black haired, muscular framed guy, standing about 6'2.
Nathan is Kirby's older and only brother. He was away on service in the marines. He originally grew up in
Woodsboro, then enlisted in the military after high school. Very protective, especially over his baby sister.
Also shares the same personality as Kirby.

Kirby attacks Nathan with a hug and nearly breaks out into tears.

NATHAN
Oh wow, you've definitely grown since I last seen you. (beat) How
You doing little sis?

KIRBY
(sobbing)
I've missed you so much. I needed you so many times.

NATHAN
I'm here now Kirbs.

Gale meets with Sidney.

GALE
Who's Abercrombie over there?

SIDNEY
That's Kirby's brother.

GALE
Wait, isn't her brother overseas?

SIDNEY
I thought so too. (beat) She really needs this though.

KIRBY
But wait, I though you were?...

Nathan cuts Kirby off, already knowing the answer to her question.

NATHAN
I was. I heard about what happened then hopped on the first flight
out. I had to make sure you were okay.

KIRBY
Well in all honesty, I'm not. I'm broken beyond repair.

NATHAN
Hey, look at me. I'm here, and not going anywhere until I know
that you're okay.

KIRBY
You promise you won't leave again?

NATHAN
Seriously? I just traveled over five thousand miles to get here. My ass isn't going anywhere.

Kirby laughs.

KIRBY
Does mom know you're back?

NATHAN
Naww. Who do you think picked me up from the airport?

Nikki emerges from the crowd and meets with Kirby and Nikki.

NIKKI
Hey Kirby, your mom's here. She's looking for you.

Nikki looks over to Nathan and practically falls in love.

NIKKI(CONT'D)
Well hello! Who's this?

Kirby laughs.

KIRBY
(slightly chuckling)
He's my brother.

NIKKI
Oh. Meet to nice you, I mean nice to meet you. I'm Nicole.
Everyone calls me Nikki though.

NATHAN
Nathan. You okay?

NIKKI
Oh yeah, you're fine, I mean I'm fine. I mean I'm not (sigh) damn.
I'm sorry, I just can't talk today.

NATHAN
Yeah, I understand. You guys have been going through some pretty rough shit.

NIKKI
The roughest.

KIRBY
I think I'm gonna stay at my moms place tonight.

NIKKI
Mind if I come along?

KIRBY
I was gonna ask you anyway.

NIKKI
With what's going on here, I would feel better away from it all.

KIRBY
Understandable.

[CUT TO]

Dewey stands, scratching his head. Gale approaches him.

GALE
Hey, you okay?

DEWEY
Kirby's right.

GALE
About?

DEWEY
Everything. I know we won't catch this son-of-a-bitch before he claims
another life.

GALE
Hey, don't beat yourself up over this. You're doing what you can. That's
all that matters.

DEWEY
Yeah, well it's not enough.

GALE
Out of the twenty years that I've known you Dewey. Not once have I
ever felt like you were holding back. You're always there when someone
needs you. Take it from your wife, of all the people to tell you that.

DEWEY
(sigh)
I need to focus. I have no clues, three bodies, and a killer still on the
loose.

GALE
Or Killer(s).

DEWEY
I'm not even sure anymore.

GALE
So much for that isolated incident theory.

DEWEY
(sighs)
Yeah.

GALE
Were there any messages left this time?

DEWEY
I believe his message was pretty clear.

GALE
You know what I mean.

DEWEY
On the wall, in blood, was written, "REMIND YOU OF SOMEONE?".
It had to be directed towards Kirby.

GALE
Yeah, but what does it mean?

DEWEY
My guess is Olivia.

GALE
Why would the killer jump from patterning his kills after the second movie, to a
death that's never even been seen on film?

DEWEY
I don't know. But what I do know, is that he's trying to get to Kirby somehow.

GALE
I thought Sidney was victim royalty?

DEWEY
Seems as if the killer's after new meat.

GALE
Well do you have someone watching over her?

DEWEY
I'm sending deputy Amerstead to keep an eye on her. I just got finished
talking to her mom, she's gonna stay with her and her brother for a while.

GALE
Well, I think I'm gonna stop by Judy's and check with her and baby Noah.
You figure anything else out, let me know.

DEWEY
Please be careful Gale.

GALE
Always. Well not always but you get my point.

Dewey chuckles as Gale leaves. He then looks back at the crime scene and sighs,
followed by running his fingers through his hair.
