Full Chapter
EXT. CLEARWOOD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - NIGHT

The windows of the hospital rooms are lit up by lights, bringing light to the dark night that surrounds the busy hospital. It may be night time, the time where people relax and sleep for the night, but the hospital is always busy.

INT. UNUSED HALLWAY - NIGHT

Clarence walks through a currently unused and dark hallway. Even though nobody is supposed to be there, Clarence must make his rounds there just to be sure. As he walks through the dark and empty halls -- HE HEARS FOOTSTEPS. He turns to look at the direction where he thinks he hears the footsteps coming from.

Suddenly -- A HAND GRABS HIS SHOULDERS. Clarence spins around to find -- TANNEN.

TANNEN: Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

Clarence chuckles in relief upon realizing that it was just Tannen.

CLARENCE: It's okay, Bill. What are you doing in here?

TANNEN: I saw you walking in here and I wanted to see you before you left. Are you leaving?

CLARENCE: Yeah. Just making my final rounds for the night.

TANNEN: Okay. Well, I'll see you tomorrow, Buddy.

CLARENCE: Absolutely. Goodnight, Bill.

TANNEN: Goodnight, Clarence.

Tannen walks back to the regular hallway. Clarence stands there for a moment to collect himself after being startled by Tannen.

INT. CLARENCE'S OFFICE - NIGHT

Clarence finishes up a few things before gathering his stuff up to leave. He clocks out and leaves his office for the night.

INT. PARKING GARAGE - NIGHT

Clarence exits the elevator and walks through the parking garage. As he approaches his car, he finds something taped to his windshield. He is shocked when he realizes what it is -- A PHOTOGRAPH OF TASHA'S DEAD BODY. Clarence is horrified upon realizing that he has seen this girl with Scott before.

PHONE RINGS! Clarence answers the phone.

CLARENCE: Hello?

SKIFACE: Find the gift I left on your window?

CLARENCE: Why would you do this? She's just a kid. She has nothing to do with us.

SKIFACE: It's just a preview for you to see. To show you that I'm not playing around. If you think what I did to her was bad...wait until you see what I do to everyone close to you. To everyone that you love. I am going to kill your friends and your family. And I'll make you watch before I kill you last.

Skiface can be heard chuckling over the phone before -- CALL IS DISCONNECTED. Clarence, the tough, badass, hero of Clearwood, is now terrified upon realizing how serious this is.

EXT. BEAMER CAFE - NIGHT

The Beamer Cafe is active tonight. From outside, we could hear the music playing and the activities occurring from inside the cafe.

INT. BEAMER CAFE - NIGHT

Austin, Simon, and Martinez are sitting at a table and eating burgers together.

MARTINEZ: Where is Travis?

AUSTIN: He's with Tabitha tonight.

MARTINEZ: Pussywhipped!

SIMON: I agree.

AUSTIN: He's doing what we would all be doing if we were with our girlfriends. The dude is getting some.

MARTINEZ & SIMON: True!

AUSTIN: We need to talk about our plans to take down that loser ass club now that it has gotten bigger.

MARTINEZ: I suggest that we take out Scott Lane and Gerald Dixon. They're the tougher ones.

AUSTIN: I agree. With Scott and Gerald out of the way, the rest of those loser ass wimps will be easier to take on even with just the four of us. Scott and Gerald are their muscle. Without them, they're weak.

SIMON: Exactly.

AUSTIN: We will win this war.

Austin takes a drink out of his milkshake with a straw, making a very loud sucking sound.

EXT. REST STOP PARKING LOT - NIGHT

We find a car shaking violently and hear the sounds of a female moaning loudly.

INT. TRAVIS'S CAR - NIGHT

Travis is having sex with girlfriend, TABITHA (17), who is taking advantage of wearing a skirt. Tabitha moans loudly.

TABITHA: Harder, Travis! Harder!

Travis continues to thrust harder. This makes her moan loudly and the car shake even more.

EXT. REST STOP PARKING LOT - NIGHT

From outside the car, we find SKIFACE rising from underneath the car. It turns out that he has slashed the tires beyond the point of them being able to move.

INT. TRAVIS'S CAR - NIGHT

Travis and Tabitha finally reach their climax and moan as they have their orgasms. Travis opens the driver's door, steps out, and puts his pants back on.

TABITHA: (as she gets out of the car) I have to use the bathroom.

TRAVIS: K.

Tabitha walks to the ladies bathroom and Travis stays in the car. He turns on the radio and listens to some rap music. PHONE RINGS. Travis answers his cell phone by pressing the SPEAKER BUTTON.

TRAVIS: Hello?

SKIFACE: Hello, Travis.

Travis doesn't recognize the voice and is feeling both confused and disturbed by the voice.

TRAVIS: Who is this?

SKIFACE: Somebody who is not happy with you being in my way of taking down the SURFACK club. I want to take them out myself.

TRAVIS: Join the club of taking down the club, buddy.

SKIFACE: I want you out of my way.

TRAVIS: Or else what? I'll kick your ass just the same.

SKIFACE: I don't think threatening me is going to get you anywhere, Travis. I just saw your pretty little girlfriend walking into the bathroom. It would be a shame if you didn't save her on time.

Travis is shocked and alerted by this.

SKIFACE: How does having car sex in the middle of the night in a rest stop feel?

Travis realizes that the mysterious person is nearby and becomes horrified.

TRAVIS: Please. Don't hurt her.

SKIFACE: If you want to save Tabitha, you better run to her now.

CALL IS DISCONNECTED.

EXT. REST STOP PARKING LOT - NIGHT

Travis gets out of his car and runs to the ladies bathroom. Just as he's about to reach the entrance, he runs into -- TABITHA.

TABITHA: Hey, what's...

TRAVIS: (grabbing her arm) We have to go now!

TABITHA: What's going on?

Before they can leave -- SKIFACE COMES OUT OF NOWHERE. He grabs Tabitha, who screams for Travis to save her. Travis turns back and punches him. But the Killer turns to him and violently pushes him. But Travis is just concerned about his girlfriend.

TRAVIS: TABITHA! RUN!

Tabitha runs back to the car as her boyfriend is brutally murdered. Skiface stabs Travis multiple times in the chest until he is dead.

Tabitha starts the car but it won't go due to the tires being slashed.

EXT. REST STOP PARKING LOT - NIGHT

Skiface approaches the car. Tabitha runs out of the car and proceeds to run. But Skiface throws his knife at her. The knife goes into her back. Tabitha screams in pain as she falls to the ground.

Skiface approaches her as she tries to crawl away. He stomps on her on lower back, which makes her scream in pain. he yanks the knife out of her back.

TABITHA: (pleading) PLEASE! NO! DON'T HURT ME!

Skiface ignores her pleas as he pulls her hair, which lifts her head up.

TABITHA: NO! NO! NO!

Skiface slices the knife across her throat. Her neck slits wide open, spitting out a waterfall of blood onto the ground. Tabitha instantly dies from this. Skiface pushes her head forward, leaving her body on the ground to lie in a pool of her own blood that is forming around her.
