Last of the old Skit comps entries I'm going through. I like this one but was never sure how to end it as you can see. Any feedback (especially AngieBaby!) would be most welcome. Thanks
EXT. CITY STREET NIGHT.
SFX: POLICE SIRENS.
A CROWD OF PEOPLE STAND AT A TAPED OFF CRIME SCENE. A CAR ROLLS UP WITH LIGHTS FLASHING. A PLAIN CLOTHES DETECTIVE ( DETECTIVE ) STEPS OUT OF THE CAR AND GREETS A UNIFORMED OFFICER (OFFICER).
DETECTIVE:
Officer? What we got here? Another virtually impossible murder case for me and the team at the forensics lab?
OFFICER:
Detective.
THEY PASS UNDER THE POLICE TAPE AND MOVE INTO THE CRIME SCENE.
DETECTIVE:
Not even a body. They leave nothing in this town, God damn it.
OFFICER:
Sorry the body's over there?
HE POINTS TO A DEAD MAN SPRAWLED IN THE ROAD.
DETECTIVE:
Ok we got a body, but no murder weapon, that could be impossible to find.
OFFICER:
And we found a gun right over there.
HE POINTS TO A STILL SMOKING GUN.
DETECTIVE:
So...we got the victim...we got the weapon....but who pulled the trigger? Vanished without a trace I suspect.
OFFICER:
He's right here. He was waiting at the scene.
THEY WALK OVER TO A MAN IN HANDCUFFS.
SUSPECT:
I killed him. With that gun. On purpose.
DETECTIVE:
Trying to cover for someone. Got any witnesses?
CROWD 1:
I saw him do it.
THE CROWD AND SUSPECT NOD AND MURMUR IN AGREEMENT.
CROWD 2:
Me too.
DETECTIVE:
But in this neighbourhood, who's gonna testify?
CROWD 1:
I'll do it. I'll testify.
CROWD 2:
Me too.
DETECTIVE:
Ok, here's what we're going to do. I'm going to close my eyes and count to ten and when I open them I want a case to solve. Jesus, I didn't spend all those years at cop school for this Mickey Mouse bullshit. Now, you guys ready?
THE CROWD AND SUSPECT AND OFFICER NOD AND MURMUR IN AGREEMENT.
DETECTIVE:
Ok. One...two...three...four....five...six...seven...eight...nine...ten.
END.
