CARVER (Growls) I'm not crazy!! (Screams) Carver lunges at Gwen. Gwen quickly takes the empty gun from Officer Kurts belt and tries to shoot Carver. Gwen Wha-? Officer Kurt I don't keep it loaded Officer Kurt jumps in front of Gwen as Carver stabs him in the arm. Officer Kurt Gwen! Up stairs in the closet are the guns run! Gwen starts to run up the stairs. Carver Where do you think you're going, huh?! Carver runs after Gwen. Officer Kurt Run Gwen! Officer Kurt sees a gun at the corner of his eye and quickly grabs it and sees its loaded. Carver meets up with Gwen, he pushes her on the bridge and kicks her in the stomach. Gwen grabs his leg and throws him off her. Gwen tries to run away but Carver gets up. Officer Kurt points the gun. Officer Kurt Gwen get down! As Officer Kurt shoots the gun, Carver runs to Gwen. The bullet hits one of the support poles for the bridge as the right side collages. Gwen, falling, grabs onto the ledge as Carver grabs her leg. Gwen (Screams) Let me go! Officer Kurt quickly runs up the stairs to get to Gwen. CARVER (Chuckles) Ready Mommy?! Carver stabs Gwen in the leg. Gwen screams in pain. She then kicks him in the head causing him to fall of the bridge with is two stories up. Officer Kurt manages to reach Gwen and pulls her up. OFFICER Kurt Are you ok Gwen? Gwen holds on to her wounded bleeding leg. GWEN I think I'll be fine- Carver jumps on Officer Kurt's back and stabs him in the shoulder. Kurt throws him on another bridge. OFFICER Kurt Gwen, get out of here, take the gun get onto the platform! Gwen quickly takes the gun and runs to the platform. Carver gets up. CARVER (Chuckles) What you gonna do huh? you have no gun, you're worthless. Right Daddy a man is worthless without a weapon?... or was it a man is worthless with a weapon? Officer Kurt punches Carver in the face as Carver lunges at Kurt trying to stab him. Kurt moves as Carver cuts one of the support poles causing the bridge to collapse. Kurt and Carver fall into a big container of lard. GWEN No! Kurt!! Officer Kurt punches Carver in the face as Carver dunks Kurt under the lard as he pulls Carver under as well. GWEN Kurt?! In the lard Kurt strangles Carver. Carver tries to scratch him with his nails. Carvers body sinks to the bottom of the container. Kurt swims back up, Carver grabs his leg and smiles. Kurt kicks him in the head snapping his neck. GWEN (Worried) Kurt? Kurt? Officer Kurt?! Officer Kurt surfaces from the lard coughing. GWEN (Sighs) Thank god OFFICER Kurt (Chocking) I-It's all over... As Officer Kurt tries to get out of the container, Carver jumps up at him with his pairing knife. Officer Kurt screams. CARVER (Gasps for air) Do I scare you?? (Maniacal laughs) Gwen quickly without thinking pulls the trigger and shoots Carver in the head as brain particles shoot out into the lard, snapping his neck fully as his body sinks in the lard. GWEN (Breathing heavily) N-Now it's over... Officer Kurt gets out of the container as they both, badly brushed, walk out of the Lard Factory holding each other. The End.
