The Cops Of Burnside
--- A police station in the middle of the town is covered with lights at night. There are guards all outside the perimeter.
Cop#1
I hope nobody even looks at what is going on here. If they find out… We’ll have to kill everyone. That’s what the Boss said.
Cop#2
Yeah… I really don’t want to shoot my wife. So I’ll have to shoot without being told. Because if anybody gets in… I’ll have to shoot my family. If anybody finds out about the germ in the factory… it’ll infect them.
Cop#1
I’ll make sure nobody gets in. And If they do… I’ll make sure they don’t come back out.

Int. Police Perimeter, night
Cop#2
Hey, Jerry… I just thought of something.
Jerry
What, Fred?
Fred
If this is supposed to be a secret… I mean, how is this a secret. Isn’t this kind of obvious that there are hundreds of guards out side of the police station. I mean, we’ve never done this before. Wouldn’t the residents be a little curious about what is going on?
Jerry
Well… If you were at the board meeting, Fred, you would of known that in the newspaper, they said that there was a smart sneaky criminal in the station and we can’t let him get away or he’ll blow up the town. Or something like that… I don’t really know, I don’t pay attention to them, but I go so I won’t get in trouble.
Fred
Whatever, Jerry. Get to work.
Int. Dirt Road, night
--- The man crawls up to the fence and sees Guard one (Jerry) And Guard Two (Fred). He reaches down into his coat pocket and grabs the 9mm. He reaches into his other coat pocket and grabs a silencer. He slowly screws the silencer onto the 9mm and raises the gun at Fred’s face.
