INT. RESTAURANT - DAYTIME

Chief inspector Charles Milagros enters a restaurant to meet

his work partner Rodney Smith. Charles had been informed by

Rodney of a new lead for their investigation on a serial

killer.

CHARLES

Morning my friend. How goes your

end of the investigation?.

Charles pulls a chair to the table and sits down.

RODNEY

I’ve just struck a new lead, the

chaps from the station just

informed me of a murder which fits

our guy’s MO.

CHARLES

Smashing news. I’ll have quick

coffee and then we’re going to have

a look at the scene.

Charles calls a waiter to the table.

WAITER

Good morning sir, may I take an

order?

CHARLES

As a matter of fact, yes you can. I

would like a latte please with one

of your finest breakfast omelettes.

WAITER

Most certainly sir, what kind of

omelette would you like?

CHARLES

I think I shall have a cheese and

ham omelette please.

WAITER

Of course sir.

RODNEY

(Mildly annoyed)

What the hell happened to having a

quick coffee?

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 2.

CHARLES

I didn’t have any breakfast this

morning, I swear.

RODNEY

Typical.

A few minutes later the waiter arrives with the coffee and

omelette.

WAITER

Your omelette and latte sir.

CHARLES

Ah, thank you my good man.

Charles begins to eat his omelette. Rodney stares at him in

silence.

CHARLES

This is a smashing omelette. It has

the perfect combination in flavor.

Charles continues to describe his omelette. Rodney suddenly

cuts in.

RODNEY

Will you be silent please and eat

your bloody omelette.

CHARLES

Alright, alright. Calm down.

RODNEY

(Calmly)

I am calm, I just want you to hurry

up so that we can sally forth to

the crime scene.

Charles angrily yells out.

CHARLES

Jesus Christ lets go now then!

RODNEY

(Pleased)

Thank you.

Charles leaves money on the table for his coffee and

omelette and proceeds outside with Rodney.

INT. CRIME SCENE - DAYTIME

As Charles and Rodney enter the crime scene a young police

officer approaches them.

CHARLES

Morning officer.

MARTIN

Morning inspector.

RODNEY

What’s the situation here?

MARTIN

We’ve got a Caucasian male.

Approximately twenty five years of

age. The death was caused by

multiple stab wounds to the

abdominal region, which caused a

slow death.

RODNEY

Interesting... very interesting.

CHARLES

It doesn’t seem to match our guy’s

MO.

MARTIN

Ah yes. The strange symbols on the

wall are around here.

Martin proceeds round a small corner to a wall which is

covered in mystic symbols.

CHARLES

At least we know where those little

buggers are.

RODNEY

Indeed. Right I think we have all

we can get at the moment.

CHARLES

Alright then. Lets be off.

Charles and Rodney leave the crime scene and make their way

to the station.
