## Full Chapter

EXT. LAKEHART HIGH SCHOOL - DAY

Drax is hiding within Lakehart High School as he's taking pictures of Destiny. He first spotted her as she was getting out of Jeff's car. Jeff got out of the car to be met up with Alexis, which Drax caught on camera, finding this moment interesting. There's something about Jeff and Alexis that catches his interest. He takes more pictures of Jeff and Alexis.

After Jeff left, Drax followed Destiny as she met up with Daniel, Chris, Kris, Amanda, Jason, and Brett. He gets shots of each and every single person within Destiny's group of friends. Each person can now be identified.

INT. VENEDICT'S OFFICE - DAY

Drax is showing Venedict the pictures of Destiny with her friends. They go through the yearbook, identifying each of her friends.

VENEDICT: So the guy who she kisses...assuming is her boyfriend...(looking through yearbook)...Daniel Cordillo. The couple they're hanging out with is....(looks at yearbook)...Amanda McKenzie and...(checks yearbook)...Jason Nike. Then the three nerds are...(checking through yearbook)...Kris Bridges...(checks yearbook)...Chris Snyder...and...(checks yearbook)...Brett Stuart.

DRAX: But I think I know a possible suspect.

VENEDICT: Oh, yeah? Who?

DRAX: Somebody who would know her every routine. Somebody who would know exactly where she'd go and when...her own brother...and you're not going to believe who he and his girlfriend are.

Drax shows Venedict the pictures that he took of Jeff and Alexis. Upon viewing the pictures, Venedict instantly recognizes them --

CUT TO:

FLASHBACK

A younger Jyle Venedict is branding little Jeff and Alexis with the J.V. brand on their wrists, making them scream in agony.

BACK TO PRESENT

Venedict smiles upon realizing who the couple is.

VENEDICT: Those two little kids...who were connected to Greg Montana.

DRAX: Who, therefore, would possibly know who the current Ghostface is.

VENEDICT: Or they are the new Ghostface killers. Afterall, as you said...Brother would know where little Sister would be. He's the perfect suspect.

EXT. APARTMENT BUILDING - NIGHT

We find ourselves outside a crummy apartment building. It's a shady area. Mostly for the poor, low income, and most obviously where many addicts and criminals live.

INT. RYDELL'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

Rydell is getting drunk on his bed, mourning the loss of Kila. Beside his bed on a nightstand is a picture of himself and Kila. There is fury in his eyes as he seeks to be the one to find and destroy Ghostface for the murder of his girlfriend.

INT. APARTMENT BUILDING - HALLWAY - NIGHT

Ghostface climbs up the stairs to the floor where Rydell resides at. He walks through the hall, passing by other apartments. He's searching for Rydell's apartment.

INT. RYDELL'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

Rydell finishes the last of a whiskey bottle. We focus on the bottle like it will become very important in this chapter.

INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT

Ghostface scratches his knife across the wall outside of Rydell's apartment.

INT. RYDELL'S APARTMNET - NIGHT

Rydell hears this and is curious by this. It sounds like a knife scratching across the wall outside to him. He grabs his gun and goes to investigate.

INT. HALLWAY

Rydell comes out of his apartment to investigate the scratching noise. He finds the long knife scratch across the wall. As he checks this out -- GHOSTFACE walks across the hall from behind Rydell and enters his apartment without being seen.

Rydell realizes that this must be from Ghostface's knife and looks around the hallway. Showing some possible fear. He decides to get back into his apartment.

INT. RYDELL'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

Rydell closes his door and locks it. He goes back to his bed to start drinking a new bottle of whiskey. As he's drinking, he gets this strange feeling that he's not alone. He grabs his gun and looks around his dark apartment.

RYDELL: Hello? Is somebody there?

RYDELL'S POV

Rydell can't see every spot. The bathroom, closet, and behind the TV are all dark. The moonlight outside his window and his TV are the only source of light. But everything else is dark.

BACK TO SCENE

Rydell gets up from his bed and finds the light switch. He flips the switch.

RYDELL'S POV

Upon the light turning on -- GHOSTFACE COMES OUT FROM BEHIND THE TV.

BACK TO SCENE

Ghostface pushes Rydell back to his bed. After landing on his bed, Rydell points his gun at Ghostface and fires several rounds at him. But none of this fazes him.

RYDELL: Fuckin A!

Rydell continues to shoot until he runs out of bullets. He throws his gun away and gets up, standing up to Ghostface.

RYDELL: You killed my Kila...I will fucking kill you.

GHOSTFACE: You killed Sarah...It is I who will fucking kill you.

RYDELL: The hell you will.

Rydell tackles Ghostface and proceeds to punch him. Ghostface punches him back. The two struggle, punching, and kick each other. It is a brutal fight between two men who have lost a woman in their lives by each other.

Their fight is taken to Rydell's bed, where they take turns in throwing each other onto the bed in hopes of getting the upper hand. Ghostface jumps Rydell and proceeds to strangle with his bare hands, similar to how Ghostface was strangling Casey Becker in the first film.

Rydell grabs the empty whiskey bottle and shatters it over Ghostface's head. This makes Ghostface release his grip on him, backing away, and grabbing at his head. Rydell takes the opportunity to attack Ghostface with what is remaining of the broken whiskey bottle -- sharp enough to be a stabbing weapon.

Rydell goes for the kill, charging at him. But Ghostface grabs his throat and wrist. He lifts Rydell up, chocking him, and squeezing his wrist. This forces Rydell to drop the broken bottle onto his bed, which makes a safe landing without breaking it anymore.

Ghostface slams Rydell hard onto the floor. Enough of a loud slam of the body that you wonder how badly he has just hurt him. Rydell groans in pain as he attempts to crawl away from Ghostface, who grabs the broken bottle from the bed.

Ghostface drags Rydell back to him, holding him down with his face facing the floor. Ghostface raises the bottle up in the air and aims.

RYDELL: FUCK YOU!

Ghostface slams the sharpe pointed edges of the broken bottle into -- RYDELL'S SKULL. Rydell is dead.

Ghostface gets up to view Rydell's body for a moment. And with Rydell's murder, every single member of Venedict's gang that murdered Sarah Winters, her Little Brother, and shot the Boyfriend are now all dead. Ghostface leaves the apartment.

## Trivia

* With Rydell's death, this marked the final chapter to feature those responsible for the murder of Sarah Winters. Only Jyle Venedict, Judith, and Drax are the only remaining living major leaders of the gang. They were not present nor most likely known of Sarah's murder, yet are still considered responsible due to their leadership of the gang.
