## Full Chapter

INT. AUSTIN'S BASEMENT - NIGHT

Austin, Martinez, and Simon are collecting bats, brass knuckles, and chains to use as weapons to beat people with.

AUSTIN: We're going to that fucking clubhouse and take out Gerald Dixon. That dude likes to go hunting out in the woods on Tuesday nights. Are you guys ready?

MARTINEZ & SIMON: Ready.

AUSTIN: This is for Travis. Let's go.

EXT. AUSTIN'S HOUSE - NIGHT

They jump into Austin's car and drive off.

EXT. LYMHURST PARK WOODS - NIGHT

Gerald is looking around for his prey with his crossbow. Anytime he hears anything, he points his crossbow towards that direction. Could it be an animal or a person that is a threat to him? He marches through the trees as he keeps his eyes and ears open for any possible threat to him.

Gerald hears somebody approaching nearby him. He turns in that direction and aims his crossbow towards the noise. A person appears out from behind the large leaves of the trees. It's revealed to be -- NORA.

NORA: Have I told you lately how sexy you look with that crossbow?

GERALD: You just about nearly looked unsexy with a bow in your eye. You shouldn't sneak up on me like that, babe.

NORA: I'll take my chances.

GERALD: What are you doing out here?

NORA: I was looking for you.

GERALD: Hon, you know I do my hunting on Tuesday nights.

NORA: I wanted to spend time with you.

Nora puts her arms around Gerald and kisses him.

NORA: Actually...I want some love. Real loving.

The couple proceed to make out. Gerald lays Nora on the group as they get hot and heavy.

EXT. CLUBHOUSE - NIGHT

Austin, Martinez, and Simon arrive at the clubhouse. They get out of their car and get their weapons ready.

AUSTIN: We should split up. We might be able to find him better that way.

The other two nod in agreement and they split up. Austin heads North, Simon heads West, and Martinez heads East.

EXT. LYMHURST PARK WOODS - NIGHT (EAST)

Martinez looks around with his brass knuckles.

MARTINEZ: Dixon? Where are you? Come on, you little bastard.

Martinez hears a noise and thinks it's Gerald. He turns around and heads for the bushes. He approaches the bush where the noise came from. He prepares to punch with his brass knuckles. But instead of Gerald coming out of the bush -- IT'S SKIFACE.

Out of reflex, Martinez swings at Skiface. But his wrist is caught. Skiface swings his knife across Martinez's neck. Martinez is shocked by this as he looks at his own blood. He collapses to the ground. Martinez is dead.

EXT. LYMHURST PARK WOODS - NIGHT (WEST)

Simon is looking around for Gerald. He has a chain that he plans to beat Gerald to death with. We find that Skiface is following him, which Simon is unaware of. Simon finally feels Skiface's presence. He spins around and swings his chain at him. However, Skiface catches it and runs it behind Simon, wrapping the chain around his neck. Simon struggles to escape from Skiface's grip as the killer pulls the chain, squeezing it around his neck. Simon falls to his knees as he struggles to breathe. Skiface continues to tighten his grip until Simon dies.

Simon finally dies and Skiface releases his grip, allowing his body to fall to the ground.

EXT. LYMHURST PARK WOODS - NIGHT (NORTH)

Austin walks around the woods with his bat. He finds Gerald and Nora making out on the ground. He jumps out to confront them.

AUSTIN: ALRIGHT, DIXON!

Gerald and Nora jump up from the ground from being startled by Austin.

AUSTIN: I'm going to kill you for Travis!

GERALD: You best get out of here or...

AUSTIN: (interrupts him) Or what? You gonna kill me like you killed Travis?

GERALD: I didn't kill him!

AUSTIN: You killed him! I know it! So I'm going to kill you and your girlfriend.

NORA: Austin, just stop this!

AUSTIN: Shut your piehole, bitch!

Austin's disrespectful comment to Nora pisses Gerald off. This leads him to jumping at Austin, avoiding his bat, and punching him. The impact of the punch, pushes Austin back and he loses his bat. Before Gerald can take another punch, Austin recovers quickly and punches him back. This leads to a fist fight between Gerald and Austin.

Nora stands there in horror. She cannot stop the fight.

NORA: GUYS! STOP IT! YOU'RE GONNA KILL EACH OTHER!

Eventually, Gerald kicks Austin away and onto the ground. As Austin brings himself up, he pulls out a switchblade. This horrifies Nora. Even Gerald isn't sure that he can a hundred percent defend himself with Austin armed with a knife.

AUSTIN: Sorry, Dixon. But I must avenge Travis.

Austin goes to stab Gerald. But -- WHACK! Skiface has started attacking him with his own bat that he lost during the fight.

GERALD: (shocked) JESUS CHRIST!

Nora is scared.

NORA: GERALD! COME ON!

Gerald and Nora run away as Skiface attacks Austin, who finally realizes the truth.

AUSTIN: You! You killed Travis!

Skiface cocks his head and wields the bat. Austin realizes what is about to happen and is terrified for his life.

AUSTIN: No! Please!

But Skiface proceeds to be bash his head in with his own bat. Skiface is vicious and brutal in this beating. This causes Austin's brain matter, flesh, and blood to splatter all over the ground. Austin is dead.

Gerald and Nora are running far away from where Skiface has murdered Austin. They stop and Nora screams in horror when they find -- SIMON'S DEAD BODY!

EXT. LYMHURST PARK WOODS - NIGHT (LATER)

The police have taken over the entire woods, which is surrounded by a crime scene tape. The morgue staff are loading up the white sheet covered bodies of Austin, Martinez, and Simon into the morgue van. The new youthful sheriff, JEFFERY MALLORY (40s), is interviewing Gerald and Nora about the murders.

GERALD: Then, suddenly, this man in a white ski-mask appeared out of nowhere and started beating Austin with a baseball bat.

NORA: It was Austin's own bat.

MALLORY: Did you get a look at the man's eyes?

NORA: No.

GERALD: We took off running as soon as he showed up.

MALLORY: So you don't remember anything else about the man that you could describe?

GERALD: No, Sheriff. Just that he was a man over six foot wearing a white ski-mask.

MALLORY: Okay. Thank you. You're free to go.

Mallory walks away. Scott and Nick arrive to see what was going.

SCOTT: What happened?

GERALD: Austin and his team came to attack us. But...somebody kill them. They're all dead. And I think it was Travis's killer.

Scott is shocked by this. Could this be another killer or someone that was targeting Austin and his team?
