Document #1: The Script(s)

Draft 1:
The phone rang while I was in the office, another person missing Damn it! I banged
my hand against the desk I sat at. That was the ninth person that has gone missing
from our town from the past two months. The past eight civilians gave us no clues to the
whereabouts or places they had gone to. I cant let them go missing forever, not afterMy partner, Greg, interrupted my thoughts and asked, Henry, you think while the
information about this recent missing person gets through, we could go buy some
doughnuts or cupcakes for the guys here at the station? Weve had a rough time trying
to find these missing people and they deserve a little something to keep them
motivated. I thought about what he had said and realized he was right. I responded

back while I put on my coat and glasses, Youre right, lets get them a little gift for their
effort. I grabbed the keys to the car and headed out of the Police Station.
We drove to the closest bakery to buy to baked goods. We arrived at a bakery
called, Jims Surprising Treats! We walked in and were greeted by a young boy who
looked around the age of 17 or 18 who muttered something about a sort of list, his
name tag read Christian. Hello we would like to buy 5 dozens of a variety of your baked
goods, I said to him while I tried to not stare at his lazy eye. Sure, the variety pack
come with different kinds of doughnuts and cupcakes. he responded while his lazy eye
looked the other way. What seemed to be the owner, it appeared to be that they were
the only employees. The owner walked behind the teenage boy and began to talk
enthusiastically as he smiled, But in reality, its a real surprise what you get in there.
Youre in luck, these dozens are from a fresh batch I let out small chuckle, Okay? I
guess thats pretty cool. I payed Christian the amount for the 5 dozens I bought. I called
out to Greg and told him that it was time to go back to the station. Greg walk up to me
and whispered, At 3 oclock, is the sex offender that was released about three months
ago for molesting. I whispered back, Three months ago? That wouldve given him
enough time to kidnap the missing civilians... Greg looked at me and said, You cant
make justifications without hard evidence! I replied back, I know, I know. It was... just a
thought. We got into the car and began to drive back to the Police Station.
I walked in the station and yelled out, I brought doughnuts and other sweets!
The officers let out a small celebration and shouted out little things like, You the real
MVP! or, Thank you Jesus! I put the sweets on the table picked up the document
about the latest person who had gone missing which was put on my desk. Her name
was Abigail Wilson. I looked at the document more, she was an average heighted
blonde girl, just like the other eight missing civilians. She also seemed to be a teenage
girl, the same as the five of the eight that went missing. I read the last of it and said that
someone had last seen her at a bakery called, Surprising Treats! Greg and I grabbed
our coats and headed for the door. As we were driving to the bakery I couldn't help but
think that that was the name of the bakery I had just visited. We arrived and began to
ask the workers about Abigail. Christian seemed to be nowhere in sight so we asked the
the owner, Excuse me sir, whats your name? He said that it was Jim. We were
wondering if you had seen a young girl named Abigail, she is a blonde 17 year old girl
with ocean blue eyes. Jim stood there for a second with a bit of a confused face and
responded back while he smiled, You know what? I believe she came here to buy a
doughnut two days ago but I might not be too sure. He stood there with a big grin on
his face. This guy is a freak, he smiles way too much. Do you know any thing else
about her? I asked him to be sure. Sorry, thats all I remember. But feel free to ask my
workers if you like. I proceeded to walk towards the sex offender that worked as a
janitor there. Henry! Long time no see. he said with his southern accent as he grinned
evilly. Listen here Connor, a girl named Abigail has gone missing. Do you know
anything about her? I showed him a picture as I asked him. His eyes went big, Well

shit, shes hot! Sorry mate, I havent seen her round here. My face went serious,
Shes 17, you pig! Fine. But if I hear that you had anything to do with her, Im going to
make sure you dont ever get out. I walked away from him and went towards Christian
that appeared to be on his lunch break. Hey, do you know anything about Abigail, I
asked him as I sat down. He gave me a disgusted face, Yeah, she was one of the
bitches that turned me down. What about her? I replied back to him, Well she recently
went missing, do you know what might have happened to her? Christian raised an
eyebrow and smiled, Serves her right, just like the others. Look, I know that was rude
but I havent seen her. I thought about what he said and asked, What do you mean by,
Just like the others? He replied back, Well the other bitches who turned me down
who ended up missing. I looked at him, Is that so I think thats enough for today,
thank you for your time. I walked out of the store while Greg laid in the passenger seat
asleep. Greg wake up! I think I might have a clue on what happened to Abigail. Ill tell
you at the station.
We arrived shortly to the Police Station and I headed back to my desk. I began
placing phone calls about Christian and asked those who knew about him if he had
been acting strange or differently lately. Some of his peers said that he seemed fine and
nothing wrong with him while others kept talking about a hitlist that he had in his
notebook. It was getting late and I had to go home soon. I took some of the leftover
doughnuts from the station and drove home. I ate a doughnut while driving home.
Gross! I hate jelly doughnuts. What kind of jelly does this guy use? Whatever it doesnt
matter, Its not like Im going to eat them anyways. I dont know what the baker used in
the doughnuts, but they were a bit chewy. He had a special baking style, I liked it. I
finally arrived home and went straight to my bed. I fell onto my bed and let out a big
sigh.
I woke up the next morning with a stomach ache. I called the Police Station and
told them that I might be late due to the stomach ache. I asked if anyone else felt sick,
but no one seemed to be. Perhaps I had an allergic reaction to the doughnut from last
night. I made a request to see if the forensics team could create a document of the
contents one of the doughnuts had, to see if any of the ingredients had anything I could
have been allergic to.
[Enter paragraph about chemistry analysis because I have no clue how to
write about that]
After hours of vomiting, I received a phone call from the Police station. Henry, I
think you should come take a look at this. Youre going to be shocked by what these
doughnuts have inside of them. I felt too sick to go to the Police station, Can you just
send me a fax of the document instead, I answered weakly. He agreed and ended the
call. I waited a couple of minutes and my fax machine began to whir. I walked towards
the fax machine and grabbed the document from it. Oh god! What the hell?! All the
doughnuts contained Abigails DNA! I vomit some more after reading the document. I
called the Police station and ordered them to get a warrant to search the bakery. I

wanted to help with the investigation so I took some medicine in the hopes of feeling
better.
The next day, I woke up feeling much better. I was ready to help the officers at
the station. We arrived at the bakery to find a closed sign on the door, which didn't stop
us from entering. Connor had earphones on humming horribly while mopping the floors.
I spotted Christian cleaning the countertops with earphones on as well. I had suspected
something odd about Christian earlier. Besides, his peers had mentioned something
about a hitlist in his notebook, which Abigail was rumored to be on.
We walked up to Christian and asked if we could speak to him privately. There
were no customers at the shop, but having Connor within 10 feet sickened me. Christian
led us behind the kitchen and next to the storage room.
"Sorry, there isn't anywhere more private, this is as far as Jim let's us go."
Christian said and shrugged his shoulders. I gave him a confused look, "Do you have
any stools or something we could sit on? We're going to ask you a few questions."
Christian nodded and pulled out keys from his apron and unlocked the storage room,
tugging on the knob of the door. He managed to finally open it, turning on the storage
room's light. "What the hell?!" He jerked back stumbling on the door. Greg and I
immediately stepped in front of him to take a look at what had startled Christian. There
was a bucket of blood and bloody footprints on the ground. I took out my phone and
dialed the police station. [math, footprints, takes blood sample for scene 5] Christian
looked alarmed. I took a blood sample from the bucket of blood and tucked it in my
pocket. The rest of our team entered the bakery and began to inspect the shop.
I heard a door slam from underneath me. "Christian, is there a basement around
here?" I asked him. Christian took a large breath, "Not, not that I know of." We looked
around for any doors or stairs that could possibly lead to a basement. There was a door
between the bathrooms that read Employees Only. Christian said he had never been in
there before. Jim had told them it was a room full of old furniture. I tried searching for a
key around the bakery, but gave up eventually and headed back to the station. I started
seeing a pattern I dont think these girls were just kidnapped, I think they were
murdered. Why did this happen? What is the reason to these murders or kidnappings
going on?! If only I had the memories of the murderer...
Two months ago As I was closing up the shop, my wife rang my phone. Hey!
You- you asswipe! Ive got an important thing to- Nancy hiccupped, To tell you. I didnt
seem a bit worried, she has always been a drunk. I responded politely, Honey, just tell
me when I arrive home. I just closed up. It didnt seem like she cared about what I just
told her and abruptly told me while she giggled, Well, the doctor called and said I was
in need of a new liver. But since were dirt poor, we cant afford one so I might die soon.
My hand trembled as I stood in fear and sadness, Wha- what are we going to do? I
cant watch you die and it will take too long to earn the amount of money to pay for your
liver. She giggled then burped, I guess I might die. Nancy immediately hung up
afterwards. I slowly fell to the ground as tears started to leave the corner of my eye.

One of the girls that Christian got turned down by had the same blood type as my
wife. There was only one option, it was to kidnap her. I went up to her and chloroformed
her to sleep. I took her to the basement of my bakery. I watched her sleeping body as I
lay her down on my table. She seemed so calm, as if she didnt know what was about to
happen. Im sorry, but I cant bear watching Nancy die. I walked towards my toolbox
and took out a large knife. I held the knife over her neck, my heart was pumping while
my hand trembled. I stared at her neck for a few moments then SLASH! Her eyes
became in shock just before dying. I tried to think about what I had just done. I didnt
feel regret nor did I feel a sickness in my stomach. I felt I felt joy and pleasure.
Two months after the first murder...We were ready, we had the hard evidence to
put the man in jail. I grabbed my coat and proceeded to the door. Greg, come with us,
well need you on the scene. We rushed into the car and drove back to the bakery. We
arrived and rushed into the bakery. Put your hands in the air! You are under arrest for
the murders and kidnappings of the the 9 past victims. You have the right to remain
silent; anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the
right to speak to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for
you. Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you? Jim responded
with a confused look, I dont understand I didnt murder any of these people. I furiously
told him, Cut the crap! We have evidence of your murders and kidnappings. He was
handcuffed and led towards the Police Vehicle. He was silent for a while until he
randomly blurted out, You dont understand! I had to do it to save my wife! I needed the
liver to keep my wife from dying. I scoffed, Records say that at about the time of the
first murder, she was healed. I dont think that after the first victim, you did it for helping
your wife. It was for your own self pleasure. Jim grinned evilly, Whoops, I guess you
figured me out.

NEXT MORNING
All Detective at the lab, Henry walks in.
The detectives had the forensic team create a document to find out what was
inside the donuts. After looking through the documents they found Abigails and

two other Victims DNA, the detectives then began doing test on the blood
samples and had three suspects in mind.
Henry: Does anyone else feel horrible?
Nikki: We all do. We think it might have something to do with the donuts, so we had the
forensics team create a document to see what the donuts had in them.
Greg: Take a look youre going to be shocked.
(Greg hands Henry the document.)
Henry: What the hell?! Abigails DNA?
Eric: Not only Abigails, but two of the other victims DNA as well.
Greg: Hey, the bakerys name is Jims Surprising Treats
Nikki: Well we have 4 suspects, Connor, Jim, and Christian ( and audiences names).
We also need to analyze all the measurement we got yesterday on the blood splatter.
Eric: What did we get from that?
Henry: We can calculated the number of stabs, point of origin, and angle. The diameter
seems to be 1-3 mm long
Greg: Now we need to estimate the height of our killer.
Eric: How do we do this?
Greg: Dont we have the length of the killers footprint?
Eric: Yes we do, its 1 foot long! (hands greg the footprint)
Nikki: So we need to take the average length of our suspects feet and and put it over
their average height.
(Takes out notebook and writes up proportions 12/X inches and the average shoe
length/average height in inches)
Henry: Yeah, but we need to get the heights of all the workers to match it to our
estimate. I do have my eye on Christian, I had made some calls and found that
apparently his classmates know about some hitlist he had. I only got 4 names and most
of our victims were on it including Abigail.

Greg: We should go talk to him

Henry: Did you guys get a search warrant yet?
Greg: This Morning.
Henry: Then, what are we still doing here?
End of Scene 4

Scene 5: Jim makes a kill. Abigails mouth is covered.

Jim kidnapped Abigail and killed 8 other girls to find out their blood types and
that they weren't AB. Jim ends up killing Abigail and is trying to think what hes
going to do with the bodies because he doesn't want to get arrested to keep
helping his alcoholic wife Nancy. Christian had mentioned to Jim that there
needed to be more jelly donut and would be cool to have meat donuts so he calls
Nancy and he got a liver.
Jim: I usually kidnap and kill for fun, but this time its different.
(Jim has an evil grin. Jim pricks Abigails finger and drops the blood into the test card.)
(Abigail whimpers) (Setup Blood Typing Demo)
Abigail: Ouch!
Jim: So, whens your birthday?
Abigail: Please just let me go!
Jim: Well mines in November.
(Jim checks his desk)
Jim: Ah! AB negative. Im sorry, but I cant bear watching my wife die.
(Jim grabs Abigails neck and pushes her against the table. Abigail breaks out of
restraints and kicks Jim in the nuts. Jim lunges at Abigail and puts one hand around her
mouth and the other puts the knife against her throat. Jim walks Abigail back over to the
table and lays her down tying her wrists and ankles.)
Jim: I was going to make this quick, but know its going to hurt a lot
(Jim rips her shirt open and cuts the skin around her liver. He slowly cuts into her and
cuts the liver out. Jim then stabs her until she bleeds out and dies.)

Jim: What am I going to do with the bodies? Christian did say we need more jelly and
said it would be cool to have meat filled donuts.
(Jim calls Nancy.)
Jim: Great news, I got you a liver sweetie.
(End of Scene 5.)

Scene 6: Detectives go into bakery.

They are taking measurements to analyze to match them to the footprint. They
eventually find a match between Jim and Connors feet. They catch Jim and arrest
him for his crimes.
Henry: I need you guys to get their foot measurements to match them to the footprint.
(Detectives close together whispering and nodding in agreement.)
Greg: Hey Jim, how are you doing today?
(Walking towards Jim to shake hand, and Eric pulls out his badge)
Jim: Better than ever, and you?
(Smiling and shaking hands with Greg)
Greg: Great, yeah thanks, nice shoes. Can I take a look?
Jim: Yeah, sure theyre new!
(Jims Creepy smile, while Greg gets ready to take measurements.)
Henry: Hows the business going?
(Greg takes measurements of Jims foot.)
Jim: Good, Im finally making money.
Henry: Yeah, uh were going to speak to Christian.
Eric: Hey Christian, were going to have to take measurements of your foot okay.
Nikki: Ill handle Connor.
(Connor is sweeping the floors.)
Nikki: Oh, you missed this.
(Nikki takes Connors measurements.)

Greg: Jims and Connors are the closest, but Jims match the footprint. I just dont
understand, he seems like a wonderful guy!
(Detectives look over at Jim, Jim is smiling back creepily.)
Henry: Yeah sure, we should probably wait for what the department has for us.
Nikki: The Station is calling me... It was Jim.
Greg: What?
Nikki: The blood we took from the bucket in the back belongs to Abigail and the other 9
victims. The department found Jims DNA in the blood. The police is on their way here.
Henry: Put your hands in the air! You are under arrest for the murders and kidnappings
of the the past 9 victims. You have the right to remain silent; anything you say can and
will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to have an attorney. If you
cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights
as they have been read to you?
(Henry walks towards Jim.)
Jim: This doesnt make any sense, I didnt murder any of these people.
Greg: Cut the crap! We have evidence of your murders and kidnappings.
(Police handcuffs Jim.)
Jim: (Shouts in desperation.) You dont understand! I had to do it to save my wife! I
needed the liver to keep my wife from dying!
Eric: Records say that you started killing people before you knew your wife was sick. I
dont think it started out as you wanting to help her.
Jim: I mean I was just trying to help.
(Jim gives an evil smile.)
(End of scene 6)

Document #6: The Writing Process

Description: The process for our writing has changed quite a bit. When we
first created the group writes, they were unorganized and messy. With the first
group write, they did not make any sense at all but had lots of creativity. The

first group write consisted of a random story and then passing it on to

another student to add to the story. The second group write made more sense
but had less creativity. In the second group write, it was more organized
because we were able to come up with a plot beforehand and then we gave it
to other students to write it. The third group write worked best because it
made a lot of sense and had a bit more creativity than the second group write.
It made more sense because only one person wrote the story. During the
storyboard senate process, we came up with a final story that we would all
agree on. It was very organized with lots of creativity that had a basic grasp
on the characters and story. Finally, with the script committee, we finalized the
characters and story with detail.
