An old building, the kind hobos like to squat in. It resembles a horror film. The area is restricted by police tape, not the normal kind, it’s a hologram.
EXT. An abandoned building - Police investigation - NIGHT
A man in a trench coat with a police badge hanging from the bottom of it, it says MAN, CA 3112. You’d peg him for 40 if you didn’t know better. He’s walking towards the bright Police tape; it’s a hologram; the area is mostly lit by tape. MAN Am I the only officer available in town? CHIEF OFFICER This case concerns you MAN What do you mean?
INT. The inside of the abandoned building – NIGHT
Bewildered by the Chief's words, MAN scouts the building, He is somehow able to see in the dark without flashlights, He had cybernetic upgrades. He notices a MASKED MAN fleeing. MAN HEY YOU! He chases the masked figure down a flight of stairs, the masked figure enters a room, the masked figure is gone but he sees a familiar face laying in the ground, it’s his best friend with a huge cut open in his stomach. Zoom into multiple parts of the corpse, fast-paced. MAN AAAAAAAAAAA FADE IN: EXT. An abandoned building – NIGHT - 3AM The same old building, Man is distressed and confused. MAN Huh? INSPECTOR Detective, are you ok? MAN W-where am I, what time is it? INSPECTOR It’s 3am, you were dispatched to investigate a murder MAN rushes to the building, leaps through the flight of stairs and breaks through the door to find his friend tied to a chair, he turns his eyes to the masked figure with a knife in his hands. MAN The hell...? Air HISSES in the unfastening of the figure’s mask, an illogical sight befalls MAN, it’s as if he was staring at the mirror, it was him... MAN Me...? As MAN is distracted, the Figure catches Man by surprise and stabs him in the chest. MAN Why...? *cough* this doesn’t make sense... From the corner of MAN’s eyes, he sees the figure murder his friend.
