You know what they always say in the town. The most classical of lines. "When it rains, it's because God is probably crying because of all the sins we have committed on this holy Earth....or probably it's raining because somebody just died"
That's the classical line when it starts to rain.
A raindrop falls from the sky, and lands on the ground. Then, another one, lands on a house's roof. Then, another one. Then, another one. Then, another one. The rain strongly pours on the ground. With some thunder and light storm with it. The rain hits hard on wherever it falls into, it hits hard like rocks.
THE RAIN
is strongly pouring on us, and on the dark night. Lightning is emerged. The sky shines briefly in white as thunder sounds are strongly emitted. We slowly go down and see we're on a deserted FOREST ROAD.
The DREADFUL, MOANING, HOWLING WIND is now BLOWING.
Then, HAZY, BLURRY GLOWS of RED AND BLUE are being illuminated on the BACKGROUND, far from us. It's A COP CAR. It races through the rainy night with all speed. The siren sounds out loud. The COP CAR -- RACES on THE DESERTED FOREST ROAD.
As we follow the COP CAR, the RAIN FLIES TO US WITH SUCH FURY AND SPEED, as the COP CAR expels water and dirt on its path.
INSIDE THE COP CAR, we can totally tell that the car is driving through a dark, rainy, stormy, hellish night. Probably hell's doors were open without announcing the people that they would open.
Rain strongly pours and falls to the windshield. HEAVY BREATHING is heard. THE DRIVER, who drives with a hell of a speed, BREATHS HARD AND OUT LOUD. The RADIO starts to beep. Interference is emitted. Voices are heard on the radio.
"Andres!" said a male voice on the radio "Andres -- Where are you? Tell me you're getting closer!"
The DRIVER, ANDRES, 48 years old, looking like most plainclothes policemen of the 80s, grabs THE RADIO WALKIE and starts to talk.
"I'm right here Luis! Is the ambulance there?" asked Andres, who seems anxious at the moment. Something is happening. Could be something bad, but as we dive deep into Andres's looks, we can tell that something extremely serious is happening.
"They already arrived. The others are on their way. Where are you?"
"I don't -- I don't know. I'm in the middle of fucking nowhere!"
"Please hurry up!"
Then, he sees some cars' floodlights on a crime scene, on a water quarry. It seems like he's getting closer to wherever he's going. It seems that he's getting closer to the crime scene. To the serious scene.
"Hold on! I think i found you! I'm close to the scene! I'm approaching!"
ANDRES arrives. THE COP CAR arrives to A CRIME SCENE on a QUARRY.
Andres pulls over the car next to an ambulance. A group of people are outside. Something's happening.
"Jesus Christ"
He RUSHES OUT of the car, into the water quarry, to the other policemen.
ANDRES rushes out of the COP CAR, and runs to THE QUARRY with the OTHER COP, his sidekick and partner: LUIS, 38 years old.
ANDRES runs front, then stops and pants. He gets shocked. The lights flash on the scene. Andres walks around as he sees --
-- TORN BODY PARTS! TORN LEGS, TORN ARMS, A TORN TORSO, A DISMEMBERED CORPSE, A FACE RIPPED IN HALF, ETC! Turns out these parts used to belong to various teenagers.
"Jesus, Mary and Joseph..." said a shocked Andres, whose eyes couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Then he turns. He sees another being on the water. An older being.
"Is that...? Oh, God. Is he alive? Please tell me he's alive"
UNDERWATER.
The lights flash on a blurry way. Then, A HAND -- floats on us. A LIFE-LESS HAND of a TEENAGER.
Then, A BODY -- OF A TEENAGER floats on us. A LIFE-LESS TEENAGER! Like 18 years-old.
Then, THE BODY is being dragged to the surface by a couple of people. It's being PULLED OUT OF THE WATER.
ON THE SURFACE.
The BODY of the TEENAGER is being put on a small boat as TWO PEOPLE start taking the boat to the edge.
Andres and Luis are devastated, shocked, horrified by just looking at this event.
"What do you think it happened, Andy? Suicidal depression?" asked Luis, who had no answer whatsoever to his question.
The crime scene cleanup was simple:
Some guys cleaned up the dismembered bodies and put them on this black plastic bags, the body of the teenager on the water was also put on a black plastic bag and put on an ambulance, the police started to leave the scene, one by one, etc.
Andres left with Luis, who was driven to the scene by another friendly cop.
They managed to arrive at the hospital. They got inside the morgue, where they couldn't stop seeing...
...JUANA, the mother of the dead teenager, looking at his son's body. She's devastated.
THE BODY of the TEENAGER is being covered by a white blanket.
JUANA watches devastated, horrified, traumatized, saddened and heartbroken. She then decides (and proceeds) to cry. She cries strongly. Like a hurt mama wolf who just lost her baby cub at a very early age.
Andres decides to comfort her. As he does, she strongly hugs him. He gets surprised as he keeps comforting the poor mother.
"I'm really sorry" said Andres to Juana.
Moments later, the hug just broke and the woman just went home, maybe to cry a little bit more in peace. Andres and Luis walked off the morgue, and decided to take this opportunity to have a coffee break.
On a hospital hallway, ANDRES and LUIS walk to a coffee spot. They start ordering coffees in plastic glasses.
"What a night" said Luis, as he sighed.
"So, who was the kid? Any investigation on his name?" asked Andres.
"From what I remember, the kid was Sebastian Santana. 18 years old. Probably the tallest of his class"
"Any investigation on his case?" asked Andres, again.
"On the quarry case or on the "how the fuck did he got in the quarry in the first place" case?" asked Luis
"I don't know. On both fucking cases, I guess".
"Well, you might get surprised that the boy had a bite mark on his neck"
"A bite mark?" asked Andres.
"Yeah. A wild one. Like, he was bitten all over his neck. It's like if someone ripped that part off him"
"How bad was this bite? How terrible it was?"
"It was like two red points on his neck. And call me crazy, if you want, but i think it was a vampire bite. It looked like it"
Andres doesn't know what to say. He doesn't want to make fun of Luis. He doesn't even have the intention to do it.
"So maybe, someone bite him and then what, threw him into the quarry?? I mean you know what they say. Smaller the town is, bigger the problems are, right?"
As Luis was finishing talking, Andres takes out a box of cigarettes out of his pocket.
"Christ, I can't imagine what's worse. Either it could be the town or the goddamn problems"
"Maybe both" answered Luis
Andres pulls a cigar from his pocket. He's about to light it. A Nurse notices, alarmed, disrupted.
"Excuse me? Sir?"
Andres manages to notice her. So does Luis.
"Yes, Ma'am?" asked Andres.
"You can't smoke in here"
Andres suddenly realizes what he was doing, and what he was about to do.
"I -- I see. Well -- Jesus -- I'm sorry, i just had a long stressful night and I -- I need some air. I need some fresh air"
He is now talking to Luis. The Nurse walks out of the scene.
"I'll wait for you outside if you want to talk"
"Yeah. Sure. That's a good idea.
ANDRES walks out. After a minute of him walking out on the hospital, he finally manages to exit the hospital on the gigantic main door.
ANDRES exits the hospital. It stopped raining like a while ago.
ANDRES stops and lights a cigar. He smokes, the smoke is slowly expelled from his mouth.
Then, he looks at the sky, at the dark night sky.
It's a dark night indeed.
