Patrick: “Why do you watch that stuff anymore Jessica?”

Jessica: “Because I can Patrick. Besides we are leaving anyways aren’t we?”

Patrick: “Yeah, I just hope these stop occurring.”

Jessica: “Me too, I hope they catch him.”

*Ding*

Jessica: “Someone’s at the door Patrick.”

Patrick: “I know, I’ll get it.”

Patrick: “Who is it?”

Man at the door: “Hey man, it’s Jerry, can I come in?”

Patrick: “Yeah, give me a minute.”

Patrick opens the door

Jerry: “You hear about that girl? It’s pretty messed up. And she was missing for a while too. I heard that her parents have up looking for her and assumed she was dead within hours of looking for her.”

Patrick: “Yeah I agree, well did you want something?”

Jerry: “Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me. The festival is tonight are you two going to be there?”

Patrick: “Yeah why not, we are only going to be here another day or so.”

Jerry: “Well I guess I’ll see you two then, I’ve got to get back home before it gets dark. That woman always has a time for everything. And I have to get ready for the festival.”

Patrick: “Well get going or you will be late.”

Jessica: “Well I’m ready for the festival tonight.”

She walks down the stairs in a red dress with her black hair in a ponytail. Patrick was wearing a black tuxedo, like the guys had to wear. His gold hair was slicked back.
