LIFE'S AN ILLUSION: MAD - Make A Difference II.

...LIGHTS RESUMES......

...LAST NIGHT AT ST. RUFUS HOSPITAL, JACOB'S OFFICE...

DR. JACOB: I don't understand, you just said she was alive. So, what gives?

PROF. HEATHER: I know, sir. It creeps me too. During her surgery, we we're losing her, until she suddenly came back

DR. JACOB: How?

PROF. HEATHER: I have no idea. But before that coincidence, I saw a wave

DR. JACOB: A wave, you say

PROF. HEATHER: Affirmative, a thin one with a real smelly look and disgust.

DR. JACOB: Wait, you saw the look of the wave?

PROF. HEATHER: Surprisingly...

DR. JACOB: Wow! Okay, go on, I'm listening (with doubt)

PROF. HEATHER: There were two of them, actually. One, with a real smelly look with green as it's complexion and the other looked like ice shaped like a stone. They all entered the woman's body and then she came back. I don't just get what's been happening to me, these past few days, sir. Am I hallucinating or what? (realizes the look on Jacob's face) You don't believe me now, do you?

DR. JACOB: I'm not buying it

PROF. HEATHER: Sir, please just hear me out...

DR. JACOB: Heather, the door's right there (points the door as a sign of leave)

PROF. HEATHER: But, sir...

DR. JACOB: Heather, please leave. As you can see, I'm busy, and I was busy when you came in. I believe I can't spare my time just to listen to rubbish. The door's still over there (faces his work and ignores Heather like she wasn't even there)

PROF. HEATHER: (Stands and leaves the office disappointedly)

...OUTSIDE JACOB'S OFFICE. THE PROFESSOR'S LOUNGE...

HEATHER: (Packs her belongings out of anger and leaves, abandoning her night shift)

PROF. SALMON: Hey, where're you going? Do I have to remind you you're on night shift?! (******rudely, but****** no reply) That little... you know what, never mind

...PRESENT......

DR. JACOB: You know, now that I think of it. I just decide to forget about it (laughs) Oh! Heather, such a drama queen (continues his laughter till he left)

...AT JOHN'S... AFTER GIDEON LEFT...

JOHN: What's with him?

ALEX: Uh! Gideon? You wouldn't actually mind him. He's in a state of frustration which makes his mental health poor and poorer by the day. But, all that matters is that my husband is safe and sound and with me also. Go freshen up so we can have dinner together.

JOHN: But, shouldn't we check on Gideon? I think he left quite angry

ALEX: Oh, Gideon's fine. He knows how to take care of himself. Now, can you freshen up? I'm kinda starving

JOHN: Right... (leaves to go change)

...NIGHT AT CALVARY STREETS...

...GIDEON WAS THE ONLY SOUL FOUND OUTSIDE...

GIDEON: How is this possible? Or am I just seeing things?

SUDDENLY, A VOICE CALLED HIS NAME...

???: Gideon!

GIDEON: (Screams) Ah! (cause he never expected someone to call his name and even that loud. Suddenly, he falls to the ground out of fear and immediately starts running when he gets swallowed by thin air)

...A NEW SCENE......

...GIDEON'S ROOM...

GIDEON: (Wakes up forcefully and screams) Ah! (pants and swallows spit out of fear) What? It was just a dream. But... How? (voice fades as he turns to Miranda, his wife. But, she was still asleep. Sighs as he leaves the bed)

MIRANDA: (Eyes open all of sudden as it turns red and her voice deepens and sounds like the one in Gideon's dream) Oh, it wasn't just a dream, Giddy. I'm coming for ya...

...THE NEXT DAY......

...CALVARY CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT - CCPD....

CAPTAIN ORTEGA: What'd you mean? This can't serve as evidence. You just brought me her IT. Certificate. Now, you have to return it. Take the other detectives you took with you last time. At least, they're witnesses of your nonsense

...HEATHER'S APARTMENT......

OFFICER BINGO: It's your fault we're back here. Well, did you know I had this phobia and disgust for dead bodies? Anyone ever told you that? (becomes annoying)

DETECTIVE JONAS: (Ignores by sighing) There, right where we found it (drops the Certificate)

DETECTIVE WAYNE: (Calls from where he was) Hey, guys come check this out?

JONAS AND BINGO STROLLED DOWN TO WAYNE'S LOCATION... HEATHER'S LIVING ROOM, WHERE SHE DIED

DETECTIVE JONAS: You called? (rudely)

DETECTIVE WAYNE: Yeah, I did. Did you guys pack up th-the, the thing that was here yesterday? (being irritated)

OFFICER BINGO: What thing? (realises John's addresses) Oh! You mean the dead body? I equally have no business with it

DETECTIVE WAYNE: What about you? (turns to Jonas)

DETECTIVE JONAS: I don't know, didn't we get it packed yesterday to be taken to the mortuary?

DETECTIVE WAYNE: How should I know?

DETECTIVE JONAS: (Attacks him) Yeah, how should you know?! Yesterday you just walked out with your pity anger. And then you were just all like (mimics Wayne) You guys should deal with it yourself and then boom! You were gone. So, how should you know, Wayne?! How should you know?!!

DETECTIVE WAYNE: (Turns to Bingo, with that look of true of false)

OFFICER BINGO: Yeah, it's true. (faces changes suddenly to a smiling one) But, bro you definitely sounded like him. Good job on mimicking

DETECTIVE JONAS: Thanks for the compliment. Now, can we get going?

DETECTIVE WAYNE: But, we still haven't solved the case of this dead body. I mean, it can't just grow wings to fly away or maybe come back to life and just walk away

DETECTIVE JONAS: That doesn't matter now, maybe when we get back to CCPD, we can sort things out. This place reeks...

THE THREE POLICEMEN LEFT AND IMMEDIATELY JACOB CAME IN

JACOB: (Screams) Heather?! Heather?!! Where could she have gone? (looks at the newspaper he held and back forward) Damn it!
