Anna's Capture

by Mistydawn


The author has placed a warning on this post for violence.

TANGLEWOOD DRIVE SUMMIT NEW JERSEY - DAY.
Anna and Mike are downstairs of the two-story light blue Victorian home. Mike just threatened to arrest her for murder. Frightened, Anna runs for the door. Grabbing his taser, Mike pulls the trigger. Anna seizes to the floor.

MIKE
(Laughing)
You didn't get too far, now did you?

He walks towards her.

ANNA
Leave me alone.

She tries kicking him, he dodges out of the way.

MIKE
Do you want this again?

ANNA
No.

MIKE
Then you better behave.

Carefully taking the lipstick container out of her hand, Mike inspects it.

MIKE
This is a nice little weapon you have here.

Reaching down he pulls off her wig.

MIKE
Nice disguise too.

ANNA
Give that back.

He tosses it on his head.

MIKE
I bet you're wearing a mask too, right?

ANNA
Leave it alone.

Anna slaps his hand.
Jerking the cover off her face, Mike puts it on.

MIKE
You've got a pretty good thing going with this getup, don't you?

ANNA
I .... I guess so.

Anna carefully reaches into her pocket.

MIKE
The cops are completely baffled with the old lady disguise. Using poisonous darts to kill those women is ingenious. Let me see now there's Mrs. Mongomery, Hanna Freeman, Mrs. Lowery, Summer Matthews, Barry Jones and Jackie King.

Mike scratches his head.

MIKE
I think that's all of them, right?

Anna nods.

MIKE
Why are you do it for anyway, huh?

ANNA
I'm making sure all of my husband's tramps won't hurt others the way they've hurt me.

MIKE
(Smiling)
It feels good to get rid of all those sleazy women, doesn't it?

ANNA
I feel like I'm doing the world a service.

MIKE
(Grinning)
With them out of the way, married couples can stay faithful and STD's will be a thing of the past.

Anna nods again.

MIKE
Is that the reason you killed Brad because he was unfaithful?

Anna gets a terrified look on her face.

MIKE
(Chuckling)
I'm right, aren't I?

ANNA
How do you know Brad is, was my husband?

MIKE
I know a lot of things about you. I even know you're renting a place under the name of Trisha Morgan over on Oak Street and that you drive a green Escort New Jersey plates LXZ4312.

Anna's mouth drops open.

MIKE
(Smiling)
I'll keep all of this information to myself if you do me a huge favor?

Anna eyes him suspiciously.

ANNA
What's that?

MIKE
Take care of my wife and her lover the way you did the others.

ANNA
If I refuse?

MIKE
I'll tell my cop buddies everything I know.

Anna looks away.

MIKE
So, are you going to do me this huge solid, or do I turn you in? Just to let you know, I've recorded our entire confession.

He shows her his phone. Anna sighs.

MIKE
So you in or what?

ANNA
What choice do I have?

                                                                                                                                   CUT TO:

ANNA'S APARTMENT SUMMIT NEW JERSEY - DAY.
Jeff is standing on one side of the door, Kevin on the other.

JEFF
Ready?

Kevin nods.
Jeff pounds on the door.

JEFF
Summit PD, open up.

He waits a minute then pounds again.

JEFF
Summit PD, we're coming in.

He kicks the door, The barrier flies open. The two detectives run into the apartment. The word clear
sounds throughout as they check the rooms.
A few minutes later, the officers meet in the front room.


KEVIN
She's not home.

JEFF
Go ahead and start tossing the place, I'll call the Sergeant and tell her what's going on.

Taking the phone out of his pocket he dials the station.

JEFF
(Filtered)
Sergeant, this is Jeff, she isn't home. We are, I'll have uniforms canvas the neighborhood. Yes, Sergeant, you'll be the first to know.

KEVIN
What did she say?

JEFF
Search the apartment and talk to the neighbors, see if they can tell us anything.

KEVIN
I'll tell the unis.

He walks out the door. Jeff looks through the apartment.

                                                                                                                                   CUT TO:

INT. MIKE'S CAR ON WILLIAMS STREET SUMMIT NEW JERSEY - DAY.
Mike pulls into his driveway, Anna is anxiously sitting beside him.
Mike glances down the road. Angry, he slams his hand against the steering wheel.


MIKE
(Through gritted teeth.)
Just like I thought.

ANNA
What?

MIKE
She and that bastard are getting it on again.

He glances towards the black Ford parked a few houses down.

ANNA
I hate to tell you this, but he's not the only one your wife has been sleeping with.

MIKE
How do you know that?

ANNA
I've been watching her for weeks.

Seeing the inquisitive look on his face she continues.

ANNA
She's one of Brad's tramps too.

MIKE
How do I know you're not lying to me to get even or to make me mad.

ANNA
I have proof on my phone.

She pulls a phone out of her pocket. Clicking on the picture icon she hands it over.

MIKE
That looks like my wife's phone.

Anna snatches it back.

ANNA
I may be a lot of things, but I'm not a damn thief.

MIKE
I wasn't implying that you are.

She looks at him crossly.

Mike
What did you want to show me?

ANNA
Take a look at these.

She hands the phone back.
Mike scans the pictures. The more he sees the madder he becomes.

MIKE
Well, this is the last time any of those sons of bitches get a piece of my wife's ass.

Reaching over, he pulls his Glock out of the glove compartment then he grabs a box of shells.

ANNA
Use my dart gun instead, so you won't leave evidence behind.

Pulling it out of his pocket, Mike looks at her suspiciously.

MIKE
Why are you being so helpful to me all of a sudden?

ANNA
I want to take care of your wife and lover as bad as you do.

She holds up her phone. He sees a picture of Brad and Lisa walking into a motel room.

MIKE
I bet you have photos of half the men in the city on your phone.

ANNA
Women too. You're going to need these.

She hands him a box of poisonous darts. 

Mike
You've had these the whole time?

Anna
Yeah, but they're useless without the gun.

MIKE
Lucky for me.

Grabbing a handful, he stuffs them in his pocket.

MIKE
 Let's go.

Mike pushes her towards the porch, stopping at the front door.

MIKE
How do you work this thing, anyhow?

He carefully moves the device around in his hand.

ANNA
You take off the safety then push this black button on the back.

She points to each as she explains.

MIKE
Got it.

Opening the door the two step inside. They hear a lot of moaning as they slowly climb the stairs. They creep along the hallway, stopping at the first door. Mike peeks his head in the room. He sees lover boy on top, his wife tied to the bed. Grabbing handcuffs from his gear belt, he turns towards Anna.

MIKE
In case you're thinking about trying something foolish.

He secures her to the banister.

ANNA
Hey.

Mike
(Whispering)
It's either that or this?

He shows her the dart gun. Anna plops down on the floor.

Running into the room, Mike jumps on the lover's back. They collapse on top of Mike's wife. Lori screams hysterically.
Loverboy struggles to get up. Feeling his body shift, Mike wraps one arm around the guy's neck as he pushes the dart gun against him.

MIKE
This is for screwing my wife.

Mike pushes the button. Jerry collapses back on the bed. Standing up, Mike pushes Jerry off his wife.

MIKE
He won't be coming back for more.

Lori glances over at Jerry then at Mike.

LORI
What .... what did you do to him?

MIKE
The same thing I'm going to do to you.

LORI
(Begging)
No, please don't hurt me, please.

MIKE
How long have you been sleeping around, huh?

He slaps her face. Lori looks up at him, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Reaching up, he squeezes her boobs.

MIKE
Those high priced babies are for my enjoyment, not for every dick in town.

LORI
(Crying)
Stop, your hurting me.

MIKE
I'm going to do a hell of a lot more than that, you worthless tramp.

Raising up his hand, he slaps her again.

LORI
Please don't hurt me, Mike, I'm sorry, I'll never do it again.

MIKE
I've heard that before.

He starts punching her. Blood is splattering out of her nose and running down the side of her face.

LORI
(Tearfully begging)
Please, Mike, stop, for the sake of our baby.

He rubs her small baby bump, then he punches her in the stomach. She screams out in pain.

MIKE
I bet that bastard isn't even mine.

He punches her stomach again.

LORI
(Bawling)
Of course, it is.

MIKE
Liar.

He swings a right hook. Her head jerks sideways, everything becomes fuzzy, distant.

MIKE
I'm going to make sure you never cheat on me again.

Grabbing the lipstick, he holds it against her breast.

MIKE
Rot in hell, you wench.

He pushes the button.

ANNA
(OS)
Do you feel better, now?

Mike glances down at his wife.

MIKE
(Sorrowful)
She was a hot little mama, sure knew how to rock my world.

Rubbing his hardness, he walks towards Anna.

MIKE
I bet your body is just as hot as hers.

Smiling, he uncuffs her.

ANNA
Mine, no it's all fat and wrinkles.

She backs away.

MIKE
You definitely have more ass than she does.

He playfully squeezes her butt.

MIKE
Why don't you let me see what else you're hiding under the granny clothes?

ANNA
(Frightened)
Here?

Anna points to the two dead bodies in the other room.

MIKE
Yeah, here.

ANNA
But I.....

MIKE
Do it or else.

He shows her his phone.
