Boyfriend Killer

BOYFRIEND KILLER

Hey, Rick, hi.

Hi, Sandra,

how are you?

Good, good, thank you for

meeting me out here.

Please tell me what's going

on with the permits.

Well, the

structural calculations

have been rejected by

the building department,

and,

we've submitted new ones,

-Okay.

-And we're just waiting for their response.

Okay. How long

do you think it'll be?

With any luck, maybe a week.

I think at that point

we can start moving

and pour concrete and doing all

the things that we need to do

to get this job

moving again.

I'm sorry, this is

my assistant.

I have to take this call.

Give me a second.

Devin, what's going on?

I need you to come back

to the office.

Why?

I'll tell you when you get here.

Just come back.

But I'm in the middle

of something.

I'm at the

Hancock Road property.

Just tell me

why you called?

There's a police officer

here in the office.

What does he want?

Devin.

I believe... there's been

some sort of accident.

With Preston.

Put him on the phone.

Miss Cruz,

this is Officer Ortega.

There's been an accident

with your son.

Please meet me

at county hospital.

I'll be right there.

All right. Thank you. Thanks.

Okay...

It's okay.

They said to take

as much time as you want.

Just do it, please.

Sis, please.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Please.

Let me have it.

-No. No, baby.

-Let me have it.

No. Okay?

So, I pull my bike up in

front of the door as usual,

and this cop comes up and

he starts writing me a ticket,

and I said, "What about

the other 20 motorcycles

"out on the sidewalk?"

"What makes me so special?"

Hey, Charles,

your phone.

Give me another soda.

Sandra.

Hey. What a surprise.

I have bad news.

Really bad.

What is it?

What's goin' on, Sandy,

are you okay?

Is Preston okay?

Hi, Charles, it's Carrie.

Sorry, Sandra's

having a hard time.

Tell me what's goin' on.

Preston was killed.

Early this morning

in a motorcycle accident.

The police say that

he was going pretty fast,

and... and lost control.

I'm gonna stay here

tonight,

but I think it would be good

if you came.

You two will have to

start making arrangements.

Charles.

I'm gonna...

I'm gonna get the first flight

out in the morning, okay?

Okay.

See you soon.

Charles.

What?

I'm really sorry.

Yeah.

Hey,

you've reached Preston.

Leave your name and number

and I'll call you back.

Preston, it's me.

I'm really worried

about you.

I've been calling

and calling you,

and you're not answering

your phone,

which isn't like you at all.

Please call me back.

Love you.

It's awful, so I kept

calling and calling,

and then he just

never showed up,

and, I don't know,

I think that if I... I...

Thank you, Anna.

Anyway, so finally I

left because, I mean,

what else was I

supposed to do.

-I mean, he wouldn't answer my...

-You don't need that.

I noticed you put on

a little weight.

I do hope Preston's okay.

You hear so many frightening

stories about people...

getting carjacked...

and mugged.

Mommy, that doesn't happen

as often as you think.

It's just because you stay home

and watch the news all day.

Now that Preston's

out of the picture,

maybe you could

call Jack.

What do you mean,

out of the picture?

Sounds like he wants

nothing to do with you.

Preston loves me,

and I love him.

It's just very unlike him.

That's all, Daddy.

So please stop

bringing up Jack. Okay?

-Honey. Honey.

-Let me call Jack and see if he'll,

give you a second chance.

You know, he's not taking a

date to the awards dinner.

It's two weeks away.

Give you a little time

to lose a few pounds.

Well, not to move this conversation

abruptly to my current boyfriend,

but I'm gonna go call

some of his friends,

and see if they know

where he is.

I really do hope

he's okay.

Mommy, Preston's dead.

He died in a

motorcycle accident.

His mom just posted it

on her page.

Honey,

I'm so sorry.

Mom.

I'm... I'm so sorry,

I didn't meant to scare you.

I just... I...

I didn't know

who it was.

Krystal, what are you

doing here?

Have you heard

about Preston?

Yeah, I did,

I saw your post.

I am so sorry.

-Thank you.

-It's just awful.

I mean, I tried to

call him so many times

over and over again,

and... and he didn't answer,

which is totally

unlike him, of course,

and I just thought,

you know,

I thought maybe...

I don't know, I thought maybe

he just didn't have his phone,

or... something.

Yeah.

Do you have it?

Actually, it got destroyed

in the accident,

which is why he didn't get

any of his calls.

Of course, yeah.

Right.

I'm sorry. Krystal,

this is my sister, Carrie.

-Hi. Sorry.

-It's all right.

Carrie, this is Krystal,

Preston's ex girlfriend.

What?

You said ex.

No, we were together.

Preston and I were still...

We were very much

together.

In fact, I...

I live here.

Actually.

-You do?

-Yeah.

-I do.

-Since when?

Only about a...

A week ago.

We had been going

back and forth so much,

and Preston suggested

that I just move in,

you know, 'cause it...

Well, it just made sense.

So strange that Preston

never mentioned that to me.

Well, probably just because

it's so new, I guess.

Yeah.

Can I get you some coffee

or, I don't know, tea?

Sure.

Tea, please.

-Tea.

-Thank you.

Yeah, thank you,

same here.

Okay. Sure.

Right.

Well, obviously,

I don't drink much tea.

And you know what

the craziest thing is?

I just feel like

he's gonna...

Just walk right in that

door at any minute.

I know.

I feel

the same way.

I know you're gonna be

making arrangements, and...

if I can help at all,

I would...

I'd really like

to be involved.

His father

arrives tonight,

and I think

that's something that

he and I are

gonna do together.

Yeah.

Okay. Sure.

Maybe you can help us

pack up his things here.

You know, with only

two weeks left in the month,

it's...

It's gonna be hectic.

-Yeah.

-Of course, yeah, of course I can.

Absolutely.

And you don't mind if I

continue to stay here

until, you give

the keys back, right?

-Here?

-Well, yeah,

just until I have time

to make other arrangements.

Isn't that gonna be

too difficult for you?

I actually think it would be easier

for me to stay here, you know?

And just have...

Just have time to,

I don't know,

process everything,

and just sort of...

I don't know,

let go.

-Sure.

-Thanks.

I really do appreciate

you understanding, Miss Cruz.

Okay, well, I think

it's time for us

to start taking things

to the car.

I'll get you

one of his suitcases

downstairs from

the storage unit.

I'll be right back.

Wait, sis. Take a

picture of the cables,

so we know how to

hook it back up.

Yeah.

-Thank you.

-Hey!

What...

What are you doing?

Taking his computer. There

are some photos and things

Sandra would like to keep.

Well, we share that computer.

I have stuff on there, too.

So, you can't...

You can't take that.

Why don't you just

transfer what's yours

onto another drive?

Well, I could do that,

I just don't...
