The Murder Pact Page #2

---

that she was meeting someone

up there last night

and wasn't alone,

someone who cornered her

against the railing.

Would that be a crime?

Well, depending on

all the circumstances, sure.

It could be

involuntary manslaughter.

Murder, you mean.

Uh, well, yeah.

Anybody who happened

to be there could have

legal action taken up

against them too, right?

If they don't immediately

tell anyone.

I'd assume giving drugs

to the victim beforehand

couldn't help the situation

either, right?

Lisa, do you know something

about what happened there

last night?

No.

If you do, you have the

responsibility to report it.

I was just curious.

Watch the hall.

Ow, get off.

What the hell

are you trying to pull?

Will, calm down.

No, not until she tells us

what she knows.

Oh, is that guilt I see

starting to settle in?

No, I have nothing

to feel guilty about.

Oh, please, you may as well

have just pushed her

off that ledge yourself.

- If...

- Heidi's dead.

You need to be held

accountable for that.

If I had anything

to do with her death,

you would be absolutely right.

You know what you did to her.

And you, you're just gonna

pretend that nothing happened?

Lisa, I saw it.

None of us did anything wrong.

The pictures I have

might suggest otherwise.

Oh, all right.

Well, let's get right

down to it.

How much do you want for them?

Your money can't buy you

out of everything.

What the hell was that?

She's gonna go to the cops.

I don't care what Netflix says.

I look terrible in orange.

Don't you have a benzo

or something you can slip her?

I wouldn't worry

about the wardrobe, princess.

With those legs you'll be

the most popular girl in lockup.

Oh, in that case,

you of all people

would be clamoring

to get caught.

She's not going to the police.

If she was, she would

have done it already.

Maybe if you

hadn't attacked her,

we could have found out

what she wanted.

Oh, that's great.

Now you're taking her side,

and, you know, hello to you too.

Hi.

I'm not taking sides.

She has pictures of all of us.

So she says; she could be

making that up for all we know.

Well, then, we have

to find out for sure.

If I just get her alone,

maybe I could reason with her.

I know exactly how to reason

with people like that, okay?

Everybody has their price.

We just got to figure out

what hers is.

Even if we did pay her off,

who's to say

she'll just go away?

Yeah, and if she ever

says anything to anyone,

our futures are gone.

Thanks, bud.

Hey, why don't you

shut the hell up?

I didn't do anything wrong.

Okay, stop.

Guys, we're not talking

about who's to blame.

We just have to figure out

a way

to get her out of our lives.

Why don't we just

kill her too,

add that to your body count?

That was a joke.

Okay, what if she was to...

disappear?

I mean, would anybody

actually miss her?

By lunchtime nobody was even

talking about Heidi anymore.

Stop.

I... I'm just weighing

all of our options.

Well, this isn't

the dark ages, Will.

You can't just kill someone

and get away with it.

People get caught

because people want the fame.

Yeah, you can learn a lot

from other people's mistakes.

What?

I don't want to go to jail.

Even if it was ruled

an accident,

we'd be forever connected to it.

Okay,

what if we just beat her to it?

What if we went to the cops and

just told them what happened?

Are you willing to take

that risk?

I'm sorry, Cam,

but as far as I'm concerned,

our options are limited.

Are you guys serious?

We're talking

about taking a life.

Giving us ours back in return.

Wow.

Well, you can count me out.

Hey, Cam, Cam,

we all left together that night.

How's that gonna

look to the cops?

Yeah, we wanted to tell

the cops, Camille,

but you wouldn't let us.

That is not what happened,

and you know it.

Let me just talk to her and see

what she even has on us, okay?

I'll get the pictures.

Okay, that's... go ahead,

but just remember, okay,

in the end we're gonna

do what's best for us.

That's a good picture.

What are you doing here?

Will you just calm down

so we can talk?

Why?

Will you just listen

to what I have to say?

I'm not like the others.

I don't care.

Get out.

I don't have the money

to buy me out of this.

Fine, I'll leave then.

I hope the cops think

they're good pictures too.

Babe?

We have to do something.

Hey, girl, hey,

and I really mean that.

I'm really glad

we ran into you.

I thought I told you that

I didn't want to talk to you.

Oh, come on.

Let's have a kiki,

just us girls.

I don't think so.

Sorry about how Will

treated you the other day.

Sit down.

You know how boys can be.

Sit down.

Emotionally abusive?

I was going

for slightly overzealous.

Oh, is this the part where

you guys offer me a makeover

in exchange for my silence?

Oh, God, no.

This isn't the '90s.

We think we've found a way

where we can all get

what we want.

I thought I already told you

that I can't be bought.

Are you sure about that?

See, I actually

think this is your way

of jacking up the price.

I mean, why else wouldn't you

have gone to the cops?

Exactly, and even if you did,

you don't know what happened

or what was said up there.

Yeah, I don't have to.

The pictures say enough.

Well, since you don't care

about the truth, you do realize

that you are just as guilty

for withholding information?

How are you gonna pay

for your tuition next semester?

I mean, your financial aid

just got pulled.

Your mom flaked

on re-filing her paperwork.

How is her rehab stint going,

by the way?

How did you know that?

From this moment forward,

we are always one step

ahead of you.

You're the Britney,

and she's the Madonna.

Will's having a cocktail party

this Friday at 8:00

with all your new best friends.

Be there, bring the photos,

and we'll make a trade.

Thanks for coming.

Let's just get this over with.

I see you've met everyone.

Yeah, I think so.

Let me see

if I got this straight,

the drug dealing neurotic

with the double life,

the self-conscious follower,

the abusive,

womanizing sociopath,

and finally the gold-digging

social climber?

How cute.

Yeah, well, I've been around,

you know?

I've seen all the skeletons

in your closets,

probably even the ones

you hid from each other.

Okay, that's enough.

You've put us in

a very compromising position.

Yeah, something new

and different for you, I'm sure.

Can we not

with the sarcastic quips?

I get that it's your

insecure defense mechanism,

but it's... you know, it's really

starting to piss me off.

Then just say what you

brought me here to say.

The stunt you pulled in class

the other day was unacceptable,

and we're here to do something

about that

so it doesn't happen again.

Yeah, how's that?

You know that we all have

very bright futures ahead of us.

You, not so much, huh?

Yeah, well, not everybody

was born with the taste

of silver in their mouths.

Don't turn this into
