The Prowler Page #3

---

I'm lonely

and I want to go home alone

There she is.

I'm lonely

Don't leave me alone

You mean there was someone actually in

the dorm? Are you sure you're all right?

I'm fine. God. It must

have been terrible.

I want you to tell everyone

to stay put.

Right. I-I'll make

an announcement right away.

Very important announcement to make.

Uh, is this thing on still?

Do you think-

Hello? Testing-

Hello? Uh, attention. Could I have your

attention, please, ladies and gentlemen?

Uh, Deputy London

has just informed me...

that a prowler has been seen

around the campus, and, uh-

Well, he could be dangerous.

Now, I know this won't be very popular,

but I'm going to have to ask...

that everybody please stay in the building

until we know more about this.

Which shouldn't be too long, okay?

So everybody just relax

and enjoy the dance and the music.

Sh*t.

Oh. Thank you.

Oh.

I'll probably puke

in the damn pool.

Psst!

Hi. I'm back.

Who turned off the band?

Miss Allison just made an announcement. There's

some kind of prowler outside or something.

Maybe we should tell her Lisa left.

Nah. Paul will be with her.

She'll be okay.

One, two, three!

Hey, baby.

Let's struggle. Come on.

Wait a minute, Paul. You're going to have to

wait a while before you go outside. For what?

Paul, hold on. Just listen to me for a

minute, okay? What the f***'s going' on here?

Don't go

I don't give a sh*t about any goddamn

prowler. All right. Now just settle down!

Calm down, buddy. Leave

me alone! Okay, okay.

I want this boy arrested! We don't have

to stand for this kind of thing here.

I want him out of here! Or am I

going to have to call the sheriff?

Oh, God.

This is stupid, man.

All right, look.

I'm getting' him out of here. Okay?

Look. Can you handle everything here?

Come on! Come on.

She's where?

Okay, I think that she went out

to the pool, just to cool off.

See, it was

before the announcement.

No, somebody's

going to have to go get her.

If you see Mr. Turner,

just tell him where I've gone.

Think I just got Lisa in trouble.

Paul.

Going to slap the cuffs on me, chief?

Book them, Pam-o.

Lisa?

I am not going outside until

they catch the prowler. That's it.

We don't have to go-

We don't have to go outside.

There's a perfect place

down in the basement. I know it.

I mean, people here,

they use it all the time for parties and stuff.

Ha! Right!

What kind of people?

Come on, Sally. It's great. I'll show you.

Come on. Come on.

Am I okay?

Yeah.

Yeah?

I thought you knew

where this place was.

Ah, that's the beauty of it.

It's difficult to find.

That way, there's no chance

of being interrupted.

Hang on.

Hey.

It's around here somewhere.

Sh*t.

Hey! Warden!

We're busting' out of here at midnight!

You can't keep me in here!

What are you charging him

with? Disturbing the peace.

Hey, you can't keep me in here. My boys will

spring me as soon as they hear about this.

Hey! Keep it down in there!

Ooh! Look out, boys!

The marshal's coming' with his rubber hose!

Paul, shut up!

I heard something.

It was probably just the wind.

In the basement?

Hmm?

Basement!

Why don't we

check out the dorm again?

You don't think he'd still be there,

do you? It's all we have to go on.

Oh, but Mark,

what about Major Chatham?

I'm not going to break into the

man's house twice in one night.

Well. Lookee here.

Now, George left you in charge here.

Can't you keep them kids under control?

What are you doing here, Kingsley?

It's that damn graduation thing.

We haven't had any trouble out of that college

for more than 30 years, and...

now they have to

start that damn thing over again.

- What do you mean?

- There's a bunch of kids over there in the cemetery.

I know what they're doing' in there.

Now, what are they

doing in there, Kingsley?

Hell, it was dark.

I couldn't see anything.

Well, if you couldn't see anything,

why don't you just go home?

Sure.

But that gate was wide open.

The gate's supposed

to be locked at night.

I wonder what he was doing

wandering around down there.

Watch the road.

I'm going to see what I can find

out there, okay?

Okay.

Mark!

Mark! Mark! Mark.

I saw somebody.

I think it was Otto Hahn!

I- H-He was looking at me

through the window.

I found an open grave out there.

It's been opened.

Oh, Lisa.

No!

No!

- Ocoee Lodge.

- Hello, yeah. Uh, could I please speak to Sheriff George Fraser?

He should have checked in today.

Well, I just come on an hour ago.

Let me check and see

what cabin he's in.

Look, buddy. This is an emergency. I need to

get in touch with him right away. He's in, uh...

Lake Cabin Number 7.

Most everybody's asleep now.

Uh-huh.

Well, why don't I

just run out and get him?

He isnt in his cabin.

Well, do you know where he went?

I told you. I just come on an hour ago.

I ain't seen him.

I know a bunch of them were going'

night fishing for crappie up in, uh-

Oh, shoot. Where were they going? Uh-

Look, could you take a message?

Yeah. I could take a message.

Wait till I get a pencil.

All right. Shoot.

Yeah. Tell him to call Mark London.

Tell him to get in touch with me right away.

All right. I'll tell him.

Bye.

Mark? Mark, who are you calling?

State police.

Yeah. This is Deputy Mark London from Avalon Bay.

Could I please speak to Captain Jenkins?

Yeah, I'll hold.

When will they be here?

Less than half an hour.

They caught the man

who robbed the store three hours ago.

He couldn't have killed Lisa.

That was Rose Chatham's grave we

found, wasn't it? I don't know.

Mark, the same man who killed her

killed Lisa.

Why are we stopping here?

I want you to go inside

and see if everythings under control.

All right?

All right. I'll be right back.

Pam?

I want you to stay at the dance.

What?

I'm going up to Chatham's alone.

Mark, that doesn't make any sense.

I don't want to drag you around

anymore, okay?

Drag me around?

What are you talking about?

I'm sorry. All right. That's fine, Mark!

You just go play sheriff, all right?

Let's go.

I'm going upstairs.

Mark?

Mark!

What happened?

I don't know!

Must be the fuse.

I'll go down and check it.

No! No!

I'm here for our date, Rose.

No! No! No!

No! No!

No! Mark! Mark! Mark!

No! No!

Oh!

No! No!

Oh.

No!

Sheriff. Sheriff!

Why? Why?

Why?

Go on upstairs.

I better talk to this guy.

No!
