8.25am
Wendy: Good morning from us here at SimTV AM, it's a
beautiful morning your waking up to as the sun shines high
over Riverside. It's 1st November and before we give you the
main news stories, lets cross over to our news
correspondent, Sarah, who's on the streets of Riverside with
an exclusive report for us.
Sarah: That's right, Wendy. I'm here, standing just
outside of Sim Street where last night some dramatic events
unfolded. News is currently very brief - no names have been
mentioned regarding the incident however what we do know is that two women have been
seriously injured with gun wounds. We heard from the
Riverside General Infirmary just under an hour ago and they
told us that both women are unstable with critical injuries.
The police are investigating the street behind me - this is the closest they will allow us. It's a dreadful
day for those waking up on Sim Street. We'll hopefully have more details as the day
progresses. When we do get them we'll let you know as soon
as possible. Back over to you, Wendy.
9.12am
Richard: How is she?
Dr. Hillary: Lauren
has stabilised however she's still unconscious.
Richard: Do you know if she'll make it?
Dr. Hillary: I really can't say at the moment - we're
just...
Richard: C'mon, you must have some idea. Please, just
let me know if there's any chance she'll be okay.
Dr. Hillary: Richard, I understand this is hard for
you but you'll have to patient. We'll keep you up to date, I
promise.
Richard: Thanks.
Dr. Hillary: Oh, and the police are here too. They've
set up a conference room in the cafeteria. They're
interviewing as many people as possible about last night.
They'll want to speak to you to so I just thought I'd let
you know.
Kevin: So Kerry,
tell me how last night started.
Kerry: Dave and I had our stag and hen nights.
Nothing much happened during them - Kate only appeared after
midnight when Dave and I were alone in the pub.
Kevin: And when Kate arrived...?
Kerry: She started arguing and making insults.
Kevin: And why do you believe she did this?
Kerry: Jealousy... I think. She's been lusting after
Dave for months and I guess our approaching marriage sent
her off the rails.
Kevin: So, after the arguing, what happened?
Kerry: I told her to go away, that she wasn't wanted.
We started fighting - I shoved her. That was when she pulled
the gun out and started threatening us - Dave and I. Dave
tried to stop her. As she pulled the trigger Lauren burst
through the pub doors and the bullet hit her. (Sobs)
Kevin: And what did Kate do next?
Kerry: I just remember looking from Lauren to Kate
and seeing the shock on her face. Kate just walked over to
the door... I thought she was going to do a runner. I was
scared. When she got to the door she turned the gun onto
herself and pulled the trigger. After that, Dave called the
police and ambulance services.
Kevin: Okay, thanks. Anything else you want to tell
us?
Kerry: No. Not that I can think of.
Kevin: Okay, well we'll need to go over exactly what
happened last night. You said you were arguing... can you
tell us what you were arguing about and what was said?
Kerry: (Cries) Must
I?
Kevin: It would be extremely helpful to us if you
did.
Kerry: Listen, I just want to go and see how Lauren
is. (Cries) My head's a total mess after last night.
Kevin: That's to be expected, Kerry.
Kerry: Well accept it then and just let me go and see
my friend.
Kevin: Kerry, if you would just let us know a bit
more, please?
Kerry: I've told you what happened. (Cries)
Kevin: What about the arguing? What was said?
Kerry: (Cries) I'm too tired... I didn't sleep at all
last night.
Kevin: Kerry? Please?
Kerry: (Cries)
10.21am
Kevin: Hopefully we'll get a better response out of you
than we did with of Kerry.
Dave: Okay, where do you want me to start?
Kevin: Before we start, let me ask some questions. At
what time did Kate enter the pub?
Dave: Can't remember the exact time... it was about
half past twelve I think.
Kevin: What do you believe was Kate's motive for
trying to cause trouble last night?
Dave: Erm, I'm not sure. She seemed to have a thing
for me though. I've noticed her giving me looks whenever we
meet. A sort of admiring look.
Kevin: Did you ever respond?
Dave: You mean did I ever give into temptation? No.
No, our relationship, to me, was a work one and it always
remained as that.
Kevin: At any point last night was there an argument?
Dave: Yes. Kerry and myself told Kate to leave. Kate
refused to leave and started spouting rubbish about how her
and I were supposedly in love. At this point, Kerry was
rather annoyed and hit Kate.
Kevin: How did Kate react?
Dave: That was Kate whipped out the gun.
Kevin: And...?
Dave: She just
pulled the trigger.
Kevin: And where was Kate positioned... where about in
the pub was she standing?
Dave: Opposite myself and Kerry - opposite the entrance
to the pub.
Kevin: And how did Lauren enter into the situation?
Dave: She burst through the pub doors just before Kate
pulled the trigger.
Kevin: Kate never meant to shoot Lauren?
Dave: No. Not at all. Which is why I believe that
Kate shot herself. She got a shock and reacted quickly.
Kevin: What do you believe Kate was planning to do?
What do you think would have happened if Lauren had not
entered the pub?
Dave: I think Kate was planning on shooting Kerry and
then myself. Who knows what she would have done after that.
10.47am
Kerry: So, you've been interviewed then?
Dave: Yeah. Kevin just left 5 minutes ago.
Kerry: And?
Dave: I stuck to our story. Don't worry.
Kerry: Thank you... but I certainly don't forgive
you. Thanks to you my best friend is close to death and my
head is a mess. Not only that but I'm pregnant... and could
well end up being a penniless single mother.
Dave: Kerry, I've said sorry. There's nothing more I
can do.
Kerry: Exactly.
Dave: But what do we tell the police if they ask?
Kerry: Huh? You've lost me...
Dave: The police will want to know why we split up.
Kerry: There's no reason for them to think that us
breaking up is why Lauren and Kate have ended up close to
death.
Dave: Perhaps not but they could piece together the
pieces of evidence. You now what they're like.
Kerry: I'm not worried about it, Dave. I'm more
concerned about Kate or Lauren waking up. Both of them could
tell the police the truth.
1.02pm
Richard: Hi, Dr. Hillary. Sorry to bother you but have
you any updates on Lauren's condition.
Dr. Hillary: It's the same as this morning, Richard.
No improvements but her condition hasn't deteriorated. We'll
keep you up to date, I promise.
Richard: Thank you. Would you be able to tell me
where the toilets are?
Dr. Hillary: Sure - take the stairs up to floor 1.
The toilets are on your first right,
Richard: Thanks.
Dave: Any news on
Kate or Lauren?
Kerry: Not really. Lauren's condition is the same as
it was this morning. The doctors said Kate lost a lot of
blood and that they managed to remove the bullet from her.
Dave: How about her condition?
Kerry: Slowly deteriorating they said.
Dave: Oh.
Kerry: Listen, Dave. I can't forgive you but lets
just get today over with without anymore arguing.
3.12pm
Richard: Vanessa?
Dr. Hillary:
Vanessa, I'm afraid the news isn't good.
Vanessa: It hasn't gone away?
Dr. Hillary: No, the cancer is still present.
Vanessa: Oh.
Dr. Hillary: I'm so sorry, Vanessa.
Vanessa: Is there anything else you can do.
Dr. Hillary: We've done everything within our limits.
I'm so sorry Vanessa.
Kerry: Dave! Please,
just give me some space... you're following me everywhere.
Dave: I just came to tell you some good news... I
just spoke with Lauren's doctors. They say she has
stabilised. They've moved her into her own room.
Kerry: She's awake?
Dave: No, she's still unconscious. But she's stable
now and that's an improvement.
Kerry: If only I hadn't tried to shoot Kate then
maybe she'd be fine and living!
Dave: Sssh, don't shout, somebody might here you.
Kerry: Oh why do you care? You're not the one who
nearly killed two people!
Dave: Kerry I still care about you. You're not going
through this alone.
Kerry: Yeah, but I'm going through so much. I nearly
killed my best friend, I could go to jail for life, I found
out my fiancé was having an affair... and you know what the
worst thing is?
Dave: What?
Kerry: I still love you.
Dave: Huh?
Kerry: I still love you.
Dave: But?
Kerry: Yes, I know. You hurt me. But I still have
feelings, Dave. Feelings for you.
Kerry: (Cries)
Dave: Aww, Kate.
You don't need to go through this alone.
4.34pm
Lou: Kate would never have tried to kill herself.
Kerry: Excuse me?
Lou: Kate would never have tried to commit suicide.
Kerry: I heard that... but who are you?
Lou: I'm a friend of Kate's. And I'm telling you Kate
would never try to kill herself.
Kerry: Well, you weren't there last night, you don't
know what happened. Kate tried to kill me but missed and
shot my best friend Lauren. Realising her mistake, she
turned the gun onto herself.
Lou: I find that hard to believe. After shooting your
friend, the Kate I know would've shot you and then your
fiancé.
Kerry: Believe want you want to believe. At the end
of the day, it doesn't make a difference.
Lou: Oh it does. I will make sure the police know
what really happened. I will make sure whoever shot Kate
gets their punishment.
Dave: Kerry, are
you ready to go home now?
Kerry: Oh yes. I just want to get out of these
clothes and get some sleep.
Dave: I managed to sleep for an hour or two last
night.
Kerry: I couldn't... I was too busy worrying about
what happened. I just sat wide awake.
Dave: I suppose you'll want me to phone a taxi since
you're shattered?
Kerry: Yeah, of course, I don't think I have the
energy to walk home.
Dr. Hillary: Dave!
Kerry!
Kerry: What is it?
Dr. Hillary: It's Kate.
Dave: What's happened?
Dr. Hillary: The doctors tried everything they could.
But she just... slipped away.
Kerry: You mean?
Dr. Hillary: Yes, she's died. You two had better come
back inside.
