Audio Mystery

  SFX: Alarm clock buzz, thump of body hitting the floor, yelp of minor pain/ groan, foot steps, buzzer stops, footsteps pan, door opens, handle turning running water.

Young man: Ow Hot Hot Hot! 

SFX: Handle turning.

Young man: (Sigh of relief) mmm nice!

SFX: Cracking knuckles. Running water, screech as man slips, another yelp and a groan. Turns off water. Rustle of cloths, pants zipper, cough, turns on the sink, sound of a toothbrush, spit, brush back in a cup. Shaving cream coming out of the bottle, whistling, running water from the sink, razor under water, and tapping against the side of sink, razor against skin, tap, razor against skin.

Young Man: Owe, Damn.

SFX: Turns off water, closes door. Tranistion, door opens, old style door bells ring.

Older Man: Oh, good morning Charles. Lovely day isn’t it?

SFX: Door Closes.

Charles: Suppose so Mr. Davis. Just another accident waiting to happen for me, can you believe it, I woke up after falling out of bed this morning, I slipped in the shower, and I cut myself shaving, I don’t know what’s going on. I’ve always been a clouts, but lately its just ridiculous, I think its getting worse, I just don’t know what to do.

Mr. Davis: I may not be a doctor but maybe you’re just tired. Here have some coffee.

SFX: Coffee pot being picked up.

Charles: Thanks Mr. D, I’m actually on my way to school, can I get it to go?

Mr. Davis: Sure, no problem.

SFX: Coffee Pouring into cup.

Charles: Cool, see you tomorrow.

SFX: Coffee pot being put back. Door opens chimes sound, door closes.

Mr. Davis: Poor boy.

SFX: Picks up phone dials, ringing.

Mr. Davis: Ms. Landry? Yes he, he just…

SFX: door chimes

Charles: (whispering) Sorry, I forgot my backpack.

Mr. Davis: left (strain in voice) Yes maim, your welcome.

SFX: door chimes

Mr. Davis: Bye bye now.

SFX: Phone clicks on hook. Transition to Charles footsteps, walking, slurps of coffee. Rustling of keys out of pocket, Keys drop hit metal grate, drop farther and hit concrete.

Charles: Damn!

SFX: sighs and bends to get keys, horn honks, speeding car pans by

Charles: Shi…

SFX: Jumps up while grabbing keys.

Charles: Who the hell was that?

SFX: Car door unlocks, door opens gets in shuts door and drives off. Pan of car passes; we hear a news station on the radio,

News: in breaking news, it seems there is a massive epidemic on the teenagers of ages 16 to…

SFX: Charles changes the station to a music channel, then a slurp of coffee, a dropping cup, and screeching brakes, followed by a crash of two cars crashing into each other. Knock on window.

Man: Buddy you all right? (Pause) Damn!

SFX: phone, speed dialing

Man: Ms. Landry, I found him, (pause) well he hit my car, he looks unconscious.

SFX: ambulance sirens.

Man: Helps on its way, what should I do? Understood.

SFX: click of phone shutting, footsteps, running away as sirens approach, transition music of suspense and wonder, sounds of a hospital room,

Doctor: Charles, (pause) Welcome back, your at Saint Mary’s hospital, you’ve been in an accident.

Charles: Tell me about, it my neck and head are killing me,

Doctor: That’s probably the whiplash, it happens when you hit a stationary target at thirty-five miles an hour.

Charles: Am I going to ok?

Doctor: You should be fine, in fact you’re lucky, we’ve had other teens your age coming in all day, much worse than you.

Charles: What’s wrong with them?

Doctor: Usually I couldn’t tell you, but it’s been all over the news, so…

Woman: Charley what did you do? (Frantic)

Doctor: Ms. Goodman, I presume?

Woman: Yes, Is he going to be ok? I just can’t lose my son. You better take care of him!

Charles: Mom, I'm fine, they say I just have some mild whiplash, it’s nothing serious.

Woman: Nothing serious? Are you insane whiplash is very serious, I want to speak with…

SFX: Pager beeping,

Doctor: I’m sorry, I’m needed elsewhere, we got another kid that dropped unconscious, out of nowhere.

SFX: Footsteps, and alarms,

Woman: Hey wait, what about my boy? Hey!

Charles: Mom, let him go, do you know whose car I hit?

Woman: No, no one knows, it has government plates, but no one knows it.

Charles: I think there is something bigger going on than my whiplash.

SFX: Suspenseful music. Door opening, footsteps,

Doctor: Hey Charles, your mom here?

Charles: No she went to eat, plus I wanted alone time.

Doctor: Well would you mind if you got a roommate, he’s out cold still but we’re running out of room in the ICU.

Charles: Yeah no problem.

Doctor: Good.

SFX: shuffle of people moving into room.

Charles: Brian? Doc, I know him, he’s in my physics class.

Doctor: Good, if you don’t mind, talk to him, he is unconscious, but its proven to help.

Charles: What’s wrong with him?

Doctor: We don’t know, what caused it, but there is a build up if spinal fluid entering the skull, its putting pressure on the brain itself, and causing unconsciousness.

Charles: Can you fix it?

Doctor: For now all we can do is relieve the pressure, but the procedure is very dangerous, every time we perform it there is a chance of paralysis. We need to know what’s causing this, before we can do anything to fully help these kids.

Woman: (Through PA system) Doctor Cohins, telephone call at nurses’ station.

Doctor: That’s me, ill be right outside.

SFX: Walks out door, till within earshot,

Doctor: (At a distance) Doctor Cohins speaking… Ms. Landry was it, yes we have a Charles Goodman admitted… he has mild whiplash he’ll be fine, I was about to discharge him… Yes, Maim, he’ll be in room 37 d… yes maim.

SFX: click of phone, footsteps back into room.

Charles: So Doc, when can I get out of here?

Doctor: Well, your whiplash is very mild, you’ll be back to normal in a day or two, but I think it best if you stay over night, because of all the other kids dropping like flies we wouldn’t want that to happen to you, right?

Charles: (nonchalant) Sure, you’re the Doc.

SFX: suspenseful music, doc walks out. Ruffle of bed sheets, bare feet on tile floor, picking up of a clipboard, walking across the small room and swapping the clipboards. Climbing back into bed, Transition music.

Ms. Landry: (whispering) this is it, 37 d, get the sample and lets go.

SFX: door creaking

Man: Which one?

Ms. Landry: Look at the charts.

Man: OK, got it.

SFX: Door closing. Bed sheets rustling, Charles walking to door, silently looking out, down the hall.

Man: That’s for my car.

Ms. Landry: Oh, come on.

SFX: Charles closing door quietly, getting back into bed. Transition, creepy music. Door opens.

Mom: Good Morning Sunshine, how was your night?

Charles: Mom, listen to me, I think the government is after me.

Mom: Oh come on now, you must have been dreaming.

Charles: Check his arm there will be a puncture mark where they took his blood.

Mom: You’re in a hospital, dear, they do, do that sometimes.

Charles: You have got to believe me.

SFX: Door opens, doctor walks in.

Doctor: Well, you’ve got a clean bill of health…

SFX: Picks up a clipboard

Doctor: Brian? Now how did these get switched around?

Mom: I think my son may have some PTSD, he claims that the government is after him.

Doctor: Yes maim, would you mind giving your son and me some privacy?

Mom: Why?

Charles: Please, Mom I think we can trust our doctors, right?

Doctor: Yes, of course.

Mom: Ok I’ll be right outside.

SFX: Door closing

Charles: Ok Doc, what the hell is going on? I know those two last night weren’t nurses, and why did they want a sample of my blood?

Doctor: I don’t know what they were thinking, honestly when you came in I thought you were just another kid affected by this epidemic, if you can call it that. It’s only affected ten small towns, and all the kids have grown up together but none of the towns are connected n any way, if I were you I would lay low for a while.

Charles: What if they want to help? I cant just run away from the government.

Doctor: Do what you want, but how many times has the government helped you? You’re cleared to go, (pauses) be safe, if you feel any more pain in your neck, get back here.

SFX: Transition, in side a car on the road.

Mom: SOoo, what you and the doctor talk about.

Charles: Nothing just dude stuff, and how to help my neck.

Mom: Why did I have to leave?

Charles: Well we did want to be able to hear tomorrow…

Mom: What’s that supposed to…

SFX: Tires screech to stop.

Mom: What the hell is going on.
Man: (over bull horn) Charles Goodman get out of the vehicle, lie down on the pavement and put your hand on your head!

Mom: Charles what did you do?!?

Charles: I told you the government was after me.

Man: Do it now! There is nowhere for you to run.

Mom: (Yelling) Why should he?

Charles: Not helping mom. (Yells) I’m coming out!

SFX: Charles getting on the ground, Man running up grabbing him and pushes him to a van door.

Man: We are here to help you. Get in.

SFX: Shuffling feet, van door closes.

Woman: Charles Goodman, my name is Patricia Landry. I work with the CIA.

Charles: Don’t I know you?

Ms. Landry: I was your elementary school nurse, or at least I was for a while.

Charles: I might be clumsy, but I don’t forget a face.

Ms. Landry: Yes, well that’s what I need to talk to you about, I was the leader on a project known as codename Risk, in a way you are the result of that test.

Charles: Excuse me?

Ms. Landry: My team was investigating in a drug that would increase a child’s mental capacity tenfold, we where performing a test at your school, and others as well, during your first grade year, we claimed the shots to be antiviral immunizations, but in all truth most were placeboes. In fact you are the only living subject that’s shown results.

Charles: LIVING!!!

Ms. Landry: It was an experimental drug, all the lab test proved successful, in a way, but…

Charles: But what? What the hell did you do to me?

Ms. Landry: Three weeks after we administered the drug to the school, all of the test animals died from massive hemorrhaging in the brain. After that, the higher ups pulled the plug on the project, just recently we’ve gotten reports of teens your age dieing from the same thing, so we where put back to work to find a cure.

Charles: So you can fix it? Right?

Ms. Landry: Actually, we think you are the answer we are looking for, we’ve determined that your clumsiness is actually caused by the antibodies fighting the drug in your brain, we hoped you would allow us to take some blood so we can synthesize the anti bodies and hopefully save the others.

Charles: But what about me, I’ve been like this for a while, you want to give that to other kids too, you might as well let them die respectively!

Ms. Landry: You’re body was just building up immunity to the drug; our scientist claim it will pass after your body defeats the drugs.

Charles: (sarcastically) well as reliable as your scientists are, (pauses) just get it over with, (pause) I hate needles.

SFX: Car hits a bump, SCREAMING
