That guy is my boyfriend, well ex boy friend now. He slapped me because he is so jealous and thought I was out to see another guy.
Jacob
Okay I understand. I just need you to sign this form stating you refuse medical treatment. Also, do you want to press charges?
Victim
Yes I would like to press charges.
Jacob
(Radios in for another police car) Hey can I get a squad car to come to Saint Mary’s Park.
(Few minutes later a squad car appears.)
Jacob
(talking to the arriving officer) Hey this female wants to press charges against her abusive ex-boyfriend. Can you take her to the station?
Police Officer 2
Sure thing. (the police officer drives to the station with the victim.)
Jacob
(talking to Legoski) Let’s go on back to the station.
Legoski
Roger! Let’s turn in your first arrest!
Scene 12. Hospital.
Dr. Steven
Sorry I took so long. I had to get the rest of my things to move into my new office.
Bianca
It’s okay Dr. don’t worry about it.
Dr. Steven
So how are you and your husband doing?
Bianca
Everything is going great. Thanks for asking!
Dr. Steven
I wish I had a woman like you.
Bianca
(looks in confusion) Um… Okay…
Dr. Steven
Sorry if I made you feel awkward.
Bianca
It’s okay.
Dr. Steven
Well, let’s get on with business about the patients in this department. There are only three psychiatric patients.
Bianca
Why only three?
Dr. Steven
Well, there were more, but they showed great progress. Upon showing great progress the previous patients were okay to go back into society.
Bianca
(nods) That’s great.
Dr. Steven
There isn’t three physical patients in this department. It’s more like three patients inside one.
Bianca
(stares) Huh!?
Dr. Steven
The patient in this department has personalities based on studies.
Bianca
WOW!
Dr. Steven
The patient name is Max. You may notice he has personalities of a child, and the personality of him being paranoid and calm at times. You never know what personality you will get when dealing with Max.
Bianca
How long has he be here?
Dr. Steven
Since the age of ten.
Bianca
Poor thing. That’s a very long time to be here for. Why hasn’t he gone to a major psychiatric place?
Dr. Steven
Max is a special case. I have been studying him since he was young with the previous Dr. in charge.(smiles) He’s my special project.
Bianca
(changes the subject) I’m going to use the ladies room.
Dr. Steven
Okay.
(Bianca heads to the restroom. While Bianca is in the rest room, Dr. Steven knocks on Max room door.)
Dr. Steven
(talking to Max) Are you up?
Max
(speaks in a child matter) I’m up.
Dr. Steven
We’re going on a another adventure tonight.
Max
Oh boy! I love adventures.
(Suddenly Bianca walks down the hall and sees Max and Dr. Steven.)
Bianca
So this is Max?
Dr. Steven
Yes he is.
Bianca
(talks to Max) How are you Mr. Max?
Max
(speaks in a growling matter) I’m doing okay…
Bianca
Hopefully we can be friends Max.
(Max stares at Bianca’s eyes while turning his head side to side.)
Dr. Steven
Let’s leave him alone since he doesn’t like to be stared at.
Bianca
Sure…
Dr. Steven
Let’s go back to the office.
(Few hours later.)
Bianca
I’m going to lunch.
Dr. Steven
Enjoy your lunch.
(Bianca leaves to eat lunch. Meanwhile Dr. Steven is up to something on his computer.)
Dr. Steven
(talking to himself) Oh how Bianca reminds me of my wife I never had.(While he is on his computer, he begins to look through photos of some sort) Just look at you with that beautiful smile and beautiful son. One day you’ll be mine.

How do you feel about turning in your first arrest?

It feels good.

Good! Soon you’ll be on your way to making plenty of arrest.
Jacob

Scene 14. Hospital
Bianca
Hey Dr. I’m back. (sees Dr. Steven acting strangely on the computer) What are you looking at?
Dr. Steven
(closes pictures of Bianca) Oh nothing. I was looking at the news. The cops are still looking for the male who is watching people.
Bianca
I hope someone catches him.
Dr. Steven
(turns his head) Well, I’m going home early today. You’ll be relieved by Susie. She is a nice elderly nurse.
(Dr. Steven leaves out of the office, but forgets his lap top that is still on.)
Bianca
(talks to herself) Dr. Steven seemed a bit strange when I asked about what he was looking at. (Bianca browses in Dr. Stevens lap top and notices something in a document folder) Who are all these photos of people? (notices photos of herself and Jacob sleeping) What in the world? I better call Jacob right this minute and tell him about this.
(Bianca calls Jacob.)
Jacob
Hey my sexy woman? What’s going on?
Bianca
You remember that creeper guy that has been on the news lately?
Jacob
Yes? What about him?
Bianca
Well, I really think the creeper guy is my boss.
Jacob
What!? How do you know? And are you sure?
Bianca
I’m 100 percent sure. My boss left early and he left his lap top on in the office. So I decided to browse his lap top and found all of these photos from different people and us sleeping.
Jacob
Wow! That’s nuts! I’ll be right there with my partner.
Bianca
Okay babe. (Hangs up the phone.)
(10 Minutes later. Jacob and his partner enter the hospital.)
Bianca
(hugs Jacob) Babe look…(Bianca shows the pictures from the lap top to Jacob and Legoski.)
Legoski
Wow! I can’t believe this. He has to be that male stalker.
(Suddenly Susie comes in.)
Susie
Hey what’s going on?
Legoski
Excuse me miss. Did you know about these photos in the Dr. Stevens lap top?
Susie
(mumbles) Um… Not at all.
Legoski
Have a seat madam.
Jacob
Should we radio the captain in?
Legoski
Yes. You should do it.
Jacob
Why me?
Legoski
Because it will make you popular as a new recruit.
Jacob
(Jacob smiles) I’ll do it! (Jacob radios the police captain and explains what he found in Bianca’s boss lap top. Upon discussing the situation to the captain. The captain sends a force of police officers to Dr. Stevens house. Jacob also heads out of the hospital
to go meet with the force of police officers.
Scene 15. Outside Dr. Stevens house.
Officers
ONE! TWO! THREE! (the officers break open the door of Dr. Stevens home. Many officers enter the house looking for the Dr.
Jacob
(sees the Dr.) Get down on the ground you freak!
Dr. Steven
(shouting) What have I’ve done?
Jacob
You’re under arrest for being the creeper. We have evidence against you. You won’t be stalking anyone anymore. (Jacob leaves the house and puts Dr. Steven in his police car. The captain approaches Jacob.)
Captain
Good work young recruit. I’m going to do something that is very rare to do so quickly. I am going to promote you.
Jacob
(shocked) Wow thanks!
(Several months later.)
Scene 16. Court House.
Judge
I hear by sentence Dr. Steven to life in prison.
Dr. Steven
(begging) No! Please don’t!
Judge
All evidence such as recording your victims while they slept and shower leaves me with no choice, but to keep you away from society. (shouts) Guards take him away.
The End
Bonus Scene. Hospital.
Susie
(talking to Max) Those stupid people. It was all my plan all along. This time I’ll be sure to keep it between me and you.
Max
Yes mom just between me and you…
