P.A.N.I.C.S. Episode 3

P.A.N.I.C.S. Episode 3 is the third installment in the P.A.N.I.C.S. series.

Episode 3 - The Writing On The Walls

The Chief and Frank go into the next room to see what has happened to Bravo 1, with Frank going in first. Before the Chief follows, he leaves instructions for Bravo 2 and 3 that if they hear the Chief scream "Corduroy" that they should rush in and help. Bravo 3, of course, disagrees, advising the Chief that a code word in the middle of a panic situation is ill-fated. As the Chief enters the room and Frank screams his name, Bravo 2 and 3 agree that if they hear the word "Corduroy," they will bolt out of the building.

Chief enters the room as Frank is freaking out from the sight of blood covered on all the walls in the room. Some of the walls have messages written in blood, supposedly Bravo 1's. After Frank notices that the blood wraps around a corner, Chief orders Frank to go check it out. As Frank looks into the other room, which has a similair un-stylistic flavor as the other rooms in the building, the camera switches to the killer's perspective as it approaches Chief. The Chief sees the mystery killer and starts screaming "Denim!" and "Polyester!", both which are not the code word he told Bravo 2 and 3. Before he is killed, he curses Bravo 3 for jinxing him. Frank turns around to find the skeletal remains of the Chief asking, "Hey, where did all your meat go?"

Back in the other room with Bravo 2 and 3, they both debate whether they heard the code word spoken. As Bravo 2 tries to come up with an excuse to run to the car, Bravo 3 and then 2 are punched by the invisible killer. After realizing that trying to shoot it they would most likely be shooting each other instead, they drop their weapons and resort to their fists, punching and kicking at nothing but air as Frank enters the room. Perplexed, he asks "What are you doing?", just as he is punched by the invisible killer.

Transcript

Fade in to Chief and Frank talking about what to do
Chief:	Okay Frank, we'll go in side by side... mm, you first.
Frank:	Okay... (runs off)
Chief:	You two stay here. If anything kills Frank, I'll scream the code-word 'corduroy', then you rush in.
Bravo 3:	Why the code-word, Chief, is Frank gettin' killed a secret?
Chief:	I don't wanna lose the element of surprise.
Bravo 3:	What exactly are you surprising, the hypothetical thing that's already killin' Frank? Wouldn't it already know? And I think a code-word is just gonna be too hard to remember in a panic situation, what happens if you get mixed up?
Chief:	Bravo 3, this overanalyzation's just gonna get someone hurt.
Frank:	Whoo! Hey Chief, get in here!
Chief:	See? (runs off)
Bravo 3:	Damn. That's some wildass freaky shit Bravo 2.
Bravo 2:	I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation for it all, right? Right?
Bravo 3:	Man, I don't even know why I talk to you sometimes.
Bravo 2:	If he yells corduroy, I'm fuckin' outta here!
Bravo 3:	Ditto.
Cut to Frank in another room (finally), with the walls covered in blood (wtf?)
Frank:	Chief, Chief!
Chief:	Frank, what's wrong?
Frank:	What do you mean what's wrong? Look! There's blood everywhere!
Chief:	Whoa, whose blood is it? Is it your blood Frank?
Frank:	No it's not my blood! If it was my blood I wouldn't be saying "Look at the blood," I would be saying "God help me I'm out of blood, someone get me more blood!"
Chief:	Maybe it's Bravo 1's blood.
Frank:	Ya think!?
Chief:	Oh come on now Frank, this is no time to get sarcastic. We have some unclaimed blood here.
Frank:	It goes around the corner. Maybe we should follow it.
Chief:	Good idea Frank. You go check it out, and report back to me.
Frank:	(peering around the corner) I don't see anything. Just the same poorly lit hallways, and doorways with no doors. Man these decorators really had weird taste.
Ghostvision starts creeping up on Chief and laughing at him
Chief:	What the- holy crap! Uh- denim! Polyester! Dammit Bravo 3, you jinxed me.
Chief is stripped of skin and tossed down on the ground as a skeleton
Frank:	What did you say Chief? Chief! Hey, where'd all your meat go?
Cut back to Bravo 2 and Bravo 3 behind the desk
Bravo 2:	Oh shit, I think I heard him yell it!
Bravo 3:	Nope. I definitely heard denim. My guess is some crafty ghost is tryin' to crack the code. That's one smartass poltergeist.
Bravo 2:	Okay well uh, I'm goin' to the car.
Bravo 3:	What for?
Bravo 2:	Who knows, maybe a zombie's tryin' to steal it.
Bravo 3:	Come on, man, what zombie's gonna wanna roll in a '72 Plymouth? Besides, I thought you didn't beleive in zombies.
Bravo 2:	Man, I'd believe in the Easter Bunny if it got me out of this hallway.
Ghostvision punches Bravo 3 in the head
Bravo 3:	What was that?
Bravo 2:	What was what?
Bravo 3:	Something hit me, something invisible.
Bravo 2:	Oh come on, I'm sure there's a perfectly logical-
Ghostvision punches Bravo 2 in the head
Bravo 2:	Holy shit! Punching ghosts!
Bravo 3:	Take that! (shoots out the picture behind Bravo 2)
Bravo 2:	Stop it, you're gonna kill somebody with that thing!
Bravo 3:	Alright then, let's do this thing, mano y mano. (puts down the gun and puts up his dukes) Come on bitch.
Bravo 2:	(also puts down his gun) Yeah, bring it!
Bravo 3:	(ducking and weaving) Stick'n move, stick'n move! (throws a couple punches in to the air)
Bravo 2:	(does a jumping roundhouse kick) Hwaaa! (punches the air too) Come on, come on! Where the hell is he? Who's mah bitch now? Who's your daddy? These hands are lethal weapons!
Frank:	What're you doing?
Something punches Frank in the face
Frank:	Ow, somethin' hit me!
