Closes into a crime scene, Detective Youngs is on the scene and Bishop is just arriving. There is a body on the floor with deep gashes around the chest and heart.

Bishop: What we got?

Youngs: Dead body.
(With a grin on his face)

Bishop: (slowly loosing temper)…I’ll ask again, what have we got Youngs?

Youngs: Young male, charged for possession of illegal substances 3 months ago, probably looking for somewhere to get high, but obviously hit a low last night.

Stage direction: Bishop looks up with a disgusted look. 

Bishop:(angrily) Christ sake Youngs, you don’t speak ill of the dead.

Stage direction: Youngs flails his arms in defence of his comment.

Youngs: But sir he was a low life drug dealer, if anything we've been done a favour.

Bishop: That may be the case, but think about this. That man has a family, I can’t go and tell his mother, or wife and children that their Husband, son or father has been killed but it’s not important. There are consequences to each and every action.

Youngs: Whatever.

(Bishop sighs)

Bishop: (Snaps) What was that Detective Youngs?

Youngs:(Sarcastically)  Nothing Sir

Bishop:Lets let forensics start processing some of this before any evidence deteriorates.

Stage direction:bishop walks past the camera out of the scene.

Youngs: Probably best.

Stage direction: Takes a final note about the crime scene.

Fade out
