NEXT SCENE: THE STATION HOUSE

We fade into a conversation already in progress. DeBaptise sits casually on Garcetti’s desk.

                                                Garcetti

She had a dresser full of cash and a modest bank account. I mean, no Fort Knox but enough for a teenage girl to get her freak on. So it couldn’t have been about money. Looks like she she wanted to ruin him, make him bleed. (he pauses again)

Hey ya think that nutty professor may have been right with all that Exorcist crap?

                                                DeBaptise
(silent for a moment. He stares off into space, subconsciously rubs the scar, well hidden beneath his high collared shirt then utters an unfinished sentence)
