Death Before Dishonor

End

minutes later in the conference room. The "DBD" clique are all sitting at a round
                 table when Det. Jenson and Det. Borden walk in and close the door behind them]
Det. Borden: [walks over and puts the two folders in the middle of the table]
Det. Jenson: Anyone want to tell us what happened?
   [He looks around the table at the six of them]
Det. Borden: Nobody?
Ramon: We done told you all we have to say.
Det. Jenson: No, you didn't.
Brandon: Why y'all trying to drag this shit out? We ain't kill David Lee Rhoden.
Det. Borden: That's what all six of you said. Then one of you told us you were the reason he
                         was dead.
Det. Jenson: Make up your minds. You either killed him or you didn't.
Det. Borden: And how can one of you be the reason he's dead, but you didn't kill him?
Renee: We didn't kill David Lee Rhoden.
Det. Jenson: We know.
   [He reaches down and opens both folders. On top of the folder on the left is a crime
                  scene photo of Mr. Rhoden. On top of the folder on the right is a picture of a cop.
               They're the same person.]
Det. Borden: You didn't kill David Lee Rhoden. You killed Officer Robert Leon Davis.
   [The "DBD" clique just look at the pictures]
Renee: And?
Det. Jenson: Tell me why.
Ramon: You got the records, you know why.
Det. Borden: Then tell us how you killed him.
Brandon: You know that too. We beat him and shot him to death.
Det. Borden: How did you find hum?
Dantrella: Bastard wasn't hiding. He just changed his name. He was in the open this whole time.
Det. Jenson: When did you see him for the first time, recently?
Liya: About a week before we killed his ass.
Det. Borden: It was premeditated?
Ramon: Call it what you want to.
Det. Jenson: So, you seen him on the street the week before?
Liya: Yes.
Det. Borden: You never seen him before then?
Renee: No.
Det. Borden: So, after 11 years you see him and recognize him?
Jamal: You don't forget a face like that.
Det. Jenson: [nods his head in understanding] Tell me what happened in the week leading up to
                      his death.
Liya: We were walking to the store, I think it was a Monday or Tuesday, and we looked across
          street and there he was.
Renee: Just fucking walking around all normal-like and shit. He had his kids with him.
Det. Borden: Who recognized him first?
Jamal: I did. You don't understand, he did all that shit and got away with it. [starts to cry]
            Motherfuckers covered his shit up, told us we were lying. Why the fuck would we lie
            about something like that? I live with this shit everyday, but I see him and he just
             walking around normal. That shit wasn't right.
Ramon: If the cops had done their job right the first time—
Renee: We wouldn't have had to do it for them.
Liya: How you cover up some shit like that? We ain't talking 'bout no parking tickets or
        something like that. We talking  'bout some serious shit.
Det. Borden: What they did wasn't right. Child molestation and rape is serious.
Jamal: Who you telling? You think we don't know that? We know it. We knew it back too.
             It's too bad your police brethren didn't.
Ramon: Wanna know some funny shit? Y'all came after us on some witness statements, but we
             had witness statements too.
Liya: Ours just ain't count.
Jamal: Damn a witness statement! I had fucking medical records and shit, my word, their word,
            [motions around table] and two people from next door. All that shit just vanished into
            thin air.
Ramon: Just left the face of the earth.
Brandon: So we made that motherfucker's life vanish.
Det. Jenson: How did you find out where he stayed?
Renee: Sick motherfucker went back to the scene of the crime. But back then it wasn't
             Greenland Acres, it was—
Det. Borden: Eastpoint Apartments.
Dantrella: Yeah. We found out where he stayed, thought about calling the cops, but then
                   we said "fuck it".
Det. Borden: And you decided to kill him?
Renee: Yeah. 
Det. Jenson: Tell us what happened back then.
Ramon: Jamal?
Jamal: Tell 'em.
[Flashback]
       [11 years earlier at Eastpoint Apartments. Liya, Renee, Dantrella, Ramon, and
                             Brandon are sitting in the living room if Anna Kanel's apartment]
Ramon: [stands up] Auntie, where's Jamal?
Anna: He went to talk to Officer Davis, down the hall.
Brandon: We want to go outside.
Anna: All of you?
Kids: Yes!
Anna: Go find Jamal and go outside. Stay together.
Liya: Okay.
   [The five of them get up and walk to the door. Ramon opens the door and they all walk 
               out, Dantrella closing the door behind them.]
      [In the hallway. The kids are walking and screaming Jamal's name]
Brandon: [yelling] Jamal!
Ramon: Jamal, hurry up so we can go outside!
   [Renee and Liya stop at a door]
     [Muffled screams and cries come from inside the apartment]
Renee: Jamal?
   [Muffled screams and cries continue]
Liya: He's in here.
   [The other three run to the door]
Ramon: Jamal?!
   [cries continue]
Brandon: Open the door!
Ramon: [reaches over and turns the knob and the door opens]
   [Inside Officer Davis' apartment. Officer Davis is sodomizing Jamal when the other five
               walk in. Jamal's crying]
Ramon: Jamal?
