DAVIS:They just looked like trouble. The bigger one was leading the small guy off the trail, it looked like a shakedown.

TURNER:Okay, so you come across this “shakedown.” Then what happens?

DAVIS:It was too late to try and get away. They saw me the second I rounded the bend. Without a second thought, the smaller of the two pulled a gun and shot the smaller guy point blank.

VILLA:(gasps)

TURNER:You okay, Nina?

VILLA:Sorry.

WARREN:(to Wilson) You guys find a body out there?

WILSON:(clears throat) Nope.

WARREN:Huh.

WILSON:What?

WARREN:Seems odd someone wouldn’t report finding that.

WILSON:Unless it wasn’t there.

VILLA:If he says it happened, it happened.

TURNER:Nin.

VILLA:(clears throat)

WARREN:We’re not discounting that it happened, just trying to put the pieces together.

TURNER:(sighs) Okay, then what happens?

DAVIS:I ran. Figured it was better than standing around and waiting for the same thing to happen to me.

TURNER:Did they follow?

DAVIS:Yeah, and they seemed to know those woods like the back of their hands. No matter where I went, they were always right there. The bigger one got to me first, though. He had something on him, used it to hit me on the head.

WARREN:You didn’t see what it was?

DAVIS:If I did, I don’t remember. There are still some fuzzy bits.

WILSON:How can we rely on any of this, then?

TURNER:Okay, so the bigger one hits you on the head. Then what happens?

DAVIS:(background noise, sighs) I tried to get away, I don’t remember a lot after that. Just trying to get away, until everything went black.

WILSON:You’re not giving us much to go on, Mr. Davis.

DAVIS:I saw them again in Bezer. The men.

TURNER:Okay, let’s hold on a second. Back up. So, everything goes black, what is the next thing you remember?

WILSON:(mumbled) This is useless.

DAVIS:Waking up in a hospital room.
