"Bridge over Troubled Water"
The rain in Foxport has completely calmed down. For now..
*****
Peacefully collecting lab samples of tree bark alone on a secluded grassy knoll, Trevor, fantasizes about kissing Tracy again...
He snaps out of his trance and is brought back to reality by sounds of two people arguing coming from under the Peace Bridge nearby. Trevor tries to stay quiet as he moves in closer trying to get a better listen... but, who is that?... it sounds like... Tracy?! ... Trevor thinks.
Then- dead silence. Trevor can hear the small waterfall nearby grow louder loudly drowning out the silence...
Down below, the echo of Tracy's voice is now clearly heard at the opening of the bridge tunnel-
Cameron, now turned around, is frozen. He doesn't know what to say... he is speechless.
"What?..." followed by a long emotional pause. "You're seeing Samantha?", Tracy demands from him. A tear falls off her cheek.
Cameron wants to look up and say something, but he can't. Tracy looks away and takes a step backwards. She runs out from under the bridge. Cameron races after her, but stops short as he nears the opening- it's begun to rain again.
The spying Trevor ducks out of Tracy's view and flips up his hood.
"Wait, please", Cameron calls angrily. "If I don't tell her by tomorrow, we can call off everything Tracy! Tracy! Just wait! Tracy, please." Cameron whimpers.
It's too late... Tracy's now a mere spec far off in the distance...
Trevor, still hidden, is trying to make sense of what is happening. He turns around: What just happened?. Off in the distance, over Trevor's back, is Cameron, still looking off towards Tracy.
Way, way, off in the distance, up high, the-mysterious-man-with-the camera appears again- unnoticed. He is behind a bush on a hill near the park gate. He snaps another shot of everyone: Cameron, Tracy and Trevor. Then his camera runs out of film and the auto rewind starts buzzing...
Trevor begins to feel something weird on his hand. An unusually sharp itching pain. He scratches it away- but then it sharply returns-
"Argggh!" Trevor screeches in pain. What on earth is that?! Trevor starts wondering what could that be? That sharp pain again! He clutches his hand near tears-
Cameron glances around toward the noise.
Trevor tucks in closer behind a tree.
Cameron swears he hears something so he begins to make his way closer to it.
Trevor, feels an increase of pain as he puts his hand over his mouth to silence himself- he can't let anyone know that he's there! Trevor is too much in pain to hear the Cameron approaching from behind!
The mysterious camera man, reloads his camera, and takes another shot of the 'new' scene: this time a shot of Cameron approaching Trevor from behind. From this angle, it looks like there is something sharp and shiny in Cameron's hand. Is that a knife?
