Judd's Death

Preparing for Halloween
[Judd is cutting holes in his bedsheet, two for the eyes and one for the mouth]

Judd: "People are going to love my ghost costume!"

[he puts it over his head]

Abraham: "Hey, Kate. Can you bring Lydia, Judd and Barbara so they can go trick-or-treating?"

Kate: "Okay, dad."

Tyler: "Mom, I'm 13 right now. I don't think I can go trick-or-treating anymore. Not only it's for little kids but it's too childish for me."

Samantha: "Good, I am pretty sure that you can pass out candy for now on."

[Tyler is dressed as a Power Ranger, Kate is dressed as witch, Lydia is dressed as Snow White, and Barbara is dressed as a cat]

Abraham: "Alright, kids, let's go trick-or-treating."

Lydia: "Yay!"

Barbara: "Trick-or-treating!"

[Abraham takes Kate, Lydia, Judd, and Barbara trick-or-treating as they head to the first house]

[Judd rings the doorbell as a neighbor, dressed as a clown opens the door]

Kate, Lydia, Judd and Barbara: "Trick or treat!"

Clown: "Awww, look at your beautiful costumes!

[he gives them candy]

Kate, Lydia, Judd and Barbara: "Thank you!"

[they head to the next house as Kate rings the doorbell]

Kate, Lydia, Judd and Barbara: "Trick or treat!"

[There is no response]

Kate: "Strange, no one is answering."

[9 houses later, only 8 houses with people that gave the kids candy and 3 houses that people never answered]

[the kids look at a house with a bowl that says "Just take one!"]

Lydia: "Cool! I'll take one 3 Musketeers!"

Barbara: "But what if it had a razor blade?"

Judd: "I'm not sure."

Kate: "Look, I would be careful if I were you."

[Kate looks at the 3 Musketeers bars to reveal that they are taped with, in fact, transparent tape]

Judd: "I'll take one!"

[Judd takes one 3 Musketeers bar]

Heading home
[As they head home, the kids were looking at the candy they had]

[Judd pours all of the candy out of his bag to reveal a Mike & Ike, two Snickers bars, a 3 Musketeers bar, a Hershey's bar, a SweetTarts, three Milky Way bars, a Mr. Goodbar bar, three Twix bars, three Tootsie rolls, a Hubba Bubba, and a small bag of candy corn]

Tyler: "What did you get?"

Judd: "I got a Mike & Ike, two Snickers bars, a 3 Musketeers bar, a Hershey's bar, a SweetTarts, three Milky Way bars, a Mr. Goodbar bar, three Twix bars, three Tootsie Rolls, a Hubba Bubba, and a small bag of candy corn."

Lydia: "Nice haul! I brought a Milky Way bar, two Hershey's bars, a small bag of candy corn, a Snickers bar, a Ring Pop, a Kit Kat bar, and a Crunch bar!"

Kate: "That's pretty cool. I got a bag of gummy bears, a 3 Musketeers bar, a SweetTarts, a Mr. Goodbar bar, a Twix bar, two Milky Way bars, and a small bag of candy corn, too!"

Barbara: "I got a lollipop, a bag of Pop Rocks, a small bag of candy corn, two Tootsie Rolls, a Mike & Ike, a Push Pop, a Sour Jacks, a Kit Kat bar, a bag of M&M's, and a Fruit Roll-Up!"

Judd: "Hmmm... which one should I eat? Oh, how about one Milky Way bar?"

[he eats a Milky Way bar, a Tootsie roll, a Mr. Goodbar bar, a Hershey's bar, and a few pieces of candy corn]

Lydia: "Did it taste good?"

[Judd nods as he unwraps a 3 Musketeers bar and as he bites it, he starts screaming in pain]

Abraham: "What's wrong?"

Judd: "My mouth hurts!"

Lydia: "Judd bit something and it hurts!"

Samantha: "Oh my god! Let me see."

[Samantha looks at it and Judd's tongue is impaled by, in fact, a razor blade which is residing inside a 3 Musketeers bar]

Abraham: "What the hell? Who would even put a razor blade in a 3 Musketeers bar?"

Samantha: "I am not sure. Maybe there is that one guy who puts razor blades in 3 Musketeers bars."

Tyler: "Maybe it's an urban legend. Halloween is very dangerous and it is because of not only poisoned candy but sharp stuff inside the candy."

Abraham: "Was it a myth?"

Tyler: "No clue, Sherlock."

Samantha: "Come on, let's get you to the hospital."

[Tyler takes Kate's 3 Musketeers bar, unwraps it and goes inside the kitchen]

Tyler: [scoffs] "Who needs to x-ray the candy, anyways?"

[Tyler uses a knife and chops up the 3 Musketeers bar in five pieces, but there is a razor blade sticking out of one of the pieces]

Tyler: "Oh my god. What the hell? KATE?! WHERE DID YOU GET THAT 3 MUSKETEERS BAR?"

Kate: "From the "Just take one" bowl, duh."

Tyler: "And why is there a razor blade sticking out?"

Kate: "I don't know..."

[Tyler takes out the razor blade and throws it in the trash]

Tyler: "Who puts razor blades in candy, anyways?"

At the hospital
Samantha: "Don't worry, Judd. Everything will be okay."

Judd: "I'm sorry, mommy."

Abraham: "You were at the hospital because you weren't feeling well.

Judd: "I know. I promise I won't eat candy with sharp stuff."

[Judd turns pale and closes his eyes as the beeper lets out of a very long beep.]

Samantha: "Judd? Judd?!"

The day after his death
[Judd's family were watching a news report about Judd's death]

News reporter: "Breaking news, an 8-year-old boy died from eating a razor blade inside a 3 Musketeers bar on Halloween night. After he died, the police investigated the houses he had trick-or-treated and examined his candy while Judd's body was taken to be investigated in the forensics laboratory. The Denver Police interviewed the neighbors and not only the trick-or-treaters but their parents who went to the house to get candy that Halloween night. They asked if they had seen anything suspicious activity."

[Cut to: Abraham watching the television with his wife and children (excluding Judd)]

Abraham: "Oh no. My son, dead."

News reporter: "The evidence are a 3 Musketeers bar tainted with a razor blade, blood on his bedsheet ghost costume, receipts from suspect's homes, security camera footage at the grocery store and a "Just take one" bowl. The description of the suspect is male and the eight suspects are: Mr. Spengler, Mr. Bates, Mr. Perlstein, Dr. Elton, Reverend John Dreyer, Señor Cruz, Mr. Muldoon, and Mr. Smith. The motive? Clearly unknown. Carolyn?"

Carolyn: "Thank you, Bill. I'm with Officer Watanabe, a police officer in Denver, Colorado. Share your thoughts with us on CNN."

Officer Watanabe: "Well, there is one trick-or-treater in a ghost costume got his 3 Musketeers bar at the house with the "Just take one" bowl. He is with his siblings dressed in different costumes. These are bowls of 3 Musketeers bars with razor blades stuck inside. I kept interviewing the neighbors, the trick-or-treaters and the latter's parents. That kid? Yep. He went to the forensics lab after he died."

Carolyn: "Who caused this?"

Officer Watanabe: "Well, possibly a man. I interviewed Mr. Spengler, Mr. Bates, Mr. Perlstein, Dr. Elton, Reverend John Dreyer, Señor Cruz, Mr. Muldoon and Mr. Smith, but the motive was unknown. They were the suspects. I'm thinking Judd Watts is actually dead?"

Carolyn: "You guessed it. You noticed that you were good at solving mysteries. Well, looks like the urban legend of sharp things in candy and candy being poisoned is, in fact, real. We will Let's be right back with the news after a commercial break!"
