Conspiracy part 8
Kristoff continued to kiss Nora. He pulled her as close to him as possible. For a second Nora thought she was losing her mind. Did Bo jump out the window and run to the door? What was this all about? She pushed herself away from him.
Nora: Hold on…hold on…(putting her hand to her
forehead and then wiping down her mouth)
What is this all about?
Kristoff: Nora, I have been horrible to you. I am sorry. I need you to know that I was very angry…very hurt..
Nora: So go be hurt…go be angry…just go
Kristoff: I need to know that you are all right with Melanie and I getting married…
Nora: Yeah…I’m fine with it…why are you here?
Kristoff follows her into the house, walks up behind her and put his arms around her.
Nora: Bo…stop (trying to wriggle free of this imposters hold)
Kristoff: Nora…please…let’s not end our time together on a low note. Let’s end it the way we lived it…you…me…
Nora: Now that is it! You have to go…I am involved with some one else…
Kristoff: Colin.
Nora: Well, yes. Colin. He and I are very happy…
Kristoff: You do look happy…the happiest you’ve looked in quite some time…he satisfies you…
Nora: What kind of question is that?
Kristoff: (standing behind her very close to her, whispering in her ear) The way I used to satisfy you? (he kisses the back of her neck)
Nora: Bo please…
Kristoff: Don’t you miss me, Nora?
Nora: Not anymore…I’ve moved on with my life and it does not include you…
Kristoff: One more time…for old times sake…come on…you know you want me…let’s go upstairs…
Nora: Get out…get out or I’ll…
Kristoff: You’ll what?(chuckling to himself) Call the police? I am the police…
Nora: Bo….get away from me…(pushing him back)
Kristoff: Nora…just relax…
Nora: What is Melanie going to say? You’re supposed to be marrying her this weekend (backing around the couch) She’ll be devastated…
Kristoff: That is the beauty of it…she doesn’t need to know…just between us…I want us to be friends…maybe more…one last time
He backs her up against the wall in the office and starts to move in to kiss her again. Bo rushes in and pushes Kristoff away from her, Nora rushes out of the office and into the living room.
Bo: YOU STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM HER!!!!
Kristoff: I knew I could get you to show my face…
Bo: I don’t know who you are…but I am going to make sure you don’t hurt that lady anymore
Bo punches Kristoff in the stomach, causing him to double ever and stumble toward the desk. Nora is in the living room. She calls Hank on her cell phone….
Nora: Hank! Oh my God! Get over here…Bo and the imposter….OH!!! Hank!
Hank: Calm down….I’m on my way!
Nora peers back into the office. One Bo has the other Bo pinned to the ground…Since they are both wearing jeans and white T-shirts Nora can’t tell which one is hers.
Nora: Bo!
They both look at her.
Kristoff: I’m Bo…Nora…it’s me…
Bo: Don’t listen to him honey! I love you…
Kristoff: Nice try! (He punches up and Bo falls off of him)
Bo: Umph! (holding his stomach) Nora…..
Nora: Bo…
Kristoff jumps up and grabs Nora by the arm
Kristoff: Come on…I’m sure the police will come for him…are you ok?
Nora: Mmmhmmm…
They walk into the living room. Kristoff puts his hand behind Nora’s head and pulls her closer to him.
Kristoff: Are you sure you’re ok?
Nora: Yes…Bo…I was so scared…
Bo: Hang on!
Kristoff turns around and has Nora in front of him, holding her around the waist.
Bo: I don’t know what you want or why you are here…just let Nora go…it’s me you kept prisoner…its my life you assumed…leave her alone…
Kristoff: You know, I’d like to…but I just can’t (he pulls a small hand gun from inside his waistband and holds it to Nora’s neck)
Bo: You can’t kill her with the gun there at her neck…just let her go…
Kristoff: I’m all about suffering…shooting her here…she suffers…so do you (he fires the gun at Bo, who falls to the floor)
Without Kristoff’s knowledge, Nora had grabbed the letter opener off the desk when she was in the office, with all her might she stabs it into Kristoff’s thigh. He drops the gun and Nora runs to Bo’s side. Hank breaks into the house and draws a fix on Kristoff who is lying on the living room floor withering in pain. Nora is over near Bo
Nora: Is it you?
Bo: Did Hank just get here?
Nora: Yes…
Bo: Odd, I wasn’t about to make love to you…but again someone bursts in!
Nora: I love you…are you ok?
Bo: Yes. I’m not shot…but hurling myself to the floor didn’t do my back much good…
Nora: Hopefully this is over…
Bo: Hopefully we are just beginning…
Hank: Freeze!
Kristoff: Hank…it’s me…Bo
Nora walks out into the living room.
Nora: Hank, I don’t know who this imposter is
Kristoff: Nora…honey…it’s me…Bo…
Nora: Hank…that is not Bo! I don’t know who he is…Bo, MY Bo is in there (points to the office, Bo limps out)
Bo: Buddy…it’s me…
Kristoff: Hank…tell me you are not buying this…he’s obviously a hack…and she just stabbed me…look I’m bleeding!
Bo: (rubbing his arm, then puts his arm around Nora’s waist) Hank…it is me. I have McIver upstairs…
Kristoff: I should have figured…the moron got himself caught…
Hanks: Let’s go…what’s your name?
Kristoff: I want my lawyer!
Hank takes a cuffed Kristoff out of the house, limping from the stab wound to his leg. Back in the living room, Nora helps Bo to the couch. They sit in silence for a moment then she starts crying.
Bo: Hey…hey come on…what’s wrong?
Nora: It’s over…
Another officer is leading Colin down the stairs and out of the house.
Colin: I loved you Nora! We could have been great together! Now who do you have? …That pieced together monster…
Bo: Get him the hell out of here Doogain!
Doogain: Yes sir! Um…you are still Commissioner, right, Commissioner?
Bo: Yes! Now get him outta here!
Doogain leads a cuffed Colin out. He continues to yell back towards the house…
Colin: Nora! Don’t forget Lindsey!!!!
Doogain slams the door.
Bo: Are you OK?
Nora: I will be..(sniffle) It is over right? You are my Bo, aren’t you?
Bo smiles at her and kisses her on the forehead…
Bo: I will always be yours…
She cries a bit longer. Then the silence returns.
Nora: Bo…we have to check out what he said about Lindsey…
Bo: I know…I want to go to the station and be in the interrogation of my imposter.
Nora: You should be..and for Colin’s also. Just make sure you come home to me…
They kiss for a long while then Bo gets dressed and heads
to the station.
************************************************
At the station, Hank and Sykes have Kristoff and his attorney in the interrogation room.
Sykes: I need your real name.
Kristoff: Bo Buchanan.
Hank: ( slamming his hand on the table) You better knock that off now! What the hell is your name punk!
Bo is watching from behind the mirrored glass wall
Kristoff: I know he’s back there….come out Buchanan…come out and look into the face of your worst nightmare!
Hank: You better talk…
Attorney: My client...
Hank: Your client is gonna end up a nameless statistic if he doesn’t come clean!
Sykes: Who are you and who are you working for?
Bo walks out of the mirror room in disgust.
Bo: (to unnamed officer in the room) Let Ganon know I’m going to be in my office.
Officer: Will do, Commissioner.
Bo sits behind his desk and starts to look through the piles
of papers. He notices Melanie’s picture on his desk. He picks
it up and glances at it then pitches it into the garbage (YIPPEE!!!)
All of a sudden Lindsey storms into the office.
Lindsey: What the hell are you doing??!! You find Colin at HER house and you throw him in jail?? What about her? She just walks? Don’t tell me…let me guess…she got to you too. You get her in the sack and your taken by her? What about me? What about my poor Colin?
Bo: Why Lindsey…how nice to see you
Lindsey: Well…don’t get any ideas buck-o…you’re going through with this wedding…you’re going to marry my sister and you’re going to get my father’s money…And you are going to let Colin out of jail…remember…you are on MY payroll!
Bo: Just as I suspected…
Lindsey: What?…What are talking about?
Bo: Lindsey Rappaport…you are under arrest..
Lindsey: Very funny!
Bo: (hitting his speaker button) Marcy…can you send officer Paloma in here? I need her to take Ms. Rappaport down to booking…
Lindsey: Kristoff! What the hell is going on? (Officer Paloma enters and begins to handcuff Lindsey) Kristoff!
Bo: Officer Paloma, I want Ms. Rappaport booked in on conspiracy to commit fraud…just to begin with…we’ll fgure out the rest later…
Nora walks into Bo’s office as Paloma is reading Lindsey her rights.
Bo: Oh, sweetheart! Glad to see you!
Nora: What is she doing here?
Lindsey: I should ask you the same thing…
Nora: I came to see my…(looking at Bo) what do I call you?
Bo: Husband works…
Nora: I came to see my husband…to find out who the imposter was that attacked me earlier…(looks at Bo) any leads?
Lindsey: You are crazy Nora! Imposter! Ha!
Officer Paloma hauls Lindsey down to booking
Bo: Nothing yet…whoever he is…(Bo’s phone rings) Buchanan here! (Nora smiles lovingly at him) OK, I’m on my way (to Nora) That was Hank…the guy cracked…
Nora: Who is he?
Bo: Hesser…Kristoff Hesser
