This is a grim alternate ending to my recently-concluded RP, detailing Ichabod Quinn's call to emergency services before his death.

I made it a while back just for fun, but I figured I might post it somewhere c:

DISPATCHER: "911, what is the location of your emergency?"


[SILENCE]


DISPATCHER: "Hello, if you have an emergency, please pr-"


ICHABOD: "Sorry."


DISPATCHER: "Sir, what is the location of your emergency?"


ICHABOD: "I'm sorry. I'm only going to be on the call for five minutes, I don't want to be here when they..."


DISPATCHER: "Sir, what is your name?"


ICHABOD: "Ichabod Quinn."


DISPATCHER: "And what is the address of-"


ICHABOD: "I'm in the basement. At home, I'm at [REDACTED]."


DISPATCHER: "Okay. And what is the nature of your emergency?"


[SILENCE]


DISPATCHER: "What happened, sir?"


ICHABOD: "She's dead."


DISPATCHER: "She's dead? Who is dead?"


ICHABOD: "She-... Avery is dead, I killed her."


DISPATCHER: "You killed someone?"


ICHABOD: "Yes. Avery Graham."


DISPATCHER: "Where is she?"


ICHABOD: "She's here with me. Can you call the police?


DISPATCHER: "Yes, please stay on the line, okay? Police are on the way."


ICHABOD: "Thanks."


DISPATCHER: "Is she breathing?"


ICHABOD: "No, I made sure."


DISPATCHER: "You-... You made sure?"


ICHABOD: "Yes, I made sure she was dead."


DISPATCHER: "This was intentional?"


ICHABOD: "Yes. She asked me to."


DISPATCHER: "Where is the weapon?"


ICHABOD: "The weapon..."


DISPATCHER: "Yes, what did you kill her with?"


ICHABOD: "I have a weapon but I didn't kill her with it, I used my machine-"


DISPATCHER: "Machine?"


ICHABOD: "-and I have a gun, but I didn't use it on her."


DISPATCHER: "Sir, where is the gun?"


ICHABOD: "In my hand. But I didn't shoot her with it."


DISPATCHER: "Okay, are you able to secure the gun elsewhere right now?"


[SILENCE]


DISPATCHER: "Don't hang up sir, stay on the line please. Are you in any danger?"


[SILENCE]


DISPATCHER: "Sir, are-"


ICHABOD: "I don't know."


DISPATCHER: "You're in danger?"


ICHABOD: "I don't know."


DISPATCHER: "Are you alone right now?"


ICHABOD: "I don't know."


DISPATCHER: "Who is with you ?"


ICHABOD: "I don't-... I don't know."


DISPATCHER: "Have you been taking any medications or alcohol?"


ICHABOD: "No."


DISPATCHER: "Okay. And you said Avery isn't breathing?"


ICHABOD: "Yes, I killed her. I killed Avery."


DISPATCHER: "How long ago did this happen, sir?"


ICHABOD: "I don't know. She's cold."


DISPATCHER: "Okay. Please stay on the line."


[SILENCE]


ICHABOD: "I just wanted the police to be on their way, I just-... The bodies, I didn't want them to rot when they're discovered."


DISPATCHER: "Are-... Is there more than one body?"


ICHABOD: "Not yet, no."


DISPATCHER: "Are you planning to-"


ICHABOD: "-well, not here. Tabitha's body is gone."


DISPATCHER: "Has someone else died?"


ICHABOD: "Tabitha Jones is dead too. She was-... I shot her."


DISPATCHER: "Where is she?"


ICHABOD: "Buried. That wasn't today, though."


DISPATCHER: "Where is she buried, sir?"


ICHABOD: "And Lenore, too."


DISPATCHER: "How many people are injured or dead?"


ICHABOD: "Peopl-... Lenore is my bird."


DISPATCHER: "Okay. Have you hurt or killed anyone else?"


ICHABOD: "Matthias Watterson, too."


DISPATCHER: "The news anchor? Where is he?"


ICHABOD: "Yes, I strangled him. He's on the porch, I made sure he was dead too."


DISPATCHER: "Okay, sir, please stay on the line. Can you put your gun somewhere safe?"


ICHABOD: "I'm not going to do that, I'm sorry."


DISPATCHER: "Is someone threatening you?"


ICHABOD: "No."


DISPATCHER: "Are you planning to do harm to anyone else?"


ICHABOD: "Yes."


DISPATCHER: "Who?"


ICHABOD: "It's for me."


DISPATCHER: "For-... Are you planning on harming yourself?"


[SILENCE]


DISPATCHER: "Sir, can you hear me? Please stay on the line."


[SILENCE]


DISPATCHER: "Are you here, sir?"


ICHABOD: "I'm here."


DISPATCHER: "I need you to stay on the call, okay?"


ICHABOD: "They'll be here soon, won't they?"


DISPATCHER: "Yes, the police should arrive there soon."


ICHABOD: "I'm sorry about this. I hope your job has good benefits. You seem like a good person."


DISPATCHER: "I need you to remain on the call with me, okay?"


ICHABOD: "Not that I'm very good at telling who is a good person. Do they pay for therapy?"


DISPATCHER: "Sir, I need you to stay focused, okay? Where are you in your house?"


[SILENCE]


DISPATCHER: "Are you there? Sir, can you hear me?"


ICHABOD: "Thank you for speaking with me."


DISPATCHER: "I need you to stay on the call."


ICHABOD: "She would have liked you."


DISPATCHER: "Stay on th-"
