HSSC: Snuff

"Hey, Lisa! You've got to see this!", Kyle yelled up the stairs. Lisa rolled her eyes and decended the stairs.
"Way to knock, man.", Lisa said.
"Come on. You know you love having me around.", Kyle said.
"At least I don't have to freeze my butt off alone. Our landlord seems to think 'urgent' means 'whenever you get around to it'. So what did you want to show me?", Lisa said. An evil grin spread across Kyle's face.
"If you came all this way just to make a dirty joke, I will smack you." Lisa said.
"I didn't. Gotta change up my routine now and again. We found this video in the returns bin at work today.", Kyle said, holding up a Campus Video Rentals bag.
"Oh, really. Well, pop it in the VCR and let's have a look at it." Lisa said. Kyle walked towards the VCR while Lisa plopped down on the couch.
"Maybe it'll be amature porn. We've gotten that before." Kyle said.
"Oh, we can only hope.", Lisa said, rolling her eyes. Kyle sat next to Lisa on the couch.
"Hey, where's the remote?", Kyle asked. Lisa stuck her hand in between the couch cushions and after a few seconds extracted the remote.
"Uhm, thanks." Kyle said.
"No problem", Lisa said. With a sigh, Kyle hit play on the remote and the tape began.
The VCR clicked and the tape began to play. The camera work was shaky, and the colors wrong.
"Dude, maybe it is amateur porn!", Kyle said with a laugh.
A woman was sitting at a dressing table, taking off her jewelry. She looked to be getting ready for bed. Suddenly, a man all in black and wearing a ski mask crept up behind the woman. She sees his image in the mirror and begins to turn around. She is too slow. He grabs her head, and slits her throat in one smooth motion. Kyle pauses the tape.
"What did we just see?", Lisa said, her voice shaking.
"I don't know, but it looked really real for low-budget porn.", Kyle said.
He rewinded the tape and hit play again to take a closer look. As the tape played, Lisa and Kyle looked at each other with wide eyes.
"I think that's real.", Lisa said.
"Me too. I didn't think snuff films actually existed. We need to call the cops or something.", Kyle said.
Twenty minutes later, the Kyle and Lisa were explaining what they had seen to the police officers. They took the tape and left. Since they both had class in the morning, Lisa offered to pick Kyle up in the morning for class. He agreed, and Kyle left to go back to his apartment.
The next morning, Lisa parked in front of Kyle's apartment complex. He wasn't waiting outside as he should have been.
"If Kyle makes me late again, I'll kill him.", Lisa thought.
As she walked by the drainage ditch next to the driveway, the glint of metal caught her eye. As she came closer, she realized it was Kyle.
"Kyle? Kyle! What happened?", Lisa shouted as she jumped down into the ditch. Kyle's throat was slit from ear to ear. Lisa swallowed hard to keep her breakfast down. As she climbed back out of the ditch, she heard rustling to her left. She looked and saw a man in black from head to toe, wearing a ski mask. He held a bloody knife.
Lisa screamed and ran. The man gave chase. Lisa ran the four blocks to the police station faster than she'd ever run before. The man gave chase the entire time. Lisa burst into the police station, terrified and out of breath. Someone had followed her into the building. She turned around and saw a police officer with red hair walking towards her.
"Hey miss, are you all right?", he said.
"No. My friend's dead and I was chased and he's somewhere here and he's going to kill us all...", Lisa said.
"Calm down. No one's going to hurt you here.", the officer said.
Lisa was led to a waiting room. A man in a suit walked in and handed her a cup of water. She drank it.
Lisa woke up with a nasty headache. She was sitting in an armchair, and the lights above her were blinding. She blinked under their strong light. She heard shuffling and whirring in the background. She started to turn to look, but was too slow. Strong hands had grabbed her from behind. She felt the knife against her neck, and her last thought was of the video she had seen.
"Cut! That's a wrap! Good job, guys. This one's great.", the man in the suit said, walking onto the set.
The man in black peeled off his ski mask. He had red hair.
"How was that, boss?" he asked.
"Great! Too bad we couldn't get the other one on tape. And could someone clean this mess up? I've got a meeting to make." the man in the suit said, pointing at Lisa.
The man in the suit walked past the camera, and the bright lights went out as he left.
