ANOTHER WORLD 78
Kirkland shocks everyone with his announcement
BAY CITY CENTER
Grant is backstage with his Assistant preparing for press conference.
Assistant: I’ve just put the finishing touches on your announcement boss.
Grant: Thanks. I’ve been looking forward to this day. Have you seen Paulina?
Assistant: No sir.
Grant: I wonder where she is.

JACK SNYDER’S OFFICE
Toni Burrell walks in.
Toni: Jack.
Jack: Lieutenant. What’s going on?
Toni: I got approval. I’m taking a leave of absence.
Jack: Wow is everything okay?
Toni: I’m going to tend to my mother.
Jack: I hope everything is okay. We need ya here. You’re great to work with.
Toni: Thanks.
Toni walks outside of Jack’s office and places a phone call, and Paulina walks up behind her.
Toni: I’m coming down there. I’m gonna make sure they do their job, and find Evan’s killer, especially if Grant had something to do with it.
Paulina: Grant had something to do with what?

BACK AT BAY CITY CENTER
People file in taking their seats, as do Kirkland and Charlie.
Charlie: Your dad’s making his announcement today huh?
Kirkland (sarcastic): Yeah…good ole dad. If people knew what kind of a person he really is, I wonder if they’d vote for him.
Grant approaches the podium and the crowd applauds and pictures are taken.
Grant: Good afternoon everybody!

POLICE STATION
Toni: Paulina hi.
Paulina: Hi Toni. You mentioned Grant.
Toni: I was talking about his mayoral campaign.
Paulina: He’s making his announcement. I’m gonna get down there.
Toni: Really?
Paulina: I wanna support him.
Jack walks to the door and listens.
Toni: Why would you support Grant after he had you hooked on diet pills, and your house to go up in flames?
Paulina: I’ve forgiven him for it.
Toni: Wow. You a better woman than me.
Jack: Hey ladies.
Toni: I’m gonna…take off. I’ll be in touch Jack, okay.
Jack: Good luck with everything.
Jack and Paulina walk back into Jack’s office.
Paulina: Is she leaving or something?
Jack: She’s taking a leave of absence. Her mom is sick.
Paulina: Etta Mae? Oh my I hope she’s okay.
Jack: What brings you by?
Paulina: I actually came by…to talk about Grant.
Jack: Is everything okay with you two? I caught the last bit of what Toni said about him. About what he did to you. Is it true?
Paulina: Yes it is.
Jack: How could he have done that to you?
Paulina: I had gotten fat after I had Dante, and I wanted to lose weight.
Jack: He gave you diet pills, and you got hooked, and your house burned down?
Paulina: Yeah he supplied my pills, and it almost cost me my marriage, but he’s not that kind of person anymore.
Jack: Are you sure?
Paulina: He’s been very good to me, and my son since Joe was killed.
Jack: From what I hear, Joe was a very respected officer in this department.
Paulina: He was a good husband, and a great father. I miss him, but Grant has been there for us.
Jack: That’s good Paulina, but some people can act a certain way you know, and they really never change. Did he have a lot of enemies back then?
Paulina: Only one that I know of, but he’s dead.
Jack: Who?
Paulina: Carl Hutchins.

BAY CITY CENTER
Grant is at the podium as Kirkland and Charlie watch.
Grant: Great citizens of Bay City, it’s time for a change. Time for us to Bay City forward, time for a new voice, and a new perspective. I am formally announcing that I will be running for mayor of Bay City. I pledge to run an honest and fair police department, create jobs, improve our schools, and lure businesses to our great city. It’s time to make Bay City the dynamic place I know it can be. I’ll take questions.
Kirkland stands up.
Kirkland: I have one.
Grant is shocked but plays it off…
Grant: Kirkland! That’s my son everybody.
Kirkland: How can you…possibly think that you are gonna clean up Bay City…when you are the dirtiest person I know.
Grant (smiling nervously): I’m sorry I…don’t understand.
Kirkland: You don’t understand dad? Well let me help ya out. You’re a killer. You shot my Uncle Ryan to death! You pulled every trick in the book to take me away from my mother!
Kirkland looks around.
Charlie: Kirkland stop it!
Kirkland: Come on people, do you really want this guy running your city? He’s a heartless BASTARD who doesn’t deserve to run a candy store!
Grant: Remove him!
Kirkland: Is that any way to talk to your opponent? I’m running against you.
Grant: What?
Kirkland: I’m ALSO running for mayor of Bay City…and I’m gonna take your ass out.
The crowd reacts shockingly and reporters turn to Kirkland, stealing the spotlight from Grant.
Reporter #1: Mr. Harrison did we hear right? You are going to be Grant Harrison’s opponent? Your own father?
Kirkland: That’s right, I’ll be Grant Harrison’s opponent in the upcoming mayoral election.
