(dramatic)
When, Master, when? What can I do
to prove I am worthy? To seek
revenge on all who has me out! To
do your bidding and feed you souls!
(Latin)
Give me a sign! Give me a sign!


You don't need "dramatic"

Give me a sign is a little worn - maybe use something like show me the path.

MOM!


Don't need - raw panic.

SUSAN
(crazed)


Don't need craze - I'll stop with that point here. But you have a lot of parentheticals that are not needed throughout the script.

Hey, I’m just letting you know
Susan Sanders didn’t make it. The
guard was DOA...I’m a little
freaked out, maybe... I can come
over and spend the night?


The above really threw me - a DA would ask to spend the night at a Judge's house?

Okay - other than the over use of parentheticals I thought the writing was pretty good. The story as a whole did not quite land for me but this isn't really my genre - it may land with others.
