I typed this Summer of 2023. It was for a contest I entered where the subject was Ticking Clocks and had a photo of a bomb timer. I also had just started college to learn some about screenplay formatting. About all I have learned with teachers telling me wrong format and me asking what is the correct? For no answers.

Act 1
ACT 1
SCENE 1
INT. BANK, INSIDE – MORNING – GOOD MORNING
-In a city, about midday, a woman is going to the safe deposit boxes with an item.
-The customer has walked out.
-Another banker pauses when on the phone, lowering it slightly, and looks at his co-worker behind him and back at the customer. He is suspicious right away to hit a button below his desk and resume his conversation on the phone. His boss approached for him to cover the mouthpiece of the phone and whisper into the other man's ear pointing at the women going to the bank vaults and the women standing outside the bank who initiated the safe deposit box.
Right away security was signaled, and a call was made to the police department.
The woman walking to the safe deposit box was carrying a music box that she twisted the mechanism to hear it play a tune. Her boss started to run and shout toward her as she opened the safe deposit boxes. She turned, looking back knowing there was something wrong, and back at the door to the vault as it opened. The melody was playing still as she looked inside the safe deposit boxes’ room. Her boss and security reached her to halt her entering the room. The melody stopped.
*Tick*Tic*Tick*Tic*
-Everyone looked at the box, as the women held it out, hearing the noise. A sound was made from the box, for the woman to hold it near her face and…
*Tock*
The winding mechanism inside hit the final rotation and exploded!
The woman’s head was blown up with her upper torso and her boss had his ear blown off as he hit the ground. The security guards aimed their guns at the box and stepped back as they covered their faces and ducked from the explosion. The bank boss was on the ground cupping his ear in a fetal position frozen with uncertainty and an ear ringing.
Right away the guards turned around hearing screams and glass shatter.
ACT1
SCENE 2
INT. BANK, INSIDE – MORNING - ROBBERY
Back in the lobby, all the windows and doors were shot out as a group of people came inside with guns and empty bags; having ski masks on and bullet proof vests.
BOSS BOMBER
(Shouts)
In that corner! Now!
Most civilians complied, some hid and stayed frozen with their hands over their heads.
BANK ROBBER
Give us all the loot!
-The Bank robber shot the security exiting the hallway to the safe and deposit boxes.
-Two proceeded down the hallway as 3 others stayed holding the lobby. Police sirens could be heard for one to go outside fast and place sticky bombs. The main entrance, other exits around the bank, with 4 around the archway of the hallway leading to the vault.
The Boss Bomber is in the vault had stuck tiny bombs to all the deposit boxes as another placed others around the seal of the main safe door.
Both took cover in the hall holding one another and…
*Boom*
The walk in safe opened!
Rapid explosions on a smaller scale sounded, for all in the lobby held hostage to scream and cower hearing as the safe deposit boxes opened.
The bank manager had a gun pointed toward him as he regained hearing, sitting up.
ACT 1
SCENE 3
INT. BANK, INSIDE – BRUNCHTIME – GOOD VS EVIL
Police used a megaphone to speak to the robbers inside the bank.
POLICE
We have the building surrounded! Surrender now and face less penalties against the ones you already are committed for!
One of the robbers shouted out the main door, with broken glass.
BANK ROBBER
If you try to enter, I will blow the doors and kill everyone inside!
-Aubrey grabbed a civilian by the back of her clothes and shoved her out the door, and two of the robbers shot her in the head and back multiple times; killing her.
A few police fired as the robbers retreated inside to safety. A couple civilians began to wail as they were hit by police fire.
AUBREY
You just injured civilians, not us!
The police force was angered and saddened over the situation.
ACT 1
SCENE 4
INT. BANK VAULT – BRUNCHTIME – IN AND OUT
Everyone looked at and heard the bombs set up all around.
*Tick*Tic*Tick*Tic*Tick*Tic*
In the vaults, a man had filled many bags with more tossed to him by the other aiming their gun at the bank manager.
BOSS BOMBER
Get on up front! Or die here!
They shouted for him to stand, stumble, and hurry to the lobby where he dived covering his head and stopped. The other robbers in the lobby saw, to start moving down the hall, still aiming their weapons.
*Tick*Tic*Tick*Tic*Tick*Tic*
The group of robbers were all grabbing what was left of everything. One lowered himself for the other to sit upon his shoulders and place a bomb on the roof in the hallway. She was clearly female, hugged by the man assisting her when let off his shoulders. The ceiling was exploded for her to be sent up first and drop a rope down for the others to climb.
ACT 1
SCENE 5
INT. 2ND FLOOR OF BANK – BRUNCHTIME - GETAWAY
The 2nd floor had multiple bullets firing from a helicopter having S.W.A.T. soldiers. The robbers knocked a metal desk over and took cover. One stood fast and tossed a bomb, for another to trigger it and have it explode. In the chaos, the women had tossed a sticky bomb onto two of the main support beams. S.W.A.T. members exited the chopper to the 2nd floor of the bank and the helicopter flew off. They neared the team of robbers, walking between the main support beams.
*Tick*Tic*Tick*Tic*Tick*Tic*
*Tock*
*Boom*
The S.W.A.T. team hit the ground and covered themselves as the ceiling crumbled, with the floor beneath them after. The robbers climbed up to the rooftop firing at the chopper and tossing a couple bombs at it. The blades were damaged for the helicopter to spin out of control into another building exploding from the 2nd bomb and crashing.
Police bags to fire at them, to be shot down quickly by the robbers more skilled on shooting with better weapons.
ACT 1
SCENE 6
EXT. STREETS – BRUNCHTIME - CHASE
They dropped down from the rooftop and took off in a police vehicle. Others began to chase them, for bombs to be tossed, immediately exploding on impact and others on the road to cause the police to swerve off when exploding.
The robbers were clear of police to ditch the police car and steal another from a civilian. They drove off fast and escaped with all the loot; happy.
ACT 1
SCENE 7
EXT. BANK, OUTSIDE – PAST NOON – PROFESSIONALS
The entire bank is closed off and under caution tape. Police surveillance and guarded. A black car pulls up with two people, a man and women, exiting in suits.
Right away the woman looks around to state
CLAUDIA
Multiple bombs initiated on major pressure points and structures of doors…
-Jerry speaks into a microphone and earpiece walking inside.
JERRY
None used in the lobby. All bombs were used to divert attention and hit major points to their gain.
-Claudia places a bag around her shoulder and moves her hair to show her earpiece.
-Jerry takes photos using his glasses. Squatting down he puts on a glove from out of his briefcase to pick up part of a plastic tube.
JERRY
Homemade pipe bomb.
-Claudia scrapes some burnt rubber where a bomb had exploded into a jar with a sharp knife.
CLAUDIA
Sticky compound that disintegrated or melted by heat. No trace of prints possible.
ACT 1
SCENE 8
INT. BANK VAULT – PAST NOON – THE VAULT
They proceed down the hall to the vault. Each takes evidence that they can, placing into examination jars and bags. The man makes a scenario speaking aloud and reenacting the situation.
JERRY
Some of these were smoke bombs to create diversion and stealth, these here were meant to collapse, but didn’t.
He places a hand where the bombs were in the archway and then elsewhere.
JERRY
Blueprints for this type of walk in safe being wrong, intentionally to have the real pressure points here and here.
The woman was typing into a device connected with their recording and cameras.
CLAUDIA
Note to speak with the contractors, designer, and engineer of the vault and pull a report of schematics or black-market copies.
JERRY
They came in here.
He crouched near a safe deposit box to be eye level with one of the destroyed boxes.
JERRY
A chain reaction bomb set to trigger by button.
He looked to the left, to the right, up, and down. Standing up he turned around, took a step and examined all of them. The woman was in the next isle over sizing the holes.
JERRY
Specific boxes were set to detonate first.
The woman photographed the larger opening in her isle.
CLAUDIA
Nothing to relate 1st exploded boxes opened first to more valuable objects over others.
She looked up.
CLAUDIA
The wall safe is untouched. What’s in it?
BANKER
I am not at liberty to say.
-The man walked over to the man aggressively and sternly looking at him.
JERRY
open the safe! Jerry R. Larger special agent #1-27739-BK 88, I suggested you open that case now before I do so myself with a government issues equivalent bomb used here today and add to your damages list. Now, open the safe.
BANKER
Uhh… It takes more than one. The only others, one was killed during this, other injured, another on vacation, and…
The banker begins to explain sort of sweaty.
CLAUDIA
And you can re-set the electric combination by shutting down its direct power source separate from the rest of the bank and security systems.
The woman smiled to turn and nod at the man and walk off.
CLAUDIA
You two, with me.
She took two officers.
BANKER
Uh…
The banker hesitated
BANKER
Wait!
Jerry leaned in close
BANKER
I'll open it. If you promise to take me somewhere safe and my family.
JERRY
Explain.
Jerry crossed his arms recording the man with his glasses.
BANKER
One of our higher up bankers, under me, has been rather odd lately. Yesterday afternoon, I may have snuck into his office before he left. I knew he would use the bathroom before leaving. He had a client come in everyday this week. Except today. Dressed like a street tramp each time. I felt she had stolen valuables. He suddenly took off on vacation yesterday. The same lady came in to deposit a large amount of cash into an account, and today…
He pointed out one of the deposit boxes
BANKER
She wanted that music box in this. I will give all of her and his information. I honestly ran hers to not find any social media and P.O. box.
He handed the badge to Jerry and walked to the safe.
BANKER
This must be documented by the bank.
JERRY
Sir, the bank is under government command now and everything will be appropriately secured and moved to another bank after my partner and I finish our walk through.
The two place the keys into the wall safe and the Banker puts in a very long code to have his retinas scanned. The safe opens.
BANKER
I am glad this still remains. In fact, this safe belongs to the banks owner and main financer. I'm sure you’re all familiar with Madame V.
The banker opened the safe to show multiple gems, gold, money stacks, and antiques. He reached into another box and opened it with his fingerprint. He pulled out a priceless broach.
BANKER
Ma’dame found this on a dive to the Titanic. All her valuables can be authenticated. She left me in charge of this box. With it opened by my print. Leaving me paranoid, someone would try to steal it.
JERRY
Hence the witness protection.
BANKER
Right. I'm not sure why they didn’t just take these items. Madame V has not been notified, yet, as the owners of the other boxes. I think her happy face will be enough for some of our other clients.
CLAUDIA
I'm sure this will be on the 5 o'clock news. I'll send out officials to the next nearby locations to assist and keep calm. Please provide us with Madame V's contact information along with all the safe deposit boxes. Can you recall anything specific about box 10044?
Jerry took photos of the wall safe and its contents.
BANKER
Not off hand. I feel that row is designated for electronics. A golden cell phone case, floppy disks, CDs, flash drives, umm…
CLAUDIA
Flash drives?
BANKER
Oh yes. Photographers, businesses, nothing suspicious, we always check on a secured device. But…
The banker got to thinking
BANKER
10044?
He walked a couple isles over
BANKER
Did they mean to open 1004A?
He opened his vest to pull out all the duplicate safe deposit keys.
BANKER
I grabbed these as the explosions began from a secret place. Madame V insisted on having physical back up keys along with the key fobs. As she has hers for her wall safe. This happens to be her box.
He smiled and turned slightly red.
BANKER
Madame V is quiet a lady. She came in some months ago to deposit into her box, drunk as hell, to of gone to that box over there and not this one. Said, 1 line double zero for circles and a dick 4 A Madame as me. Seemed more funny at the time.
The box opened for another tube to be inside. Fingerprint locked; he handed it to Claudia.
BANKER
Take this to her. She said it was very important documents rolled up.
JERRY
Documents to the VVVViolaceous Empire.
BANKER
Yeah, that’s what she said.
JERRY
The VVVViolaceous Empire divides into multiple categories, each being fortune 500 worthy. I think these are what the bombers were after and missed. The rest is just easy money.
Claudia makes a phone call
CLAUDIA
Bring and escort for the banker and his family. Go ahead and send in the team to move everything. Jerry and I will take what's in the safe to our facility and begin our investigation. Thanks.
She hangs up to nod a Jerry.
ACT 1
SCENE 9
INT. EXT. SECURED BUILDING – NIGHTTIME - LABS
Jerry and Claudia drive to a secure lot. Badges shown at gate, vehicle check, iris's scanned to enter the building, followed by many locked doors and combinations. They use a flatbed cart to haul the contents of Madame V's wall safe into another safe. Lasers are initiated along with other security more advanced and highly deadly if crossed to protect it. The man and woman change into lab coats and examine all the items they collected, with footage provided by the bank.
CLAUIDA
Seems like they are knowledgeable in bombs, crafting and using, perhaps an ex-military or active solider.
JERRY
That or access to the information. I’m sure they have black market blueprints, causing the improper placement of support beams. Access to that, gives access to obtaining the items to make them. Now, to test them. I did a run on the warehouse the banker spoke of and it would not sustain a blast from any of these. All the windows were intact, but we still need to investigate it as soon as a warrant is issued.
CLAUDIA
The floor is solid concrete. No permits have been requested to add a basement or lower level. Doesn’t mean they hadn't. It’s near a body of water too. When I tested some of the sticky substances it was waterproof. Testing at night just a splash could be heard.
JERRY
Back to the black market, they could have bought them, pre-made, and smuggled them in as well. The vehicle they fled in, after abandoning the cop car, was reported to turn up hours ago.
Jerry looked at his watch.
JERRY
Damn. 5:15.
He looked at the TV screen for Claudia to turn it on. The News was speaking of the weather. Both continue to examine items and document research.
BECKY
National News! A major bombing was reported this morning. Bank of M, money, on the east side of town was robbed. Such a thing is not common today, but national security has jumped its demand on checks for everything. From airports, mailing services, and even your children at school, the state is going to be thoroughly subjected to search. Not all was released on what exactly happened, some casualties, many injured, and the assailants are still out there. The use of multiple bombs and firearms were used to break in and out. Emptying the safe deposit boxes, and walking out with millions of dollars cash. We will have more on this tomorrow! On the 5 o'clock news, with me. Now over to traffic cam.
JERRY
Oh Becky... Please don't try to pump me out for details on this.
Jerry took off his glasses and rubbed his forehead leaning elbows on the counter.
CLAUIDA
10th degree when you go home, huh?
Claudia smiled looking at Jerry.
JERRY
Claudia… I sware I love Becky, but our work is private. She knows anything bombs is us.
Jerry blankly looked at Claudia.
CLAUDIA
Opposites attract. Her inner girl wanted to be a reporter and a part of that is to ask as many questions as possible, possible.
Claudia smiled and squeezed fluids into a beaker.
JERRY
I know, but it’s the biggest thing I hate about her. Anytime I threaten to lock her up in jail for snooping through my stuff or over asking it's just an aphrodisiac for her.
Jerry turned on a small power saw to cut off pieces of the tubes and other bomb pieces to examine under the microscope and do other tests.
CLAUDIA
As a woman, I'd love that, butt guess it’s usually a pickup line for me to say, I can arrest a man for touching my briefcase. On the other hand, as a possessional I get the secrecy of our work. I’m just curious if you will- work late to avoid her or avoid her completely and check into a hotel. We can go to that warehouse first thing in the morning. If we have time visit Madame V.
JERRY
I haven’t decided. I already can tell these are the typical plastics, metals, and straps used for bomb making. I don’t have much to analyze. I say we contact Madam V first by phone to make sure she is even around. I know she had a famous yacht and cruise lines, fashion shows, movies all the glamor stuff.
CLAUDIA
And then ask for her autograph, as her biggest fan. You know a lot about her.
JERRY
Becky loves her stuff, and she is very well known for her generation. Thinking she may be a target or could just tell us who the bombers were and what they were after.
ACT 1
SCENE 10
EXT. MARINA – DAWN – OCEAN FRONT
The next day Jerry and Claudia parked near a marina. Out in the distance over the ocean is a large yacht. They walk down to the dock and a couple men are waiting for them. Each shows their government badge, and the men take them on a boat to the yacht. The name Violaceous was on the sides and back of it.
JERRY
S.S. Violaceous. Surprised she’s up at this hour.
ACT 1
SCENE 11
INT. EXT MADAME V’S YACHT – DAWN – THE HOT SHOT
Madame V ran out of her yacht to greet Jerry and Claudia to her yacht from her balcony.
MADAME V
(Flamboyant)
Ah! The Bomb Squad! Welcome, welcome! Come on aboard!
Madame V has a heavy mixed European accent and shouts from the highest point of the yacht. She is wearing a long fur coat with sunglasses and many accessories. Her hair blew in the wind with some of the coat, it was very windy today. They meet inside.
MADAME V
Ooo! You all look fabulous! As usual. I wouldn’t expect anything less by the government dress code. You would look better if being in my designs, of course! Ha! What’s this? Mmmmm, fresh meat! Let me have a look.
-She grabs Claudia by the wrist and pulls her to the center of the room. She walks around examining Claudia from head to toe. She lifts her hair, smacks her butt, and reaches her hand out for a shake.
MADAME V
My name’s Madame V!
CLAUDIA
I'm Claudia and this is my partner-
JERRY
Jerry!
-He used both hands to shake Madame V's hand,
JERRY
Madame V. VVVViolaceous Creations. You have so many products. Wow! My girlfriend is a fan. Maybe you know her? Becky on the 5 o’clock news.
CLAUDIA
This is a lovely Yacht. Is this your primary residence? I hear you're a hard woman to get a hold of. It’s early morning.
MADAME V
Oh darling, I live all over. I go wherever my heart leads me, or where I am needed. One of my best skills is looks, and honey, I love your look! I will recreate it for the world. Come, sit, drink, enjoy yourself and all I have to offer here.
Madame V claps and some guys with shirts off, robust, and wearing bow ties bring snacks and beverages.
MADAME V
I spoke with the bank and I’m glad none of my valuables were stolen. I'm also working on replacing anything lost to my clients. I don't want my people upset, I prefer smiles, smiles, smiles!
She stood up and leaned her hand open flat face up.
MADAME V
I know you have my stuff. There is one item in particular I know you brought and are eager to find out what's inside.
She raised an eyebrow looking down at Jerry who smiled.
JERRY
Your reputation proceeds you. Elegant, glamorous, and…
-He pulled the tube out if his briefcase to look up and place it in her hand
JERRY
Fierce.
-Madame V grabbed the tube and turned around raising her arms up boasting
MADAME V
Don't forget Genius too, honey!
She moved to a table and scanned her thumb to open the tube.
MADAME V
Ah! Come, come, don't be shy. I'm curious to know what you think.
-She waved the bomb expert agents over. They walked over. Madame V rolled out the document to show a schematic.
Claudia was first to speak at the Madame smiled.
CLAUIDA
This is a self-destruction sequence for a vault and security protocol. Only… what’s this?
She pointed to unknown sensors.
JERRY
These look like they emit fumes and fluids.
MADAME V
Yes! And the entire thing is triggered by human emotions and bodily fluids with pheromone projections!
-Madame V raised her hands in the air slowly in moving her body in seduction allure.
MADAME V
I don’t think people need to die, but if someone isn’t confident enough to break in. Right away they will be put to sleep, or smell like a skunk, or if all else fails
-She slammed her hands on the table.
MADAME V
Blown to smithereens! Ha!
JERRY
You know this is illegal?
MADAME V
Of course! Dat is vhy it is just a blueprint. Now vaht are you going to do to catch deese people?
Jerry and Claudia look at one another. Claudia speaks up
CLAUDIA
After some more investigating; we’ll decide. I get the feeling they had been after this. If you could tell us more, maybe another person you told?
MADAME V
I know my phone are always tapped, and I did run it by a few friends. I'm sure they blabbed. Very well, I will tell.
Madame V snapped her fingers to have a notebook handed to her and she began writing.
ACT 1
SCENE 12
EXT. INDUSTRIAL SECTION – AFTERNOON – THE PRIME
Later that day Jerry and Claudia drive to the warehouse. They each get out and take their suit jackets off. Going to the trunk, they put on holsters and guns with some other gear. Their jackets are placed back on.
-They walk around the building examining and recording.
JERRY
Seems like a basic warehouse. Earlier attempts to enter from police force had been refused by a caretaker. Standard emergency exits, cargo door, and just the main entrance. Security cameras at all standard positions.
Jerry recorded with his glasses for Claudia to point.
CLAUDIA
Look at the glass in that window. Completely shattered.
She looked on the ground to pick up a piece of glass from a pile.
CLAUDIA
This is by explosion. The inside is even cracked. If I just…
-She squeezed it for it to turn to glass dust.
-Jerry drags his foot across the ground to smear glass about.
JERRY
This must have been from an explosion.
He looked around at the exterior
JERRY
But some of these walls are intact. I wouldn’t see a reason to test smaller concentrated bombs, like the ones on the safety deposit boxes on their own windows.
CLAUDIA
Perhaps they have double sides walls and forgot the windows inside?
JERRY
Most likely, but why not put the extra into the windows?
CLAUDIA
Make note to contact the police officers who have been here prior and ask if these windows were intact or not at the time of their visit.
ACT 1
SCENE 13
EXT. INDUSTRIAL SECTION – PAST NOON- THE JANITOR
Both flinched when they heard the lid of a dumpster slam. A hundred feet away across from the warehouse they were at a man began to toss bags of trash out.
-Claudia nodded in gesture to move that way. The man noticed them to ignore at first throwing a bag and then see them approaching to set down the next one in hand.
His hands raised with nervousness
JANITOR
(Hesitant)
Uh, look. I don’t want any trouble. I'm just a janitor here. When I see suits and guns- I get nervous. Especially anyone from there. I know, no trespassing. I'm sorry. I will never toss excesses trash in your dumpster again. I told you that last week.
JERRY
Relax.
CLAUDIA
Dumpster? I didn’t see any dumpster.
Claudia looked behind them to see where they were standing have a light discolored outline in the shape of a dumpster.
-Jerry reached into his inner pocket to pull out a wad of cash.
He opened it to have a couple thousand dollars in $100 bills. The janitor’s eyes widen and he froze with his mouth slightly open.
JERRY
Look. Off the books here, I'm guna give you, say- $500 to tell me about this dumpster and people.
-He handed 5 bills to the guy who just starred at them in his own hand.
JERRY
And I have more if you give us anything else useful.
CLAUDIA
Know my name is Claudia Brellkin #1-27005-BK 96. And my partner and I were just walking around the building as you did your job just as you do every day here. Nothing more, nothing else. Two strangers you had no business with.
JANITOR
Uh- right!
The janitor closed his hand to shove the money into his pocket.
JANITOR
I work in this Juice factory here, you see. Some macho Johnny Juice or whatever for health nuts with veggies and vitamins. Most are private buyers, and the owners like to party. A birthday for employees, personal events, just a rainy day, they party and there is so much trash. I’m not complaining about the strippers, but those cardboard cakes are a mess. Every Tuesday we get our shipments of food for the plants, bugs, and ourselves inside. That with whatever staff party they had. The dumpster was too full one day. I know they rarely use theirs across the way and decided to take all the alcohol bottles. As soon as I opened the dumpster an alarm went off. A woman began to scream at me from the loudspeaker over the main door there.
(He pointed)
And soon after some men were gathered around me. I never had that happen in the past before, but I rarely see anyone go in or out of that place. That particular day, I was here late. I don’t have my car right now, due to mechanical problems, and was waiting for her. I was sitting, right there on those steps leading to this area and they had moved the dumpster onto a boat. My wife showed up and as we were driving off, I swore we both heard an explosion of a sort. Being down the road some I looked in the side mirror to see nothing, but... it’s a sound and feeling I will never forget.
JERRY
Sudden noise, loud, makes your insides tremble and feel safer to move away from?
The man shook his head yes.
CLAUDIA
Could you give us a description of these people? The boat? Anything at all?
JANITOR
I could show you the security footage we have. I do more than just clean, sort of the butler for this place.
JERRY
Perfect.
-Jerry pulled off a couple more hundreds from his wad of cash and handed them to the janitor. He looked to Claudia.
JERRY
You go and see if they give the same denial the officers received before. By them we can both enter or meet up.

Claudia pushed the buzzer near the main entrance. She knew the security camera was on her and zoomed in more. Soon the main entrance of the warehouse opened.
CLAUDIA
Hi!
Right away she spoke, not allowing the man at the door to speak,
CLAUDIA
My name’s Claudia. This is quite the building you have here. I was looking around at real-estate and curious about the area. I know you have a juicer place across the way, clothing next door, and some packing plants all around. As of this place... I can't seem to figure out what this establishment is. It's perfect for what I have planned, maybe your owner is interested in selling? The direct line to the water is very promising for my use.
The man looked away to nod and then open the door fully and gesture her inside.
CLAUDIA
Thanks. I did walk around with my colleague prior to this, did you know you have broken windows on your West side? What happened? Was there a storm recently? I'm not a native of the state.
She was inside a main entrance with seating and a secretary. The man gestured her to sit.
CLAUDIA
Alright. I can see my words and goal are for those beyond your pay grade. I shall wait. Please know my colleague will be here shortly.
ACT 1
SCENE 15
INT. FACTORY – DUSK – INSIDE
Some time passed and Jerry entered the building. He didn’t say much, to be allowed in right away. Sitting next to Claudia, he squeezes the corner of his glasses while speaking to Claudia in a close lean.
JERRY
why are they making us sit here? I have initiated new log. I can't wait to show you what I just saw.
Both flinched as a door opened and group of people entered with the others in the room standing up to face.
BANK ROBBER
I hear you’re looking to buy…
He snapped standing center of a group of men, turning around, speaking
BANK ROBBER
this way…
Jerry and Claudia stood up fast. Claudia hurried forth first and Jerry shoved a man
JERRY
(Dominatingly)
Move brah!
BANK ROBBER
I see your college is not a push over.
CLUDIA
(Boasting)
He's easy. I actually anticipate a great conversation with you. I'm with him all the time. This area seems to have more than what it shows. I'm for the best of a dollar. We may have one intention, but that has never stopped me from a new investment! Ha! Right!
-She looked about raising her hand
CLAUDIA
Aw… no cheers, no glasses, I don’t even see a bar. Please!
She stopped walking to place fingertips about her face with Jerry moving forth beyond. She took a deep breath and looked forward.
CLAUDIA
Keep it chill. I need a drink, before, after, drinking, and top-notch of deal! No matter what!
Jerry giggles some to stop covering his mouth. A couple minions aimed guns at him, and he reached into his suit coat pocket to pull out a flask and hand it to Claudia; glaring left to the right, Jerry put fear into some fully watching him.
BOSS BOMBER
Here you go Madame…
CLAUDIA
Finally!
-Claudia grabs the flask to chug a good portion of.
BOSS BOMBER
May I know why I am here?
Jerry stood up to face the boss face-to-face, as a guard of Claudia.
BOSS BOMBER
(HE steps away evading)
I am not a fan of butler lower end shit. If this is all you need of me… I have those needing me outside of here. Make your paid dudes earn their paychecks and let me go.
The bank robber, the owner of the building began to laugh! He grabbed his center, bending halfway, and stood up with such an smile.
BANK ROBBER
Please! This way!
He gestured Jerry and Claudia forward. Claudia and Jerry smiled at one another to high five and walk forward simultaneously behind the boss leader.
BANK ROBBER
I like you two. Different of the past to intrude about.
JERRY
What do you mean by intrude?
-The bank robber gestured for lights to turn on, exposing the whole warehouse. All about a variety of weapons and bomb elements were visible.
BANK ROBBER
You say you seek real-estate. What could you want with this square footage in a remote industrialized area of the city and outskirts?
-Claudia watched Jerry examining all about and stepped forth to let him keep recording by his glasses. To speak to the owner of the building and keep him distracted.
CLAUIDA
Along the ocean is easy for exports. I get that you are wanting me to ask what is here already.
-Claudia turned to the side, hugging herself, with an eyebrow raised in influence and flirtation
CLAUIDA
I will not expose my business willingly. If you sell as is, no question asked, easy. But!
Claudia moved her arms from crossed to her hips, forward stanced.
CLAUIDA
I will not buy, without knowledge. Buyer needs to know seller’s reason to move.
JERRY
Remember that.
(Whispers)
She’s a woman who gets what she wants.
Jerry made quotation marks with his hands. To stand talking loudly talking to about the factory with his voice echoing.
JERRY
Strip club! Where more prostitutes equal one patron over others being 10x’s plus income of alcohol.
CLAUDIA
YES!
Claudia smiled and Jerry snapped as she pointed at Jerry. Together they do a weird handshake.
CLAUDIA
I will admit, I need your guidance here! Do we accept or walk away? I have no idea what you do or seek of us…
BANKER ROBBER
As I the same.
ACT 1
SCENE 16
INT. OFFICE – NIGHTTIME – DEALS
The bank robber walks away with others following and Jerry with Claudia who look at one another for a moment eagerly.
BANKR ROBBER
You show up stating purchase of the area. Yet… a part of me feels not exactly, and you reassure to be easy sale from one to another.
He sat down at a desk and turned his chair to face Claudia.
BANK ROBBER
You talk like the kind I deal with. Let's do business. Take a seat.
-Claudia looked at Jerry, for him to pull the chair out across the desk of the owner, and she scooted to sit down, rotate, and face the boss.
CLAUDIA
I'm seeking land for my benefit.
-Claudia slid her index finger across the edge of the desk, gazing, and looking up with just eyes at the boss.
CLAUDIA
What we do is not legal, or common. I will just up-front-state…
-Her finger lifted off the surface as she raised it and placed into her mouth to suck, kiss, and the point.
CLAUDIA
Can this premise accommodate?
Many look about and question. The owner glared right into Claudia’s eyes and smiled leaning across the desk.
BANK ROBBER
I feel we can provide. I have a certain goal nearly finished. Perhaps you can help procure it.
Claudia stood up and slammed both her hands down on the desk looking into the leader’s eyes.
CLAUIDA
I do not help procure! I will take hold property and whatever falls against you is not my fault!
BANK ROBBER
OKAY!
-The leader gestured his hands and gestured her to sit down.
BANK ROBBER
I can sell you this place for short-sale. I have no need of it any more. As long as my traces are gone.
CLAUDIA
Traces... I am good with doing that. Done.
Claudia showed no fear, still standing, to hold her hand down in a shake to the leader.
CLAUDIA
Verbal or by words, I have a notary I can send for the official papers.
Her eyebrows raised glaring with no fear. The leader smiled and shook her hand.
BANK ROBBER
As is; empty. I will arrange the next line of our deal. Come back in a week or two.
-Claudia grabbed his hand to shake hard. She starred directly into his eyes, looking down at him more as she stood and he sat.
BANK ROBBER
Get out of here before I have my non-called in people to remove.
CLAUDIA
Oooo! I like that!
The owner smiled and shook her hand to pull her close to himself as he stood and look down at her, being taller.
BANK ROBBER
Let's make this a deal of the century!
Claudia squeezed his hand as hard as possible, unafraid being face-to-face eye contact.
CLAUDIA
A deal of the century? Or gain of the superior?
-She shoved him away, with Jerry stepping between
CLAUDIA
I have Jerry here. And let’s keep it that way. I know how you types tend to work. Money is money.
Claudia walked out of the office pulling Jerry by his shirt with her. They exit the factory and drive off.
Act 2
ACT 2
SCENE 17
INT. CAR – NIGHT – DRIVE HOME
The bomb experts, Jerry and Claudia, did their best to keep up appearances talking with the factory owner(I use that phrase often being one of my mom's fav shows when I was growing up she has on DVD, very into British TV in my youth, and Jerry and Claudia being like Mulder and Scully of X-Files of my dad’s choice) and eventually left.
They were handed a contract
-Claudia grabbed the wrist of the woman handing it across the desk to them, for the factory owner, to snatch it out of her hand with the other. They walked out. Claudia shoved it in Jerry's chest, for him to take and begin to read over and send footage of his glasses to their database.
In the car
CLAUDIA
I feel they are 100% who did it. That woman… peh!
She smiles and looked out the window as they exited the run of industrial buildings
CLAUDIA
I know I'm a woman, and not catty, but she had fake hair-
She looked at Jerry who was driving
CLAUDIA
Caked on make-up, and overall, both her and that boss guy had facial expressions of-
-She leaned forward in her seat to mock and use her hands gesturing air quote-like
CLAUDIA
You guys are suckers! We got you!
She sat back in her seat to tap Jerry on the shoulder glancing at him,
CLAUDIA
But in the end we got them, right! Ha!
She laughed and Jerry did slightly.
JERRY
That contract was very unclear in the fine print. I read an area claiming us as sole proprietors of selected land by purchase of the building.
Jerry glanced at Claudia to keep his eyes in the road afterwards.
JERRY
There's no land around. A clause of persons on site to be claimed of events. That’s just bogus hogwash for dead bodies or murder.
CLAUDIA
Kay! We both agree! These are our bad guys. Now- why? Is what we need to go forth with more or… catch them.
Claudia looked at the clock and temperature.
CLAUDIA
Ugh. I just got a chill, and I see, under 60. I'm cold. We spent hours in there. I didn’t expect the sun to be down.
JERRY
Me neither. Becky wanted a special night-
-Claudia turned on the climate control to 72 by one dial
CLAUDIA
But you didn’t want to give her details about our case she blabbed about to everyone publicly on the news.
She looked at Jerry cockily smiling.
CLAUDIA
Right?
Jerry sighed
JERRY
Yeah…
ACT 2
SCENE 18
EXT. STREET – NIGHT – RIGGED
They didn’t drive far, for Jerry to come to a stop light. Both right away heard a non-common noise and glared at the clock between them on the dash. Simultaneously, they looked at one another speaking,
JERRY AND CLAUDIA
Thermobaric.
-Jerry put the car in break, as Claudia opens the glove box and center console to take stuff. Jerry got out fast and popped the trunk to overlook their items.
-Claudia got out fast to run and toss everything to a curb and pull out her handgun shouting,
CLAUDIA
Everyone! Clear the area!
-She pulled out her badge.
CLAUDIA
Special agent! A bomb is in the area!
She aimed her gun at the car behind there’s and repeated.
CLAUDIA
Special Agent, a bomb is in the area. Out now! Or drive!
She looked at the light and intersection and gestured them to go, they drove off fast.
-Jerry began to run with a duffle bag off one shoulder and an arm full of other items in the other, as if a football player running for touchdown.
A couple things fell out of his arms to keep going.
-Claudia hurried to the center of the stop light and held her badge up a certain way with a special reflector to cause the lights to change all red.
Next, she hurried to the businesses around, most people were gathering to see the commotion.
CLAUDIA
Special agent! A bomb has been detected! Save yourselves!
She looked around inside a dinner.
CLAUDIA
Or hold these tables up along the windows and move the children away!
-She ran to the next place.
CLAUDIA
Get out! Out now! Run! A bomb will go off soon!
Jerry ran out into traffic a block down intentionally to halt traffic. A car nearly hit him, for him to pull out his badge and flash it.
JERRY
Move along! Live are at stake!
He forced the lights to go red. Claudia looked down to see Jerry and then the other two directions. Where there car was stopped people started to make u-turns away.
-She started to run a direction of the intersection and dived hitting the ground as their car exploded!
It set off a chain reaction to nearby streetlights and electrical wiring and vehicles parked on the street or stopped.
-Jerry began to run to Claudia watching. He stopped and dived, covering his duffle, when a car was on fire slightly, landing nearby, to be delayed of exploding.
He was relieved of the minor effects to not reach his bag.
Another car lands near Claudia for others to fly into the air of the explosions set off.
Claudia pushed herself up and looked around at the burning fires all around. She looked at her phone, using her eyes to open it by eye iris.
Fireman, police, and ambulance were on the way. She still requested a government team to their location and diverting traffic and holding witness. In minutes the intersection and next blocks were all shut down.
Jerry dropped his duffle by Claudia’s feet as she starred at the engine of their car, now in the middle of the intersection.
JERRY
One of those moments I get a slap, not letting you be paranoid to check over.
CLAUDIA
Explosives using oxygen and heat…
JERRY
They didn’t get this stuff at least.
Jerry walks to the trunk and smiling.
JERRY
The C4 is still good. I know this explosion could have been less if I could of took out chemicals, but-
CLAUDIA
Taking what you did saved this road from being replaced and filled in.
Claudia walked to Jerry.
CLAUDIA
I’m ready for payback.
-She slammed the trunk shut, for it to pop back open of being singed and melted.
CLAUDIA
I know revenge is not allowed.
She turned around and hugged herself clenching her jaw as she spoke.
CLAUDIA
We need to bring them down! All the evidence we can get!
She pulled out her gun to fired it into the air.
CLAUDIA
Damn these people! We're better than them!
Jerry placed a hand on her shoulder, Claudia turned around relaxing.
JERRY
We are better than them. You may have a moment of proper payback and we will put them away.
They both looked at a man opening the diner door, with glass shattered, glass falling on the ground breaking more.
JERRY
You did good! There are no casualties.
Claudia looked down at the ground and put her gun away, taking a deep breath.
CLAUDIA
Yeah…
She started to walk back to the engine looking at the deployed bomb.
CLAUDIA
We were cops first. To serve and protect. Not revenge and regret.
ACT 2
SCENE 19
EXT/INT. BECKY’S HOME – NIGHTIME - COUPLES
Jerry pulls up to a home and gets out of a car. When he shuts the door a woman looks out the window seeing him and smiles, but confused the car drives off and was rideshare. She opens the door as he walks up and they hug.
BECKY
What’s going on? Where's your car?
JERRY
Becky? It’s all over the news.
-Jerry took off his shoes.
She ran to her phone sitting on the kitchen counter and saw multiple messages from her work.
BECKY
Damn!
-Jerry walked in smiling. She looked up at him.
BECKY
I was binge watching a show. My day off. You know I like weekend news broadcasting.
JERRY
Have you ate?
-Jerry opened the fridge to pull out a drink.
Becky wrapped her arms around his chest standing behind him and stood on her tip toes to speak into his ear.
BECKY
We can get take-out and you can tell me all about what happened and stay in.
JERRY
Trying to bribe me for information?
BECKY
I was a reporter before an anchor. It’s in my nature. Not often I’m dating an inside source.
Becky spoke as Jerry turned around to kiss her.
ACT 2
SCENE 20
INT. LABS – CONTINUOUS – LABWORK
The next day Claudia and Jerry are in the lab. Their car had been brought in for them to examine the bomb. Later, they review their research of the factory they were at and the people they met.
JERRY
I can't find any legit backgrounds for anyone, and the contract given to us is 100% bogus.
Jerry is looking at a computer and Claudia is running simulations of where the dumpster used to be.
CLAUDIA
There wasn’t any sign of burning. I would say an explosion definitely shattered the windows. Without seeing the dumpster itself its hard to say exactly what happened. Perhaps a panic and they tossed it in to shut the lid. There are pieces of the latch in your recording walking across the street here.
JERRY
I think we should call the city about their dumpster missing.
CLAUDIA
Good idea. While you do that, I think I’ll fallow up on that janitor to make sure he’s okay. I'm sure they saw us on camera.
The two make phone calls and continued with their data analysis.
ACT 2
SCENE 21
INT. CAR2 – NIGHTIME - LEADS
Jerry and Claudia are in a car. Claudia is driving this time and Jerry stares out his window on the passenger side tapping his fingers on his forehead with his elbow on the door.
JERRY
I don't like this. Doesn’t seem right.
Jerry turned his head slightly to look at Claudia.
CLAUDIA
I'm right there with you.
She looked at her fuel gage, it was near empty.
CLAUDIA
I want them to try and rig this car. I got a ride for us waiting if we need it. I trust Madame V's lead for us, but at the same time, it’s highly suspicious the janitor went missing and his phone's location was last nearby our destination.
JERRY
I got us permission to use full assault and combat no matter what. There was a long list of suspicious activity by police at this place and the claimed owners with its employees.
CLAUDIA
A King's Ransom- seems like a cool club to hit the floor.
Claudia spoke looking at her GPS switch to their destination at A King's Ransom as next.
Jerry smiled to relax his arm off the door and lean on the center console looking at Claudia.
JERRY
But a king's ransom is a vast fortune! Translate it and it’s quite the bomb!
They laugh.
CLAUDIA
I love that you're my partner! I hated the guy I worked with back in Denver. Easy work too, mostly old mining bombing type of stuff and mountain construction. Never the avalanche cause by some crazed lunatic seeking to destroy a ski resort and save the day.
JERRY
Same. Even Becky says she likes you a lot and gets there is nothing intimate between us. I may not be able to share her insight or finish sentences as I do with you, but I get we are two of the same plant and Becky and I are two halves to make a whole.
CLAUDIA
Aw… I love you to Jerry. And I want you to marry Becky. You should tell her that.
JERRY
I have… kind of. Maybe not exactly that. I have been considering it. I'd want you as my best man though, so it’s confusing that way.
ACT 2
SCENE 22
EXT. PARKING LOT – NIGHTIME – PARKING
Claudia licked her lips pulling into a parking lot showing a $20 day and $50 night fee sign.
Jerry pulled out his wallet and rolled down the window as Claudia waited for the car in front to pay and be let in.
One of the valet guys speaks to Jerry at his window.
MISC
$50 for the night, $100 valet and V.I.P.
Jerry handed the man a $50 and a $10.
JERRY
Here you go my man! I got her to park it for me.
He winked at the guy with a slight head nod.
JERRY
Think tonight’s going to be poppin’? The parking lot seems empty.
MISC
I just work the parking lot.
The man took the cash and stepped away from the car and pointes for them to drive in.
ACT 2
SCENE 23
INT. CLUB – NIGHTIME – CLUBIN
Claudia and Jerry walk up to the club. Bouncers watch them as others open the doors.
-Claudia unbuttons her shirt to show her chest as she enters the club with Jerry who rolls up his sleeves.
Both had on white button up long sleeves and suit pants to leave their jackets in the car. Each had a gun strapped to their ankles.
-Jerry threw cash down at the ticket counter without stopping and Claudia pushed open the next set of two double doors. Loud music was playing. (2 baddies, NCT 127 started playing on my TV as I typed that, so this song https://youtu.be/FRilMXZqNhA )
They stepped in to stop at a railing between two bouncers. Claudia began to sway as they both examined the room. Jerry pointed to a V.I.P. booth with more bouncers and couches with a group of people playing cards. Claudia tapped his shoulder to point at the bar to see a man covered in jewelry with a stack of money on the counter and women all around. They both looked at the dance floor to flinch some and look at each other and back at the floor.
A woman, the woman from the video footage at the bank was dancing. Jerry reached his hand out to Claudia in gesture to dance, for show, as some security and bouncers looked at them. Jerry started to bob his head guiding Claudia to the dance floor downstairs and a ramp. Claudia started to dance more and more with her eyes shut. Jerry spun her around and they caught the attention of the woman on the dance floor.
The woman was pissy, seeing people watch Claudia as she dances close to Jerry feeling him up and backed away crumping. The woman tapped her on the shoulder. Claudia turned around to keep dancing. She bit her lip as the woman started to dance with her. Claudia backed up to Jerry and started to grind him. The woman became jealous to step beside them and put an arm over Jerry's shoulder under his chin and dance by him.
Jerry pulled out cash and handed it to Claudia. She took it and raising her eyebrows shrugging.
CLAUDIA
If you say so.
Barely heard over the music. She turns around to start dancing wild, moving her hair about much, and moving away.
AUBREY
Is that your bitch? I want to buy you a drink.
Jerry took the hand of the woman and stepped away, facing her, and kissed her hand.
JERRY
I need a drink. You can join me. That’s my secretary, Stacy. She does what I say and I pay her bills. Let’s go get that drink.
AUBREY
Stacy seems nice.
The woman grabbed Jerry’s shirt to twist a clump of his hair by her finger leaning her body up close to him.
AUBREY
I don’t play nice with women.
They walked off. The woman placed her head on Jerry's shoulder and arm wrapped around his waist.
Claudia pulled out her phone to take selfies pretending to be social media driven and getting photos of the woman with Jerry.
Jerry pulled out his phone as a message went off and opened it. It was of Claudia, but the name said Stacy and the text read, having a blast! Going to the bar! I have the keys! And a photo was sent.
The woman was jealous of the photo having guys looking at her in the background. She tapped the home screen and camera button,
AUBREY
Why don't we take a picture! You should tag the place and see what happens when I’m in it.
JERRY
I'm not a social media guy, but…
He stepped away from the woman after the photo and put his phone in his pocket.
JERRY
Keeping track of the women in my life is… essential, in my life. Still want that drink?
They go to one of the bars.
Claudia saw them approaching the bar. A few men were all dancing with her on the dance floor.
Aubrey made a couple move and the bar tender seemed scared. Sitting at the corner of the bar, Jerry pulled out the stool to make the woman sit back towards the dance floor and Jerry could look at her and the rest of the club.
Claudia stopped dancing. A man she was dancing with stopped to
MAN/MISC
What’s wrong?
Claudia leaned up and kissed the guy with a hand behind his head.
CLAUDIA
I need a potty break! Do you know where the bathrooms are? I feel I need a buddy to not get lost.
The man was frozen for a moment after the kiss. He watched Claudia’s butt as she turned around and walked off.
MAN/MISC
Yes! Wait! This way.
The man escorted Claudia to the bathrooms.
Claudia swayed her body smiling and gently scratched his chest in an S shape.
CLAUDIA
I'll try not to fall in. But, I'll be back. I promise.
ACT 2
SCENE 24
INT. BATHROOM – NIGHTIME – POTTY TALK
Claudia went into the bathroom. Right away she opened her phone to run a scan of the building with special government apps. Standing in a line, she made sure to face awkwardly and her screen not scene.
A group of women were all gathered at the sinks gossiping
CLUB WOMAN 1
Can you believe Aubrey is here?
CLUB WOMAN 2
Alone!
-The woman is applying lipstick.
CLUB WOMAN 3
I heard, a recent transaction failed and she’s nervous over.
CLUB WOMAN 1
Aubrey’s never been to the club this many times alone. My brother, you know he regulars here.
-She began to fix her hair looking at herself in the mirror.
CLUB WOMAN 1
I may hate the trout, but he makes so much money. She goes for that right away, but never him.
CLUB WOMAN 3
You’re right!
-Washing her hands started to air dry them.
CLUB WOMAN 3
I saw your brother the other night. She was taking shots with him. I know one of the employees I hooked up with here once said she was going to do something big.
CLUB WOMAN 2
And then she failed!
CLUB WOMAN 3
I think I have a chance! I'm guna try tonight, again, to get in at the crowd.
They all were together fixing their hair. Claudia scrunched her face watching them take photos in the mirror together as she took their photos.
CLUB WOMAN 2
I believe in you! You can do it!
Another pulled away gasping and looking at her
CLUB WOMAN 1
Oh my God! This is the perfect time! You have more money, my brother loves you and could market whatever junk, but if you took over this club!
-The center slapped the women speaking to turn the other direction and slap the other boasting of her rule
CLUB WOMAN 3
Don't forget this is her territory. A praise like that gets you trouble.
She turned to look at herself in the mirror leaning on the sink by hands.
CLUB WOMAN 3
Don’t forget what happened to me when I challenged her.
She shifted her eyes to look at her girls.
CLUB WOMAN 3
I love you all and don’t want that on you.
CLUB WOMAN 1 AND 2
Awwwwww!
-Claudia stepped out of the first stall to wash her hands.
CLAUDIA
You wouldn’t be talking about a woman, dance floor, center crowd, takes man showing up with me, boss of sort to-
She pulled out a couple hundred-dollar bills.
CLUAIDA
My boss gave me some drinks and gossip money.
The women all had open eyes to have one take a bill.
CLUB WOMAN 1
I can get us a table. My brother has one and he's not here tonight.
CLAUDIA
Great!
CLAUDIA
First rounds on me! Dish, dish, dish, please!
The women all hurried out of the bathroom. Claudia ran to the man waiting for her and whispered into his ear. She handed him some cash and went off with the women.
They went to a V.I.P. table on the 2nd floor that overlooked the club. Walking up the stairs, Claudia saw Jerry talking to the woman and not able to see her as the decorations of the bar covered the area rising above to the other V.I.P. section. They were sat next to the table of men playing poker Jerry pointed out when walking in.
ACT 2
SCENE 25
INT. BAR – NIGHTIME – BAR TALK
Jerry takes a few shots with Aubrey.
AUBREY
You never told me your name.
-Jerry grabbed her hand and cupped it over his finger and stroked the back of it.
JERRY
Ladies first.
AUBREY
My friends call me Bre.
JERRY
I wouldn’t say we're friends, but you can call me Jack.
Jerry’s alias. (Some didn’t understand calling Claudia Stacy previously as alias. Undercover, good cop bad cop story-like)
-Jerry took a drink of his beverage.
JERRY
Jack Sterile. I'm an investment banker with an office on the upside of town.
Aubrey smiled drinking the rest of her drink through a straw.
AUBREY
I like guys with money. I happen to be a regular here and never seen you before.
She looked at the bartender who was tapping his chin with the side of his index finger. She sat up and said.
AUBREY
Yes! Nope, never saw you in here before.
She started to dance in her chair, raising her arms up
AUBREY
But I do feel like if you’re a high roller we belong over there.
-She pointed. Jerry looked across the dance floor to the upper level and saw Claudia clinking shots with the group of women. Aubrey had pointed behind the bar and gestured with a fierce face to the bartender. She stopped and returned to smiling as Jerry looked back at her.
JERRY
What sort of high rollers come through here. I see a poker game going on, I'd be into that.
AUBREY
Those are just commoners. I feel you could probably throw down with the exclusives. They aren’t here tonight.
-Aubrey hands him another drink.
JERRY
I still have my beer. You have that. My nights just getting started. What makes them so exclusive?
AUBREY
Oh you know...
-She chugged the drink.
AUBREY
The sort who come in not with their real names, avoiding direct conversations, and throwing down money left and right.
-Jerry took a big drink of his beer emptying half the glass. He sat it down looking at the counter.
AUBREY
Oh my! Stupid me.
Aubrey grabbed her head and leaned forward with another hand on her stomach. To stand up
AUBREY
Too much, too fast. I'll be back.
JERRY
(Chuckling to himself)
women, right?
He turned around to the bar looking for the bartender and saw he was the only one at the bar.
ACT 2
SCENE 26
INT. CLUB – NIGHTIIME - BOOM
Jerry’s face went blank as the music quieted between songs. Very faintly he heard,
*tic*tick*tick*tic*tick*tic*
-He spun the stool around and stood up fast to leap.
*Tock*
Boom!
The corner of the bar explodes. All the alcohol bottles shattered and caught fire for the kegs underneath to erupt next. Many in the crowd began screaming and fleeing. Water sprinklers were set off.
-Jerry rolled over and stood up to dive behind a half wall when bullets began to fire at him. He pulled out his gun from his ankle strap and fired at a guy stepping to his side. Another right after went down. He leaned around looking to take cover when bullets hit the wall.
Claudia stopped cowering with the girls to pull out her gun and fire at two men on the upper level. She pulled out an ST grenade from her bra and stood on the table aiming at the high rollers who all had their guns out.
CLAUDIA
Stay out of this or this ST grenade is yours to deal with.
The group and their goons sat down. She hopped off the table to fire down at men at the main entrance, just as Jerry also fired working together. To be sure, Claudia turned around aiming at the group of men with guns to keep them back. She made her way down the stairs and met up with Jerry.
JERRY
You got the STs?
CLAUDIA
Yeah! Here!
-Claudia hands him the grenade from her hand and pulled out a second to fake toss at the balcony in threat to the men. She fired at a man coming from backstage.
-Jerry triggered the grenade and tossed it at a set of double doors leading to the back rooms.
ACT 2
SCENE 27
INT. BACK HALL – NIGHTTIME – TEAMWORK
-Both walked back-to-back with a couple more men coming out from the stage area. The smoke cleared to the backrooms and they entered a hallway.
CLAUDIA
Hold it!
Claudia pointed for a bunch of smoke detectors on the walls and ceiling.
JERRY
That’s a lot of smoke detectors.
Jerry fired at one and it exploded. They each fired at them all to be miniature bomb.
JERRY
Probably on walk by sensors to set. How much you wanna bet these doors have triggers if we open them?
They both heard footsteps coming from behind to turn around and shoot out a group of men.
CLAUDIA
That or something bigger. Glad you got away from the bar. Your head is bleeding.
-Jerry touched his head to get blood on his hand.
JERRY
I'll survive. Let’s shoot out the locks from her as best we can.
Two doors blew up from bombs attached to them. To their luck, a man began to blindly fire from within an office for another just inside to explode. They each took a side of the door.
JERRY
Toss your gun this way and you may save your life.
CLUB OWNER
No! You die!
The man shouted. A person was shoved into the hall and stumbled to the ground falling. They rolled over and had explosives all over. Jerry and Claudia took off running to dive out of the hall as the person was blown up all over the hall. They stood up and ran back down the hall as the man took off running. Together, they fired in his legs. He was screaming in pain. Jerry aimed his gun.
JERRY
You have the right to remain silent! Hands up!
CLUB OWNER
I can't! I hurt! I'm in so much pain!
JERRY
We gave you the option to not be harmed. Anything else, and I will blow your head off.
ACT 2
SCENE 28
INT. BACK CLUB ROOM – NIGHTTIME – ROULETTE
Claudia looked into the other room with the triggered door. Inside a bunch of people were tied to chairs and gaged. She went to one and pulled the stuff out of their mouth.
CAPTIVE 1
Please! Help me! Help us! But not him.
The man gestured his head to the side.
CAPTIVE 2
No! No! Help me and not all of them!
He argued back as the gag was removed.
CAPTIVE 3
Ahhhhg! Screw us all! We're all rigged to blow. Just let me run after that bastard who did this to us! Or that bitch!
A woman told as she was able to speak again. Claudia untied the woman.
CAPTIVE 3
Oh thank you and God bless.
-The woman walked out and ran down the hall. She spat on the man on the ground in agony. She proceeded down another hall.
Claudia looked over the men and raised their shirts to see major stitching done and bulged skin.
CLAUDIA
I can’t do anything for you now. I don’t have the equipment.
CAPTIVE 2
(Crying)
Just forget about it… any moment now…
-Claudia backed up fast. She went to Jerry.
ACT 2
SCENE 29
INT. BACK HALL – NIGHTTIME – RUN!
Claudia ran to Jerry who was keeping the Club owner from fleeing.
CLAUDIA
We have to move. We have 2 men in their rigged to blow.
JERRY
I don’t think he'll get passed up and the emergencies services should be here any moment. Let’s go.
Jerry smacked the guy hard in the back of his head as they walked by for him to start crying more.
CLUB OWNER
(Sobbing)
Sheesh man! I just own the place.
Claudia yelled back to him without looking back as they pushed through another set of double doors
CLAUDIA
And you did dealings with bad guys!
ACT 2
SCENE 30
INT/EXT. ALLEY – NIGHTTIME – BOOM!
The next hall was mostly maintenance. They hurried out to the back alley.
BOSS BOMBER
Let's go! Leave the rest!
-A group of men piled into a van to slam a dumpster shut. They zoomed down the alley for the woman (Captive 3) Claudia freed to jump on the hood. They swerved and swerved for her to blow up!
The van's engine blew up quickly and other items from the back of the van. One guy barely managed to jump out and look at the dumpster for it to explode!
The men tied up inside blew up.
The guy laid on the ground and froze as the dumpster landed on top of him crushing his body. Sirens can be heard all around.
Jerry and Claudia watched from a safe distance to look at the end of the alley to see the car they brought.
CLAUDIA
I was hoping they would take that.
-She pulled out her phone and triggered a bomb in the car. The car flipped over to be hit by an oncoming vehicle and roll a couple times. They ran over and aimed their guns at the man.
Emergency officials showed up.
JERRY
Arrest these men and take ‘em into custody, right away. Call in back up.
Jerry told a fireman showing his badge.
JERRY
We have multiple wounded inside, 2 dead in pieces, and a man probably trying to crawl his way out. Take that one with these two.
Claudia relaxed and sighed.
CLAUDIA
Let’s see what we can find inside.
JERRY
Probably nothing, but I may be able to find some fingerprints on the glass Miss Bre was using.
CLAUDIA
Aubrey Fenton. Those women I was with are her so called on again off again friends. I don’t think we need to question them. They seem too dumb, leading Aubrey to just keep them by for image purposes.
They nod as the area is caution taped and more emergency services arrive.
Act 3
ACT 3
SCENE 31
INT. LABS – DUSK – EVIDENCE
Jerry and Claudia are in their lab examining the dumpster.
JERRY
The city said that factory is being sent a new one, this code matches the code for the one supposedly sitting submerged in that waterfront for it. Claimed a drunk guy hit it that way to sink. I'm sure they are expecting us to go and scuba dive down for it or use a crane.
CLAUDIA
No use if this is that dumpster. Question is where are the ones from that alley. Our janitor friend has been doing fine, there not bothering him, he was on a family matter and back working. However, the 3 people who were gutted and bombed, were not fully innocent. The one man was owner of the getaway vehicle after leaving the bank, the woman was busted many times for sex trafficking in that area none the less under that clubs support, and the last guy… he was fraudulently using another's ID. The original was thankful to have his ID back not knowing it was gone after attending the club. For me to find out he works for the trash company.
Claudia examined the dumpster.
JERRY
Trash company? They probably impersonated the employee to make use of the truck to move it. Question still is why the dumpsters?
Jerry pondered. His watch went off. He sighed
JERRY
It's 5 already.
Standing up he turned on the TV to watch Becky broadcasting about the club incident. Claudia joined him looking at her phone.
CLAUDIA
Shall we call it a night or order food?
JERRY
Wait a minute…
Jerry rewound and paused the TV on a club patron.
JERRY
Isn’t he one of Madame V's guys.
CLAUDIA
(Joking)
And you take account of the buff sexy dudes?
-She elbowed him.
JERRY
I work too much to have washboard abs, that’s all. Why would he be at that club speaking such. Madame V was the one to tip is off about going there.
CLAUDIA
I'll type out everything his says, you take in his facial expressions, voice confliction, arm movements.
JERRY
After, let's call it a night. First thing tomorrow I say we visit the banker in witness protection and then Madame V. If the banker was correct Madame V may be targeted very soon. Her men always watching and if we can get this guy to spill, we may have the upper hand to end this case.
ACT 3
SCENE 32
INT. CAR 3 – DAWN – PORSCHE
The next morning, the sun was barely rising. Claudia picked up Jerry in her Porsche.
JERRY
Is this rigged to explode too?
CLAUDIA
Of course, but only as a last resort. I have both modern and primitive tracking on this, plus the insurance companies, cameras, alarms, you name it I got it.
JERRY
And the Nos, with government plates for speeding, and attitude to pull up and scare people off by a look.
CLAUDIA
Of course. I've had that song that was playing the other night stuck in my head. Cause we are 2 baddies, 2 baddies, and one Porsche. Odd line of music to be playing at that club.
JERRY
What is the song is talking about bad guys? We're the good guys.
CLAUDIA
I can interpret the song any way I want, and English translation they are just talking about how bad ass Porches are.
She put on her shades at a stoplight as the sun was rising fast.
CLAUDIA
(Singing)
2 baddies, 2 baddies, on Porsche.
ACT 3
SCENE 33
EXT/INT. BED AND BREAKFAST – MORNING – THE BANKER
They pull up to a bed and breakfast. A kid was outside with a dog to run inside. Jerry knocked on the door as the dog was barking. A woman answered asking if they had reservation.
CLAUDIA
We're actually here to talk to the Boiler family, more the head of the household. He knows us.
The woman closed the door and it opened soon with the banker. He opened the door fast to hurry them in.
JERRY
Good morning, no need for introductions. You know us, we know you. How is your day treating ya?
The banker brought them to a den.
BANKER
Come in and sit. Please tell me my family and I can go home?
CLAUDIA
Are you not enjoying your vacation? Bills paid all by us.
BANKER
Vacation maybe, but scared out if my willies is not very fun or relaxing. What do need from me?
CLAUDIA
Do you know this man?
-Claudia opened a folder to hand him a photo of a man.
BANKER
He was on the TV last night. The news for that club bombing. Oh God!
-The banker sat down and grabbed his head
BANKER
That club did business with us. And…
-He looked up slowly at Jerry and Claudia.
BANKER
They had a safe deposit box with us. Ummm… you would need to check the bank records. See if it is still in tack or what.
CLAUDIA
Have you ever seen this man anywhere else? He was just a citizen at the club on the news. We have another source.
BANKER
(Thinking deeply)
Umm… the face does seem familiar. I just see so many in a day, it’s hard to place everyone who walks into that bank. He's muscular, clean face… seems like…
JERRY
Madame V.
BANKER
Madam V- you know what? You’re right! He’s one of her sex goons. In fact, I specifically remember telling a teller about him. More so of knowing Madame V when he opened an account with us for her paychecks. Obviously, Madame V owns the bank and relinquishes fees and such to her own employees. Oh which young gal was it. Not Gabby, she has a family. I don't think it was Lara. The one who works 2 days a week, student-
He made a face of disgust at Claudia and Jerry.
BANKER
Always calling in, never working hard to slack, I should've known.
He stood up angry
BANKER
I remember now! Lazy Ella.
He pointed aggressively at Claudia and Jerry, not at them, but expression of realization,
BANKER
It’s her! I know it! She asks for too many days off and excuses! I tried to fire. Huh!
He gasped to step back grabbing his mouth and return to anger,
BANKER
She was Nick's niece. One of our security guards.
JERRY
I’ve taken note of the names. Justice will prevail.
Jerry spoke sternly to the banker forcing control and eye contact.
BANKER
Please-
The banker sat back down to grab us face, moving side-to-side in worry.
BANKER
Please make this mistake end. I-
He looked up between his fingers sliding down his face behind the bomb agents to see his child peeping in.
BANKER
I want to return my family to our original life without worry.
-Claudia kneeled down and placed a hand on his shoulder looking at him.
CLAUDIA
Jerry and I are the best at what we do. We have people who will look after this place when we leave. Your information is greatly appreciated.
-Jerry handed a cheap pre-paid phone to the banker
JERRY
Keep up appearances and call Madame V for us. We'll see her next.
-The banker took the phone.
BANKER
Anything you say.
Claudia patted his back and stood up..
CLAUDIA
Good job! Just enjoy it here.
She looked back at his kid watching at the archway as Jerry passed by to tussle their hair and move out the door. She began to step away facing him, walking backwards toward the exit.
CLAUDIA
(Winking)
I think this pace has a closet of bored games. The stay inside sort of fun. Looking down at his kids she also tussle their hair.
CLAUDIA
Thanks and goodbye!
Claudia hurried out the door to unlock her car door with the key fob and let Jerry enter it as she remotely started it too. Entering her door, she took off fast.
ACT 3
SCENE 34
INT. CAR 3 – MID MORNING – 2 BADDIES
Jerry looked over their digital profile of data on us phone and ran with requested information over people collected of their case. His phone rang. He answered.
JERRY
This is Jerry.
MADAME V
Jerry! Please come on over! I am docked. I’ve been meaning to head to my home lately, but with current situations, too hesitant. I spoke with my banker. I trust you and sent most of my enterprise away. Do hurry before I regret such decision.
She hung up. Jerry looked at Claudia, having the phone on speaker. The two nod. Claudia flips open a hidden button on her custom shift stick, and presses it. Her Porsche initiated high speed fast and beyond legal designated limits. Easily they made their way from the mountain area to the coastline (or water whatever.)
ACT 3
SCENE 35
EXT/INT. PORT - NOON- LOCK N LOAD
Pulling up to a harbor, seeing Madame V's yacht in the distance, Jerry cocks his gun to place within his inner suit chest strap.
JERRY
I got a bad feeling about this.
Claudia pulled the keys out of the ignition to look around and pop the trunk.
CLAUDIA
Glove box, backseat storage, and pockets for you. Meet you at the trunk. This is my pride and joy.
She opened her door.
CLAUDIA
You always man yourself to drive your car.
She leaned down looking into the Porsche leaning on the door and car.
CLAUDIA
How many times have you written off items we use, and me left with what we had to also order stuff?
She winked, stood up, closed her door and moved to the trunk.
CLAUDIA
I may have a gift for Becky one day, thanks to you.
Jerry smiled and moved his head slightly side to side, loving his partner as bomb experts. He opened the glove box to find slide and sights to attach to his hand gun with another already equipped within. He got out to pull the passenger seat forward and check the back seat. He sat on the right side opening the pocket behind the passenger front seat. Inside was a bomb diffuse kit. Simple, and zipped open like a notebook and closed to be placed within his inner suit pocket. He looked around to see stuff in the cup holders and pulled down the center arm rest for more items. Loaded with bombs and such. He got out happy, straightening his jacket, to shut the car door. He looked back at the trunk just as Claudia loaded a sub machine gun and smiled.
JERRY
Same bad feeling?
Jerry looked into the trunk
CLAUDIA
That or as you normally blame me as, excuse to use.
Claudia sets the safety and begins to place it in a holster on her backside under her suit jacket.
Jerry pulled out a W54 fission bomb. Held like a baby he stroked it with using eyes closed asking.
JERRY
Is this why you don't care what happens to this car?
-He kissed it.
JERRY
I’ve asked for one of these for so long.
CLAUDIA
And I admit it was sent to the office for me to make sure you didn’t get too into. I mean look-
-Claudia smiles and leans back with a hand on her hip exiting Jerry
CLAUDIA
You have Becky. That’s my baby. In fact!
She took it out of is hands to place back in a special holding in her trunk where the spare tire should be. She stood up as both examined it.
CLAUIDA
I feel as you, and want to use it. But- right now, we have to be cops.
-Claudia handed a belt of ammo to Jerry and slammed the trunk shut.
Jerry was still staring at the now closed trunk
JERRY
I promise if we used that, that- we will be authorized such.
Jerry looked at Claudia attaching his ammo around his waist and buttoning his jacket.
JERRY
Use or not use, I'm ready to blow some assholes away! Let’s go!
Claudia ran off. Jerry followed.
ACT 3
SCENE 36
EXT/INT. MADAME V'S YACHT – NOON – BLENDING IN
Claudia and Jerry took a ferry to Madame V's yacht. Other stops were made to nearby floating vessels, as she was the furthest out to sea. Greeted right away by her robust goons, Claudia took the hand of the first to take step on board.
CLAUIDA
Where's the service on this thing!
She stumbled some to stand up and turn, placing her backside against the front side of the male worker.
CLAUIDA
I'll take a heavy wine or sake on the rocks!
She turned and stood away leaning forth to show her chest to the robust man who looked down liking the view and smiling.
MVE
Madame V is waiting for you. Go ahead.
He gestured down the port of the yacht.
Jerry took first, glaring at the one man as he passed by. Claudia went close to the other and moved her finger about his nose.
CLAUDIA
Make it a double of you don’t show up... make sure you bring it.
She ran off behind Jerry.
They moved to the main cabin of the yacht. Voices could be heard of a variety of merriment. Jerry walked in to see a person standing up throwing down cards at a table. Madame V saw hI’m.
MADAME V
Jerry! Oh what a delight!
She stood up and walked to him shaking his hand with both hers. A bow to Claudia, and back eye to eye contact with Jerry.
MADAME V
Please join us! You seem a card player.
She placed an arm around Jerry's shoulder. Whispering into his ear after a giggle to hide such words.
MADAME V
(Whispering)
This party is corrupt.
She turned and slammed her hands against his chest bending forward toward him to step back and away.
MADAME V
But you know I love the best of the best!
She stood by the poker table and pointed at it with a hand on the hip.
MADAME V
$1,000 starting bid! New game! All in.
-Many around threw down stacks of 100 dollar bills. Jerry walked over and sat down slowly and carefully with his armed self.
Madame V shouted to Claudia as she took a drink from the man who greeted her first on the boat.
MADAME V
(FLIRTY)
Claudy baby! Please have any one you like, ah-ow!
Flirtatiously made her voice in a sex appeal twisting her body down.
MADAME V
Vut stay out of my room, ehhh! Ha! Deal me in!
She slammed her palm on the table to grab her fur coat and adjusted it to sit down with the table of card players. Jerry noticed right away how the dealer laid the cards down. Two of the few were tossed slightly different cards. He looked dull to see Madame V glaring at him across the table.
MADAME V
I'm not intimidated by new meat, but love new experiences.
Jerry looked at his card blushing as half the table did and one in particular express jealousy and anger.
Claudia grabbed the hands of the one man she met and shuffled them toward the music on a dance floor of the area. She chugged her drink to smack it down, breaking, on the floor.
JAKE
Oh no!
He crouched down to try and pick up prices of glass.
CLAUDIA
Come on, boy.
Claudia put her hands under his chin and pulled him up off the ground.
CLAUIDA
Madame V knows how to have fun! Your paid to entertain. Not clean.
He stood up gazing at Claudia. Now looking down at her.
CLAUDIA
She said not her room. You could give me a tour of the rest.
She turned away snapping and moving toward the bar
CLAUIDA
But more drinks!
Jerry looked at his cards and slightly around his hand at the others.
JERRY
Honored to be at the table with you Madame V. Not trying to kiss ass, but my girlfriend will be angry later if I did not do such.
-A man threw in chips, Jerry matched, for another to equal. Madame V slid over a double bid. A 4th guy had matched her, and a woman too. The 1st man folded, as they all looked to Jerry. He slid in a matching bid.
MADAME V
Darling, vhy is she not here. All are welcome of those I know and they.
Madam V spoke. The dealer of the game took the folded hand and moved on with the game.
JERRY
Her work, my work, she'd love to be here. Time and crowd is not allowing. Wedding, my partner-
Jerry looked around to see Claudia taking shots with one of Madame V's muscle goons. He smiled.
CLAUDIA
Thinks time for a wedding. You'll be on the invite.
MADAME V
Ah-ow! I love weddings! You can count me there. Or have it here.
Madame V raised the bet. Jerry and 2 others matched.
MADAME V
I must say I didn’t expect you here today. I had a call from our mutual friend before your arrival. Business we shall discuss later.
She turned and slammed her hand of cards on the table looking side to side at two of the other betting.
MADAME V
Business worth while to me! Pertinent to current events.
Two folded. Jerry left against Madam V. He looks over his cards in the corner at Madam V smiling at him.
MADAME V
My table, but I love a first timer. And a card game. Poker. Half of is such wits. Intimidation of you don't scare me. But that girlfriend and my money spent…
Jerry hesitated to shove a stack of chips in bet out.
The dealer called all to show hands. Madame V laid down 4 of a kind.
MADAME V
Four 9’s.
Jerry smiled, he threw down his hand on the table and grabbed all the chips speaking.
JERRY
1 straight!
He had 10, Jack, queen, king, Ace. The table, many watching, and about the room were impressed.
ACT 3
SCENE 37
EXT. MADAME V’ YACHT – EARLY AFTERNOON – MISS NICE GIRL
Claudia existed the main cabin of the merriment going about with muscle goon. She got him alone and nobody around or looking. She pinned him to a wall.
CLAUDIA
Look, I may find you handsome and such, but I have a job to do allowing me to live my life as such and is. I have not lied up to here, but I do need to be an agent first. Madame V knows. Why else would she give me permission about this vessel.
Claudia swayed her head looking up at the guy not doing anything and moved her hands from an aggressive pin to more sensual position.
CLAUDIA
One of you guys, your job here, is not with Madam V. I am after him and anything suspicious or out of the norm.
The man kiss Claudia and he kissed her back.
JAKE
You are so sexy. Boss me around!
She pulled away rubbing his nose against her's side to side gently.
JAKE
Anything you want to see on here is yours. And- I mean anything.
He raised his eye brows pulling away from her to submit against the wall.
CLAUDIA
I like a man who listens. Like this, I may not have a choice elsewhere to return as you wish.
She grabbed his fore arm and tugged him running.
They stopped at the bow (front) of the boat. The man grabbed her hand to hold and took her around the other side to proceed to the lower decks.
ACT 3
SCENE 37
INT. EMPLOYEE QUARTERS – EARLY AFTERNOON – ALONE
Claudia was being shown the quarters of the robust muscle guys who work for Madame V. Her man had alluringly sat down on a bunk facing her with his backside half up.
JAKE
This is where we are stowed away on long trips.
CLAUDIA
Stowed away? Maybe placed for safe keeping.
Claudia had sat on the end of his bunk to look around.
JAKE
That one.
He pointed across the way and to the top of 3 bunk line as they sat center, center.
CLAUDIA
That one? They all look alike.
Claudia spoke as she crawled toward him.
The man had slammed his fist against the wall to pop open a compartment.
JAKE
More to them than they see.
CLAUDIA
Oh- and… is that a clue to yourself?
Claudia continued to crawl up him.
ACT 3
SCENE 38
INT. MADAME V'S YACHT – AFTERNOOM – GAME TIME
Jerry had won a second round of poker to stand up full of excitement shouting.
JERRY
Shots! A round for us all! On me!
MADAME V
(Excited)
A thrilling game player. I do seek to meet this Mrs. of the future.
Half the table got up to walk away in shame. Jerry watched and looked about.
JERRY
What?
MADAME V
Maybe hired by me, trust worthy and creating more depth for us.
Madam V reached across the table to grab Jerry's hand as he sat back down whispering across the table lowering her head.
MADAME V
(Whispering)
I have many secrets. Some I wish to share with you. You have gained my trust and-
She let go of his hand as the boat rocked and she stood up. The sound of rain was heard momentarily.
MVE
A splash? There was no call for rain today.
They moved to a window looking out. More water hit the window and the boat rocked more this time.
Jerry pointed as a 3rd splash came in closer and shook the boat even more. A noise was heard muffled below the water,
JERRY
We're being attacked. Bombs, underwater. Most likely remote detonated or timed mines of a sort. We need to move the boat before they impact.
Claudia had ran in with the robust dude.
CLAUIDA
Jerry! We need to get out of here, fast!
She handed him a schematic of the yacht and hand writings on it of multiple bombs placed on the ship.
JAKE
Ben has betrayed you Ma-dame. Not sure who else, but I assume he took the speed boat, cause it’s gone.
MADAME V
He's going to die! Tell the captain to gun it! Secure loose objects, pronto!
She clapped looking around,
MADAME V
Move it! Everyone else, to the safe room. Should withstand any sort of bombs, and will break off into its own submarine if needed. Go!
She ran over to the bar and opened a cabinet below to hit a button hidden on the roof. Signs lit up pointing to escape routes and the safe room. The boat shook even more causing stumbling and a wave crashing on the site of the ship.
Claudia looked at Jerry. He grabbed her fore arm for stability.
JERRY
Let's go. I think I can disarm some of these.
Claudia looked at Madame V asking.
CLAUDIA
If you have some power tools I may be able to remove others and toss ‘em into the water.
MADAME V
Power tools! Ha!
Madame V moved a rug in the room.
MADAME V
I never need tools, but am known for paranoia over post apocalyptic situations?
She opened a hidden crawlspace and slammed a light on the wall. Madame V side hugged Claudia nuzzling her neck,
CLAUDIA
We'll just pretend some of these things aren't in here. A circular saw, power drill, corrosive acid, crowbar, that’s all in the corner.
Jerry looked at the largest weapon on the opposite wall.
MADAME V
Yes darling, dat is a rocket launcher. It is registered. A gift from some foreign travels.
Jerry picked it up to be handed a bag of rockets. He smiled as Claudia held up a circular saw and power drill. They exited the storage.
MADAME V
Take these!
Madame V handed each of them a walkie-talkie and turned one on for herself.
MADAME V
Madame here, what's on the cameras? Our course? Numbers?
MVE
One employee unaccounted, a few civilians overboard by choice, our course is away from the explosions awaiting your desire, and speed boats in the distance with a larger ship even further Madame.
Jerry and Claudia ran off toward the bombs on the schematic.
ACT 3
SCENE 39
EXT. MADAME V'S YACHT – AFTERNOON – SCHEMATIC
Claudia and Jerry are running down the external side of the boat. Jerry opened up a service compartment for some of the lighting electrical components with the power drill.
CLAUDIA
Be careful.
-Claudia patted Jerry on the back and continued to run toward the bow of the ship.
-Jerry crouched down took a deep breath.
JERRY
Let’s see.
He pulled out his bomb diffusing kit from his jacket and laid it on the ground. He exhaled and rocked his head left and right toward each shoulder.
JERRY
You can do this Jer. Just relax, stay calm, think carefully.
He held out a flashlight in one hand and pliers in another.
JERRY
(Softly speaking to self)
Let's see. Sauder in place. These wires are all to the bomb casing. Seems like- Here!
He dropped the flashlight to speak into the walkie-talkie to all.
JERRY
Do not use any light switches or buttons of any sort. I repeat avoid using any switches. This bomb is triggered by use of such.
MVE
Are you on port or starboard of the ship?
Jerry looked around.
JERRY
Ah… Port, left?
MVE
Those all are connected to the exterior lighting.
MADAME V
That damn light I forget to turn off on my balcony.
JERRY
I can diffuse it, but to be safe do not touch any switches anywhere on the ship. Until I can look at that light to be sure.
Jerry spoke. He took another deep breath to start counting wires from left to right and top to bottom.
JERRY
1,2,3,4,5,6 and 1,2,3 for this to be 1-through 6, and a red, blue, green.
He exhaled. He used the flashlight to gently use the pliers to look beneath the coloured wires on the one side.
JERRY
Two more blue. 6,3,6 coloured 3, and 3 blue. Where’s the…
He searched more gently.
JERRY
Bingo!
He found a very tiny white wire. He pulled out a longer and skinner plier to bite his lip and cut. The light on the bomb went out. He bit his lip and tugged to rip it out. Looking it over he smiled and took it with him to the next location.
ACT 3
SCENE 40
EXT. MADAME V’S YACHT – AFTERNOON – BOMB EXPERTS
Claudia was at the bow of the ship climbing across the spar. She had her legs wrapped around it scooting forward and the power saw wrapped around her attached to an extension cord. Another bomb set off in the ocean causing her to fall and hug the spar as it rocked side to side and she became drenched in water.
CLAUDIA
Mother- ugh!
She clenched her jaw to push herself up and turn on the saw and severe the spar where the bomb was. She could see the bomb attached at the end underneath. Cutting a line in the top, she carefully cut one underneath, the left, and the right. She cut the angled sides on bottom first to flinch when doing the top left when it began to snap and fall. She halted to speak into the walkie-talkie.
CLAUDIA
Can we shift course. Any direction, hard left or right. Encase this bad boy explodes.
MVE
You got it. Turning in 3-2-1.
The captain turned the yacht hard. Claudia cut the final corner and the spar at the tip of the ship fell off and splashed into the ocean. It detonated on impact of the water to force the ship to turn very hard and slanted. Everyone stumbled. Claudia held on for her life till the ship steadied.
ACT 3
SCENE 41
INT. MAITNENCE ROOM OF YATCH – DUSK – PUMP ROOM
Jerry reached the pump room of the ship. All the controls and maintenance for the pool, hot tub, plumbing, and drainage. He found the bomb. It was attached to long tubes for him to find a covered case. It was black and locked. He looked around to see a heavy metal wrench and use it to smash the lock off. Opening the case
JERRY
CO2.
He looked at the pipes.
JERRY
Freeze bomb. Freeze the pipes, force them to explode. Not quiet vengeful enough.
He looked around more to find another under the water heater.
JERRY
There we go. If the water rose enough, this one would be triggered by that. This one first.
-He laid on the ground using the flashlight to examine it. He slid his phone under to take photos. Looking at his phone he grabbed the walkie-talkie.
JERRY
Uh… any chance I could get help moving the water heater? I won’t be able to diffuse this one, but the other in here I can.
MADAME V
Shawn, Greg, Mike, go! The wall does pop open, just never have while moving. Choppy water makes it slippery.
ACT 3
SCENE 42
INT. MADAME V’S ROOM – DUSK - TV
Claudia reached Madame V's room with Jake. She went to the TV and pulled it out with her dude from earlier.
CLAUDIA
I never did catch your name. Shame we don't have time to keep going with what we started earlier.
JAKE
Jake! It’s Jake! And…
-They set the TV down for him to grab her hand and sliding his thumb about the back.
CLAUDIA
Pleasure to meet you Claudia.
CLAUDIA
It has been a pleasure so far. Ever see a bomb before?
She gestured her eye brows up and tilted her head slightly toward the TV on the ground. His face froze. She examined it.
CLAUDIA
Don't worry. Jerry has the tough ones.
She looked around the room to find the remote on the end table next to a lounger sofa.
CLAUDIA
Easier to just toss the TV. Ever play baseball?
-They moved to the deck and tossed it overboard.
CLAUDIA
I need you to toss this after Jerry and the others remove the water heater. That won't be an easy one cause the water heater may erupt. Be nice if you could take ‘em a table.
She handed Jake the remote and stood up kissing his cheek. And ran off.
ACT 3
SCENE 43
INT. MAITNENCE ROOM OF YACHT – DUSK - HEATER
Jerry and the others removed the water heater to turn it sideways. Jerry held the end with the bomb as far away from his crotch as possible with the others on each side all nervous.
JERRY
Okay, once again, we are stepping slowly to the opening.
They all took tiny baby steps.
JERRY
We will set it down and roll it off the edge. A splash can trigger this, for everyone to take cover over in the corner I specified.
The water heater was set down to be pushed further and turned slightly. A bomb set off in the water for them all to dive and the water heater rolled back getting caught on the edge unable to fit back inside. Jake ran in with a table.
JERRY
Thank goodness. New plan! Put the table along the bottom edge.
He pulled out his gun. He shot out a hindge of the opening side opposite of the bomb end and took cover.
JERRY
Any moment it will hit the-
*boom*
The bomb went off for all to cover their heads as the table cracked down the center. *Ka-boom!* an even bigger explosion was set off from the water heater jerking the boat to the side. The side of the boat was on fire and melting. Jerry used a fire extinguisher and another man from above did too to put out the fire. Jake tossed the remote as far as possible into the ocean. He looked at Jerry after some silence.
JAKE
I thought it would explode.
JERRY
Give it time. Pressure in the water. Or a fish biting it. And if it’s at the sea floor, we may not notice it. Be like a fart in a pool splash.
Jerry returned to the CO2 case and severed the tubes. After a couple wires were cut from the bomb and it was deactivated.
ACT 3
SCENE 44
INT. DINNING HALL OF YATCH – DUSK – DINNER TIME
JERRY
Claudia where are you? I'm heading to the one in the dinning hall.
CLAUIDA
I'm already there.
She was examining the DJ booth. Jerry walked in.
CLAUDIA
I think it’s inside this booth. Could you check the speakers?
JERRY
On it.
Jerry removed the fronts of the speakers to expose bombs in each of them.
JERRY
Think it’s a trigger by button?
CLAUDIA
Maybe. It’s not normal, check this out. Defiently like the one in our car. This is triggered by a button most likely up above on the DJ buttons. Where this looks heat activated. Madame V and her wild parties.
Claudia points to a group of wires. Jerry points to another area.
JERRY
Double trigger, like the one I just dealt with down below. This looks vibrations or movement trigger, maybe by the base of the subs hitting. Where a fire may start to trigger the other by heat.
CLAUDIA
What do you think we should do. I can’t tell if they are all linked by how it is down here. It’s too big to toss overboard.
JERRY
I agree. We might be able to toss the speakers over, but if they only reach from here to there, it won't work, it the cords detach and detonate.
CLAUDIA
This room is right under the captain’s controls, and the size would blow all the walls, ceiling, and floor out if we set it off ourselves.
JERRY
It seems like all the explosives are in the speakers, we should disassemble more of this booth to find out, but maybe we can contain it? Madame V may have a golden bowl or something? A toilet? Or perhaps-
MVE
Speed boats inbound on us fast. Say under 5 minutes before they reach us.
A man spoke over the walkie-talkie. Madame V also spoke.
MADAME V
Jerry, Claudia! Vaht do we do?
CLAUDIA
Would you happen to have a golden bowl or safe?
JERRY
Maybe some Polycarbonate?
MADAME V
Glad to know you didn't snoop in my room. Otherwise, I don't know what Poly-whatever is, you need to explain better. As far as bowl… the only thing I could think of is a golden birdbath, but not on board here. The safes are all built into the ship. Maybe check the kitchen. I sat through lots of demos for most of my stuff that I never personally use myself.
CLAUDIA
What about Starlite!
She ran into the kitchen.
JERRY
That's genius! Yes! I'll get to work.
-Jerry began to pull the speakers off the walls and cut out the casing of the wall to lay them on the floor. He looked outside to see the speedboats approaching. He disassembled more of the DJ booth to smile seeing the same number of wires as number of speakers exiting the device. He ran to the kitchen.
CLAUDIA
Can you see if there is more vinegar and corn starch? I don't think this will be enough. Let's see- 2 tablespoons for 8 ounces and this is a 3–5-gallon punch bowl… I say 8-10 cups? Can’t be exact right now.
Jerry searched a walk-in pantry to find new bottles of everything, he ran over dropping tons of them by undoing a hug around them. He helped to start dumping ingredients in.
JERRY
Forget the math, just mix! I'm guna take care of those boats.
ACT 3
SCENE 45
INT/EXT. MADAME V’S YACHT – DUSK - SPEEDBOATS
-Jerry ran to the deck on the stern (back) and pulled out the rocket launcher. He aimed and timed to have a direct hit causing a speedboat to explode and jump into the air with the men falling into the ocean. The next one evaded each shot. It got too close for Jerry to shoot. Madame V walked out on deck.
MADAME V
Why did you stop? Get them!
JERRY
It's too close to risk hitting ourselves.
Jerry pulled out his handguns.
JERRY
Firearms, now! I expect they have something else in store-
-Everyone stumbled as the boat rocked from an explosion underneath the water. Over the walkie-talkie a man spoke, he was using binoculars.
MVE
Helicopter, inbound!
JERRY
(Shouting irritated)
Why are your safe schematics so much interest to them?
Jerry shouted in irritableness.
MADAME V
Remember those secrets I mentioned earlier? I may have had sources tell me the leader of these bombers is upset losing half their assets to me by a gambling bet on a sports game recently from their son.
JERRY
(Surprised and confused)
What? How is that your fault? Why not discipline the kid?
MADAME V
Whilst I agree, they see getting rid of me they could take over my while empire. Where I actually keep all those documents on me at all times. Safe in my room right now. And-
-Madame dived on deck as the men in the speed boat began shooting. She and Jerry crawled inside. For him to turn over the poker table, having chips fly everywhere, and he shoved it in front of the patio door.
MADAME V
And maybe I was curious about the bombs to acquire some by contacts who didn’t know the people they took them from without permission were these guys.
JERRY
You mean stole!
Jerry shouts as more gunfire broke glass and items.
MADAME V
I paid for them, but my contacts did not.
CLAUDIA
Jerry!
He got up and ran carefully.
ACT 3
SCENE 46
INT. DINING HALL OF YACHT – DUSK - STARLITE
CLAUDIA
Help me with this!
Claudia couldn’t carry the Starlite mixture herself. The two dumped it on the floor to move the speakers on and then over the pile with more mixture to cover.
CLAUDIA
What's going on out there?
They could hear the chopper nearing.
JERRY
Attack. One speed boat left and one chopper. Turns out Madame V took over half of their assets and paid some people for stuff they stole from them. She didn’t know the kid who lost his dad's assets were with them or that her contacts would steal from them. Now they seek her dead and claim it all.
They both look up hearing thuds and rolls of men dropping onto the roof of the yacht above and around them.
JERRY
It’s covered enough, let’s go.
-Claudia grabbed her bag and the stereo remote to begin blasting music, in just a few seconds the bombs exploded under the Starlite to not cause much damage with a fire going out fast.
-Men began to fire at them from the speed boat. Claudia had sights on her handgun to shoot the driver and cause the boat to steer off and stop, momentarily.
-The two ducked into a bathroom as other men from the chopper began to shoot at them wearing heavy armor.
JERRY
Our guns won't work on them.
CLAUDIA
Where's your rocket launcher?
Claudia pulled out her circular saw and a bottle of corrosive acid. Jerry peaked around the corner to duck back in.
JERRY
Too close. These two, I think I might be able to take one down, but the other will fire. Think you can disarm him?
CLAUDIA
No I pulled a muscle mixing that stuff. Here.
-Claudia handed him the corrosive acid.
CLAUDIA
If we get lucky, this will eat his face off. Just one throw perfect. And...
-Claudia plugged in the circular saw. Jerry smiled and was ready to step out and toss the corrosive acid.
-Jerry tosses the corrosive acid perfectly to hit the top of the one guy's helmet.
Right away it ate through and he dropped to his knees screaming, grabbing his face and rolling on the ground. The other ran up fast. They both listened to the loud armored footsteps.
JERRY
Now!
-Jerry grabbed the gun and struggled with it firing up through the ceiling and Claudia turns the saw on to push it down hard and vertical gesture through the man’s elbow till it hit bone and he dropped the gun to the ground in pain bleeding.
JERRY
We don’t have much time. Do we call in our forces or deal with this ourselves?
CLAUDIA
The chopper is still circling. I think you can bring it down.
ACT 3
SCENE 47
INT/EXT. MADAME V’S YACHT – DUSKC- THE EXPERTS
Claudia and Jerry rejoined Madame V. Everyone halted with the boat.
CLAUDIA
We're stopping?
They felt the yacht slowing. Over the walkie-talkie a woman spoke for all to glare at their talkies and listen.
AUBREY
Hello Jerry and Claudia. Or should I say- Jack and Stacy! You’re both going to die here today and sink to the bottom of the ocean. I have gifts for you aboard this vessel, ready?
Aubrey was talking over the walkie-talkie frequency. Madame V checked her phone security camera app to see the Capitan dead and groups of men heading from all directions. Claudia mocked.
CLAUDIA
Aw what? Boyfriends never like you cause you have the body of an 8-year-old and loose them to the chicks with tits? I have issues cause of my money and rank in society.
AUBREY
Shut up and die!
-Aubrey pressed a button, from inside the chopper.
JERRY
(Mocking)
We are both very skilled at our jobs. Bombs, guns, and manipulation. We already dealt with all your hidden surprises for us. Why don't you face us in person? Too- chick-en!
*He and Claudia made clucking sounds*
AUBREY
You may be able to take out many of our men, but I will shoot your ship till it sinks!
The chopper begins to fire.
CLAUDIA
Oh! The men are good enough for us and you not close to worthy.
JERRY
What an idiot.
Jerry said as the helicopter shot down half of their own men outside.
JERRY
When the rounds stop, I will try to use the rocket launcher. It’s our only option. But they can shoot it down themselves.
As said he fired and took cover for the chopper to begin shooting again and explode the rocket launched before impact.
AUBREY
Fools! You can’t get me with silly rockets. I'm a better bomb expert than you. And your leaking fuel? Whoops!
Fire ignites all around. The sprinkler systems set off for the yacht, but the surface of the water burns around the boat. Madame V began to walk off.
MADMAE V
Let's just take the sub and run. Forget the ship.
CLAUDIA
I have an idea. You flee and get everyone out of here. But- do us a favour and show yourselves to them on the port side and try to lure them to you as a decoy.
-Claudia spoke as she fired with Jerry at the remaining men attempting to enter.
MADAME V
What for?
CLAUDIA
You have a harpoon gun on deck. If we nail the chopper just right, it will keep this afloat with it in flight. Could stall out their propellers, or we can shoot them out and climb up.
JERRY
Let's do it. I'm no coward to run away from a fight. You guys go. Leave the communication to me. Just know this case is not closed if we win. Go!
In a few mins, there was more holes in the wall than wall. Claudia made her way to the harpoon gun. Jerry remained in the main room of the main deck messing with the bomb he took from the electrical system. They felt the upper part of the yacht break off and them slowly sinking.
AUBREY
Looks like your about to- how they say, sleep with the fishes!
JERRY
No. More like dive with the fishes!
The submarine captain surfaced on the port side as instructed to do so.
JERRY
See me, there, in the water looking up at you? Ha, ha, nana, nana boo-boo, stick your head and dog doo, you bitch! We're outta’ here for good!
-Madame V nodded to the Capitan and they dived low and fled. They could see the floating homemade mines around and see them on their radar to avoid.
The chopper flew over the yacht fast, facing away, just as Claudia wanted for her to aim the heavy-duty harpoon just right to impact the landing bar perfectly from the back being nearly hot dog in bun status. The chopper rocked side to side to turn facing Claudia unable to fire, and a man fell into the water. Claudia used her sites of her handgun to fire a couple other men trying to protect the chopper and Aubrey.
JERRY
Give up Aubrey, or sleep with the fishes.
CLAUDIA
Pilot in sights!
Jerry approached the harpoon and got close enough for Aubrey to shove the last guy out with herself and land on him upset over the trap tossing her walkie. She began to fire randomly all over with a machine gun. Aubrey stood up fast to hurry to Jerry and Claudia.
JERRY
Why don't you take a seat in that chair?
Jerry smiled and clicked A detonator as she stopped to stand by it on deck and look at. She had no time before it exploded and tore off her arm and exposed half of her side and began bleeding.
JERRY
Pull the chopper closer and release it. I'll deal with the pilot and move it to be struck again. We should be able to tow this thing back to shore.
CLAUIDA
Got it, my sights are ready.
-Claudia uses the reeling of the harpoon to bring the chopper as close as possible. Jerry jumps to grab the rope of the harpoon, wraps his legs around, and pull himself to the chopper. Right away the pilot aimed a gun when he boarded.
-Jerry put his hands in the air, to point to his forehead.
JERRY
I ain’t racist, but you gotta little dot here.
Claudia moved her sight laser to the pilot's eye and blind him! Next, shoot him in the arm. Jerry tossed him on board out the chopper; shattering his spine. The harpoon was released to be fired in again to allow the chopper to tow the yacht to shore.
ACT 3
SCENE 48
EXT. PORT – SUNSET – NEARLY CAUGHT
Jerry and Claudia had called in their forces and military to keep the whole thing quiet.
Jerry and Claudia were walking off fast from the remains of the yacht talking to each other
CLAUDIA
Aubrey is dealt with, luckily her purse with phone was on the chopper. How do we go about this?
JERRY
With most of their people gone from that, I think easy rat to trap.
CLAUDIA
Sending a text now of, barely made it out. Meet me at the factory tonight. Aubrey’s phone. Will that work? Seems like where she would run to. We have plenty of fingerprints and ID to get into the place. Maybe suit up in one of those armored suits? Or sneak on through the roofs and back doors, combo? Watch thinking?
He stopped and looked at her turn around facing him.
JERRY
I'm thinking something a bit more out there. Madame V owes us.
ACT 3
SCENE 49
EXT. FACTORY OUTSIDE – NIGHTIME – NEAR END
That night, Madame V was dropped off, by Claudia posing as rideshare, and with Jake and Jerry shirtless as she is known for her goons to be by her side.
Jerry had a fake mustache and his hair spray painted black. Hair styled differently to not look like himself and clip on piercings, nipples, ears, nose, and lips.
MADMAE V
Alright, here ve go, this or prison. Death is not in my life.
Madame V spoke. She snapped and pointed to the door buzzer and Jake rang it. They were let in.
Claudia waited to see if it was the same people from before, to be one small timid woman answering, the secretary. She pulled out Aubrey's phone and texted, couldn’t pass on a quick drink. You'll see me when you see me! XOXO C:, mimicking her previous texts to the dude who is leader of all the bombers. She had parked down the block of the factory and put her hair up in kabuki style with chopsticks. To walk behind the opposite buildings and meet up with the janitor from across the street.
ACT 3
SCENE 50
INT. FACTORY – NIGHTIME -
Inside Madame V was taken to the main office right away. She pushed the door open as Jake started to open it for her. Boldy, she walked in to slam her hands on the leader's desk and look right into his face.
MADMAE V
We need to fix what's been done. My yacht is destroyed because-because...
She flayed her arms about pacing back and forth.
MADAME V
I didn’t know I was playing against your son! Ground him.
She stomped her foot on the floor, pointed her finger about, and then herself while ranting and demanding.
MADAME V
Throw him in jail! Or remove all his funds. I do what I do to survive. You really think I vant government people around me. No!
She pulled out a contract and tossed it to the man and it landed on his desk.
MADAME V
And this was just stupid. I could of just paid you guys and not be thrown under the bus as result.
She sat down and cross her leg for over the other sideways in the chair to turn her chest and face the man with an elbow over the back of the chair. The man (boss bomber) picked it up and read the contract.
BOSS BOMBER
You’re honest over not initializing that loss of product? Hmph.
-The man leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms.
BOSS BOMBER
I have many dead after the other day. I have this room rigged to blow, also. What is it you suggest- to go about this. I want that Claudia and Jerry dead!
MADAME V
Ha! You and me both, deary. We should have a drink.
She went to clap.
BOSS BOMBER
No. Instead, help me plant a trap. Here, for them.
Claudia was listening by earpiece through microphone hidden on Jerry. She made a call to her team of government officials.
MADAME V
(Joking)
How do you expect me to do that? Can’t you just write them a note saying sex, drugs, and rock n' roll for them to show up and invade the place?
BOSS BOMBER
Invade! Ha! Nobody gets in or out of this place. It’s bomb proof, and my cameras are all around.
As he said this he stood up fast and the power was cut.
MADMAE V
(Worried)
Vhat's going on?
The man tried to page his secretary, for no power.
BOSS BOMBER
Where’s our backup generator? This cannot happen!
The man saw a message flash across his phone, coming in! Brought a friend.
-Claudia was entering from a back door with an Asian woman in a wig to look like Aubrey who worked across the street. Claudia had gave the purse and keys of Aubrey to the Asian woman.
The man made a phone call to her, for it to be ignored. He was upset to demand aggressively to Madame V and her muscle dudes,
BOSS BOMBER
Stay here. Or die.
Jerry pulled out his phone to text Claudia. He smiled and opened the office door to hear him yelling at the secretary and hitting her very hard with a back hand across the face. He exited with Madame V and Jake, to gesture them to stay, but just barely out of the office, bombs were triggered to blow up and they evaded.
The Boss Bomber felt around to feel the door handle of his office and shove it open. Doing this Jerry ran up and caught the man to deck him in the face hard and kick him back. Jerry restrained him and Claudia ran in aiming a gun to his head. She made a phone call.
CLAUIDA
Go ahead and restore power.
BOSS BOMBER
How!
The man spoke with a nasaled broken bleeding nose struggling trying to break free.
-Claudia pulled out Aubrey’s phone from the purse of the hired Asian woman to look like her and show the phone to the boss bomber.
CLAUIDA
Not only did we win against Aubrey and your men on Madam V's yacht, but…
She pulled out her own phone to begin playing the 2 baddies song by NCT 127 and singing it with her heavy gun and others aimed at him.
CLAUDIA
2 baddies, 2 baddies one Porsche!
She sang along to stop the song.
CLAUIDA
It was rather odd to hear k-pop music in the King’s Ransom. Why such a Korean themed song that night? Why did your guy not flee as soon as the chaos broke out? He's facing serious infections right now by refuses of antibiotics and will die not knowing the events of the past couple days. Then- it hit me!
Jerry kicked the back of his knees forcing him to kneel as the lights restored.
JERRY
Your attempt to use one of Madame V's buff dudes, was cleaver. But not enough. He is a homosexual in relationship with a man who works across the street from you who thought he could take your seat here and impress enough to marry and have control of both factories and companies. Along with the Asians across the street buying their soju from your bars under retail value. We claimed the better hand over you they hated for so long.
CLAUIDA
Your guy with Madame V… the jealous EX of your son! Who was distracted seeing him flirt with another man and lose that game of poker game to Madame V!
JERRY
Don't worry. Your son is with his love right now. Going to try and cause pain to him by having his new love show up. With our people, and...
MADAME V
As far as taking over my empire, I do business and know not all pan out.
She faced the man to lean down.
MADAME V
My genius will never be yours. Accept you're lesser.
The man spat in her face.
Madame v stood up angry wiping her face.
MADAME V
Please take him away right now! Before- well... his son with the man I sent against his gain against is father here... ha! AHAHAHA!
“Will do!” Claudia hits him hard with the back of her gun. He stumbled for Jerry to use more force and knock him out.
Madame V looked at Jerry and Claudia.
MADAME V
Another case closed by the best government agents this nation has to offer. Jerry- please... tell me you are getting married soon. I've missed Becky visiting every week since this began.
She walked out and before shutting the door.
MADAME V
You guys may be the bomb experts, but I’m the real deal of this all.
She winked and let the door shut.
MADAME V
See you at headquarters.
She turned around pulling out two handguns and began to fire at some men attempting to enter and attack.
