Sushi Gone Wild



Hey there, crime kids. Happy fucking Hump Day. It's time once again to take a trip to the dark side, where your most violent fantasies become sins of the flesh, right here, where the hardboiled action is non-stop, at the coolest crime joint in cyberspace ... at That Killing Feeling.

In Chapter 23 of NOWHERE GIRLS, the shit hits the fan when Homeland Security agents April Street and Cherry Nation are pursued in a high-speed chase in a parking garage by FBI agents Max Cargo and Sunday Sparks and assassin Shao Lin and her posse ...


INT. MAX’S SUV - MOVING - NIGHT
Max drives through the parking lot,
looking for the RV.

MAX
I don’t see it, I don’t see it.

SUNDAY
Think, think, think, --
where could they hide?

They look at each other.
A lightbulb POPS.

Max turns the wheel,
STEPS on the gas.

INT. PARKING GARAGE - NIGHT
The Winnebago SHOOTS through the garage.

INT. SERGE’S MOTOR HOME - CONTINUOUS
April points to an ‘up’ ramp.

APRIL
Go up. We don’t want to get stuck underground.

SERGE
(downshifts)
I’m one step ahead of you --

CHERRY
April, you grab the laptop.
I’ll get the weapons.

IN THE PARKING GARAGE
The RV gets to the ramp, starts going up.

AT THE ENTRANCE RAMP
Max’s SUV FLIES downward, turns.
SCREECHES, burning rubber.

MAX
Which way, which way?

SUNDAY
No way they’d be stupid enough
to go down. Go UP --

Max turns the wheel,
SLAMS the vehicle up the ramp.

EXT. SHOPPING CENTER - NIGHT
Shao’s bug ROARS into the parking lot.
Starts circling.

IN THE BUG
Shao scans the parking lot.
No sign of the RV.

NASHI
(spins the wheel)
I don’t SEE THEM.

Suzu studies her I-phone.
Listening through headphones.

SUZU
A-HA.
(points)
FBI go into PARKING GARAGE.

Nashi HITS the gas.
ROARS toward the entrance.

SHAO
Got you now, girlies.
Momma needs to have a word with you --

EXT. PARKING STRUCTURE - ROOF - NIGHT
The RV comes up the ramp.
ROARS across the roof.
SCREECHES to a halt.

April, Cherry and Serge PILE OUT.
Simon ROARS out the back door on his Harley.
They race over to him.

SIMON
(points)
We’re in luck.
There’s another bike over there.
April can ride with me.
You two take that one.

April hefts her bag. Jumps on.

SERGE
But I can’t drive a motorcycle.

CHERRY
I can --

She RACES OVER to the bike.
Pulls out wires on the steering column.

Touches them together.
They SPARK. The engine ROARS.

She pulls it up to Serge.
He hops on.

SERGE
Luc Besson, eat your heart out.

SIMON
(to Cherry, points)
We go to the rear wall over there.
Then ride over that way
and jump onto the roof
of the building next door.
Got it?

CHERRY
Got it.
Just then the FBI SUV
ROARS OUT onto the roof. Stops.

Honey and Max JUMP OUT.
Pull out their weapons. Take Aim.

MAX
FBI. Stay where you are.
DON’T MOVE, OR WE’LL SHOOT.

SUNDAY
(on her cell phone)
We have the target in sight.
We need backup, NOW.
Where’s that fucking CHOPPER?

CHERRY
(sees them)
Quick, behind the RV.

Simon and Cherry HIT THE GAS.
Drive the bikes around.

Everyone JUMPS off.
GRABS their weapons.

MAX AND SUNDAY
Start FIRING at them.
BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG.

APRIL AND CHERRY
Fire back. BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG.

SERGE
Climbs up to the roof of the RV.
Opens a compartment.
Revealing a GIANT M-240
ARMY MACHINE GUN.

SERGE
Time to put on full metal jacket --

And starts SPRAYING Max and Sunday
with MACHINE GUN FIRE.
RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT.

SHAO’S BUG
Drive up onto the roof behind the FBI vehicles.

IN THE CAR
Shao shakes her fist furiously.

SHAO
Goddamn G-boys try to spoil our fun.
C’mon, girlies. Let’s show ‘em how it’s DONE.

They JUMP out of the car.

MAX AND SUNDAY
Take cover behind their vehicle.

MAX
Where the fuck they get THAT?

SUNDAY
(into her phone)
Hey, SHIT FOR BRAINS. Where’s my --

A DEAFENING ROAR,
as A BLACK HAWK HELICOPTER flies overhead.

Two more FBI vehicles appear on the roof.
More agents JUMP OUT.
Start racing toward the Winnebago.

Simon and April JUMP onto his motorcycle.
Cherry and Serge JUMP on the stolen bike.

They HIT THE GAS,
and ROAR off across the roof.

Bullets WHIZ BY as the bikes
FLY toward the edge of the building.

Serge gets HIT in the back, CRACK.
He FLIES off the bike
and PLUMMETS to the ground.

The motorcycles reach the edge,
FLY INTO THE AIR in an arc --

and BANG, land on the roof next door.
ATOP THE PARKING STRUCTURE
The FBI agents continue SHOOTING.

THE HELICOPTER
Flies toward the motorcycles.

A MACHINE GUN appears out the side window.
Starts FIRING a SPRAY OF BULLETS.

ATOP THE PARKING STRUCTURE
Shao, Nashi and Suzu TEAR ASS
along the side of the roof.

SUNDAY AND MAX
See them.

MAX
Who the fuck are THEY?

SUNDAY
Sushi Gone WILD?
