Warm And Fuzzy

Hey there, crime kids. Happy Sunday. 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 11 of LITTLE GIRL BLUE, private eye Carrie Love and undercover stripper Blue Wonder arrive at Carrie's mother's Beverly Hills estate just as her ex homicide dick Bernie Keko shows up on the scene. Meanwhile, white slave trafficker Tolly Chill and his gang tangle with the cops while trying to find Blue ...

EXT. MARGO’S MANSION - AT THAT MOMENT
The entire estate is now
covered in a blanket of snow.

Carrie pulls her monster
Olds convertible into the driveway.

CARRIE
I’ve never seen -- snow before.
Amazing.

BLUE
Reminds me of home.

CARRIE
Looks like you got yourself
a White Christmas.
(beat)
Listen, I gotta warn you.
My family is kinda -- strange.

BLUE
Who’s isn’t?

CARRIE
Point well taken.

They get out of the car.
SLAM the doors.

CARRIE
We’re just gonna stay for a sec.
When Bernie gets here,
we’ll get that cuff off you,
then we can --

BERNIE
Pulls up the driveway.

CARRIE
(sees him)
Cue the fuzz.

Bernie gets out of his car.
Walks over. Huddles in his coat.

BERNIE
You owe me one, BIG TIME.
(looks up)
What’s up with the fucking SNOW?
(looks at Blue)
So this is -- ?

CARRIE
My CLIENT, Bernie.
Blue Wonder, Bernie Keko.
Bernie, Blue.

BERNIE
'Blue Wonder?'
Sounds like --

CARRIE
CAN IT, Bernie.

BLUE
My parents were hippies.

CARRIE
And her sister was murdered.
So can we get this over with?
I’m fucking freezing.

BERNIE
Lead on, MacDuff.

EXT. SUNSET BOULEVARD - AT THAT MOMENT
Tolly’s SUV travels slowly in the snow.
It’s blinding now.

INT. TOLLY’S SUV - MOVING - CONTINUOUS
The windshield wipers are pumping furiously
as the snow gets heavier.
Tolly strains to see as he’s driving.

TOLLY
I love it.
It’s like we’re back in Jersey.

PORKPIE
Oh, yeah?
I’m fucking freezing.

TOLLY
So turn up the fucking heat.

A siren WHOOP-WHOOPS behind them.

TOLLY
(looks in the rearview mirror)
Shit, it’s a cop.

He pulls the car over.
Stops. Shifts into ‘park.’

The COP appears in the window.
Tolly rolls it down.

TOLLY
Can I help you, officer?

ANGRY COP
License, registration,
and proof of insurance.
And keep your hands where I can see ‘em.

TOLLY
Sure thing, sure thing.
(leans over to get them)
How about this weather, huh?
(hands them over)
What did I do wrong, officer?

ANGRY COP
(looking at documents)
You left the scene of an accident.
Please step out of the vehicle.

Porkpie pulls out a SIG SAUER and FIRES.
BANG. BANG. BANG.

The officer FLIES backwards
into a snow bank, THWUMP.

TOLLY
Jesus FUCKING CHRIST.
What the FUCK did you do THAT for?

PORKPIE
I ain’t goin’ to jail on CHRISTMAS.

TOLLY
Goddammit.
Now we gotta get rid of the
BODY, and the fuckin’ BIKE.
Everybody OUTTA THE CAR.

ALDO
Ah, shit -- it’s snowing.

MICK
Yeah, boss, can’t we just --

TOLLY
I said OUTTA THE FUCKING CAR, NOW.
It’s a winter wonderland.
Get used to it.

INT. MARGO’S MANSION - FOYER - AT THAT MOMENT
Carrie, Bernie and Blue stand in the doorway.

SETH
Carrie.
Great to see you.

They hug.

CARRIE
Hey there, little brother.
(gestures)
You remember Bernie --

BERNIE
Hey.
You sure got tall.

SETH
Nice to see you, too.
You look -- the same.

BERNIE
(to Carrie)
He lies as good as you do.

CARRIE
(to Seth)
And is this is Blue.
Blue Wonder.

Seth and Blue lock eyes.
Instant chemistry.

SETH
H-hi.
Nice to -- meet you.

BLUE
Hey.
(staring)
You, too.

Pause.

CARRIE
Earth to Seth, Earth to Seth --

SETH
(staring)
Let’s -- go see Mom.

CARRIE
Cue the warm and fuzzy.
