Love Never Dies

Hey there, crime kids. Happy 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 48 of BABY HEISTER, a SWAT team gets ready to blast their way into Doc and Kelsey's safe house, but little do they know that the gang had moved next door into their 'back up' safe house. Meanwhile, now that Doc and Jo are asleep, Kelsey and Simon get ready to go get revenge on the Yakuza gang leader that killed Kelsey's parents ...


EXT. DOC’S WAREHOUSE - DUSK
A SWAT truck is at the curb.
Flint and Darryl talk with the
TACTICAL FORCE COMMANDER,
(40’s), big, tough, no-nonsense.

SWAT COMMANDER
We gotta problem.
The door to the stairs
has been welded shut.
Only way up is on the elevator --

FLINT
Which is now toast,
with dead heisters, over easy.

DARRYL
Can someone climb up the cables?

SWAT COMMANDER
They’ve been cut.

FLINT
And the windows are secured --

DARRYL
(to SWAT Commander)
What do you think?
You’re the expert.

SWAT COMMANDER
We go up to the roof,
blow a hole, then go in.

FLINT
He’s not there.

DARRYL
Bullshit. Where could he have gone?

FLINT
After those two assholes tried
a double-cross and crash-landed,
he split.
(points)
See the roofs up there?
They’re connected.
He could be anywhere by now.

DARRYL
I say he’s still in there.
(to Swat Commander)
Go ahead. Blow the fucker up.

INT. SHITTY HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT
Completely bare, except for
a bare mattress on the floor.

Next to it, an ancient,
old-school transistor radio.

Simon lies on the mattress.
Kelsey comes into the room.

KELSEY
Finally. They’re asleep.

SIMON
I can’t believe they still -- do it.

KELSEY
Love never dies, I guess.

SIMON
Fucking gross.

KELSEY
I think it’s sweet.

SIMON
Give you any ideas?

KELSEY
In your dreams.

She pulls her gun out
from behind her back.

Checks the clip.
CRACKS it back in, KA-CHINK.

KELSEY
Cops gone?

SIMON
Yeah. Boy, were they PISSED
when they didn’t find anything.
(beat)
You sure you wanna do this.

KELSEY
Never more sure of
anything in my life.

SIMON
Then let’s go punch out
his fortune cookie.

KELSEY
Fortune cookies come
with Chinese food.
He’s Japanese.

SIMON
You’re confusing me with
someone who gives a duck sauce --
