Happy Tuesday, crime slicksters. It's time once again to take a trip to the dark side, where the girls are hot, the drinks are cold, and the hardboiled-pulp-noir action is non-stop, right here, at the coolest crime joint in cyberspace ... at That Killing Feeling.
In Chapter 25 of THE HEISTERS, both the local fuzz and the feds track down Kelsey and the gang's location at the Venice Motor Court and head over there to try and capture them ...
INT. POLICE HEADQUARTERS - ELWIN’S OFFICE - NIGHT
Elwin sits behind his desk.
Mart leans against the wall,
sips a cup of coffee.
Standing in front of the desk
are two SERIOUS-LOOKING FBI AGENTS (30’s).
SERIOUS-LOOKING FBI AGENT
(into his cell phone)
Great, thank you.
We’ll keep you posted.
Meet REN ROSEN.
Stiff. Formal. No-nonsense.
Poster boy for the Feds.
Boyish good looks.
Hence the overcompensation.
REN
We have the location.
ELWIN
That was fast --
MART
Shit, yeah --
The other agent, MEG STARK,
a tall, curvy brunette
gives them a wry smile.
Adjusts her glasses.
Purses bright red lips.
MEG
Simple triangulation equation
from the satellite.
We can track a text message
from a moving vehicle
in thirty seconds.
ELWIN
Damn.
REN
Signal came from
The Venice Motor Court.
I assume that’s a
hotel at the beach?
MART
Damn straight it is.
MEG
How far away?
ELWIN
Ten minutes?
REN
Then let’s go --
MART
You mean you WANT
us to come with you?
Ren nods curtly.
Heads for the door.
They all follow.
ELWIN
(to Mart)
Well, THAT’S a first --
MEG
(to Mart and Elwin)
Ren believes that cooperation
between local and federal authorities
is the most efficient method
of solving crime.
MART
Amen, sister --
