Hey there, crime kids. Happy Monday. 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 45 of THE HEISTERS, the local cops and the feds are delighted to find the cash from the stadium robbery that Doll left in the trunk of her car, but the question is, who gets to keep it ... ?


EXT. VENICE ALLEY - DRIVEWAY - NIGHT
A cluster of COPS and FBI
clog the driveway.

EVIDENCE TECHS are going over the car.
Yellow tape surrounds the perimeter.
Mart and Elwin huddle with Meg and Ren.

REN
The money on the ground
suggests that she was in a hurry.

MEG
Yeah, but why?

MART
Someone was chasing her?

ELWIN
Maybe she was trying a double-cross
and got busted --

MART
Makes sense.

ELWIN
(looks at the car)
Why don’t I take the cash
to the station and log it
into the evidence locker?
Makes me nervous
just sitting there like that.
Never know what could happen.
Those heisters might try something --

MART
Good idea.
We’ve got Nunn and Isaacs
canvasing the area.
We’ll join ‘em.

ELWIN
Keep me posted.
I’ll come back later if you need me.

MART
You got it.

Elwin goes the car.
Grabs the bags of money.

Carries them over to his squad car.
Puts them in the trunk. Drives off.

REN
(to the group)
Okay.
Everybody fan out
and canvas the area.
I’m going to stay here
and monitor the feed
from the satellite.

MART
You think we’ll be able to find her?

MEG
Oh, yes.
Spy satellite can track a mole
on Rush Limbaugh’s ass
from a hundred miles.

MART
Really.

MEG
Really.
Remember that trip he took down to --
(beat)
Never mind.
