Like White On Icicles

Happy Friday, crime junkies. You've slogged through the week, and now it's time to celebrate. Vent. Blow of some hardboiled steam. Time to clean your piece, strap on your shoulder holster, and head on over to the coolest joint in cyberspace ... at That Killing Feeling.

Onto today's joint from LITTLE GIRL BLUE ...

When we last left private eye Carrie Love, she had arrived at her mother's home in Beverly Hills on Christmas Eve, in the middle of a freak snowstorm. She's just saved would-be stripper/college coed Blue Wonder from the evil clutches of white slave trafficker Tolly Chill and his henchmen ...

Who are right nearby, and who have just killed an inquisitive motorcycle cop, and are now disposing of the body ...

EXT. SUNSET BOULEVARD - NIGHT

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 (CONT’D)

(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 (CONT’D)

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.

EXT. SUNSET BOULEVARD - SUV - AT THAT MOMENT

Tolly watches the boys drag the cop’s body in the woods.

Watches for oncoming traffic. Talks on his cell phone.

TOLLY

Hey, pop. We’re almost there.

(listens)

Because the GPS thing stopped moving.

They’re in one of these big joints on Sunset.

We’re right down the block.

INTERCUT WITH:

INT. GERO’S BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS

Gero lies in bed watching TV, eating a bowl of ice cream.

GERO

They’ve arrived at their destination?

TOLLY

No problem. Piece of cake.

I’m on it like white on icicles.

He watches the boys drag the motorcycle into the foliage.

GERO

Well, hurry it up.

TOLLY

No worries. I’ll call you when got her.

GERO

Okay. And just bring the girl.

(whispers)

Whack the detective.

She knows too much.

TOLLY

Don’t worry.

I’ll deck her fucking halls.
