Sushi Gone Wild

Happy Thursday, hardboiled crime slicksters! It's time once again to take a dangerous trip the dark side, where the drinks are strong, the chicks are hot, and the action smokin' ... at That Killing Feeling.

In today's chapter from NOWHERE GIRLS, agents Cherry Nation and April Street are on the run from the FBI and a trio of Japanese assassins on the roof of a shopping mall, when suddenly, a Black Hawk helicopter attacks, SPRAYING them with machine gun fire ...


EXT. SHOPPPING MALL ROOF - NIGHT
Two more FBI vehicles appear on the roof.
More agents JUMP OUT. Start racing toward the Winnebago.

A DEAFENING ROAR,
as A BLACK HAWK HELICOPTER flies overhead.

Simon and April JUMP onto his motorcycle.
Cherry and Serge JUMP on the stolen bike.
They HIT THE GAS, and ROAR off across the roof.

Bullets WHIZ BY as the bikes FLY
toward the edge of the building.
Serge gets HIT in the back, CRACK.
He FLIES off the bike and PLUMMETS to the ground.

The motorcycles reach the edge,
FLY INTO THE AIR in an arc --
and BANG, land on the roof next door.

ATOP THE PARKING STRUCTURE
The FBI agents continue SHOOTING.

THE HELICOPTER
Flies toward the motorcycles.
A MACHINE GUN appears out the side window.
Starts FIRING a SPRAY OF BULLETS.

ATOP THE PARKING STRUCTURE
Shao, Nashi and Suzu TEAR ASS along the side of the roof.

SUNDAY AND MAX
See them.

MAX
Who the fuck are THEY?

SUNDAY
Sushi Gone WILD.

ON THE ROOF NEXT DOOR
The bikes pull up behind the roof staircase entrance shed.
Take cover. Simon nods at the next building over.

SIMON
Now we go over there --
(looks)
What happened to Serge?

CHERRY
(teary-eyed)
Serge got -- shot.

APRIL
SHIT.

SIMON
(sees something)
Look. We’ve got MORE company.

ON THE OTHER BUILDING
Shao and the girls race to the edge
of the roof and FLY INTO SPACE --
then land on opposite side, SLAP-SLAP-SLAP.

THE HELICOPTER
Starts FIRING at them.

THE GIRLS
RACE over to the other side of the shed
where April, Cherry and Simon are.
Shao looks up. Grimaces.

SHAO
Suzu. M-six, please.

Suzu pulls out a GRENADE.
SLAPS it in Shao’s hand.
She PULLS the pin,
and FLINGS it in the air at the chopper.

CHERRY
Looks up.

CHERRY
We can’t move yet, not with that chopper up there --

THE GRENADE
Flies into the chopper.

IN THE CHOPPER
The pilot sees it.

PILOT
SHIT --

THE CHOPPER
EXPLODES in a MASSIVE FIREBALL -- BOOM.
Debris, flames, metal, bodies FLY into the air.

Shao, Suzu and Nashi jump up and clap excitedly.

MAX AND SUNDAY
Watch from the roof next door.

MAX
Fucking schoolgirls blew up our CHOPPER.

SUNDAY
They’re fucking AMAZING.
We have to capture them and make them ASSETS.

ON THE ROOF
April looks at the door of the shed.
Pulls out her pistol.
SHOOTS off the lock, BANG.

The door FLIES OPEN,
revealing a staircase going down.

SIMON
What’s down there?

APRIL
Macy’s. And we’re smart shoppers --
