Zombies In The Park

Happy Wednesday, crime slicksters. Need a break from the holiday madness? Then 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 28 of ZOMBIE & JULIET, Rommy and Jool are finally reunited, only to discover that they've been infected with the virus. Meanwhile, Brick and Gaga, waiting outside, get chased by a hoard of zombies ... right into Jool's house ...


EXT. CARLING’S MANSION - FRONT ENTRANCE - NIGHT
The SWAT truck is parked in front by the curb.
Rommy, Brick and Gaga stand on the sidewalk.
Look at the building.

BRICK
Nice digs.

GAGA
So this is how the other half --
(beat)
Uh -- lived.

ROMMY
I’ll go inside first.
You guys stay outside
and keep a lookout.

ON THE ROOF
Jool waves frantically.
Beaming. SO fucking excited.

JOOL
ROMMY. Up HERE.

ROMMY
Looks up. Sees her.

ROMMY
Ohmigod, JOOL.
THERE you are.
I’m COMING UP.

JOOL (O.C.)
I’m coming DOWN --

IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING
Rommy RACES inside.

ON THE ROOF
Jool RUNS to the trap door.
FLIES down the ladder.

ON THE MAIN STAIRWAY
Rommy RACES up the stairs.

IN THE PANIC ROOM
Jool WHIPS the door open.
RUNS into --

THE CORRIDOR
Where Rommy RUNS toward her.
They FLY into each other’s arms.

ROMMY
I thought I’d lost you FOREVER --

JOOL
I KNEW you’d come find me.

They gaze into each other’s eyes.
Jool strokes his face.

JOOL
You DID get infected.

ROMMY
It’s okay.
We have a vaccine.

JOOL
You DO?

ROMMY
Yeah. It’s gonna be okay --
(studies her face)
You’re infected, too.

JOOL
I’m okay. Just feel a little --

She COLLAPSES in his arms.

JOOL
Tired.

And goes out like a light.

ROMMY
JOOL.

ON THE ROOF
Nin and Ginger scan the horizon.
See something.

GINGER
Oh, no.
The zombies in the park --

NIN
Are coming THIS WAY.

ON THE STREET
Brick and Gaga
stand in front the building.

GAGA
Do you hear that?

The sound of SCREAMING
gets nearer and nearer.

BRICK
(looks)
Oh, SHIT.

DOWN THE STREET
A pack of RABID SCREAMING ZOMBIES
is coming right at them.

EXT. CARLING’S MANSION - NIGHT
Gaga and Brick RUN into the building.

INT. CARLING’S MANSION - FOYER - NIGHT
They SLAM the door shut.

BRICK
That’s not gonna hold ‘em long.

GAGA
(nods)
C’mon -- UPSTAIRS.

Gaga and Brick start
RUNNING up the grand staircase.
