TWO THUGS smoke in front of a house in suits with no jackets, holstered shoulder straps with pistols. A shadow flits across and both are holding their throats, blood coursing.

Shot of a burning cigar on an ash tray next to a stereo playing jazz. POV of WHORE looking up into MUNICHI’s face and shoulders above, all Fat and puffing,fucking her. A Shadow flits across screen and his throat is opened up gushing blood onto camera. The CAMERA changes to a bird’s eye looking down at the back of the fat dead Mob Boss sprawled over the whore, her face covered in blood, part of her breast also covered in blood sticking out the side as she screams at camera.
15 INT. APARTMENT – NIGHT. 15
A camera flows up shapely legs to follow the swaying hips of Belle, her wearing a transparent shift, till it widens out when she walks up to Giovanni looking out the window. She leans against his back, him burning a fat cigar.
BELLE
Is whatever weasel you gonna pop be happening soon Teddy Bear? I’m tired of this trash can you call hidey hole. I want us mosey back to our beautiful paradise, our bourgeoisie of sweat and sin, so dreamy.(Russian accent)
Giovanni looks somewhat annoyed but grabs her hand around his waist.
Giovanni
Soon kitten, soon. (Loud noise in other room) Speak and the Devil spins vinyl.(Big exhale of cigar and exhale) That’s my two one-eyed jacks now.
POV of CRAZY GIRL – Door slamming open Antonio in front of her, his suit speckled in blood, holding her arm in camera.
CRAZY GIRL(VO)
A dead man’s tongue can speak no lies, no lies, no lies.
Crazy spells itself in her eyes.
Antonio Slaps camera/her Camera shakes as if slapped.
Antonio
Put a needle and thread on those lips.
Another thug (Romeo) comes into camera holding her other arm, his other hand holding a bloody knife. Camera pushes through them to see a woman, Belle, in a short semi transparent robe that is open, her breasts and thighs exposed leaning against Giovanni, looking out a window as he slowly turns towards camera. Belle slowly steps off her lover with a wicked smile, not caring about her nudity as she very slowly closes her robe.
BELLE
Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum and look Daddio, they brought you a toy.
Gio looks at her and sighs.
Giovanni
Enough Belle, go find some entertainment for a couple hours,
Inhale cigar, exhale, flicks ashes.
giovanni (cont’d)
Daddy’s got work to do.
Belle pouts. Camera backs up as she walks towards it, back to close POV of Crazy girl, Romeo and Anthony on either side of her, her arms still being held. Belle stops in front of them, looking at thugs.
BELLE
My two cuddle pits of short bus special needs. Looks like you been busy playing with little girls.
She leans in and wipes her finger off camera it coming back into camera with blood on it, licking it.
BELLE
Ah, my poor little hop skotch. Looks like you getting all the excitement without me. I’m sure you’ll love Daddy’s attentions. I always do.
Move of Camera as Gio moves a couple steps closer, half choked cigar on his lips.
Giovanni
Belle!.
BELLE
Fine, fine. I’m going.
She grabs one of the thugs ass and blows a kiss.
Giovanni
And Belle, don’t fuck the help.
Inhale, exhale cigar.
giovanni (cont’d)
I’m tired of killing my own men.
She pouts.
BELLE
You take all the fun out of this merry go round sweet cheeks. But I’m not anything if not obedient, at least most of the time.
She smiles.
She winks at camera and moves past it. pulling camera back and around on Belle’s swaying ass. She goes to door and looks back, partial breast exposed.
BELLE
And Daddio, try to save me something to play with pretty please.
She exits. Camera pulls back to include room. Gio stands in front of his two men looking down at girl.
Giovanni

Thugs look sheepish.
Giovanni
I find out Munichi is already in the dirt and that I got a hit put on me, some legendary god damn assassin with a name out of a fucking video game, So what does the man do? The man puts out a lot of green to find out where this piece of shit is holding up, which low and behold works.. I send one fucking team to take him out that never comes back. And then what do I do, what does the man do?. I send what is supposed to be my two best fucking men, my two spades, my two jacks, my two pearls of the Nile,
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
ROMEO
I think you mean Jewels of the Nile Boss, like the movie.
Antonio
Yea, Michael Douglas, great fucking movie. I liked him in Wall Street too.
Giovanni
Did you two just fucking interrupt me while I was pontificating?!
Antonio

Inhale, exhale cigar.
giovanni (Cont’d)
They come back with a god damn bloody whore and a fucking pig sticker, that’s what they do. You want to hum me a lullaby that explains this shit?
They throw the girl on the ground who is still mumbling crazy. She spurts out right at the boss as she grabs his suit leaving blood.
CRAZY GIRL
The Blood is a river, never ends, never ends.
Giovanni looks angrily at his men, Romeo grabs her and pulls her to ground a few feet away standing over her. Antonio starts speaking.
Antonio
Look Boss, we did what you said. We went to that hotel room you gave us. We went in hard looking for a pound of flesh.
Romeo
Yea Boss, we did, we went in there with heat, with a growl and fucking murder in our eyes.
Antonio
But all we found was corpses, our god damn men in a fucking horror story grind house.
Romeo
He ain’t exaggeratin’, blood everywhere boss, everywhere! All over the walls, floor, thought I was in that, that Stephen King delio, what was it?
Antonio
Carrie
Romeo
Yea, that’s it, Carrie
Antonio

Romeo hands the boss the knife.
Romeo
And this was stuck in Manny’s fucking eye, his fucking eyeball boss.
.
Giovanni looks at Knife.
Giovanni
You telling me I sent 5 men with fucking hot iron in their hands and this Ghost, fucking stupid name, took them all out with a god damn pig sticker?
Antonio

Giovanni

Points with knife towards crazy girl.
Antonio
No boss, all that comes out of her cunt is some straight jacket Wonderland shit.
Romeo
Yea Boss, I think her mind done a loopty loo.
Antonio
Yea we figure she probably a whore the ghost guy done diddling while he was waiting for the go ahead to off you.
Romeo
We can put a bruise on her Boss, some hard knuckles, just figured we needed to get her and the blade back to you first.
Giovanni
God dammit, so that fucking shit eater is still wandering around looking to take me the fuck out.
Cigar exhale.
giovanni (cont’d)
I still got a shadow with teeth on my bread and butter, which means, staying in this fucking garbage can.
Romeo
Hey Boss, this is my place.
Giovanni stares at him
Giovanni
Your Point?
Blows smoke in his face.
Romeo says nothing.
Giovanni walks over fingering the blade looking down at crazy girl still mumbling to herself.
Giovanni
If I knew who the fuck put a hit on me this game would be a lot easier to tombstone.
Antonio
I still think it’s that rat Scarsazzi. He been licking his chops for a long road.
Romeo
Yea and he is the kind of under the table slitherer that be trying to stage play with some outside talent doing the deed.
Giovanni
Scarsezzi don’t have the balls to make a fucking move on me. He’s a cock sucker that gets what he wants by pussyfooting his way to it
He leans in and grabs girl by chin rubbing the blade along her other cheek.
Giovanni
You got something to tell me little birdy? You gonna open that hole and sing to me about the man you was fucking?
The girl keeps her eyes roving, mumbling then spurts.
CRAZY GIRL
The dead talk, they talk and scream and talk, and dance, and the, the..the…then there’s blood, so much blood, never ends…. corpses don’t lie…..
Giovanni throws her cheek down and stands up.
Giovanni
Fucking worthless.
He looks at his two men
Giovanni
Put her out of her fucking misery and lollipop her body in the bay.
Romeo
Belle ain’t gonna be happy boss if you don’t let her play with the whore.
Antonio
Yea Boss, You know how she gets.
Giovanni looks fire at him.
Giovanni
She’ll get over it, do what I fucking told ya.
He turns away and walks to the window, camera following over his shoulder. A loud thump sounds. He turns around and camera becomes his POV. Crazy girl is right there in his face/camera licking the blade, two bodies behind her.
GHOST
Hello Daddio.
.
She plunges knife low off camera, cigar goes flying — INSERT – Slow motion falling cigar blood splatters camera— Back to POV as camera on ground. Girl now looking sane, moves into frame, straddles, looking down into POV camera.
GHOST
Never changes, you men. Never see the truth, never see the scars I bring. a Ghost with a lullaby.
Licks blade again.
ghost (cont’d)
…a god among sheep. Your sister says hello.
Blade plunges down at camera.
Goes to black.
