YAHREH, screenplay

 ***
FS WADE’S WHITE SHIRT/ZOOM OUT FS FBI SPECIAL AGENT WADE HAMILTON
FBI agent Wade Hamilton walks through the door at FBI headquarters. He sits down at his desk when his boss, Bill Blass, walks through the door at a fast pace.

BILL:
“Wade, in my office, stat.”
TWO-SHOT

Wade looks at his partner Brad, sitting at the adjoining desk, and rolls his eyes.

BRAD:
“Man, you’re in trouble! I told you that you were going too far. That stunt, it was funny but you went too far! I mean… they actually thought it was going to be front page news only to found out too late that the whole branch was laughing at them. You know Ken went straight up the ladder. Man… you’re going to get fired! Did you see the look on Bill’s face? Man… you’re getting’ canned.”
Wade throws a pen at Brad and turns to walk into Bill’s office.

FS FROM BILL’S OFFICE

Wade walks in and starts to sit down while talking fast,

WADE:
“Boss, I wasn’t trying to cause…

Bill interrupts him.
BILL:
“Close the door!”
Wade closes the door using the side of his boot.

BEGIN CU OVER THE SHOULDER TWO-SHOTS

BILL:
“I know all about that stunt you pulled. I had a winning bet you’d out smart those idiots this time. But, if you say one word about that, you’ll be out of here in a New York second! Do you hear what I’m saying?“
Wade doesn’t make a sound he only nods his head up and down.

Bill says it more sternly.

BILL:
“Do you hear what I’m saying, Wade?”

WADE:
“Yes, Sir!”

MS BILL/ZOOM OUT

Bill stands and walks toward the camera as it zooms out to show the back of the video equipment in the lower part of the frame. Wade can be seen above the equipment on the right.

SWITCH ANGLE

Before Bill starts the video, he turns around and pauses to look at Wade for a moment subliminally getting him prepared for what he’s about to see.

BILL:
 “Now listen, this is the reason I called you in here. I received a call from an operative in London. They’ve run across some serious stuff. They sent me this video. I want you to head this thing up.”

SWITCH ANGLE

Bill turns on the equipment and sits down at his desk. At first Wade shows no emotion, like a detective. Then the video gets worse and more violent. Wade looks a little shocked… then angered to the point he has to turn away. Bill stops the video before it ends.

WADE (IN ANGER):
“What the…? You gotta be kidding me?”
BILL:
        “Wade, if this girl is still alive, which I doubt…  I want you to find her. This is the first video they’ve found where the girl isn’t dead at the end. She could be the one that will blow this whole case wide open.”

 ***

Wade leaves the office with a new case and determination. What happens during the case is something that he and those around him will never forget.

The Path | Laveda D. Rockford

The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. (Proverbs 4:18)   The Path My days are filled with work. I work full time, caring for the lawn, flower garden, and I am a painter of oil on canvas, as well as a writer and blogger. I am Laveda D. Rockford. My Mother, her doctors say, is in stage four cancer and has been since 2015. However, we are blessed that she can still do a lot of things on her own. In fact, I took her to see my brother in Texas and she will be staying with him for a while. Her next injections are not until later this month. I have not had time to write even though I have started my third book. The publisher that I contacted to publish my second book gave me an estimate but when I was ready to pay, they did not contact me again. I am wondering about this as I do have the funds and would like to begin. If you know of a publisher that is interested in a Christian novel, please send me the information so I c...

A New Garden Feature | Laveda D. Rockford

Image
  A New Garden Feature Labor Day: a day set aside for special recognition of the workingman, or in this case, woman. In other words, it is a day to reflect on all of the work a person puts into their vocation. Though I have the day off, I still had to mow the lawn around my flower garden. And since I purchased a new garden feature, I had to post this about it. Purity is an especially important word in the Christian faith. The words purity and purify can be used interchangeably. Purity: the quality or state of being pure Purify: to grow or become pure or clean To honor our journey through this thing we call life, here is the new art feature in my flower garden. Life is what you make of it. You can make something good out of it or you can continue on the path that you have laid for yourself. It is all up to you. But if you decide to follow Jesus Christ, and pick up your cross and follow Him, it is a whole other life that, in the end, is well worth it. I pray that your L...

Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford

Image
  Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford I am trying my best in the heat of early summer to complete my flower garden borders. I have been working on this vision for almost two years and have finally reached a point where I can show you and you can understand. The newest section will contain a small patio area with table and chairs surrounded on one side with Buxus as a screen of privacy. Burgundy Plum and Cherry trees, as well as Sand Cherry and a few tulips will welcome spring weather. Then Iris will rise up until they burst into their beauty. Purple, yellow, and a burgundy and white combination. Oh, what a delight. Late spring into summer, Yarrow (Achillea) rise higher and throw on their crown of flowers acting as a forerunner into summer’s beauty. Phlox, Whirling Butterflies (Gaura) purple Salvia, Shasta Daisy, Hydrangea and Clematis all vie for attention in the summer sun. The Rose of Sharon, single and double, tree and bush, will bring forth their beaut...
