THE CASE OF THE BLACK PEARL RING: PIC OF SALIENT ZOON


In the previous excerpt, Cindy and Wade were ready to catapult through the air. They have to cross more than one street to reach the building where Yahreh is being held. No matter how many times they went over the plan, something always has a way of sneaking up on them. And that’s what happened during this choreographed assignment.

Cindy stopped short when she heard the voice. Cindy looked over the side of the building and motioned hold to Wade using her hand.
***
THREE-SHOT
Brad reached up and corrected his glasses.
BRAD:
“Do ya have somethin’ to eat?”
Sal looked at him long and hard.
SAL:
“No. Now get out of here.”
FS
On the back of Brads right glasses lens, a picture of the perp appeared.
FS
Brad reached up and clicked the button on the back of the ear piece to pause the notification. He wasn’t sure how loud the volume was. Since he was standing so near, he didn’t want to give away his cover.
THREE-SHOT TO THREE-SHOT REAR
BRAD:
“Come on.”
Brad said and reached out and grabbed Ben by the coat shaking him around. They both walked away, turning back a few times looking at Sal. They made sure to make it look like they were afraid of him and was checking to make sure that he wasn’t going to follow them.
FS TO TWO-SHOT
They turned the corner and looked back.
BEN:
“I wonder what Cindy and Wade are going to do now?”
BRAD:
Brad radioed it in.
“Cindy, did you hear that?”
CINDY, OVER THE EARPIECE:
“Affirmative. Did you get a pic of him?”
BRAD:
“Yes, looking at it right now. I’ll let you know soon enough.”
Brad pushed the pause button.
FS
The picture of Sal.
COMPUTERIZED VOICE:
“Match found, Gang member, Black Bloods, Salient Zoon, aka Sal, petty theft, aggravated assault, illegal handgun.”
Brad radioed it in.
BRAD:
“Cindy,…”
FADE OUT/ FADE IN


***
TWO-SHOT CINDY AND WADE/ LS/ TWO-SHOT CINDY AND WADE
Cindy stopped talking to Brad and looked at Wade.
CINDY:
“We’ve got a little problem. There’s a Black Blood standing below our position.”
Wade looked over the edge but couldn’t see anyone.
WADE:
“I don’t see him. He must be under the awning at one of the entrances.”
Not knowing what to do, Wade closed his eyes and said a silent prayer.
FADE OUT/ FADE IN
***
THREE-SHOT BRAD, BEN AND GEORGE
Brad and Ben caught up to George and discussed the situation. Not breaking their cover, they acted like a group of vagrants that haven’t seen each other in quite a while.
***
TWO-SHOT CINDY AND WADE
Wade looked at Cindy.
WADE:
“You’re not going to believe this but the LORD just answered my prayer.
CINDY:
“What did He say?”
WADE:
“I don’t understand it but He told me when I heard the bell, go.”
Cindy and Wade waited on the roof. Wade checked the equipment while Cindy contacted Ben.

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...

Ready For This | Laveda D. Rockford

  Ready for This Winter is shortly coming to an end, When spring colors do appear, What wonderful sights you see in shrubs and trees, Flowers of white, red, and yellow, with leaves of green, Shouts the joys of the spring, Singing loud before summers day, Oh, it is a wonderful day, When the earth wakes from sleep. © 2024 Laveda D.

Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford

  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...
