Staircase
An
excerpt from the screenplay by Laveda D. Rockford
In
The Case
of the Black Pearl Ring
Wade
Hamilton and the FBI team have some of Mr. Snit’s cronies on surveillance. FBI
Agent Steve calls into the command center to inform the lead agent what he
discovered. And THE CASE OF THE BLACK PEARL RING gets more interesting.

STEVE:
“Cindy, you’re not going to believe this.
In the front entry, I just watched a wall and a portion of the ceiling move to
expose the second floor. Something is going on.”
CINDY:
“What?”
STEVE:
“I was watching through their camera
system and saw Samata walk into the entry way with an assistant. The assistant
moved, what I think to be a lever behind the desk, and the wall to the left
disappeared into the adjoining wall; the design that is on the ceiling split in
half and the left portion was attached to the wall that disappeared. It opened
the ceiling to reveal a staircase and a huge chandelier. I wish I could have
heard what they were saying but you know we have no sound through their system.
I tried to read lips but Samata was moving around and I couldn’t get much. The
only thing I got from it was, ‘Wonderful. No bulbs out.’ Samata handed the assistant
a piece of paper before she left but she had her back to the camera. The front
entry is still closed.”
CINDY:
“That’s interesting. Keep an eye on it and
let me know what happens.”

Mr. Snit was dressed and ready to go. He
checked his watch and picked up the phone. He dialed and looked over his
manicure while he waited.
MR. SNIT:
“Samata, is everything ready?”
SAMATA, OVER THE PHONE:
“Yes, Sir.”
MR. SNIT:
“What about the guests?”
SAMATA, OVER THE PHONE:
“They will be arriving shortly. When will
you make your entrance?”

This is
one of my favorite things to do. I love to write, and I guess you could say
that is what keeps me feeling young. I am very busy all the time. Not by choice
but necessity. I already have some Christmas decorations up because I would not
have time again until late December and I really love the Christmas season. I celebrate
what God did for us by bringing His son Jesus Christ to earth who paid the
price for all of us. Anyone who asks will receive redemption. I am celebrating
that and will be giving thanks for it at Thanksgiving. God bless and have a
wonderful Thanksgiving celebration.
Love
always,
