And Then....

She is resting..... tired.... spent...

Radiating in the corner is a hint of gold.... she reaches for the small figurine..... and gasps... because of its warmth.... she thinks "It's been touched"....


And Then....

Peace....


The lids of her eyes lower as she scans the room in search of the only person who could be responsible for displacing the figurine, after a brief search, she discovers the culprit only six feet away. She catches his escape only seconds before he reaches the bedroom door...She mutters in a raspy voice "baby...Uh..aren't you forgetting something?" He turns to face her. The sinister smile which adorns his face provides all of the answers required.

And then....

He closes the door slightly.... leaving the figurine at its base...... She wonders why.... but dares not go in...... "His smile"...... she says to herself..... thinking.... reminiscing.... "Why is he here?"..... "Why now?"...... "Why take something so precious from me?".....She turns away from the door.... She decides the figurine is not worth it.... She smiles ........a smile of peace on her face....

And Then....

"Of Course" he mutters....The sinister smile fades, and is replaced with a stare consumed with concern. For a moment she pauses, and strains to understand this new look...the lights within the small log cabin flicker, once...twice...And then

"CUT!" yells the Director, as both stars return to their respective dressing rooms after a long day's filming. A large bouquet of orchids sits on her vanity table. She leans in close to smell them and suddenly feels dizzy.

And Then......

she thinks "that AudioGuy is so sweet, he's such a..." she then frightfully remembers "I am allergic to orchids... they make me *cough* *cough* ..." She rushes from her dressing room to try to get help...

And Then...

Suddenly the stage manager rushes to her side. He happened to overhear her comments about AudioGuy and realized she was sufferring from severe delusions. He arrives just in time to help her to a nearby chair. He walks over to the orchids and notices a small blue card tucked between the stems.

And Then...

The stage manager opens the card and reads it to her, since she's not feeling so well. I reads, "U R mY faVoRiTe!!! I bE SeEiNg U laTeR!" The letters were obviously cut out of magazine advertisements. The stage manager looks at his star and says, "I'd better contact the police. I looks like you may have a stalker."

And Then...

NO, DON'T CALL THE POLICE, THE STAR REPLIED. IT'S PROBABLY NOTHING, BESIDES I FEEL BETTER NOW, AND I THINK WE NEED TO TRY TO FINISH THIS UP TONIGHT. AFTER REHEARSAL SHE WALKS TO HER CAR TO GO HOME, BUT SHE FEELS SOMETHING IS WRONG. SHE SEES A SHADOW BEHIND HER...


AND THEN

She grabs hold of the knife in her purse..... and keeps walking with steady, firm strides....keeping an external cool as her thumb fidgets with the "911" she's dialing on her cell pad in the other hand.....

She hears a female voice say "What's your location".... and she's thinking "GPS would sure be good right now"......

Casually she speaks into the earpiece as she looks around trying to gain familiarity.....


"Hmmmm.... I'm at...."....

She's stopped by a strong arm around her waist.....and palm across her lips.....

She bends her knees slightly and kicks upward and back.....

The arms are quickly released....

Frantically she turns around to find out she just pummeled.....


And Then.......

Frantically she turns around to find out she just pummeled AudioGuy.... He's crouched on the ground grimacing and taking slow deep breaths while he gently cupped his crotch... He says "Why'd you go and do that for? I was just trying to surprise you ... And where are those flowers I sent you? ... Whatsa matter? You don't like orchids?"

And Then...

I'M SORRY AUDIOGUY, I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS YOU. SHE HELPED HIM OFF THE GROUND, AND HELP BRUSH THE DIRT OFF HIS BLACK SLACKS. "YOU SENT ME THE ORCHIDS", SHE SAID. "I DID" HE SAID"YOU HAVE BEEN VERY STRESSED LATELY, AND I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING NICE FOR YOU. I KNOW IT IS LATE, AND YOU PROBABLY WANT TO GET HOME AND GET SOME REST, BUT I WAS WONDERING THERE IS THIS NICE COFFEE HOUSE ABOUT FOUR BLOCKS AWAY, WOULD YOU..BEFORE AUDIOGUY COULD GET THE QUESTION OUT OF HIS MOUTH SHE SAID, I WOULD LOVE TO GO.THEY DECIDED TO WALK..

AND THEN...

AudioGuy felt the rush of nausea overcome him like a rollercoaster. He barely had time to turn his head before he . . . earled . . . all over the floor, just missing her toeless shoes.

And then . . .

Audio Guy said, " I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. But, it's your fault ya know."

She said, "How is it my fault?"

Audio Guy replies, "It's that perfume you're wearing. It's truely disgusting. It makes you smell like a horse's ass. Mayo left in the sun for a week is less nauseating. "

And Then...

Flustered and perplexed she looks at him.....

blinks....

then calmly says...

but dear.....

"I'm wearing the perfume you picked out for me last week...."

"I didn't particularly like it either.... but I wore it to surprise you and let you know I value your attention...."

As she's speaking he begins to lean in closer.... he looks slightly past her with a frightened look..... he parts his lips to speak.... and says... firmly

"Don't turn around..... I see...."

And Then....

"...I see MBM and he's carrying a very large RBG Flag... and he's beating some conservative Black republicans severely about head with it..." He then says: "Let's go help him... that perfume is sure to knock out a few of them..."

And Then...

"....sure to knock out a few of them..... and... and..." and then he stumbles forward...... he says"I'm feeling dizzy"......It's the perfume I bought you.... It must be kryptonite or something....... Please go wash it off.....

She takes a look back at MBM beating up conservatives..... and AudioGuy about to collapse from the stench of his own gift to her.....

She shakes her head and wonders "How could I have allowed myself to get mixed up with this....?"

She realizes that the sooner she leaves the scene the quicker Audio Guy will get better....

She rushes home.... showers..... puts on fresh clothes....... revels in the scent of freshness.... and returns to the scene....

Only to find Audio Guy and MBM.........


And Then....

Peace....


...Are standing against a police squad car, with their hands clutched together fastened by handcuffs. One of the officers leans into his patrol car and grabs his radio. "Chief, we have apprehended the guys responsible for the perfume pranks..I'm bringin them in now..Over.
Oh by the way Chief, we're also gonna need an ambulance, there is another guy here with a few bumps and bruises...seems like there has been an altercation and assualt."

"What the hell happened here" the Director says as he approaches the scene. "Jeenah are you okay?"

She smiles, and nods casually..."Yes, I am fine.." she says.

Looming lazily in the night sky is a rusty haze, which seems to increase in magnitude as the moments past. Almost as if to shock the quiet darkness, a streak of lightning charges from the sky striking a nearby weeping willow. Bursting flames stretch in all directions.
Almost as if on cue, a huge explosion is heard coming from a research laboratory located less than a mile from the movie set.

"Come on Jeenah, we better get inside." The director gently nudges his lead actress. The nudge helps her to awaken from a hypnotic stare..."Yes" she says slowly, as if struggling to shake off the effects of a deep sleep..."I think that would be a good idea.."

And then



Kai

... the police officer, hearing the explosion, unhooks the handcuffs on MBM and AudioGuy and says "I better investigate... you guys get the hell out of here..." - The officer speeds away. AudioGuy looks at MBM and says: did that just happpen?? A cop [i]let us go???[/b]

MBM & AG start to walk away and MBM says: I wonder what that explosion at the Alternative Fuel Research Institute was about? Just then, a presidential motorcade races by...

And Then...

...... another explosion is heard........

*shots* ring out.....

Jeenah turns abruptly.... and begins to run....

away from the sound.......

The motorcade slows to a stop....

screams.....

"He's dead".... someone shouts....


"Oh, my God!... He's dead!".... someone shouts again....


And Then....

And Then....

"Audio Guy is dead!", she screams. "Why... How... aaaa hah hah hah hah.." she screams, like a mad woman that has lost everything that ever mattered to her. She falls to the ground, crying in spiritual longing...

and then...

SHE GRABS HER SILK BLOUSE AND LOOKS TOWARD THE HEAVENS.. WHY! WHY HIM? I LOVED HIM! I REALLY LOVED HIM! I CANNOT MAKE IT WITHOUT HIM!, SHE SCREAMS.

TEARS START TO FALL HEAVILY FROM HER EYES, AS SHE HEARD AUDIO GUY MOAN. WHAT ARE YOU SCREAMING ABOUT?

AUDIOGUY, I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD. IM SO GLAD YOU ARE ALRIGHT. HE LOOKED UP AT HER, AND THEN...

... I thought I was Black Viking for a second and I passed out, but I am okay now...

Did you see the presidential motorcade just now?? Coming from the direction of the Alternative Fuel Research Institute?? I wonder what he was up to? Did he find weapons of mass distaction there? Did he find some Al Kayda operatives there? I wonder what he's up to??

And Then...

Peace....

A car door opens from the lead vehicle in the motorcade. A monstrous mass packed into a black suit emerges from the vehicle. His hand clutches tightly against his earpiece..."Are you folks O.K.?" he says in a manner which displays more curiosity than concen. Audio Guy studies the Agent, and then replies"Yeah, we're fine..what is goin on over there?" the agent ignores the question, and turns to walk away..Audio Guy reaches reaches into his back pocket, the agent begins to reach for His weapon, and Audio Guy says "wait a minute.." Just then Audio Guy flashes a badge.."I am CIA"

And then

the monstrous man says "well good-we're going to have to take the woman with us-you understand company policy, she may know something." jeenah is then dragged kicking and screaming into the limo by the monstrous man named Max. Jeenah exclaims," I don't know anything, where are you taking me!" Max speaks very softely, "Ma'm just relax..."


and then

Jeenah puts her head in her hands.... and weeps out a soft.... "Relax???? "

"Yes...

relax...."......

the deep gruff voice responds....

sounding slightly muffled....

Jeenah looks up as Max....

seems to be removing his.....

face.....

She stares in horror as she realizes

he's had on a mask.....

and then screams as she realizes that

its....



And Then.....

Peace....

Her old boyfriend from Law school...She cries out, "Maurice, oh my God, what are you doing here?"

He smiles and says,"baby, you know that I have this strange 6th sense when it comes to you and trouble.."

He seems strangely relaxed as he reaches for the car radio..."Jeenah, do you know what's going on?"

She hesistates, her mind is divided between the the oddity of seeing Maurice, her old flame, and the occurances back at the set...

"No" she says..

"Well, there are a few things that you should know..Listen, I am going to take you somewhere safe."

He smiles..."Just so happens that I have a place not too far from here...Is it okay if we go there so that we can relax, and I can explain what's going on..?"

Confused and disoriented she agrees...However, somewhere in the recesses of her mind she realizes that his apartment is exactly where she wants to be...
For a brief moment she reflects on the passion filled nights they shared..How Maurice used to patiently examine her body with his hands and mouth in search of ways to drive her wild..

Sometimes there is too much passion, and time must be placed between such couples so that they can rejoion the civilized world...

She returns to his question, and her own answer..and adds.."Uh, Maurice...Your place?" Smiling now she says "Are you sure this is a good Idea?"

He laughs and replies..."I think it is a perfect idea.."


And then....
