EXT. – CENTENNIAL OLYMPIC PARK - NIGHT

JAMIE a beautiful brunette gazes into the white flowing water of the fountain as it springs up in front of her. Within a moment, a blink, the water surrounds her like a small moving cage. There’s a slight smile on her face, but her eyes are lost in memories.

She places her hands out to the side and allows the water streams to splash up against her open palms.

On the far end of the Park a MAN is walking with A FRIEND, they are busy talking among themselves to notice JAMIE.

MAN
We’ll be pulling the plug on Friday. The whole project is over.

FRIEND
It can’t be over, you have to get more time.

MAN
How the hell am I supposed to do that?

FRIEND
Marcus, you’re the damn CEO. We need for you to get some balls and keep the funding rolling along. We’re so close to a result.

Marcus stops and gazes at his friend for a moment.

MARCUS (MAN)
You had 2 years Jeremy. Two years and 3 million dollars. I can’t…
(notices Jamie and quiets)
I can’t keep this going. I’m sorry.

Marcus walks off in a hurry. His friend, Jeremy just watches him walk away.

JEREMY
Marcus. Marcus!

MARCUS
It’s over Jeremy… shi*’s over…

Jamie eyes them both and goes back to her peaceful trance. The dark night hovers over her like a lover under dark sheets.

Marcus continues down the concrete path passing a few inches in front of her. His eyes catch a glimpse of her smile, sweet. Almost wincing, knowledge fills him, her face familiar. Her closed eyes widen as the speckles of green take focus on his face. A moment is shared. Jamie’s elegant hands wrap around the back of her soaked shirt and before an exhale, she pulls around a 9mm pistol and shoots him dead. A loud echo ringing in the streets.

Jeremy sees the event from a distance and takes off running in the opposite direction. His body almost moving in slow motion before a sharp ringing in his ears and his eyes gain quick focus on the hard concrete of the park.

Jeremy suddenly DETONATES.

EXT. SPACE

Planet Earth hangs in front of a backdrop of stars. A FLASH appears on the surface, then the planet EXPLODES.

FADE OUT.

END.

EXT. - APARTMENT COMPLEX - DAY

A single dove raises its majestic wings and forces them down quickly sending it's frail body into the air. It soars along the side of an old 80's style apartment complex, taking in the brisk cool ocean air, until suddenly a computer monitor comes crashing into the Dove. Feathers rain down on the bystanders below who turn their heads up to the sky and notice distant screams and muffled cursing coming from the sixth floor.

INT. - STUDIO APARTMENT - DAY

STU, a twenty something that would be maybe 90 pounds soaking wet, yells out the window as he continues to through the rest of his computer out onto the street.

STU
Explodes... explodes, really, what kind of crack headed ending is that. What the f*ck were you thinking Stu.

Stu tosses his printer out of the window.

STU
I guess I won't be needing this... not with the **** I've been writing lately. A monkey somking banana peels could do better, a bear with palsy and a bad limp has more-

Stu's tantrum is suddenly cut off by the ringing of his rotary telephone.
