"GIVE IT UP SONNY ! YOU KNOW YOU WONT GET A WAY WITH THIS ! LET THE HOSTAGES GO !"
Mira yells in big mic.
"DONT BE A FOOL DETECTIVE ! YOU KNOW I CAN KILL EVERY ONE OF THOSE PATHETIC HOSTAGES ! DONT PLAY WITH ME !" Sonny yells back. He is inside the bank holding hostages.
"COME ON ! YOU WANT A VAN AND A PRIVATE PLANE TO BRAZIL ! THIS THINGS TAKE TIME !"
"I KNOW THAT A WOMAN IN YOUR POSSITION CAN GET THOSE QUICK! YOU HAVE HALF AN HOUR AND THEN PEOPLE WILL START TO DIE , DETECTIVE !"
"Damn!" Mira says and turns off the big mic.
"Gatti , when will the plane and the van be ready?" Mira asks.
Gatti is on the cell phone.
"Sorry Mira , they`ll be ready in one hour minimum." He says and hangs up.
"Ok... Stone! Prepare the swat team and take a good position with your sniper rifle. I`ll be in radio contact." Mira says to Dave stone.
"Got you Sanchez! OK MEN , LOAD YOUR WEAPONS! ZERO HOUR IN 25 MINUTES!"
"Mira , maybe we should check with Rollie and Angie." Gatti says.
"Ok but we have 25 minutes before we bust in." She says to Gatti and walks to the FX van.
"Angie! what`s up with the camera Rollie installed in the air vents?"  Mira asks and climbs into the FX van.
"We have a problem Mira! The camera suddenly dosent work! We need to fix it quick!"
"Damn! We need to fix it now , or we`ll loose the edge we have on him!"
"Rollie ... Rollie are you there?" Angie says in the small mic.
"Yeah. What`s up Angie?" Rollie says in his small mic. He`s at the west side of the bank.
"Rollie , the mini camera is down we need to fix it now!" Angie says.
"Not now! Damn! I have problem with Bluey here. He`s camera is also down. I need to fix him!"
"Well Angie , what Rollie says?" Mira asks.
"Major problem! Even Bluey dosent work! And he is our only backup!" Angie says.
"GREAT ! JUST GREAT ! we have now only 20 minutes before stone and his people will start shooting there way inside the bank! I dont want a blood bath , Angie."
"WAIT! I`ll fix it ! I know where the camera installed. I`ll fix it!" Angie says.
"You know how? ... No , wait! its dangerous ! I dont want you to go there !" Mira says.
"NO ANGIE! DONT GO! I`LL BE THERE AS SOON AS I CAN!" Rollie yells in his small mic.
"Rollie , you dont have time! work on Bluey! I`ll try to fix it!" Angie says , takes off the small mic and picks up a screwdriver.
"NO ANGIE , DONT DO TH..." Rollie yells but Angie already took the small mic off.
She runs outside. Mira after her.
"WAIT ANGIE! Adlist let me give you some backup!" Mira yells.
"Ok! but quick!" Angie stops and says.
"Mike, Dan! You two escort Angie to air vent on the east side! It has an entrace there!"
"Ok Sanchez! Lets go Dan! " Mike says and they run with Angie to the east side.

Part 2

Location : The bank at mid-town south ( the east side)

Mike , Dan and Angie get to the east side safely.
Mike puts his gun inside his pocket.
"Dan , cover us! I`ll help Angie up!" Mike says.
"Ok Mike , got you covered!" Dan says and takes out his gun.
The entrance to the vent is quite high for Angie to reach in.
"I`ll give you a lift." Mike says and picks Angie up.
"Thanks." Angie says.
She opens up air vent with the screw driver and climbs inside.
"Thanks guys. Wait here, I`ll be back in 2 minutes." She says.
"Ok , 2 minutes." Mike says.
Angie crawls inside the vent tunnel. She sees the small camera attached to the end of it. Apperantly one of the wires is loosen up.
"There it is!" Angie thinks to herself.
She crawls fast to the camera and takes her scrawdriver.
While fixing the camera she sees Sonny ( the hostages taker ) moving around ,hitting some of the hostages with his gun.
But then the screwdriver falls out of her hand , making allot of noise.
"What was that?!" Sonny says and looks on the air vent. Then he starts running towards it.
"Oh no!" Angie says and trys to turn around fast but the vent tunnel is small.
Sonny pulls out the air vent covers (?) and sees Angie.
"Well, Well , Well... What have we got here?" He says while pointing the gun at Angie.
"Ugh... house cleaning?" Angie says but her heart is pounding fast.
"No... come here!" He yells.
Angie cralws to Sonny. He grabs her and throws her on the floor. Then he picks her up and drags her to the windows while aiming his gun on Angie`s face.
 
Meanwhile outside...

Rollie runs to Mira.
"Where`s Angie?" He asks.
"She`s inside the air vent trying to fix the camera."
"WHAT??!?! YOU SEND HER IN??!?! ARE YOU NUTS?!?!" Rollie yells like he`s about to chock Mira.
"She`ll be fine!" Mira says to Rollie in his face.
Then Mira hears in her radio.
"Mira , its Dan! Something`s wrong! Angie dosent come out!"
"WHAT?!?!" Mira and Rollie say together.
"DETECTIVE!!!" Sonny yells.
Mira and Rollie look at the bank. They see Sonny holding Angie by the neck aiming his gun to Angie`s head.
"IS THIS YOUR BEST DETECTIVE?!?! SENDING A SMALL BLOND GIRL TO STOP ME?!?! YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT!! AND WHERE IS THE VAN?!?"
"ITS NOT HERE YET! NOW LET HER OUT!" Mira yells in the big mic.
"I`LL LET HER OUT!" Sonny yells.
"YOU DO THAT NOW!!" Mira yells in the big mic.
"BUT I DIDNT SAY I`LL SEND HER OUT ALIVE !!"
"NO!! SONNY DONT DO THIS!!" Mira screams.
"SORRY MIRA!! THAT WILL SHOW YOU HOW SERIOUS I REALLY AM!!" He yells and walks far from the window inside the bank.
"ANNNGGGGIIIIEEE! I`LL KILL YOU MIRA!!" Rollie screams and start running towards the bank.
"STOP HIM!" Mira yells.
2 swat members start running after Rollie. They jump on him and they all ( including Rollie ) fall to the ground.
"NO!!! LET ME GO!! HE`LL KILL HER!! PLEASE!!!" Rollie screams and tears start to fall of his eyes.
"Youre Crazy! You wanna kill yourself?!?!" One of the swat members yells.
Rollie tries to run towards the bank but the swat people are stronger than him.
They start dragging Rollie back while Rollie tries to fight back.
"NO!!!! HE`LL KILL HER!! NO!!!" Rollie screams.
"Stone! Are you in position? You have green light to shoot! I repeat : green light!" Mira says in the radio.

inside the bank...

Sonny throws Angie to the floor.
"Sorry to do this Blondie..." Sonny says and loads his gun  "But I`ve gotta show to the detective out there and all the hostages here that I`m serious."
"WAIT!! Think about what you are doing!" Angie says hysterically.
"Oh... I already did."
He aims his gun slowly to Angie`s head.
Bye..." Sonny says and laughes.
Angie closes her eyes.

BOOM!!!

Part 3

Location : The bank at mid-town south. 

Angie opens her eyes, cant belive that she`s still alive.
She sees Sonny standing infront of her. A second later Sonny falls down to the floor , dead.
Angie looks at him. She sees he has a bullet in the back of his head.
"Oh god!" She says and closes her eyes again.
The swat team enters the bank with Mira in the lead.
Mira looks at Sonny`s body. Then she takes her radio and says "Nice shot Stone! I`ll mention you to Vanduran!"
"Just a regular day." Stone says.
Mira laughes and order to the swat team to help the hostages.
The swat team escort the hostages out of the bank.
Rollie comes running inside the bank.
He grabs one officers by the shirt and yells : "WHERE`S ANGIE!! WHERE`S ANGIE!!" .
The officer pushes Rollie back and yells : "CALM DOWN MAN! SHE`S OVER THERE!!" and he points at Angie who is still on the floor. Mira is near Angie ,  helping her up.
Rollie runs to Angie. He grabs her head and starts looking for injuries.
"Are you ok? Are you ok? Did he hurt you?" He asks nervously.
"I`m fine Rollie , I`m just a little shocked."
Rollie looks at Angie and Mira and then his face turns red from angre.
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!?! ARE YOU NUTS?!?!" He screams on Angie.
"Rollie! calm down!" Mira says loud.
"SHUT UP MIRA!! YOU`RE THE ONE WHO GOT HER IN HERE THE FIRST PLACE!! YOU ARE NUTS JUST AS HER!! YOU ARE BOTH BLOODY MORONS!!"
"ROLLIE!!!" Mira yells.
Then he looks on Angie.
"DIDNT I TELL YOU TO STAY INSIDE THE VAN?!?!?"
"But I just..." Angie says and her eyes turn red.
"DIDNT I??!?! AND DID YOU LISTEN?? NO!!!!"
"But I just... I just..." Angie starts crying on Mira`s shoulder.
"YOU JUST WHAT??!?! WHAT?!?!?! TRYING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED?!?! WELL ANGIE , I`M GLAD TO TELL YOU THAT YOU ALMOST SUCCEEDED!! " He screams , turns around and starts walking towards the bank`s exit.
"Are you ok Ange?" Mira asks calmly.
"No..." Angie says and wipes her tears off.
"I`ll go talk to him!" Mira says and starts walking fast towards Rollie.
"HEY!!" Mira yells to Rollie.
Rollie turns quick to Mira. His face is still red from angre.
"YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME MIRA!! YOU HERE ME?? STAY AWAY FROM ME!"
"You dont want me around you? FINE! But you really hurt Angie`s feelings there. Go there and apologize!"
"For what? for trying to save her life from YOUR bloody plan? I dont think so!"
"You know what? you right! I did act wrong! It was my fault and not hers. I put her in danger! take it out on me and not on her!"
"You bloody right its your fault! But she could have say no! its her fault as much as yours!"
Angie comes near.
"Look Rollie , I know what I did was wrong and... and I`m sorry." Angie says  , wiping her tears of her face.
Rollie looks at Mira and Angie.
"I...I cant look at your faces anymore. I just cant." He says and walks to the bank exit.
At the bank exit Rollie again looks on Mira and Angie. He`s noding his head slow for "no" and walks out of the bank.
He enters the FX van and slams the door behind him.
Angie runs outside from the bank and sees Rollie starts the van and drives away.
"ROLLIE!! WAIT FOR ME!!" Angie yells and runs after the FX van but the FX van leaves Angie in the dust , standing there as the FX van disspears into the city.
Mira comes near Angie.
"Leave him alone Ange , he`s just upset. Look , I`ll take you to the hospital and..." Mira says calmly.
"I`m ok Mira!"
"I know , just a routine check ... I`ll drop you after at the workshop. Hopefully Rollie will calm down by then."
"Ok Mira... Lets go."

Part 4

Location : outside the work shop  ( an hour later ). 

Angie gets out of Mira`s car.
"You sure you dont want me to come with you?" Mira asks.
"No thank you Mira. I can handle this."
"Ok , If you need someone to talk to , you have my number."
"Thanks Mira." Angie says and Mira drives away.
Angie walks to the front door. She takes a long hard breath and opens the door.
She sees Rollie there sitting and working on Bluey with a screwdraiver.
"Hi" Angie says and walks inside , closing the door behind her.
Rollie looks at her with a cold look for a few seconds. The look that says "Whatever" , but then he returns fixing Bluey.
Angie comes near Rollie and looks at him.
"Can I help?" She asks nicely.
Rollie again gives her the cold look and again returns fixing Bluey.
Now that really pisses Angie off. She takes a long hard breath. She starts count to 10 but she only get to 3 before she explods : "GOD DAMN YOU ROLLIE! WILL YOU JUST LOOK AT ME FOR MORE THEN ONE SECOND??"
Rollie slams Bluey on the desk and gets up fast. The chair that he sat on flies to the back.
"HERE! I`M LOOKING AT YOU!! HAPPY?"
"Rollie , we need to talk!"
"FINE! YOU WANT TO TALK? LETS TALK HOW STUPID YOU WERE TODAY!
"Stupid?? I wanted to saves lives Rollie! That`s why I tried to fix the camera! If that looks stupid to you then..."
"As I recall I told you to stay in the van! and that includes even if hell breaks loose and you didnt obey me!"
"OBEY YOU?? Since when I need to OBEY you ? Rollie, I thought we are a team!"
"Last time I checked I was the boss and you were my assistant."
"Only when we are working at movie sets! when we help Mira we are a team and we need to help each other."
"HELP? When we got there I told you stay in the van! This is the best help you could have given me!"
Angie looks at Rollie with a mad look. She nods her head for "no" and says slowly and viciously :
"I oughta kick you assuie butt but I`m afraid I`ll do you a BRAIN damage!"
Rollie points his scrawdriver in a vicious way to Angie and takes a sudden step closer to her. He is furious!
"You take that back right now... do you hear me?" He says in a weak vicious voice.
"NO! All I hear from you are complains , complains , complains ! Not even once you said 'Nice work Angie , but be carefull next time' , Dont you think I only wanted to help those hostages?"
"You..." Rollie points his screwdriver to Angie like a knife "who knew the master-plan, who understood it all, you who were ONLY TRYING TO HELP, almost wrecked the WHOLE BLOODY THING!"
"You know what? I can see you havent change all those years we were together! I`ll come back in few days when you`ll be a little bit more human!" Angie says angrily and walks fast to the front door.
"Sure!" Rollie yells to Angie and picks up Bluey "Just try not to take a bullet to your head on your way out!"
Angie suddenly stops near the door. Her back is to Rollie.
"You think you can do that Ange?" Rollie asks cynically.
She turns around slow. Now that hurts her.
"One day , you`ll regret that you said that , Tyler!" Angie says sweating and runs outside.

Part 5

Location : outside the work shop  ( 2 days later ).
 
Angie parks her car near the workshop.
Before going out of it she`s thinking what to say to Rollie. That little convestion they had 2 days ago wasnt the way she expected it to be.
She takes a long breath and steps out of her car. Just as she`s about to open the the front door of the workshop , Rollie opens it.
"Oh... Its you..." He says carelessly. He`s holding a box with the FX logo on it.
"Move! I need to go to the Killer`s Blood movie set." He says viciouly.
"Do... Do you need me today?" Angie asks but she`s quite shaken from Rollie.
"No...Not today. No computers involt." He says and walks towards the FX van.
He opens the rear doors.
"Ok... Can I stay at the workshop?" Angie asks.
"Do whatever you want , I dont care..." Rollie says while puting the box inside the FX van.
Just then Mira parks near with her car. She steps out of it.
"Rollie! Angie! I`m glad I caught you here! I need help with one of my cases. There is some guy that..."
"MIRA, YOU CAN TAKE YOUR BLOODY CASE AND STICK IN YOUR FAT A##! GET OUT OF HERE!"
"ROLLIE!" Angie yells.
"STAY AWAY FROM US MIRA!! YOU ALMOST GOT ANGIE KILLED!! I DONT WANT TO SEE YOU AROUND HER OR ME! GET OUT , NOW!!!"
"ROLLIE! WILL YOU JUST SHUT UP?!?!" Angie yells.
"Ok Rollie..." Mira says calmly and takes a few steps back "I know when I`m not welcome... bye , nice talking to you." Mira says and walks towards her car.
"MIRA! WAIT!" Angie yells and runs to Mira.
She stops Mira as Mira is about to enter her car.
"Look Angie... Rollie`s right... I almost got you killed 2 days ago at the bank. I can understand him."
"NO! You know what? If Rollie dosent want to help you , I`ll help you..." Angie says.
"ANGIE! DIDNT YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID? YOU ARE NOT HELPING HER!" Rollie yells.
Angie takes her look to Rollie.
"WHAT?!?! YOU DONT NEED ME TODAY! YOU SAID SO!"
"Maybe I should leave." Mira says.
"YEAH! MAYBE YOU SHOULD! SOONER THE BETTER!" Rollie yells , slams the rear doors of FX van and storms into the workshop.
Mira enters her car.
"Listen Mira... I apologize for Rollie. He`s still upset from what happend at the bank 2 days ago." Angie says calmly.
"Dont worry Angie. I`ll get other guys to help me. Thanks for the offering. Bye." Mira says and drives away.
Angie looks at workshop door.
She runs to it and opens it , almost tearring it up from its nails. She storms inside the workshop.
"ROLLIE!!!!" She screams.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!?!"
"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TELLING ME WHAT TO DO?!?!"
"I`M TRYING TO SAVE YOUR BLOODY LIFE!!"
"Ok Ok! Lets calm down here for a minute! Now, You said you dont need me at the movie set! so today youre not my boss!"
"I know what I said , I just cant belive you wanna help this ... this ..."
"Rollie , its my life! and If I wanna help Mira I`ll do that and you cant stop me!"
"YOU wanna help Mira!??! look at you : You small , you fragile , you... YOU cant take the heat! That`s why you always stay inside the van!"
"I cant take the heat??!?! Because I`m small?!?! This is the worst excuse I have ever heard!  Mira is small ! Gatti is small ! and it dosent stops them from catching criminals!"
"THEY have the expirence! They are cops!"
"Are YOU a cop , Rollie?? The way I figure it , You think just because you are 6`2 you can take the heat and never get hurt!"
"No! I just have more expirence than you in those things and what you did a few days ago at the bank really taught me something."
"And what is that?"
"NEXT TIME I`LL CHAIN YOU TO THE VAN! OR BETTER YET I`LL CHAIN YOU TO THE WORKSHOP!"
"CHAIN ME?? I Guess you forgot who saved your butt on a few times when we helped Leo! Remember the Sid Tibato? Who saved your butt in the Worik factory?? HA!?!" ( Sid Tibato from SHIVAREE )
"You are but ..."
"And who lied to all the directors and said you are sick when in reallity you went to play LETS CATCH THE BAD GUY with Mira insted doing your real job which is , if you cant remember , A MORON FX MAN!"
"MORON!?!?!"
"YEAH , A DUMB MORON FX MAN!! NOW I`LL CALL MIRA AND SAY TO HER THAT I AND I REPEAT , I WILL HELP HER!!"
"Fine! you do that! But let me show what will happen if you go and help Mira!" Rollie says angrily , opens a box thats near him , pulls out a gun and aims it to Angie.
Angie sees the gun.
"Rollie! What... What... Are you doi..." She takes a few steps back with her hands up but before she finishes the sentence Rollie pulls the triger.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Rollie fires 3 bullets at Angie`s chest. The bullets hit Angie.
"ROLLIE! I`M GONNA KILL YOU!! YOU MESSED UP MY SHIRT!!!" Angie screams.
The bullets that Rollie fired were blanks filled with red paint. After they hit Angie all the red paint splaterd on Angie`s shirt.
"SEE THAT?!?" He points at the gun.
"If you go to help Mira this gun will be real ! those bullets will be real ! this 'blood' will be your blood ! and you wont be standing there yelling! you`ll be DEAD!! YOU HERE ME ? DEAD!! JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER !! JUST LIKE LEO!!" Rollie yells and throws the gun hard at the floor.
OK , THATS IT!!!! I HAD WITH YOU!! YOU ALWAYS BOSSING ME AROUND EVEN WHEN WE ARE
NOT WORKING!! YOU THINK JUST BECAUSE YOU TALL AND YOU ARE A MAN YOU ALLOWED TO TAKE ALL THE RISKS !! YOU THINK YOU MY FATHER WHEN YOU ARE NOT!!"  Angie screams without taking even one breath.
"But..." Rollie tries to complete a sentece.
"BUT WHAT?!!? I 24 (?) AND I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF!! YOU KNOW WHAT?? I...I QUIT!!!"
That comes to Rollie as a suprise like a punch in the face.
"You...You what??" He rasies his eyebrows and comes near Angie.
"I QUIT!!" Angie screams to Rollie`s face.
Rollie looks at Angie for a few seconds without speaking. Suddenly his mouth start to giggle around.
"HA HA HA HA!!!" Rollie starts to laugh so hard , holding his stomach.
"WHAT`S SO FUNNY??!" Angie asks , even more angry than before.
"You are! From all you jokes thats... thats got to be the funniest!!" Rollie says while laughing.
Then he start walking towards the kitchen.
"Oh Angie , youre killing me : 'I QUIT' ! HA HA HA HA! now... now get back to work please." He says while laughing.
Angie stands there , shocked. Her mouth was wide open. He dosent take her seriously.
"You... You think I dont mean it??" Angie asks.
Rollie opens the fridge and takes a can of pepsi. Then he turns around to Angie.
"THINK? THINK? I *KNOW* you dont mean it!" He says , opens the can and takes a sip.
"Maybe you couldnt hear me through this long hair of yours! I said I QUIT! BYE ROLLIE!" Angie says and storms out of the workshop. She slams the door on her way out.
"What in bloody hell...?" Rollie says to himself and runs outside just to see Angie enters her car.
"ANGIE!! ANGELA RAMIREZ!! GET YOUR BLOODY BUTT INSIDE THE WORKSHOP THIS MINUTE!!" Rollie screams.
"WELL GUESS WHAT?!?! YOU ARE NOT MY *BLOODY* BOSS ANYMORE, *MATE* !!" Angie screams, starts her car.
"WHAT?!?!?!?!" Rollie screams but he heard what she said.
Angie drives away.
He stands there , looking at Angie`s car with Angie in it fades away into the city.
"What...What did I do?" Rollie asks himself.
Is this the end?

Part 6

Location : The workshop  ( half an hour later ).

Rollie is walking around back and foward , making holes in the floor. He cant stop thinking about Angie.
"Why did she quit? What did I do to hurt her?" Rollie asks himself.
Then the telephone rings.
"Bluey , speaker please..." Rollie says.
Bluey presses the speaker button.
"Rollie... its Angie."
"ANGIE!!" Rollie runs like hell to the phone and picks it up.
"ANGIE, Its so good to hear you , I..."
"Yeah, Yeah.... Listen... I need to get back to the workshop."
That sparks a light of hope in Rollie`s heart.
"I knew you change your mind about working with me..." Rollie says calmly and smiles.
"Working with you again??? HA HA HA!!" Angie starts to laugh on the phone.
"HELL NO! I just forgot to pick up my last paycheck!" She continues but she`s not laughing anymore.
"What?? What?? Angie , you dont mean it!" Rollie says , almost cries. He feels like Angie took a sword and sticked it in his heart.
"DO I SOUND LIKE I DONT MEAN IT , TYLER??" Angie yells slow and seriously.
"But...But..." Rollie says in a shaky voice.
"BUT WHAT?"
"OK ANGE ! LETS CALL IT QUITS ! YOU HAD YOU FUN AND I HAD MINE ! NOW PLEASE COME BACK!"
"NO! I dont wanna be near a man who thinks he can control me any time he wants and judge people by thier height!"
"But Angie , I..."
"I`ll be at the workshop in 10 minutes to pick up my paycheck." Angie says and hangs up the phone.
Rollie puts the phone slowly.
He looks at the picture near the phone. Its a picture of him and Angie smiling together.
"Why Ange , Why??" He asks himself.

Part 7

Location : The workshop  ( 10 minutes after ).

Angie walks into the workshop.
She sees Rollie sitting near the phone , looking at the picture.
"Rollie , I`m here." Angie says loud.
"I`ll...I`ll give you your check in a minute." Rollie says slow but he isnt looking at Angie.
"Do it quick , I dont have much time!" Angie says in angre and comes near him.
She sees the picture.
"Look at this picture Ange, remember that time when..."
"Dont get too emotional with me now! Just give me my check and I`m outta here."
"Ok Ok!" Rollie says and opens a drawer. He takes a check book and a pen.
He writes the check but suddenly he looks inside Angie`s eyes.
"Angie..." He says slow like he`s about to cry "I begging you to reconsider this. I dont wanna loose you as my partner."
"Partner?? Oh! Now I`m your partner and not your damn slave! ... Too late Rollie , besides If I wanted to come back I would have tell you this on the phone."
"But Angie , I dont understand , just because I want you to be safe you are angry at me?"
"NO! The fact that you always boss me around even when we are not working! and a few days ago at the bank... Just ... Just give me my damn paycheck!" She says and reaches her hand.
Rollie gives Angie the check. Angie takes it and looks at it.
"You cheap Aussie." She thinks to herself.
"Thanks... and you can have this back." Angie says and takes out her key to the workshop and puts it on the table.
"No , you can have it. I... I just hope that you`ll understand one day that what I`m doing is for your best."
"Yeah right... Bye Rollie , it was nice working with you." She says carelessly and walks towards the front door.
Rollie gets up from his chair.
"Angie..." He says loud.
Angie stops and turns around.
"What?"
"So this is it? This is the way we gonna end our partnership and our friendship?"
"Well...yes!" Angie says cynically.
She walks to the door and opens it.
"Angie..." Rollie says loud again.
"WHAT?!"
"I..." Rollie tried to say something but he couldnt.
"You what?" Angie asks viciously.
"Noth...Nothing..."
"Oki doki...bye!" Angie says and walks out of the workshop , closing the door behind her.
Rollie drops to his chair.
"WAF" He hears Bluey comes near him.
"I`m sorry Bluey but its her decision. I just couldnt...couldnt..." A tear falls out of his right eye.
He looks at the door with his red eyes.
Maybe Angie will pop in again and tell him that this whole thing was just a big joke.
He waits and waits but it dosent happen. Rollie is alone.

Part 8

Location : Angie`s house ( the next day).

Angie wakes up late. The first time she does it.
After getting dressed and getting something to eat she realizes that she dosent know where to go.
"I`m not getting back to him so I`ll guess I`ll start looking for a job." Angie says to herself.
She walks out of her house to the grocery (sp?) store and buys a newspaper.
After returning to her house , she start looking at the wanted ads.
Something there caught her eyes :

            & nbsp;             ;            &nb sp;            & nbsp;         New FX studio opened called Illusions.
           &nb sp;            & nbsp;             ;            &nb sp;          Assistant male / female needed.
           &nb sp;            & nbsp;             ;            &nb sp;          Skills in computer requierd.
           &nb sp;            & nbsp;             ;            &nb sp;          Phone 555-7621.
           &nb sp;            & nbsp;             ;            &nb sp;          Dean Jerod.

"Wow! I can do this! I have the experience." Angie says to herself.
She picks up a pen and circle the ad including the address.
Then she picks up her phone and dails the number.
After a few rings someone answers the phone.
"Illusions studio , may I help you?" Angie hears a man voice.
"Ugh... Yes. Hello , my name is Angela Ramirez. I call about the ad in the newspaper. May I speak the Dean Jerod?"
"This is Dean Jerod." Says the voice from the other side.
"You work alone ? you dont have secretary or something?" Angie asks.
"Tell you the truth , I dont like secretaries. I like to do my own job and the assistant I need is not for secretary job."
"Good , well listen... I have allot experience in computers. Also some in FX equipment."
"You sound very resourceful. Ok... hop in today with your reseme (sp?). Lets say around 14:00?"
"Ok...I`ll be there." Angie says and smiles.
"I`ll first write down your name. Its Angela Ramiz , right?"
"No , that`s Ramirez. R-A-M-I-R-E-Z."
"Sorry Angela. ok , got it. See you today, you have the address?"
"Yeah...Bye."
"Bye." Dean says.
Angie hangs up the phone and smiles to herself.
She feels pretty good for once.
"I wonder what about Rollie." Angie thinks and about to pick up the phone.
"NO! What the hell am I thinking? I quit for a reason. I need to show him that I strong. Ok Angie, lets make some reseme." She thinks to herself and walks to her computer , turns it on and starts typing ( that`s afcourse after loading a program).
 

Part 9

Location : Illusions studio ( the same day , 14:00 ).

Angie parks her car near a quite large studio. Not big like Rollie`s workshop but still big.
She sees a big beautiful sign. Its reads : "ILLUSIONS STUDIO - DONT BELIVE YOUR EYES ! owned by Dean Jerod. "
"Nice slogan." Angie says to herself and walks to the front door.
She buzzes the bell.
"Its open." Angie hears a voice through a small speaker that was there.
Angie enters the studio.
She looks around. All sort of FX stuff are on the floor. Some of them are in a pile.
Explosives , a few dolls  , fake blood capsuls , fake guns , 2 computers and afcourse the big machine with the stuff that make masks to the face ( You know what I mean ).
Its not the workshop , not allot of high tech gears , no Bluey and afcourse no Rollie but it still looks nice.
Angie walks a few steps more. She sees a man working on some futuristic robot.
He`s about 5`11 , quite muscular but not too much , handsome , dark hair ( not long ) and he has little black paint spots on his face.
Angie takes a long breath.
"Exuse me? Are you Dean Jerod?"
Dean stops working on the robot and looks at Angie.
"Yes... You must be Angela Ramirez. I`m glad you here."
He comes towards her with his are reached foward to shake Angie`s hand.
His hand is coverd with oil.
"Ugh..." Angie says.
"Oh! Clumssy me..." Dean says while laughing a small laugh.
He picks up a towel and clean his hands and his face.
Now he shakes Angie`s hand.
"Nice place you got here... did you set it all up yourself?"
"Well..." He scratches his head "Yeah... I know its not much because I`m just starting this business."
"Dont worry , it looks good. For first time. Here are my reseme." Angie says and takes out of her bag a few papers.
Dean takes the papers.
"Look , I`m so dumb! I didnt offer you a sit or a drink... lets sit over there." He points to a small table with a few chairs around it.
While walking towards it he asks : "You want something to drink , eat?"
"Thanks. Something to drink please..." Angie says and sits down.
"Is beer ok?"
"Yeah , beer would be fine. Thanks."
Dean puts the papers on the table and walks to a small fridge. He takes 2 beers and comes near the table.
"Here you go Angela." He says , gives the beer to Angie and sits down.
He takes the papers and starts reading.
"Hmmm... good. looks like you`ve got allot of experience in computers , and I mean allot! You broke into the pentagon?
Let me tell you , this is something you dont right in a reseme." Dean says and smiles.
"I`ll keep that in mind." Angie says and smiles too.
"You said you also have an expirience with FX equipment?" Dean asks.
"Yeah , its on the other page." Angie says.
Dean turns the page and starts to read.
While reading his eyes grows bigger and bigger.
"Wait a second! It says here you worked for Tyler`s FX! You mean Rollie Tyler , THE Rollie Tyler?"
"Yeah" Angie says in a dessperate voice.
"What`s wrong Angela?"
"I... I dont wanna talk about it." Angie says and picks up her beer.
"Ok , youre hired!" Deam says happily. The he looks at Angie and continues : "Although I dont know why you quit. I mean we`re talking about Rollie Tyler here."
"I have my reasons."
"Ok... Your reasons are yours. I hope one day I`ll be like this Tyler guy and..."
"Will you stop talk about him!?!" Angie says and slams the beer on the table.
"Wow wow! calm down! I`m sorry. I didnt mean to..."
"That`s... that`s ok , sorry I snapped. I`m just having a bad week..."
"You know what? forget this little incident. Lets go out to the back. I wanna show you my... I mean our wheels."
They walk out to the back of the building.
"TA DA!" Dean says loud.
Angie sees a van. Like the FX van only white and a little bigger. On the van its written illusions - Dean Jerod.
"Wow!" Angie says , impressed "Is it yours?"
They walk near the van.
"Yeah... well it was my father`s van. After he died he left it too me."
"Oh , I`m sorry Dean , I didnt mean to..." Angie says worried.
"No , its ok... You see this?" He points at the illusions logo on the van.
"I`ll add your name there too so people will know we are a team , Angela."
"You can call me Angie." Angie says and smiles.
"Ok Angie , you can call me Dij or DJ but Dean is find by me. Let me show you what I have in the back of the van."
Dean opens the rear doors of the van. There are few computers , screens , keyboards , the whole electronic stuff.
Angie climbs inside the van and starts looking at the electronic gear.
"I know some of those arent working or hooked yet but I was gonna install them." Dean says.
"No , let me install them. I will make the maximum of those in a small time." Angie says and picks up a keyboard.
"Hey , since you are my new partner and you know what you are doing , I`ll let you handle this."
"I thought I`m your assistant." Angie says while holding the keyboard.
"No , assistant sounds like you work under my command. Partner sounds better. We`re equal Angie."
"Ok Dean , looks like we off on a good start. You want me to..." Angie says but then she sees Dean sits inside the van with his legs outside. His back is infront of her.
"Are you ok?" Angie asks and jumps out of the van.
"Look Angie, I`m new in this FX buissnes. You worked for Rollie Tyler and I know he has hi-tech stuff, touchble screens , bigger workshop , PDAs and other cool stuff. I...I cant supply those things to you. What you are seeing here : the van , the studio , the computers is what I could afford. So I`ll understand if you dont want to work with me."
"Dean... Look at me!" Angie says.
Dean looks at Angie`s face. Angie smiles.
"Cheer up , I know we`ll successed. I know we`ll be great together. You look like a guy who knows what he`s doing."
"I sure hope so Angie... now that you on my side , I know we`ll successed." Dean says.
"So what do you want me to do now?" Angie asks.
"Now? You can go home. I`ll finish here. But tommorow be here at 10:00AM ok?"
"Sure thing." Angie says and shakes Dean`s hand.
"Wait Angie , I`ll walk you to the door. Oh! I almost forgot. Here`s your key to the studio." He takes out of his pocket a key and gives it to Angie.

Part 10

Location : The "killer`s blood" Movie set ( a few days later ).

writers`s note : 1. "Killer`s blood" is the movie set where Rollie is working.
           &nb sp;             2. Durring those days Angie helped Dean in the studio and they are getting along fine.

"CUT!!! ROLLIE WHERE ARE THE LIGHTINGS AND THE EXPLOSTIONS I WANTED IN THE SCENE?!?!"
The director screams.
Rollie is standing behind his triple screen. He looks at it but he dosent answer.
The director comes near.
"ROLLIE!!!" He yells.
"Ha?? What??" Rollie says like he just wakes up.
"Rollie? What`s the matter with you these days??"
"Sorry Steve , Its just that my assistant quit her job and..." Rollie tries to explain.
"I dont care! Where are the lightings and the explostios I wanted?" Steve asks angrily.
"Well , I programmed the time trigger on the computer. I dont know what happend."
"Rollie!! Its the forth day you screw the scene up!! FIX IT OR YOU ARE FIRED!!"
"But...But..." Rollie says nervously.
"No buts!! You have 5 minutes to fix it or I`ll hire anohter FX man!!" Steve says angrily and walks away.
"FIVE EVERYONE!!" Steve yells.
"Bloody great! Just when I need Angie!! Oh well..." He thinks and runs to the FX van.
He sits infront of the computer and starts program the time trigger for the explosions and the lightings.
Just then the computer shuts down with an error message.
"NO!! NO!! DONT DO THIS TO ME NOW!!" Rollie yells and starts hitting the screen.
"BLOODY HELL!! What Angie would do in this situation?? damn you Angie!! where are you when I need you??" Rollie thinks.
Then Steve ( the director ) comes near the van
"Well Rollie , did you fix it?"  he asks.
Rollie steps out of the van.
"I... I couldnt fix it. If you give me a few days I`ll..."
"YOU ARE FIRED!!! GET OUT OF HERE!!"
"Please Steve , all I ask are a few..." Rollie says and a shaky voice.
"IF YOU CANT DELIVER I`LL FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN!! TAKE YOUR STUFF AND GET OUT!!!"
"MS. LOPEZ!!" The director screams.
A woman comes running. She`s holding a pen and a notebook.
"Yes Mr. Knott?" She says.
"Find me another FX man as quick as you can. Rollie is history."
"But I..." Rollie tries to explain.
"Youre still here??" The director asks cynically and goes away.
Rollie starts banging his head on the FX van.
"BLOODY HELL!!! DAMN!!!" He screams.
After his head got bigger from the banging Rollie starts to load his stuff on the FX van. He cant belive this is happening.
Ms. Lopez comes near Rollie.
"Rollie , the director told me to tell you that you need to come tommorow
to his office. He`ll give you a paycheck for the days you worked here."
"Thanks..." Rollie says and puts the last box inside the van "Well I should be heading home now."
Ms. Lopez stops him.
"Wait Rollie... what happend to you? The first days you worked here you were incredible and now..."
"I..." Rollie rubs his eyes "I dont know. Since my assistant left me its all been downhill. I feel like I`m falling apart."
"I know how you feel Rollie."
"With all do respect , I dont think you do..." Rollie says angrily and walks inside the van , starts the engine and drives away.

Part 11

Location : The police station.

"Mira!" Gatti yells.
"What is it Gatti?" Mira asks while getting some coffee of the coffee machine.
Gatti comes near her.
"Remember Jim THE TOASTER Becker?" Gatti asks.
"Yeah , its the guy whom Rollie and Angie helped me to catch a month ago. Why? He`s not out , is he?" Mira asks nervously.
"No , he`s still in jail but he wants to talk to you."
"What about?" Mira asks and takes a sip from the coffee.
"I dont know but he smiles like the devil every time I ask him."
"He is the devil Gatti...Ok , I`ll go talk to him." Mira says and steps out of the police station.
She drives to the Mid-town south jail. She says to the guard that she needs to speak with Jim Becker.
The guard tells Mira to sit down near the phone ( where there is a mirror separating between the prisoner and the one he talks too).
After a minute Mira sees Jim Becker enters and sits infront of her behind the mirror.
They pickup the phone together.
"What is it Becker? I dont have much time."
"Hi detective Sanchez. I just wanted you to know that you are all dead."
"If I had a penny for every time I heard that Becker..." Mira says carelessly.
"I pushed the button Mira. I hired the best hitman money can buy. You know him as the SHADOW."
"The SH...SHADOW?"
Mira starts to sweat. Just hearing the name makes her moving in her seat.
"Nervous Detective? You should be." Becker says and smiles an evil smile.
"How...How did you contact him? no one can contact him. No one knows how he looks like or where to find him."
"I have a friend who knows a friend who knows a friend who knows the SHADOW."
"You said you are all dead so its not just me..." Mira says.
"Yeah , there is the small matter of your FX friends : Tyler and Ramirez."
That`s ticks Mira off.
"I swear to you Becker , if someone will hurt them or even looks at their way I..."
"You what? send me to jail for life?" He laughes "Sorry Mira... I already have about 100 years to be here."
"I heard that this SHADOW charges allot. How much did you pay?"
"Since you gonna die I dont care if I tell you. I paid 3 million dollars. That`s a million each."
"That`s allot of money Becker. Why spending it on us?"
"Because I cant use it here... You know what I like about the SHADOW? no one knows how he looks like and he can kill you any time."
"I...I think we should end this little converstion Becker."
"Sure , Just tell this to your little friends. Make your last days happy together , ok?" He says and laughes.
Mira hangs up.
She`s a detective and dosent affriad of any criminal but this is gone too far.
The SHADOW is known as the best hitman for hire. No one saw his face , know one knows he looks like.
The SHADOW has a big record of killing people. He started acting a few years ago.
The scary part is that this guy has allot of ways killing people. Not only one.
His past shows killing from far , close , making things looks like an accident and even using explosives.
He has allot of advantege of Mira , Rollie and Angie and this gives Mira the creeps.

Part 12

Location : The "killer`s blood" Movie set ( a day later ).

Rollie comes near Steve Knott`s ( The director ) office.
He sees Ms. Lopez there , sitting behind a desk.
"Hi" Rollie says "Is Steve available?"
"Wait , he talks with our new FX man there. Take a sit." Ms. Lopez says and points at a chair near the office door.
"Oh ok. Thanks." Rollie says , walks to the chair and sits.
"Listen Rollie , if it means anything to you , I hate to see you gone." Ms. Lopez says.
"Thanks...  Sorry I snapped at you yesterday. I`m just having a very bad week."
Then Rollie hears voices from Steve`s office.
"So we have a deal?" that`s Steve`s voice.
"Wait , I need to speak with my partner. What do you say partner?" Rollie dosent reconize this voice.
"Sure , the money is good and its the first time you`ll show how good you are in the FX business."
Rollie reconizes this voice but he cant belive it.
He runs towards the office door and opens it.
He cant belive his eyes.
"ANGIE??!"
That spooks Angie for a second. She turns around.
"Rollie? so you are the FX man they fired..."
"TYLER!! Get out of my office. I`ll talk to you later!" Steve yells.
"You are the new FX man?" Rollie asks Angie and enters the office.
"Is this ... is this Rollie Tyler?" Dean asks. He`s nervous.
"Yeah Dean." Angie verifies it.
"OH MY GOD! MAN , ITS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU! I ALWAYS WANTED TO MEET YOU!" Dean yells happily.
"What?? Who the hell are you??" Rollie asks. He dosent know what`s going on.
"My name Dean Jerod and I`m an FX man. Angie is my partner. I`m sorry we meet this way but..." He comes near Rollie with his hand reach foward ready to shake Rollie`s hand.
SMACK!!
Rollie punches Dean in his face. Dean falls to the floor ( he didnt expect this kind of reaction ).
Then Rollie jumps on him and starts punching Dean again and again in the face.
"I`M GONNA KILL YOU MAN!!! I`M GONNA KILL YOU!!" Rollie screams.
"ROLLIE!! ARE YOU NUTS!?!!?" Angie screams and tries to push Rollie of Dean but she`s not strong enough.
Dean`s face start to bleed but Rollie dosent stop. Again and Again Rollie`s punch meets Dean`s face.
Ms. Lopez runs into the office.
"MS. LOPEZ!! CALL SECURITY!! NOW!!" Steve yells to her and runs to Rollie , tries to get Rollie off Dean.
After 5 seconds 2 security man run into the room. They grab Rollie back but Rollie fights back.
While dragging Rollie outside of the office Rollie screams "YOURE DEAD JEROD!! YOU ARE BLOODY DEAD!!"
"Oh god... I ... I think he broke my nose..." Dean berly says , lying on the floor.
"Are you ok?" Angie asks nervously. She and Steve help Dean up.
"Sorry Mr. Jerod. I`ll make sure the police will know about this..." Steve says.
"Ms. Lopez , call a the police and a doctor!" Steve yells.
"I`m... I`m ok. And dont call the police. I dont wanna put him in jail."
"But Mr. Jerod..."
"I said NO!" Dean says and drops to the chair. He holds his face.
"Well , the good news are that my nose is not broken. The bad news are that it hurts really bad..." Dean says.
"Dont move Dean! I`ll clean your blood." Angie says , takes some handkerchiefs from Steve`s desk and cleans Dean`s blood from his face.
"Is this the way he treats all your friends? Because I`m afraid to know how he treats your enemies." Dean says.
"Dont worry Dean. I`ll handle him. Here...you look better now." Angie says and smiles.
"Look Mr. Jerod... Maybe it will be better if you`ll start tommorw and not today to work."
"No No, I`m fine." Dean says while holding his nose.
"Yeah Mr. Knott. He`s a tough guy. We can start today."
"See... You cant argue with that." Dean says and tries to smile but even smiling causes him pain.
"Ok , Let me show you around the set and here are the scripts." Steve says and gives Dean some papers.
"Lets get to work." Dean says.

Meanwhile outside the set...

The 2 security guards throw Rollie outside from the building.
"And dont come back or the police will be involt!" one of them says.
"Shut up mate! I know someone in the police so dont mess with me!" Rollie says angrily while getting up.
"Just stay out!"
Then the security guards get back into the building.
"Bloody hell!" Rollie says and kicks a stone. He starts walking towards the FX van.
Just as he about to enter he sees Angie , Dean and Steve. Steve is showing them the set and it looks like Angie is happy. She all smiles and laughes.
Rollie suddenly gets flashbacks about him and Angie working togethor at movie sets. All the great time they had together.
But he knows Angie wont come back to him and punching Dean only made it worse.
He enters the FX van , gives another sad look to the movie set and drives away.

Part 13

Location : Outside the workshop ( the same night ).

Mira knocks on the front door.
"Rollie! open up! Its Mira! I have bad news! Its about Jim Becker!" She yells.
"Wait...Wait a second." Rollie says.
The door is opend.
"Hi (HICK!) Mi...Mira..." Rollie says but he`s not standing straight. He`s holding a beer in his hand.
"Pew!" Mira covers her nose "Are you drunk?"
"Me? Naaaaaaa! What ma... (HICK!) makes you think th...that?" Rollie says in a funny voice and takes a sip from his beer.
"INSIDE! NOW!" Mira yells.
"Ok copi! (HICK!)"
Rollie turns around to enter the workshop but he bangs his head in the door.
"God Rollie!" Mira says and pushes him inside , enters the workshop and closes the door behind her.
Rollie starts walking inside the workshop but then he falls.
"Rollie! are you ok?" Mira asks nervously.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAH!" Rollie starts laughing.
"AH! Life is good!" He says while lying on the floor. He picks up the beer the fell on the floor and starts drinking it.
"GET UP ROLLIE!"
"And what if I dont?? are you gon...(HICK!) gonna arrest me??"
"I might just do that!"
Rollie tries to get up but he falls down again. Mira comes to him and helps him up but then she sees allot of empty beer bottles scatterd around the workshop.
"Rollie! how much did you drink?"
"I dont know. about 1..2... hundred beers... You wanna join me ( HICK!)?"
"I think I`ll pass for now... Rollie , touch your nose and walk staright to me."
Mira says and walks infront of Rollie.
Rollie tries to touch his nose.
"Ugh... I think my nose is gone." He says and laughes.
"Try to work straight to me." Mira says.
"Ok..." He says and walks in zigzag. Then he slips on a beer bottle and falls down again.
"ROLLIE!" Mira yells.
Rollie gets up slowly and looks at Mira with his watered eyes.
"WOW MIRA! You look soooo good!" He says in drunk voice and comes near Mira.
He tries to touch her chest.
"ROLLIE!" Mira yells.

SMACK!

Rollie gets a slap in his face.
"What the hell happend to you? Where`s Angie?" Mira asks in angre.
"Angie? (HICK!) she... she`s out there... playing..." He says and takes another sip from his beer.
"Rollie , I have bad news and I need to find Angie but I guess you are not very helpful now , arent you?"
"Oh , I`m helpful , very hel (HICK!) ful... you want me to catch some bad guy? I`ll get my keys and G...Gluey." Rollie says and walks in zigzag to the table.
He picks up a keyboard and says to it : "Lets go Gluey... Mira needs our help. Now where (HICK!) are my keys?"
"Rollie!" Mira yells but Rollie dosent listen.
"Here are my keys!" He says and picks up a banana.
"I`m ready Mira...are we gonna catch El (HICK!) Capone?"
"The only thing you gonna catch is a very long sleep! I dont know what`s going on here and where`s Angie but... oh! dosent matter!"
"Sleep? (HICK!) I`m fine..."
Mira comes near him and drags him to the stairs.
"Up Mister!" Mira commands Rollie.
After seeing Rollie`s getting a trouble doing the first step up she puts herself under his arm and starts helping him up.
"Look Mira! Red cows!" Rollie says in a drunk voice while walking upstaris.
"Right Rollie , red cows..."
She helps him up to the bedroom.
Like her own son she puts Rollie into bed and covers him with blanket.
"Mira (HICK!) you... you... ZZzzzZZZzzz" Rollie closes his eyes and sleeps.
Mira smiles to herself and crosses her arms.
"Rollie  , allot of bad things happned to you but nothing like the headache you`ll have in the morning." She says to herself.
Then Mira picks up her cell phone and dails to Gatti`s home.
"Hi Francis... its Mira. I`m at the workshop....No I havent told him yet about Becker and the Shadow... Why? because he`s drunk!... You heard me and I dont know where Angie is...Fine ok I`ll do that...Just cover me for me tommorow , I might be late...Thanks Francis...bye..."
"GATTI!" Rollie suddenly yells with his eyes closed.
"SAY TO YOUR 3 SONS I SAID HELLO... ZzzzZZzzzZZ." He goes back to sleep.
"Yeap... that was Rollie alright...I told you he`s drunk...I`ll stay here tonight incase Rollie will do something foolish...Yeah...Bye." Mira says and hangs up.
"Well Rollie , I guess I`m spending the night here." Mira says and goes out of the bedroom.

Part 14

Location :  the workshop ( the next day ).

Mira is in the kitchen making coffee.
"I wonder when Rollie gonna wake up..." She says to herself.
Then she hears from up staris "OOHHHH GOD!!! MY HEAD!!!!!"
Mira smiles to herself. Rollie`s up.
She takes the coffee and goes up stairs to the bedroom.
"Good morning! How are we today?" Mira says happily.
"M...M...Mira? what are you doing here??" Rollie says in a weak voice and rubs his eyes.
"Well..." Mira says , gives Rollie the coffee and sits near him "after the little... ugh...preformance you did last night I thought I should stay and keep an eye on you."
"Preformance?? oh no! all I remember is...I dont remember anything from last night!!"
"Calm down. You were cold drunk. I came to tell you and Angie some bad news and...well like I said you were drunk. Where`s Angie by the way?"
"She..." Rollie says and drinks the coffee "She`s not working here anymore."
"What?? what happend? I hope its not related to what happend in the bank a few days ago."
"Well , it is. She decided I`m to bossy for her... Mira, can you please give me some aspirin? Its on the shelf there." Rollie says and points at the shelf.
Mira takes the aspirin from the shelf and gives it to Rollie.
Rollie opens the bottle and takes 2 pills and swallows them with the coffee.
"Thanks...wow , I needed that." Rollie says and closes his eyes.
"Rollie ,  I have really bad news for you and Angie. Infact its for me too."
"What can possibly be worse that the week I`m having?"
"Remeber Jim THE TOASTER Becker that you and Angie helped me catch? He hired the best hitman to kill us. THE SHADOW."
"Ok... so things can get worser..." Rollie says and puts his head on the pillow.
"Rollie this is not a joke... no one knows how he looks like . He knows how to use allot of weapons and also explosives. He can kill us anytime he wants."
"I`ll do my best to stay alive Mira..." Rollie says but he dosent sound scared.
"You are taking it better than I thought."
"Mira ,  I already feel dead! but we gotta warn Angie!"
"I called to her house and she`s not there."
"She has a new job at Illusions studio. I`ll...I`ll give you the address."
He gets up and writes the address on a piece of paper. He gives it to Mira.
"Ok... I`ll go talk to her. You rest for now... and for god sake Rollie , Shave! get a haircut! you look like hell!"
"Well , thanks for reminding me."
Mira looks at Rollie`s eyes with a sad look.
"What is it Mira?"
"Look Rollie" Mira says slow "Maybe you should hire a new assistant..."
"A new assistant?? How can you say this Mira? you know Angie."
"I know Rollie but look at you! you kicked me out of your workshop a few days ago , you lost your job so I`ve heard , you punched a another FX guy , you got drunk yesterday. I`m...I`m afraid that you`ll hurt yourself."
"Who told you that  I punched another FX guy?"
"Steve Knott told us everything Rollie. Lucky for you I convinced Vanduran that I`ll handle this."
"I guess you right. Angie already decided to continue her life. I guess I should too."
"Just for now Rollie... you need someone to help you. FX business are hard alone."
"Ok Ok , I`ll shave , get a haircut and put an ad in the paper."
"You do that. I`ll go to the Illusions studio and talk to Angie. I`ll try to get her back here..."
"I dont think she wants to get back here Mira. I think I really blew it. For good this time."
"Rollie..."
"Wait I didnt finish. I want to apologize Mira. I yelled at you , kicked you away. What happend a few days ago was...I didnt mean it. You`re always welcome here."
"Thanks Roll..."
"And one other thing : please tell Angie that I miss her."
"I`ll do that." Mira says calmly.
"Well , If you dont mind I`m gonna have a shower now so unless you wanna join me..." Rollie says and smiles.
"Naaaaa... I think I`ll go to my house, change my clothes and go talk to Angie..."
"What about your job?"
"This is my job , besides , Gatti is covering for me. Bye Rollie."
"Bye..."
"Oh! and Rollie , open your eyes. I advise you not to leave the workshop. We dont know when or how THE SHADOW will strike."
"Thanks for the warning." Rollie says.

Part 15

Location :  Illusions studio ( half an hour later ).
 
Mira parks her car near the studio.
She gets out of it , walks to the front door and presses the buzzer.
After a few seconds she hears : "Illusions studio. Dean Jerod here."
"Hello , I`m detective Mira Sanchez from the NYPD. Can I come in? I need to speak with Angela Ramirez."
"Sure , wait. I`ll open the door."
After a few seconds Mira enters into the studio.
Dean comes infront of her and shakes her hand.
"Hi ... I`m Dean Jerod."
"Hello , I`m detective Mira Sanchez." Mira says and flashes her badge out "Is Angela here?"
"I`m right here Mira." Angie says and comes near.
"Angie... I need to speak with you..." Then she takes her look to Dean and adds "In private."
"Ok, fine by me." Dean says "oh , by the way... Angie, we need to work on the action sequence Steve Knott wants us so when you`ll be ready..."
"Ok Dean I be right there. Mira is a friend of mine and Rollie`s."
"Wait a second..." Mira says and looks at Dean`s face again "You are the FX man Rollie beat up?"
"Ugh..." Dean says confused "Yeah. How do you know that?"
"Well , one, you have 2 black eyes. Second, Steve Knott told us. He`s your boss , right?" Mira asks.
"Damn this director! I told him not to call the police!" Dean says in anger.
"He was concerning you Dean..." Angie says.
"Yeah so much for that... well I leave you 2 ladies alone." Dean says and walks away.
"He`s a real trooper , isnt he?" Angie says and looks at Dean.
"Yeah and he looks good too... but that`s not why I`m here." Mira says.
"So what is it Mira?" Angie asks and crosses her arms.
"Ok Angie. You probably know Jim Becker."
"Jim Becker? Jim THE TOASTER Becker? yeah , me and Rollie helped you to catch him."
"Yeah , and now he sent someone to catch us."
"What??" Angie asks worried.
"He hired the best hitman on the market. THE SHADOW."
"THE SHADOW?? I read in the newspapers that no one know how he looks like."
"Yeah and that makes it even more dangerous. I advice you to stay most of the time here."
"What are you gonna do?" Angie asks.
"I`ll try to catch him but its gonna be hard Angie. This man has no heart. So please stay here , dont leave this place."
"I`ll do my best Mira."
"Ok... now there is the other thing I wanna talk with you. As a friend."
"Oh no... here it comes. Its not about Rollie , is it?"
"Yeah! it is about Rollie! Angie , he misses you. He wants you back."
"For what? to boss me again? I dont think so!"
"Angie , the man is broken. You should have seen him last night. He was so drunk that he thought that the FX van keys are a banana!"
"Well , if he wants to get drunk its his problem , not mine."
"Dont you even care?" Mira asks , shocked.
"The truth? no! I have a real job Mira with a man who respeacts me and not bossing me around all the time."
"Angie , Rollie is not bossing you around. He wants you safe."
"Safe... Safe from all the world."
"But Angie..."
"NO! Dont try to convince me. I like Dean and I like working with him. Remember how Rollie treated you a few days ago? If I wasnt there he probably would have ripped you apart. He hit Dean just because he got fired and we took over. Its like I dont know him anymore."
"Why dont you give it a try? You know Rollie for quite a few years."
"And he hasnt change every single one of them. Besides even if I wanted too I cant leave Dean now."
"Ok Ange , I did my best. I`ll not drag to Rollie by force..."
"You got that right. Is there anything else?"
"No. Just try not to get killed ok? I`ll do what I can to catch this Shadow before he`ll kill me, you and Rollie."
"Ok , Bye Mira...talk to you later."
"Bye. Bye Dean." Mira says and walks out of the studio.
"Bye Detective Sanchez." Dean says while working on a vampire doll.
Angie walks to Dean who is working on a vampire doll.
"Hey! That looks really good Dean!" Angie says happily.
"Thanks , I almost finished it. I just attach this electronic reader... There! Its done!"
"Now lets see how it works." Angie says.
Dean takes from the floor a remote control. He starts playing with it.
The vampire moves around , moving his mouth , bite and etc.
"GREAT WORK DEAN! IT LOOKS REALLY REAL!" Angie yells happily.
"Thanks Ange but it still needs a few small twicks."
"Let me show you on the computer what I`ve done..." Angie says and they walk to the computer.
She loads an animated part on the screen.
"See here , now here look on the vampire turns to a bat right about ... now!"
"Wow! Angie you are good! so good I thought this vampire will come out of the screen!"
"Imagine this bigger! on the movie screen!"
Dean gives to Angie a kiss in her forehead and walks to the vampire doll.
He starts working on its wires.
"So Angie..." He says while fixing the wires "This friend cop of yours looks really nice."
"Yeah I know."
"What did she want from you?"
Angie is not answering. She`s thinking if she should tell Dean that some killer is after her.
"Well? You dont want to talk about it? Youre not in trouble , are you? Because if you are I wanna help you."
"Thanks Dean but If you dont mind, I dont want to talk about it."
"Sure you are not in trouble?" Dean asks worried and looks at Angie.
"No No , everything is fine. She just wanted to talk about Rollie."
"Rollie ha? this guy can really give a punch."
"You can take him , youre mucn stronger then him."
"Angie..." Dean stops working on the doll and walks to Angie who is sitting near the computer "Its not about stronger or not. I`m not worried about me , I`m worried about you and Rollie."
"Me and Rollie?"
"Do you have any idea why Rollie jumped on me and hit me at the director`s office?"
"I guess because we took his job."
"No , I think its something else. I could see in his eyes through all those punches he gave me. I think he has feelings for you."
"Feelings? naaaaa."
"Angie , I`m serious. I dont think he hit me because we took his job. I think he did it because youre working close to me and not to him. Maybe you should go back working for him."
"Dont say dumb things! Me and Rollie never had and never will have something between us! Besides , I like working for you."
"WITH me , not FOR me. Ok Angie , if you say so. But I really think you should..."
"Dean , I`m not getting back to him and thats final! Dont you want me around you? I thought we good team together."
"We are Angie. Its just..."
"So I dont want to talk about it anymore!" Angie says and storms of her chair , almost knocking the computer down.
"Angie please..." Dean says worried and runs after her. He grabs her by her shoulder and turns her around.
"I`m...I`m sorry. I didnt mean to hurt you."
"Its just that I`m sick and tired of hearing about Rollie."
"Ok , so I`ll stop talking about him."
"Thanks Dean, I knew you`ll understand."
"Ok , now lets get to work. We got allot." Dean says and smiles.

Part 16

Location :  The workshop (  2 days later ).

Night. Raining outside.
Rollie is sitting infront of the computer trying to compelete a scene but with no luck. He dosent knows this stuff like Angie.
Suddenly he hears a knock in the door.
"Who is it?" He yells.
No one answers.
"Who is it?" and again no one answers.
Rollie takes a toy gun that looks real and walks to the door.
He opens it quick and aims the gun at the figure.
"AH! DONT SHOOT! PLEASE!" Rollie hears a girl voice.
Rollie sees a girl. About 5`9 , with long hair , looks beautiful , shaking from the cold , wet from the rain with her hands up.
"What? Who is it?"
"My...My name is Lisa Fletcher. I...I read your ad in the paper today that you need an assistant."
"Oh my god , you are shaking! come inside quick!"
"Th..Th.. Thanks." Lisa says and walks inside.
Rollie closes the door.
"You want something hot to drink?"
"Thanks it will be nice."
Rollie walks to the kitchen and makes some hot tea.
He comes back with a blanket and the tea.
"Dont stand there, please sit..." Rollie says and gives her the blanket and the tea.
Lisa sits on the couch and Rollie next to her.
"Lisa is your name?" He asks.
"Yeah."
"What were you doing outside?"
"I..." She drinks the tea "I read in the newspaper that you need someone that knows computers. And here I am. I hope the job isnt taken."
"No it isnt , But why now? you could call here."
"I know but my lanlord kicked me out. I lost my job and couldnt pay him. I bought with my last money the newspaper and then I read your ad. I really need a job."
"Look I`m sorry but I cant just hire you. I need some reseme."
"No problem... my friend typed this for me this afternoon after I read your ad." Lisa says and takes out from her bag some wet papers.
"Ugh... sorry its wet , the rain ,you know." Lisa says and smiles and innocent smile.
"I think I can read this..." Rollie says and starts reading.
Lisa takes another slip from the tea.
"Well it looks good... you have any knowlege about movie bussines?"
"Ah no... not really but I can help you in the computer. I know how to use allot of programs."
"Well , as a matter of fact I can use help right now in the computer."
"Let me see this."
They walk to the computer and Lisa sits down infront of it.
"Hmmm.. small problem. I can fix it in no time."
"You can ? because I want this part to run smoothly and it crashes everytime."
"Wait..." Lisa says and clicks on the keyboard.
After a few seconds the part the Rollie wanted runs smoothly.
"Wow! You fixed it."
"Yeah its easy but if I may say , this program is old. I know where you can get better one."
"Can you get it?"
"The store is closed now but I can buy it tommorow if you want."
"You know what? I`ll hire you and we`ll see how its going on." Rollie says and smiles.
"Thanks , you wont regreat it. Well I guess I should be heading home now."
"Home? you said your lanlord kicked you out."
"I know, I live in my car for now."
"NO! you`ll stay here. Its freezing out there."
"I dont want to cause you..."
"You cause nothing. Sleep here for a few days until you`ll find a place to live ok?"
"Thanks Mr Tyler." Lisa says and smiles.
"Call me Rollie."

Part 17

Location :  The workshop (  the next day ).

Rollie comes downstaris just to see Lisa inside the kitchen making coffee.
"Good morning. How did you sleep?" Rollie says.
Lisa turns around.
"Good morning to you too. I slept well. I wanna thank you again for giving me a place to sleep and a job."
"Dont mention it."
"You know while you were a sleep , I looked around. You have really high-tech stuff here. Even the coffee machine I berly figured out how to start."
"Dont worry. I`ll teach you allot of stuff here. You`ll find that the movie bussines can be beautiful sometimes."
"I already see something beautiful here." Lisa says , looks at Rollie and winks to him.
"Ugh... well... you said yesterday you know where to buy a new program."
"Yeah , I`ll get right on it."
"WAF" Bluey comes near Lisa.
"UGH! What`s that?"
Rollie smiles.
"Oh... This is Bluey. He`s my dog."
"Dog? a robo-dog? You build it?"
"Yeah , nice ha?"
"Nice?? Its awsome!" She ducks near Bluey "What can it do?"
"He helps me sometimes on movie sets and on other few occasions."
"You have allot but allot to teach me about your high-tech stuff."
"Like I said dont worry."
"Nice work anyway..." Lisa says and gets up "Well I guess I`ll be heading to the store now."
"Wait , I`ll give you some money..." Rollie says and walks to the table.
He takes some money of his wallet and gives it to Lisa.
"You wont regreat it Mr. Tyler"
"I said that you can call me Rollie."
"Rollie? ok."
"I`ll try to get us a job for now at some movie set."
Lisa sees on the table a picture of him and Angie.
She picks it up and looks at it.
"Who is she? Your girlfriend?" Lisa asks.
"No... She... She was my assistant before you came in. Her name is Angela Ramirez."
"She is beautiful."
"I know."
"Were you more... you know...more then boss/assistant?" Lisa asks and smiles.
"We? No. She was and I hope she still is , Like a sister to me. After her father died she and I got closer." Rollie says and closes his eyes.
"Are you ok Rollie?" Lisa asks worried.
"Yeah... dont worry."
"Ok , I`ll hop to the store. Thanks for the money. You have coffee over there. Hope you like it." Lisa says and walks towards the front door.
"Bye..." Rollie says.

Meanwhile at Illusions studio...

"Dean! I finished working on the scene! Wanna see it?"
"Just a second Angie , I`ll just fix the vampire here."
Angie comes near.
"Listen Dean , I know where we can get a better program to make this scene or any other scene. If you thought the part with the vampire looked real , wait till you see it with that new program."
"You know where to get it?" Dean asks.
"Sure... I can go right now if you want."
"Ok , take some money from my wallet. Its on the table."
Angie walks to the table and takes the money.
"I`ll be right back."
"Bye Angie."

Part 18

Location :  The computer store.

Angie enters inside the computer store and walks to the clerk.
"Exuse me sir. Do you have this program?" She says and gives the clerk a piece of paper with a name.
The clerk looks at the paper.
"Yeah , we got it 2 days ago. wait here I`ll get it." The clerk says and walks to the back of the store.
"Thanks."
Just then Lisa enters the store and walks to the counter.
The clerk comes back with the program and gives it Angie.
"There you go , its 150$." He says.
"Ok I have it here." Angie says and reaches out for her purse.
"Exuse me?" Lisa says "Can you give the same program to me? I mean if its not out of stock."
"No, we still got some left. wait here." The clerk says and walks to the back.
"Thank you." Lisa says while the clerk goes to the back.
"So..." Lisa says and looks at Angie "You are in computers business too?"
"Yeah. I need it in my line of work."
"What is it?"
"I`m in the movie buisness. FX stuff. "
"Yeah? me too!" Then Lisa looks at Angie in a strange way  "You know , you look very familer to me..."
"I dont think we met before. Where do you work?"
"Tyler`s FX. I`m Rollie Tyler`s assistant. My name is Lisa Fletcher." Lisa says and reaches her hand to shake Angie`s hand.
Angie`s eyes suddenly grows bigger and her mouth opens wide. Just hearing the name makes the program falls out of her hands.
"Oh , let me help you." Lisa says , picks up the program and gives it to Angie.
"You... You work where?" Angie asks , shocked.
"Tyler`s F... Wait a minute! I know who you are! Youre Rollie`s ex-assistant Angela Ramirez. He talked about you."
Angie is not answering. She`s still shocked.
"Are you ok?" Lisa asks.
"Ye...Yeah. I just dont feel well."
"You look pale. Maybe you should see a doctor. Anyway I cant belive you quit your job. This Rollie is a very handsome guy."
"We had problems." Angie says like she dosent care.
"Say , did you two got it on? You know , were you more then just co-workers?" Lisa asks and smiles.
"Well we..." Angie says but then the clerk comes.
"Here you go. you lucky , that is our last one." The clerk says and gives Lisa the program.
"Thanks. How much is it?"
"150$."
"Ok , thanks. Here you go." Lisa says and gives the clerk the money.
"Ugh... Here`s my money too." Angie says and gives him the money too.
"Well , nice talking to you Angela. I should be heading to the workshop now. Bye." Lisa says and walks out of the store.
Angie stands there , dosent move. She looks at Lisa as she walks out of the store to the FX van.
"Miss? Miss!" The clerk says loud.
"Yeah... Sorry , I just..."
"You want something else to buy?"
"No thank you." Angie says and walks out of the store.

Part 19

Location :  Illusions studio.

Dean is (still) working on the vampire doll.
"Hmmm , maybe if I attach this electronic reader here I`ll be able to..." Just then he sees Angie storms into the studio and slams the door behind her.
Dean looks at her. Angie looks very angry.
"Angie, did you get the program you wanted?" Dean asks but Angie walks near him , dosent say anything.
She sits infront of the computer and slams the program on the desk.
Dean looks at Angie , worried.
"What happend?"
"NOTHING!" Angie yells and puts the disk inside the computer.
"Angie! What`s wrong? half an hour ago you looked happy and now..."
"I`M FINE!" She yells and looks at the screen "WORK YOU DAMN PROGRAM ! WORK!!!" Angie starts punching the screen.
"ANGIE!!" Dean yells and runs to her. He grabs Angie`s fists just as she`s about to hit the screen again.
"ANGIE! CALM DOWN!"
"NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!" Angie screams while trying to free her hands from Dean`s grab.
"ANGIE! PLEASE ! YOURE SCARING ME!!" Dean yells worried.
Angie suddenly stops. She looks at Dean`s face. He looks scared. She realizes what she`s done.
"I`m...I`m sorry Dean , I didnt..." Angie says like she`s gonna cry. She gets up of her chair and hugs Dean.
Dean puts his arms on Angie`s head.
"That`s...That`s ok Angie. We`ll work this out. Wait , I`ll give you some water." Dean says calmly.
"Thanks..."
Dean walks to the kitchen. After a minute he comes back with a glass of water and gives it to Angie.
Angie takes the glass and drinks it.
Dean takes the glass back.
"Now... please sit down. You wanna tell me what happend?"
Angie sits down and puts her head between her arms.
"Angie , what`s wrong?"
"Rollie."
"What about him? He didnt hit you , did he?"
"No , No... In the computer store today , I met his...his..."
"His what?"
"His new assistant."
"So he hired a new assistant. And that`s why youre so furious?"
"No ... Yes ... No wait. I`m..." Angie says confuesd.
"Angie..." Dean says calmly "Do you have feelings for him? You want to work with him again?"
"NO!"
"So why are you so mad? You decided to quit your job and work with me. Rollie just did the same."
"But..."
"Angie , if you want to go back to him I wont stop you... but you have to decide weather continue working with me or get back to Rollie. You want me to talk with him?"
"Dean , I thought we already covered this subject! I got over Rollie."
"I know we covered this subject. Adlist I did. I dont know about you..."
"I fine!"
"No youre not Angie. You wont be fine until you`ll go back to Rollie. I can feel it."
Angie gets up fast in angre.
"Your feelings are wrong! now if you dont mind I have work to do." She sits back and about to click the keyborad.
Dean grabs her hand.
"Angie , I`m worried about you. I want you to be 100% focus on this movie and not thinking about Rollie or his new assistant."
"Dean , I`m ok!"
"So proove to me you can handle the fact that Rollie hired new assistant!"
"Dont worry , I`ll be fine!"
"Ok Angie , I trust you..." Dean says , looks at Angie for a few seconds and then walks to the vampire doll.
Deep down inside he knows that Angie wont be fine until she and Rollie be together or adlist Rollie will fire his new assistant.
He looks at the phone and thinks if he should call Rollie.
Another look on Angie tells him not to. He decides to give her a few days.

Meanwhile at the workshop...

Lisa gets inside the workshop.
Rollie sees her and comes near her.
"Well?" He asks.
"I got it!" Lisa says , smiles and walks to the computer.
She sits infront of it and she`s about to load the program.
"I have good news Lisa. I got us a job at the BLACK DAGGER movie set."
"That`s great Rollie! When do we need to be there?"
"We have time. We need to be at the director office at 16:00pm today."
"Ok. Oh! By the way ... I met Angela today."
"Angela ? You mean Angela Ramirez?"
"Yeah , a blond 5`6 girl."
"Oh god! What did she say? How she looked like?" Rollie asks nervously.
"I dont know... it looks like she dosent feel well. She was quite shocked after I told her I`m your new assistant."
"Well , she was my assistant for quiet few years  , Lisa."
"Rollie , do you want her back?"
"Tell you the truth? I dont know. So much happend this week. I dont know what I feel."
"Well , maybe you should..." Lisa says but then they here someone`s knocking on the door.
"Wait here!" Rollie says.
"Bluey , camera 5 please..." Rollie says and walks to the monitor.
He sees on the monitor that Mira is out.
"Oh , its just my friend. Detective Mira Sanchez." Rollie says and walks to the door.
"You have friends in the police ? I`m impressed Rollie..." Lisa says and starts clicking on the keyboard.
Rollie opens the door.
"Rollie!" Mira yells "Any news about the Shadow?"
"Shhhh...." Rollie whispers but its too late. Lisa heard Mira.
"WHAT? THE SHADOW? ARE YOU IN TROUBLE ROLLIE?" Lisa yells worried.
"No , Its ok... I`m..."
"Who is she?" Mira asks.
"That`s Lisa Fletcher. She`s my new assistant."
Lisa comes running near Rollie.
"ROLLIE! IS THE SHADOW WANTS YOU DEAD?"
Mira looks at Rollie. She signals him to tell her.
"Yes, but I`ll be fine... Its just..."
"Rollie! Why didnt you tell me?!? I read that this guy is dangerous!" Lisa says , scared.
"Look ... If you dont want to be involte I`ll understand..."
"Yeah , it will be safer for you." Mira adds.
"Well, I cant leave you now I guess , but what can we do officer Sanchez?" Lisa asks Mira , worried.
"For now , we`re checking all the hotels and the motels. Any hitman will need a few days to make a plan. We also checking if someone rented a car in the last few days."
"And did you find something?" Rollie asks.
"No , not yet but Gatti is still looking. The Shadow is probably not in town."
"Thanks Mira , is there anything else you wanted?" Rollie asks.
"Yeah , but I dont know if you`ll agree. I need to use your FX equipment."
"What`s the case?" Rollie asks , willing to help.
"I have 2 armed bad guys inside a warehouse. Their names are Jason Brooks and Gerg Scott. They robbed 10,000 dollars from a bank. We chased them to a small warehouse and they are still there. The place is surrounded. I wanna catch them alive before stone and his swat team will break inside and start shooting."
"I dont know , Lisa here and..."
"Oh I forgot to mention. There is a 10% reward offerd from the loot. That means 1000$ Rollie."
"1000$ ? Lisa..." Rollie says and turns around to Lisa "With this money you can find yourself a place to live."
"What are you saying here , Rollie?" Lisa asks. She dosent know that  Rollie helps the police sometimes.
"Ok I`ll help you Mira... Do you have the blueprints of this warehouse?" Rollie asks Mira.
"Not here."
"Ok lets go. We`ll see what to do when we get there." Rollie says.
"Wow! time out! You help the police with you FX equipment?" Lisa asks , supirsed.
"Yeah , sometimes... Angie always helped me."
"Since when FX guys help the police?" Lisa asks.
"Hey ,  it can be helpful." Mira says.
"Afcourse it has bad sides sometimes." Rollie says.
"What do you mean?" Lisa asks.
"I had a friend in the police a year ago. His name was Leo McCarthy."
"What happend?"
"He died in a massive explosion and I was blamed. Mira here helped me out."
"I`m sorry Rollie... and since then you wanted to help the police?" Lisa says.
"No , I always helped Leo because he was my best friend."
Lisa thinks for a minute.
"Hmmm...Can I help? since Angie is no longer here..." Lisa says.
"I dont know. You kinda new in this stuff and you dont have the expirence. There will be real criminals there with real guns. It will be dangerous."
"Give me a chance! I`ll do my best Rollie! I wanna earn this 1000$." Lisa says.
"Ok Ok... Mira , me and Lisa will help you."
"You think its the right choice?" Mira asks and looks at Lisa.
"I know it is. I trust Lisa. Lets go."

Part 20

Location :  near the small warehouse.
 
Rollie parks his FX van. Lisa is in the back.
"Lisa , wait here and put this small mic on you so will be in contact all the time." Rollie says.
"Ok , got you Rollie!"
Mira and Rollie step out of the van and walk to Gatti who is talking to a few officers.
"Gatti , what`s the situation?" Mira asks.
"Well , those 2 guys took a shot at us a few times. They are not joking."
"What about the swat team?"
"Stone is prepring them , but I hope we wont need them. Rollie , do you have a plan?"
"Let me see the blueprints of the warehouse."
Gatti gives Rollie a map. Rollie unrolls it.
"Oh , its too bloody small! Lets go to the FX van , we`ll get a bigger view there."
"Your call." Gatti says.
Gatti , Mira and Rollie go to the FX van.
Rollie opens the rear doors and climbs in. Also Mira and Gatti.
Gatti spots Lisa. Her back is to him.
"ANGIE?!? Did you get taller? and what about this thing with the black hair?"
"Sorry to dissapoint you..." Lisa says and turns around "But I`m not Angie."
"HA?!" Gatti asks , suprised.
"Gatti , meet my new assistant Lisa Fletcher. She`s taking over Angie`s roll now. Lisa , this is detective Frank Gatti." Rollie says.
"Nice to meet you detective Gatti." Lisa says and sits down infront of the computer.
"What happend to Angie?" Gatti asks.
"We talk about that later boys. Now we have bad guys to catch!" Mira says.
"Ok Ok... Lisa can you give me a bigger picture of this blueprints on the screen?" Rollie asks and gives Lisa the map.
"Sure Rollie." Lisa says and takes the map.
She takes the PDA and scans the map. On the screen pops the map.
"Ok , here it is... What are we looking for?" Lisa asks.
"Lets see..." Rollie says and looks on the screen "Lisa , please zoom on this part here." He says and points at the screen.
"No problem." Lisa says , clicks on the keyboard and zooms on the part of the map.
"It shows that here there is a back door to an alley that leads to the street. We got that coverd with police cars." Gatti says.
"So they cant escape." Mira says.
"Yeah , and that`s why they stuck inside and we stuck outside. No one can get in or out." Rollie says.
"So we`ll let them escape." Lisa says.
"WHAT?!?" Rollie , Gatti and Mira ask together.
"Look Lisa  , I know you new here but the logic thing to do is to catch them and not letting them escape." Mira says.
"I know. I didnt mean let them escape for real , I ment trick them so they`ll think that the way is clear , Detective Sanchez."
"Hmmm... you got a point there Lisa. What do you have in mind?" Rollie asks.
"I think that if we get a picture of the street from the alley and use the projector here then..."
"I think I know what you mean. Good thinking Lisa , but we still have a problem." Rollie says.
"What?" Lisa asks.
"We`ll need to get all the police units out of the back to make this work but I dont think the criminals there are fools. They wont belive that the alley is clear for them to escape. Cops gotta be there."
"Ok , you got a point , but if they will manage to pass the cops? kill them? Then they will be sure that the back is clear enough to escape."
Rollie smiles a big smile.
"Lisa , youre great! you gave me a briliant idea! Gatti , I need 2 cops with bullet proof vest strong enough to block those guys fire power."
"What you two have in mind?" Gatti asks.
Rollie comes and stands near Lisa who is also smiles a big smile. He puts his arm on Lisa`s shoulder.
"I`ll tell you right after you`ll get them here. We need to prepere them to... Ugh ... to die!" Rollie says and winks to Mira and Gatti.
"I hate when you do that Rollie! Ok... Gatti , call Mike and Dan here." Mira says.

Part 21

Location :  near the small warehouse ( inside the FX van ).
 
"Rollie! that`s a briliant idea!" Mira says while Lisa prepering the FX stuff on the cops.
"Thanks , but Lisa thought about it."
"Rollie? I need to put it like this?" Lisa asks while prepering Mike.
"Ugh... its good , but to make it real put more red paint inside." Rollie says.
"Ok." Lisa says.
"I just hope they wont fire at my head!" Mike says to Rollie.
"So dont duck." Rollie says.
"Ok! You 2 are ready to die!" Lisa says happily.
"Ok guys..." Mira says to the Mike and Dan "You make it look real that you are hit. Dont kill Greg and Jason!"
"We`ll do our best." Dan says.
"I`ll go and get a picture of the back street there behind the warehouse but I need help carrying the folding screen and the projector." Rollie says and takes his PDA.
"You got it! You two help Rollie grab the other things and go to the back." Mira says to Mike and Dan.
"Ok Sanchez!" They say.
"And men ... be carefull! I`ll radio the police units at the back that you are comming."
"Lisa , you wait here. I`ll contact you when I`ll finish." Rollie says.
"I`m not going anywhere." Lisa says.
Rollie , Mike and Dan jump out from the van , carrying a big folding screen and a projector.
They run carefully to the back of the warehouse until they get to the police units that are blocking the street.
Rollie comes near one of the officers that waits.
"Did Mira radio you? you know the plan?"
"Yeah , I know but I hope you know what you are doing."
Rollie smiles.
"Dont worry , I`m in this buisness a long time. Ok lets get to work!"
"You!" Rollie says to one of the officers "put the projector on the roof in 30 degress down so it will be aimed to the screen."
"Got ya." The officer says , takes the projector and climbs to the roof using a rig.
Rollie walks to the alley and says to the cops to move their police cars so he`ll be able to get a clear street picture.
They move thier cars and Rollie takes a picture with his PDA.
"Lisa" Rollie says in his small mic "Did you get the picture?"
"Yeah... I`m adding 2 police units to it now."
"Ok great! make it look real."
"Hey , you are talking to a pro." Lisa says.
Rollie smiles.
He walks out of the alley and looks at the roof. The officer that went up there to attach the projector signals Rollie that everything is set.
"Good..." Rollie thinks to himself.
"Mike , Dan!" Rollie yells "help me attach this folding screen."
After attaching the folding screen to the alley walls , Rollie unrolls it.
Then Rollie says in his small mic "Lisa , is the picture ready?"
"Yeah , I`m sending it to the projector now..."
Suddenly on the folding screen ( which is unfloded now ) the picture of the street appears with 2 cop units ( police cars ).
It looks so real that even Rollie is amazed.
"Nice work Lisa!"
"I just hope this plan will work." Lisa says.
"It will. Mira , everything is ready. Let the show begin!" Rollie says and runs to hiding place.
He signals to Mike and Dan to take their places.

"YOU 2 IN THE WAREHOUSE! COME OUTSIDE WITH YOUR HANDS UP!" Mira yells in the big mic.
"Pssss... Greg , look at this." Jason says to Greg. They inside the warehouse and Jason is looking through a small window.
"What is it Jason?" Greg says and comes near Jason.
"There are 2 cops comming from the back." He says and points at Mike and Dan as they approch carefully to the back door of the warehouse.
"Is there anyone else there?"
"No , only 2. They are comming from the alley. All I see is 2 police cars."
"That detective out there wants to fool us. She yells and distract us while those 2 officers comes from the back. She think we are fools!"
"Lets show her that we are smarter! this is our way out! Lets do it quick!" Greg says and picks up a money bag they stole from the bank.
They kick the back door open. Mike and Dan sees them and aimes thier guns to Jason and Greg.
"THROW YOUR GUNS AND PUT YOUR HANDS UP!" Dan yells.
Jason and Greg open fire on Mike and Dan with their guns. The bullets hit Mike and Dan bodies and they fall to the ground with all the blood coming out of thier shirts.
Jason runs to Dan`s body and ducks to it. He start searching Dan`s uniform and takes a police car keys from Dan`s pocket.
"Greg , I got the keys. Lets steal the police car over there." Jason says and points at the police car ( which is just a picture ).
He gets up and then he and Greg run towards the street ( the projector picture ).
They run and run and then they bump into the screen , run through it , tearing it up and fall down to the street  ( the real street ).
"WHAT THE HELL??" Jason yells.
"Hello guys!" Mira says standing infront of them with her gun aimed at them. All the swat people are around her aiming thier guns to the shocked Jason and Greg.
"I CANT BELIVE IT! THEY TRICKED US!" Jason yells and gets up with his hands up.
"We sure did. You`ll have allot time to think about it in jail. CUFF EM!" Mira yells.
"MIKE , DAN ! YOU CAN COME NOW !" Mira yells.
Mike and Dan get up from the floor. All the fake blood is splaterd on thier shirts. They come near Greg and Jason.
"What?!? How?!?! But we... we killed you! You are dead !" Greg says suprised.
"Mike? Do you feel dead? I know I`m not." Dan says cynically.
"No Dan , I`m pretty much alive but my wife`s gonna kill me for real when I`ll tell her to clean this fake blood off the uniform." He also says cynically and gives Dan a high five.
The swat people take Jason and Greg to the police cars. Rollie comes out of his hiding place.
Mira smiles to him and signals him that its ok.
"See Lisa , I told you it will work." Rollie says in the small mic and smiles.
"Like a charm Rollie , Like a charm.  I`m glad we done here playing cops and thieves." Lisa says.
"Yeah , for now... Please bring the FX van here , ok?"
"I`m on my way." Lisa says and walks to the driver seat.
Mira comes near Rollie.
"Rollie , great work. And tell Lisa she did great work too."
"I already did. She came up with this idea in the first place." Rollie says.
As he sees the FX van comes he says to Mira : " I`m really proud of her. "
"Ok Rollie , thanks. You can go now if you want but come later to the police station , I`ll give you your reward."
"Yeah , I guess I`ll do that. Bye Mira." Rollie says.
BEEP! BEEP!
Lisa beeps from the FX van.
"Rollie , lets go! we have a movie set to be in!"
"I`m comming!" Rollie yells and walks towards the FX van.
Then Rollie turns around to Mira.
"Oh! and by the way : Tell your people to get all my stuff back to the workshop , ok?"
"Dont worry , I`ll handle it, and Rollie , please be careful. We still dont know where THE SHADOW  is. " Mira says.
"I`m still alive , am I"? Rollie smiles to Mira and walks to the FX van. He enters it and Lisa drives to the BLACK DAGGER  movie set.

Part 22

Location :  Illusions studio ( a day later ).
 
Dean enters the studio with a newspaper in his hand. He sees Angie working on the computer.
Angie dosent see him. Her eyes are on the screen.
"Angie?" Dean says while putting his bag down.
"Oh , hi Dean , I didnt notice you came in." Angie says and turns off the computer.
"What are you doing here so early?"
"I wanted to finish the scene on the computer."
"Oh , ok." Dean says and reads his newspaper.
He smiles to himself.
Angie sees him and asks : "What? What is it? What`s so funny?"
"Well , there is an article here about Ro..." He says but then he suddenly stops.
"Ro..? What , What?" Angie asks.
"Nothing. Its nothing." Dean says and throws the newspaper to the trash can.
"Dean? are you hiding something from me?" Angie asks and gets up of her chair.
"No... Why would I do that? Lets start loading the stuff on the van. We need to go to the set."
"Dont change the subject!" Angie says in an angry voice and walks to the trash can.
"Angie , really. Its nothing worth looking at."
"The way you acting it looks like I should look at it." Angie says and takes the newspaper from the trash can.
"No Angie dont..." Dean tries to say but its too late. Angie saw the article.
"Oh my god!" Angie says and covers her hand with her mouth.
The article is about Rollie , Lisa , Mira and Gatti. There is also a picture with Rollie and Lisa with Rollie`s arm around Lisa.
They both smiling. The article reads :

Rollie Tyler , an FX man and his assistant Lisa Fletcher helped yesterday to Detective Mira Sanchez catch 2 criminals who robbed a bank.

Jason Brooks and Greg Scott robbed the mid-town south bank yesterday at 14:30.
The police chased them to a small warehouse where Jason and Greg hid.
Rollie and Lisa , using thier FX equipment , managed to fool Jason and Greg out and trick them into the police hands.
We caught Rollie and Lisa on the set of the upcoming movie BLACK DAGGER .
This is what Rollie had to say :
"Well , I have to thank Lisa for that one. She is briliant. I cant take any credit for this all opreation.
Lisa told me the idea and I only execute it with the help of the officers Dan Ryan and Mike Black which are great actors by the way."
After talking to Rollie we managed to catch Lisa on her coffee break and this what she had to say :
"Rollie is great. I mean really great. He did all the job without being scared for one second. He is a pro and I`ve only worked with him for a few days but I must say that I enjoy every second working for him and I`m proud to be the assitant of the best FX man in the buisness."
"Werent you scared from the fact that  the situation was real? I mean real criminals with real guns? That wasnt a controled situation like in the movies. Greg and Jason were real criminals with real guns."
Lisa laughed and said : "Afcourse I was scared , this is why Rollie was outside and I was inside the FX van using the computers." But never the less Lisa did do a great job.
We send one of out reporters to speak with Detectives Mira Sanchez and Frank Gatti at mid-town south police station.
Mira Sanchez said : "I`m pround at Rollie and Lisa. They were great team there. After Lisa told us her idea , Rollie execute it so well that I was amazed. Jason and Greg will sit in Jail for a long time thanks to Rollie and Lisa`s FX tricks."
Frank Gatti said : "I`ve known Rollie for a long time. When Leo McCarthy was alive , Rollie helped us allot and he never failed us. He is still doing it. I knew he will successed."
Officers Dan and Mike had this to say : "Yeah , that was a great operation but we think that Lisa put allot of this fake blood. Some of this blood dripped to our underwear and that stuff is scratchy if you know what we mean."

For conclusion , we wanna thank Rollie and Lisa for helping the NYPD. Rollie got a reward : 1000$ which he decided to give to Lisa. A noble thing to do.
 
( OK , so its not really looks like a real article...)

"This... This cant be happening!! It just cant!!" Angie yells.
"Angie..." Dean says.
"Ok , Ok..." Angie takes a long breath " I know I promised you yesterday not to think about Rollie and Lisa. And I`m ok , I really am." Angie says and tries to smile.
"Good , I`m happy you got over them but I have a feeling its not over yet , am I right?"
"No , No! Its over , its just that Rollie and I used to do those things together and now..."
"I`m sorry Angie , but I dont think *I`M* gonna do this stuff for the police. I`m not that type of guy."
"I didnt ask you too. You are smart man Dean. You know that you are an FX man and not a detective , and that`s Rollie`s problem."
Dean smiles and put his arm on Angie`s shoulder.
"Now I know you are 100% clear on this movie."
"Thanks, listen...I`ll go out and get us something to eat. You want something?"
"Nothing thanks , I ate at home. Say... is the scene ready on the computer? I wanna check it with the new program you bought yesterday." Dean says.
"Yeap , its ready. Its under the file KB." Angie says and walks outside the studio.
Dean looks at Angie as she steps out of the studio to the street.
"My my my..." Dean says to himself and walks to the computer.
He notices Angie`s purse near the computer.
"Angie forgot her purse! damn!" Dean says to himself , grabs the purse from the table and runs outside.
Outside , he sees that Angie is crossing the street.
"ANGIE! ANGIE! YOU FORGOT YOUR..." Dean yells but then he notices something.
A black sports car drives fast on the road as Angie crosses the street.
The car is driving so fast towards Angie and it dosent looks like its going to stop.
"AAANNNGGGIEEE! WATCH OUT!!!" Dean screams.
He throws the purse on the street and runs towards Angie who dosent notice the sports car comming her way.
Just as the car is about to hit Angie , Dean grabs Angie from behind and then they both fall to sidewalk away from the road.
"WATCH HOW YOU DRIVING YOU ASSHOLE!!" Dean yells to the sports car.
The black sports car continues driving even faster and dissapears in the corner.
"Are you ok?" Dean asks while getting up.
"What the hell was that?" Angie asks while trying to get up from the sidewalk.
"Well..." Dean says and helps Angie up "Some bozo almost ran you over with his car. God , people today... they just want to drive fast without looking!"
"Ia... I guess I should say thanks. Thanks Dean."
Dean smiles.
"You welcome Ange... Wait , you have some dirt here." Dean says and cleans the dirt of Angie`s clothes with his hand.
Some people run to Angie and Dean.
"Are you two ok? I saw the car and... You want me to call the hospital? I already called the police." A woman says.
"No thanks Mam. We`re ok... but did any of you saw the driver or the license plate?" Dean asks.
The people exchange look.
"No... no one saw. The car was driven so fast..."
"Well , thanks anyway." Dean says.
Just then a few police units comes into the scene and they park infront of the studio.
A few officers step out of the units along with Gatti and Mira.
"Gatti , start questioning here some witnesses. I`ll talk to Angie and Dean here."
"Ok." Gatti says and walks away.
Mira comes near Angie and Dean.
"Are you two ok? what happend here?"
"I really cant tell you much , it happend so fast. Dean can tell you." Angie says.
"Well Dean?" Mira asks and takes her look to Dean.
"Angie went out to buy I some food but she forgot her purse. I saw the purse on the table near the computer so I took it and ran outside to give it to Angie... Then I saw the sports car comming her way and it didnt look like it was going to stop. I ran quickly to Angie and pulled her away from the road before the car hit her."
"You are a brave man Dean , most of the people would freeze in her place."
"I`m not brave detective , I`m lucky... so the question now is are you gonna catch this mad driver?"
"We`ll do what we can but if..." Mira starts to say.
"MIRA!" Gatti yelles.
"What is it , Gatti?" Mira yells and turns around. She sees Gatti standing near the road.
"You gotta come and see this!" Gatti yells.

Part 23

Location :  Near Illusions studio.
 
Mira comes near Gatti.
"Well...?" She asks.
"Look at the road. What do you see?" Gatti asks.
"Nothing."
"That`s it! nothing!"
"Gatti? Did you lose your mind or something?"
"No , no. What I wanna tell you is that there arent any braking signs on the road. It looks like the driver of the sports car didnt wanna stop which means..." Gatti says.
"That he wanted to kill Angie. Damn!" Mira continues.
"Its probably the Shadow , Mira. He`s in town."
"I gotta warn Angie. Ok... did you ask the wintnesses if they saw something?"
"Yeah , I asked , but no one saw the driver or the licenses plate because the speed of the sports car."
"Great! Just great! I gotta warn Angie." Mira says and turns around. She starts walking to Angie and Dean who are interviewed by a few officers.
"Ok , guys..." Mira says to the officers "You can go now."
The officers walk away.
"Well Mira , what did you find?" Angie asks.
"Bad news Angie. It looks like the Shadow tried to kill you. We didnt find any braking signs on the road."
"The... The Shadow?" Dean asks.
"Ugh..." Angie says.
"You didnt say anything about a hitman comming after you , Angie!"
"Well , I ... I was gonna tell ya but..."
"WHEN?!?! WHEN DID YOU DECIDED TO TELL ME?!?! AFTER THIS GUY WILL PUMP A FEW BULLETS IN YOU OR RAN YOU OVER WITH HIS  CAR?!? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!"
"Dean... please calm down... I know I should have told you eariler but..."
"YOU DAMN RIGHT YOU NEEDED!!" Dean screams , storms into the studio and slames the door behind him.
"Oh god..." Angie cries out "What... What have I done?? He`s right, I should have told him. I need to talk to him."
"You do that... for now , I`ll send a police car to watch this house , ok?"
"Ok , but you need to warn Rollie."
"Dont worry , now go inside and talk to Dean." Mira says calmly.
"Thanks Mira." Angie says and walks to the studio.
Angie enters the studio. She sees Dean there sitting near the computer with his head between his hands.
"Dean..." Angie says calmly and comes near him.
"Go away Ange... please." Dean says without looking at Angie.
"Dean , I`m sorry that I didnt tell you. I didnt wanna scare you... Its not easy to say : 'Hi Dean , I`m Angie. Oh! and by the way there is a mad hitman after me.'"
"Ange..." Dean says and takes his look to Angie "Its not about me getting scared or not. I just dont wanna left behind from things that concerning my friends."
"Dean , its a hitman and a very good one. Its not a 'thing' like you said and..."
"I dont care what it is. I`m here for you... if you have problems you can talk it over with me. If you would have told me about the shadow I would have never let you out of this place. What if I wasnt there before the car hit you , then what?"
"Dean , I very thankful for what you did but this thing I gotta handle myself."
"Ange... Please... Let me help you. I dont wanna bury you too like I buired my father..." Dean says and then his eyes turned red.
Angie looks at Dean`s eyes. He is serious. She can tell that.
"Dean , what won`t you take a nap? Meanwhile , I`ll start the fire effects on the computer. Ok?"
"You ... You right Ange. Its been a long day altough its only..." Dean says and looks at his watch "8:45 am."
Angie smiles.
"Welp..." Dean says and gets up "You are not going anywhere. Promise?" Dean says and touches Angie`s nose.
"I`m going anywhere , dad."
Dean smiles and walks to his room. Angie walks to the computer , turns it on and starts clicking on the keyboard.
"Oh! and Dean..." Angie says.
Dean stops and turns around.
"If it makes you feel safer , Mira sent a police unit to watch this place. It should arrive here in about ten minutes."
"That`s... That`s good." Dean says , smiles and walks into his room. He closes the door behind him.
He sees that the window of the room is opend.
"Hmmm..." Dean says "This window was closed today. Oh well..." Dean says , walks to the window and closes it.
Then he walks to the mirror and sits infront of it. He looks at it.
Dean sees his sweating face and his red eyes.
"Damn... I shouldnt had been yelling on Angie. I`m such a moron..." Dean says and closes his eyes.
Suddenly the closet behind him is slowly opend. Someone all dressed in black with a ski mask is stepping out of it and he holds an uzi with laster aiming and a silencer. He aimes the uzi to Dean. The red dot is slowly going up from Dean`s back to his head.
Dean slowly opens his eyes and sees in the mirror the black figure behind him with the uzi.
"OH NO!!" He screams and jumps on the floor just as the uzi starts fire.
The bullets hit mirror and break it to small pieces. Quickly Dean grabs the chair he sat on and throws it on the black figure.
The chair hits the shooter and the uzi falls out of his hands. Then Dean quickly gets up from the floor and jumps on the shooter.
Angie outside hears noises from Dean`s room.
"Dean,  Is everthing ok there?" Angie asks.
Dean dosent answer. He`s busy fighting with the shooter.
"Dean! Answer me!" Angie yells. She sees she dosent get an answer so she`s getting up from the chair infront of the computer and start walking to Dean`s room.
Meanwhile inside , Dean and the shooter are fighting.
Dean tries to punch the shooter but the shooter duckes and gives a spining kick to Dean`s leg. Dean`s falls down to the floor.
Angie opens the the door. The shooter spots her.
He quickly grabs the uzi from the floor and aimes it to Angie.
"AAA!!" Angie screams and runs away.
"ANGIE!! HIDE!!" Dean screams and gives the shooter a kick in the leg.
The shooter falls down to the floor. Dean grabs the uzi from the floor but also the shooter. They both get up and starts fighting over the uzi. The uzi is aimed to the ceiling and Dean accendently presses the trigger. The bullets starts flying to ceiling.

Smack!

Dean gets a kick in the place where it hurts the most and then the shooter gives Dean a hit in the head with the uzi.
Dean falls down to the floor , slightly uncontious.
"Oh... god... An... Angie..." Dean says slow and then the world around him turns black.
The shooter steps out of the room with the uzi and starts looking for Angie. He is droping the empty clip from the uzi and reloding it.
Angie is hiding behind a couch.
There is a phone on the floor and Angie quickly picks it up but the line is dead.
"Damn!" Angie whispers to herself. She slowly takes her head up and she sees the shooter walking inside the studio , searching for her.
Near Angie there is also the vampire doll with the remote control of it.
"Man , I hope it will work..." She thinks to herself.
She slowly crawls to the vampire and picks up the remote control of it from the floor.
She presses the ON button and starts playing with the remote. The vampire starts to move towards the shooter.
The shooter hears the noises. He turns around and sees the vampire comes towards him. He dosent know what the hell is it.
When the vampire is close to the shooter , Angie presses the BITE button on the remote.
Suddenly the vampire bites the shooter`s hand.
"AAAAAA!!" The shooter screams and tries to free his hand.
Meanwhile , outside the police unit arrives with Mike and Dan in it.
They hear the scream.
"What the... Lets check it!" Dan says and then he and Mike runs outside from the car to the studio. Mike starts kicking the door until it suddenly opens.
They see the shooter with the uzi.
"DROP IT!!" Mike and Dan yells together and aimes their guns to the shooter. The shooter kicks the vampire away and starts firing on Mike and Dan.
They quickly jump behind the studio doors for cover.
Then the shooter runs to Dean`s room , does a flipflop over the uncontious Dean and jumps out through the window.
"Go after him!" Mike yells to Dan. Dan runs outside.
Mike puts his gun in the pocket and enters the studio.
"ANGIE! ANGIE!"
"I`m here Mike..." Angie yells back and gets up from behind the couch.
"You ok?"
"Yeah , again FX saved the day."
"You said it. Where`s Dean Jerod?"
"DEAN! GOD!" Angie yells and runs to the room. She sees Dean on the lying on the floor.
Angie runs to Dean checks his pulse.
"He`s alive... thank god." She says to herself.
Mike comes behind her.
"Damn!" He takes out his radio "This is Dan. Send ambulance to Illusions studio. We have an injured man here." He puts the radio back.
"Oh... my head..." Dean says and shakes his head.
"Dean! You ok!" Angie says with tears.
"What the... THE SHOOTER!!" Dean yells and gets up quick.
"IS HE HERE??" He asks nearvously.
"He got away Dean... but adlist we are alive. I owe you again , your vampire saved me." Angie says and hugs Dean.
"Angie... do it again please..." Dean says.
"What?"
"Hug me again."
"You are spoiled , you know that?" Angie says and smiles.
"No, no , its something else. Do it."
Angie hugs Dean again.
"That`s it! But it cant be!!" Dean says and gets up from the floor.
"What??" Mike and Angie ask together.
"I felt the same thing when I fought the shooter. I think he had... brests!"
"Brests?!!?" Mike asks.
"Yes... I`m telling you. It felt the same when Angie huged me."
"You are nuts man!" Mike says.
"No , Mike , wait... I think he`s right. When the vampire bit the shooter he screamed , and it was a girl scream."
"So what are you saying? That the one who tried to kill you is a girl?" Mike asks.
"Not just a girl , a karate-girl. She kicked my butt!" Dean says.
Just then the ambulance and the cops arrived to the scene.

Part 24

Location :  Illusions studio.

The medic team is taking care of Dean`s head.
Angie is sitting on the couch , playing with the vampire remote control , making the vampire doll move.
Some of the cops are examing the bullets hole , taking pictures and etc.
"So Ange..." Mira asks and sits near Angie "What happend here? I guess you got another visit from the shadow."
"I guess its him. That was too close Mira , way too close." Angie says.
"So how you managed to get alive out of this?"
"Well... Dean fought the shadow but the shadow knocked him down and came after me. I was hiding behind the couch and luckly this remote control was near by. It controls the vampire here. I used it to bite the shooter`s hand."
"Again , as usual , FX magic saved you." Mira says and smiles.
"Yeah , but this time it was Dean`s FX magic... not Rollie`s"
"Ange... there`s something else I wanna talk to you. Mike said that you and Dean think that the shadow is a... a... woman."
"Yep."
"That`s new but then again it can be possible. No one saw the shadow`s face , but are you sure about it , Ange?"
"Yes I`m sure. When the vampire bit the shadow`s hand , the shadow screamed and I`m sure it was a girl scream."
"And Dean says that he felt a woman brests. Ok... I`ll check it out , but I need a few deatils from you." Mira says and takes out her small notebook.
"What do you wanna know?" Angie asks and puts the remote down on the couch.
"Can you describe him... I mean her?"
"I cant tell you much , because she was wearing a ski mask... Let me think..." Angie says and thinks.
"Ok... she was about 5`9 , thin and she had a small chest."
"Well , that`s minimize the suspects list to about 5 million people." Mira says.
"Sorry Mira , but I was too busy trying saving myself from not getting blown off."
"I`m sorry Ange ... but it does helps us a little." Mira says and gets up.
Dean comes near them.
"Hey Dean! How`s your head?" Angie asks.
"Its ok , I think... but dont worry about me. Are YOU ok?"
"Yeah I`m fine , thanks to your vamipre. It saved my life." Angie says and smiles.
"Listen guys , this is getting too dangerous. The shadow never attacked twice in a same day , especially in one half hour. I`m leaving here some units , they`ll watch the studio."
"Just make sure they watch better this time. Look what this woman did to my studio with her uzi!" Dean says angrily.
"I`m really sorry Dean , but just be happy that you have bullet holes in the wall and not in you."
"I guess you right , but I really really dont wanna end up dead..." Dean says and walks away.
"Ok Ange, I`m off now. You..." Mira says and looks at Angie.
Angie wears her thinking face.
"Ange? Angie!" Mira yells.
"Ha?? What... oh! sorry Mira , I was just thinking about the shadow. There was something else about her... something in the scream... I thought I reconized the voice."
"The voice??" Mira says and sits near Angie.
"What is it Ange?"
"Ia... When the shadow screamed , the voice sounded so familer. Like... like I heard it before. I just cant place it... wait a second! WAIT A SECOND! I KNOW WHO`S THAT VOICE WAS!!" Angie yells and gets up quick from the couch.
"Who?? Who , Ange?" Mira asks nearvously.
"LISA! LISA FLETCHER!!"

Part 25

Location :  Illusions studio.

"Lisa?? Lisa Fletcher?!?! She`s the shadow??" Mira asks.
"YES! Its gotta be her!" Angie says.
"Ok... lets look at the facts : Lisa is also 5`9 , she`s thin and she has small chest but it dosent say that she tired to kill you."
"What about her voice?!? The scream?!?"
"You think its her! You dont know if it was her scream!" Mira says.
"You dont belive me?? Ok , call Rollie! He`s in the BLACK DAGGER movie set! ask him if Lisa is there with him!"
"Angie..."
"What do you have to lose? one phone call , thats it!"
"Ok , I`ll do it." Mira says and takes out her cellphone "But I`m telling you... its a long shot." She continues and dails Rollie`s cell phone number.
After a few rings Rollie answers.
"Tyler here."
"Rollie , its Mira."
"Mira! Glad to here from you... did you catch the shadow?"
"Not yet but I`m working on it. We got some new leads thanks to Angie and Dean."
"What? What are you talking about?"
"The shadow tried to kill Angie today... twice."
"Oh my god! Is she ok? Where are you , I`ll come right now!"
"She`s ok Roll. You dont need to come. Listen... according to our new leads , the shadow is a girl."
"A girl??"
"Yeah , its not all. She`s about 5`9 , thin and has small chest..."
"Hmm... that`s sound like Lisa."
"Yeah... Angie was managed to hit the shadow with a little FX trick and she heard the shadow screaming... Angie reconzied the scream , Rollie. She says it was Lisa`s scream."
"Lisa? As Lisa Fletcher? My Lisa Fletcher?"
"I wanna check it with you. Listen... Is Lisa on the set with you now?"
"As a matter of fact , no. She said today she was gonna look for a place to live in with the 1000$ we got from you."
"Rollie , when did you leave the workshop?"
"About 8:00 am."
"Hmmm... the shadow tried to kill Angie in about 8:15 today." Mira says.
"Come on Mira , you dont think its Lisa? I mean she cant do this... If she was the shadow , how I`m still living? She stayed in my workshop for a few days , with me! If she was the shadow she could have kill me many times when I was asleep for example. Lisa is a nice girl. Angie is probably making this up."
"WHAT?!?! WHAT DID HE SAY?!?! I`M MAKING THIS UP??!?" Angie screames.
"Oh... Angie is there with you , Mira?" Rollie asks.
"Yes Rollie , here she is." Mira says and gives Angie the cellphone.
"ROLLIE! YOU THINK I`M MAKING THIS UP?!?!"  Angie screams into the cell phone.
"Come one Ange! You are jealous in Lisa because she is working with now and not you... admit it!"
"WHAT?!?! I`M NOT JEALOUS!! ROLLIE , LISA IS THE SHADOW!"
"Based on what Ange? on a scream? you`ll say anything to get Lisa out of the way , wouldnt you?"
"GOD ROLLIE! LISTEN TO ME!! SHE IS THE SHADOW AND I`LL PROOVE IT!!"
"Well if you can... Oh! I see Lisa comming right now with her car... gotta hang up..."
"Wait Rollie! What car is she driving?" Angie asks nearvously.
"A black car..."
"Is it a sport car?"
"Ugh... No... Listen , I gotta hang up... bye." Rollie says and hangs up.
Angie gives Mira her cell phone back.
"See Mira! Lisa wasnt with Rollie at the set! Doesnt it proove you that she tried to kill me?!?"
"The fact that she wasnt there dosent mean that she tried to kill you Ange! You heard Rollie , she was out looking for a place to live."
"She lied to him!" Angie yells.
"You dont know that!" Mira yells back.
Dean comes near.
"What is all the yelling about? What`s wrong Ange?"
"Rollie and Mira dont belive me that Lisa is the shadow!"
"Angie , I didnt say I dont belive you but you need prooves! I need prooves! SOLID prooves!" Mira says in angre.
"Who is Lisa?" Dean asks.
"That`s Rollie`s assistant." Angie says.
"You think Rollie`s assistant is the shadow?"
"I know its her... but I cant proove it."
Dean looks at Angie , then at the vamipre doll and then at Angie again.
"Maybe you can... Ange , you said that the vampire I built bit the shadow`s hand , right?" Dean says.
"Right."
"So why won`t we ask Lisa to show us her hands? There`s gotta be a wound there. A big wound , if she screamed." Dean says.
"YOU RIGHT!!" Angie yells happily.
"Good thinking... Lets go to the set and ask her. I mean if she`s not the shadow she won`t mind." Mira says.
"Lets go now... You should come too, Dean." Angie says.
"Ok ... Lets take my van." Dean says.

Part 26

Location :  The "BLACK DAGGER" Movie set.

Dean parks his van , near the set.
Angie , Mira and Dean steps out of the it. Dean looks at his watch. 10:05 am.
"Ok , where`s Rollie?" Dean asks and looks around the set.
"Hey , I see him! He`s behind the triple screen and Lisa is next to him." Angie says.
"Lets go talk to them." Mira says and they all start walking towards Rollie and Lisa.

"OK CUT!! PRINT!! TYLER , NICE WORK! BETTER THAN I THOUGHT!" The director yells to Rollie.
"Thanks Sam! What about the next scene?" Rollie yells back.
"You and your assistant can take a ten minutes off. I`ll tell you later what I want for the next scene. Go grab something to eat , ok?"
"Ok! Youre the boss!"
"And dont you forget it!"
Rollie smiles.
"Hey Lisa , so you want something to eat?"
"Sure. I looked so hard today for a place to live... but I didnt find one good enough. Sorry Roll."
Rollie puts his arm around Lisa.
"Dont worry... I`m sure you`ll find one soon. Now lets go eat." Rollie says and they walk to the food table where Dean , Angie and Mira are waiting.
Rollie and Lisa spot them.
"Hey guys! Hi Dean ... Listen , I wanna apologize for hiting you. I dont know what came into me and..." Rollie says.
"Hey , dont worry about it. Just dont do it again."
"Roll... I see you enjoy here." Mira says and smiles.
"Allot... so what brings you here? How`s the KILLER BLOOD movie going on?"
"Its ok..." Dean says "Listen man , we need to talk to Lisa."
"Oh... Its not about we talked on the phone , is it?" Rollie asks.
"What about me?" Lisa asks.
"Well..." Angie starts to say "Someone tried to kill me today... twice."
"Yeah , Rollie told me about the shadow. I`m glad you ok. This guy is dangerous." Lisa says.
"First of all , its not a man. Its a woman..."
"A woman?" Lisa asks , suprised.
"Yeah and I think its you!" Angie says angrily.
"Me??" Lisa says and laughes "I`m the shadow?? Is that what you think??" Lisa says while laughing.
"Angie , leave Lisa alone! You are nuts!" Rollie says in angre.
"Rollie! I didnt come all over here if I wasnt sure! Lisa , show me your hands!" Angie says angrily.
"My ... my hands?? why?"
"Just show me them!"
"No!"
"Are you affraid that we`ll see the BITING wound you have there?" Angie asks.
"What biting wound? Its my hands and if I dont wanna show , then I won`t show them!"
"Lisa , come on... show her your hands and lets get this thing over with. We shall all see how mad Angie is." Rollie says.
"O... Ok Rollie." Lisa says and pulls up the sleeve on her right arm.
Angie looks at it. She sees nothing.
"Show me the other!"
"Come on Angie! Lisa not the shadow! Where the hell did you get this idea?!?" Rollie says in angre.
"SHOW ME NOW!!" Angie yells at Lisa.
"Wow! Calm down... ok... here it is." Lisa says and pulls up the sleeve on her left arm.
Nothing there either. No wound on both hands.
"Happy Angie?" Lisa asks.
"NO! IT CANT BE! SHE IS THE SHADOW , I TELL YOU MIRA! ITS HER!" Angie yells.
"Ange , you can see she has no wounds on her hands... you are wrong. She`s not the shadow." Mira says.
"Ofcourse I`m not!" Lisa says.
"ITS HER!" Angie yells.
"Are we finished here? we need to get back to the set." Rollie says.
"Sure , sorry man..." Dean says.
"No problem..." Rollie says.
"Lets go ladies." Dean says.
"NO! SHE IS THE SHADOW!! SHE SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW!"
"Angie! you are getting my nerves! You wanted to come here and check her hands and you did it! There are no wounds on her hands!" Mira yells.
"She must had been taking care of them! She probably went to hospital to make some stiches!"
"Angie! Her hands are clear! there are no treatment signs on her hands! If she was taking care of them we could have seen marks on her hands but we didnt! You are trying to blame the wrong man... I mean woman!"
"Calm down ladies!" Dean yells.
"Yeah , calm down! Lisa is no killer!" Rollie says in angre.
"Rollie ... leave Angie alone ... please , she`s just upset about what happend today. I`m willing to forget this thing." Lisa says calmly.
"NO! Dont justify what Angie is doing! She is crazy!" Rollie yells angrily.
"Crazy?!?!" Angie yells back.
"YES! You hate Lisa , dont you?!? because she is working with me and you are not! It was you that decided to leave me and now you probably want to come back and this is the only way you could have think about! You hit the bottom Ange , you really did!"
"Rollie , this has nothing to do with the fact that Lisa is working with you! She is the shadow and I know it!"
"What the hell do you want?!?! You wanted to check her hands for wounds and you didnt find any! Dosent it tells you that she is not the shadow!?!?"
"She is and I`m gonna proove it even if that`s the last thing I`ll do!" Angie says in angre and walks away to Dean`s van.
Dean and Mira looks at Angie as she walks to Dean`s van.
"What the hell is wrong with her?" Rollie asks.
"She`ll be ok... Lets go detective Sanchez." Dean says and walks away to his van.
"Bye Rollie , Bye Lisa. I apologize for Angie." Mira says.
"Dont worry Mira... but try to catch the shadow , ok? I mean the REAL one." Rollie says.
"I`ll do what I can... Bye." Mira says and walks to Dean`s van.
Dean enters the van and sees Angie , starring at Lisa with an angry look.
"Ange , are you ok?" Dean asks.
"No , everyone thinks I`m crazy. Why no one belives me that Lisa is the shadow?"
"Look , I wanna belive you but we need prooves and..."
Just then Mira enters the van and looks at Angie.
"Angie , you have allot of explaining to do about what you did to Lisa!" She says in angre.
"What do you want from me?!"
"What do I want from you?!? You didnt apologize to Lisa!"
"Aplogize?!?! I rather be dead then apologize to this hitman... I mean hitwoman!"
"I`m warning Angie! Stay away from Lisa!" Mira says angrily.
"But I..."
"LADIES!" Dean yells.
"What?!?!" They both ask together.
"Calm down! ... Look detective , if Angie says that Lisa is the shadow then Rollie is in great danger and we must..." Dean says.
"Not you too!" Mira says.
"Look , I know we need prooves but..." Dean starts to say but then Angie interrupts him.
"Ok , Mira! You want prooves?!? I`ll give you one! I have a plan..." Angie says and then takes her look to Dean.
"Dean , I`ll need to use you FX gear... if Lisa or as Mira wants to call her , the shadow , thinks that me and Mira are dead , she will probably kill Rollie right after so all we need to do is..."
"Wow... Time out! Angie , I won`t use my FX gear to help the police , I`m not Rollie." Dean says and starts the engine.
"Dean , please! this is the only way we will be able to proove that Lisa is the shadow!"
Dean starts to drive away from the BLACK DAGGER set.
"Angie , what do you have in mind?" Mira asks.
Angie takes her look to Mira.
"I`ll tell you later..." Angie says and takes her look to Dean.
"Ok , but you better be on the level." Mira says.
"Dean... the plan won`t go wrong , please!"
"No! This is real life and not some low budget movie! You can get hurt for real and I`m not gonna be there when you or Mira will take a bullet to your head! Besides , you dont know how the shadow will strike!"
"I know , that`s why you will be my backup plan." Angie says and smiles.
Dean looks at Angie in a funny way. The look that says "HA?"
"Ok Ange... I`ll help you. I`ll probably regreat saying this." Dean says.
"No you won`t. Trust me. Ok so the plan is..."

"Angie , I`m not going to do this! You are nuts!" Mira says in angre.
"Please , Mira! This will be the only way she`ll you are dead for sure."
"Forget it!" Mira says and crosses her arms.
"Look , Angie. Mira is right. She`s not trained for this stuff  BUT..." Dean says.
He starts looking slowly at Mira for the foot to the head like he is scanning her.
"See anything you like , Dean?" Mira asks in angre.
"Ha? No... I mean it`s not what you think. You are perfect!" Dean says and smiles.
"Perfect for what?" Mira asks.
"Can you give me your cellphone please , detective?"
Mira gives Dean her cellphone.
"Who are you calling too?" Angie asks.
Dean starts to punch the numbers on the cellphone.
"To a friend I used to work with in some movies and ows me some favours... Hi , Monica? This is Dean... Yeah... Listen , I need a favour..."

After 15 minutes , Dean hears some knockings on the door.
"Oh , it`s probably Monica." Dean says and walks to the door and opens it. A woman stands there.
"Hi Dean. Long time no see..." The woman says and smiles.
"Hi Monica." Dean says and hugs Monica. Then they both enter the studio and Dean closes the door behind.
Angie and Mira comes near.
"Hello , I`m Angela Ramirez and this is detective Mira Sanchez." Angie says and shakes Monica`s hand.
"Hello , I`m Monica Richfiled. I used to work with Dean in a few movies."
Mira shakes Monica`s hand.
"Yeah , Dean told us. You were a stunt woman , right?"
"I still am. I just dont work with Dean..."
"Listen Monica, I really appriciate you agreed to do this. Your part is dangerous." Angie says.
Dean comes near with a glass of water.
"There you go Monica. Listen , when we`ll finish this plan I`m gonna forget all the other favours you ow me."
"You better." Monica says , smiles and takes the glass from Dean`s hand.
She takes a sip from the water.
"So when do we start?" Monica asks.
"Go and sit there... I`ll prepre you for your part in 5 minutes."
"Ok." Monica says and walks away.
Dean takes his look to Angie and Mira.
"Ok , listen you two... after I`ll set Monica up for her part , I`ll drive to Angie`s house and make all the necessary parts. You wait here until I`ll call you and give you the news."
"Got it." Angie says.
Then Dean walks to Monica and starts to set her up.

Part 28

"Ok! Monica is ready to go!" Dean says.
Monica comes near Angie and Mira.
"How do I look?" She asks and smiles.
"You look GREAT! I mean really great! It looks so real! Nice work Dean!" Mira says happily.
Dean comes near and smiles.
"Thanks. I`m gonna drive to Angie`s place now. Wait for my call."
"Ok Dean , dont worry." Monica says.
Dean grabs a small bag from the table and then steps out of the studio into his van.
He starts the van and drives to Angie`s house.

One hour later...

The phone rings at the studio.
Angie runs to it and answers.
"Yeah?"
"Angie , its Dean. Everything is ready. Do your part and again wait for my call. Angie , this is important ! Dont go near your house until you`ll get my next call !"
"I know what to do. Dont worry. Bye."
Angie puts the phone down and then looks at Mira and Monica.
"Well?" Mira asks.
"Lets go!" Angie says and they all step out of the studio to Mira`s car.
Mira starts the engine and drive to Rollie`s workshop.

After they get there Mira tells Monica to stay in the car and make sure no one sees her.
Then Mira and Angie step out of the car and walks towards the workshop where there are a few police cars near , guarding the place.
Mira takes her badge out and shows it to the cops.
She and Angie steps into the workshop door and Mira knocks on it. After a few seconds , Lisa opens the door.
"Hi detective , Angie. What brings you here?"
"Who is it Lisa?" Rollie yells from inside.
"Its Angie and detective Sanchez!" Lisa yells back.
"Hi Lisa. Angie wants to tell you something." Mira says and takes her look to Angie "Angie..."
"Ia... I`m sorry for yelling at you at the movie set."
Rollie comes near Lisa.
"Hi guys... Angie... did you come here to see if Lisa already killed me?" Rollie asks cynically.
"No , she came to apologize, Rollie. Now stop tizzing her... I accept your apology. Thank you." Lisa says.
"But I still think you are the shadow." Angie says.
"Oh no! here we go again!" Rollie says and walks into the workshop.
"ANGIE!" Mira yells.
"No! I won`t change my mind about this! I won`t rest until she will be in jail!" Angie says in angre.
"OK! Thats it! We are going to your apartment and we`ll stay there! I personnaly gonna stay there and make sure you won`t come here and hares Lisa!" Mira yells in angre.
"But Mira..."
"NO BUTS! TO MY CAR , NOW!"
"Ok , Ok." Angie says and walks back to Mira`s car.
Mira looks at Angie and then she takes her look back to Lisa.
"I apologize for Angie. I thought she`ll get over this you and the shadow thing. Like I said , I`m gonna stay in her apartment and make sure she won`t come here."
"No problems detective. I think she`ll be ok in a day or two." Lisa says and smiles.
"I sure hope so. Bye Lisa." Mira says and walks to her car.
Mira enters her car , starts the engine and drives away.
"Monica , you can come up now." Mira says while looking at backseat mirror.
"Good." Monica says and sits on the seat.
"So what now , girls?" Monica asks.
"Now we gonna wait until Dean will call us." Angie says.

Lisa closes the workshop door and walks to the kitchen where Rollie is taking a beer out of the fridge.
"You know Rollie , Angie is starting to make me nerves."
Rollie opens the beer and takes a sip.
"I know. Me too... its like I dont know her. She was never this upset in her life."
"I really worry about her. Maybe we should call her and ask her to come over here and we`ll try to sort this thing out. I dont know why she hates me."
"I think because you are working for me and not hers. I felt angry too that I beat up Dean , her partner... but I now realized that Angie is now working with Dean and not with me. I hope she`ll realize that too , that you are working for me and not her."
Lisa takes a long hard breath.
"Maybe... Maybe you right. Listen... I`ll go out and check this apartment I found. I think its perfect." Lisa says and smiles.
"Hey , that`s great Liz! Can I come to see it?"
"Ugh... no , let me check it first alone , but I promise that tommorow I`ll show it to you."
"Oh... ok. Bye." Rollie says and takes another sip from the beer.
"Bye." Lisa says and steps out of the workshop to the street.

The cell phone rings.
"Angie , can you get it please? The cell phone is in my bag." Mira says while driving and looking at the road.
"Ok." Angie says and takes out Mira`s cell phone from Mira`s bag.
She answers it.
"Yeah? Angie here."
"Angie. Its Dean... its time to get the show on the road. Please... be careful ! all of you."
"Ok Dean , is the shadow where we think she is?"
"Yeah."
"Ok , bye." Angie says and hangs up.
"Well?" Monica asks.
Angie takes her look to Monica.
"Its show time!" Angie says and smiles. Then she takes her look to Mira.
"Drive to my house Mira. Now , we gonna find out who the shadow who really is!"
"I hope the FX won`t fail us now." Mira says and changes the course to Angie`s house.

Part 29

Location : Angie`s apartment.

Angie opens the door and enters the house with Mira after her.
"I`m going to the kitchen. You want something?" Angie says while closing the door.
"No thanks. Listen , I`m gonna watch the windows to see if the shadow is outside." Mira says and walks to the big window.
"Ok." Angie says and walks to the kitchen.
She walks to fridge , opens it and takes a cart of milk.
Then Angie hears someone walking in the kitchen.
"Mira? Is that you?" Angie asks and turns around.
"Oh god!"
She sees someone dressed all in black , wearing a ski mask , aiming a small uzi at her. The sameone who was at Dean`s studio and tried to kill her. The shadow.
"Please ... no!" Angie says , scared and takes a few steps back.
The shadow opens fire on her and hits Angie in the chest a few times.
Angie flies to the back and slammed against the wall with all the blood on her and then she falls to the floor. The milk cart falls from her hand all the milk is splatterd on floor along with Angie`s blood.

"Angie? Is everything ok there?" Mira asks while looking outside.
She gets no answer.
"Angie?? Dont play with me now! This is not funny!" Mira says and turns arond.
She sees the shadow infront of her with the uzi.
"YOU!" Mira says and tries to reach out for her gun , but the shadow is quicker.
The shadow aimes the uzi to Mira , opens fire on her and hits Mira in the chest.
The bullets hit Mira  and she flies out through the window , causing the windows breaks to pieces.
Mira falls three floors down to the street.
The shadow looks at the broken window for a few seconds and then steps out of Angie`s apartment.

Meanwhile outside...

Dean walks to Mira`s body.
He looks at it and smiles.
"Good job! you can get up now."
Mira opens her eyes ( she fell on a big air bag ). She slowly gets up from the air bag.
Then she reaches her hand to her face and pulls it off.
"Monica, you played Mira real good... and the fall from Angie`s apartment was awsome!" Dean says.
"Thanks..." Monica says while holding Mira`s mask in her hand "Where`s the detective , anyway?"
"I`m right here." Mira says and comes near Dean.
"Great job Monica. Now I know why I didnt want to take this fall. I`m glad you did it insted of me." Mira says and smiles.
"Well..." Monica says and jumps off the air bag "I did worse , belive me." She continues and gives the mask to Dean.
"Monica , if you wanna go home now..." Dean says.
"Hell no! I wanna see how you gonna catch this shadow guy." Monica says and smiles.
Mira takes out her cell phone and dails a number. After a few rings , someone answers.
"Yeah?"
"Angie. Its Mira , the real one. Are you ok?"
"Yes Mira. Did you see how Monica fell from my house?" Angie asks and smiles.
"Yeah... it was great."
"Damn! I missed it... well did the shadow pulled out his mask? did we get it in camera?"
"No , sorry. But come outside quick , we gonna follow the shadow now. Dean knows what car she is driving."
"Ok , I`m comming down."

Part 30

Location : Angie`s apartment.

Angie runs out of her building to the street. Dean`s van comes infront of her.
"Angie! come quick! The shadow already took off!" Dean yells from the van.
Angie runs to the van and enters it. Dean starts driving after the shadow`s car.
"Ok , here`s the shadow car. Follow it carefully Dean. I dont want to give the shadow the idea the someone is following him." Mira says.
"Belive me , you`re not the only one." Dean says.
Dean follows and follows the shadow until they all get to a red light ( Dean`s van and the shadow`s car ).
Suddenly , the shadow presses on the gas paddel and the car starts to drive away from Dean`s van.
"DAMN! AFTER THE CAR!" Mira yells.
Dean hits the gas paddle and starts to drive but then he hits the breaks beacuse of all the cars that came from the other corner and blocked his way. The shadow`s car disappears in the corner.
"NO!!! WE LOST HER!!" Mira yells in angre.
"Wait! I think I know where she`s heading... Dean , drive to Rollie`s workshop! quick!" Angie says quick.
"Got ya!" Dean says and does drives back. He turns the van around and drives to the other direction.

Dean parks his van infront of the workshop.
Monica , Angie , Mira and Dean jumps out of the van and runs to the two police cars that are parked near the workshop.
Monica gets to the police cars first and yells "OFFICERS! YOU GOTTA H... OH MY GOD!!" Monica screams and cover her mouth with her hands.
Angie , Mira and Dean runs to Monica who is shaking.
"What? What is Mon..." Dean says and looks into the police car "Oh no..." He continues and closes his eyes.
Angie and Mira looks at the officers inside the police car. They are all dead. Looks like someone pumps some bullets inside each one of the cops. Blood is all over the place.
"Oh my god! ROLLIE!" Angie screams and runs to the workshop door.
Mira grabs her back.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?!? DONT GO INSIDE!! THE SHADOW WILL KILL YOU!!" Mira yells.
"BUT ROLLIE..."
"STAY HERE AND CALL FOR HELP! I`LL GO INSIDE!"
Mira , quickly , takes out her cellphone and gives it to Angie.
"Call the police! I`ll go get Rollie! and whatever you hear... DONT GO INSIDE!" Mira says and takes her gun out.
She runs to the workshop , kicks the door open and enters inside.
Slowly , Mira starts to walk in the workshop. She looks to the right , to the left but she sees nothing. The place is quite.
"Rollie?" Mira says loud. No one answers.
Mira continue to walk slow into the kitchen , when she gets there , she sees someone lying on the floor with broken pieces of a coffee cup near.
"Oh my god... Lisa..." Mira says and moves slowly to Lisa. Lisa`s eyes are closed.
Mira ducks to Lisa and checks her pulse. Lisa is alive. Mira breaths for relife and touches Lisa.
"Lisa... Lisa... its Mira."
"Ha? what... who... who is it?" Lisa says in a weak voice and slowly opens her eyes.
"Are you ok?"
"Ia... I dont know. God , I have a big headace." Lisa says and slowly gets up from the floor.
"Let me help you." Mira says and help Lisa up.
"Thanks , detective." Lisa says.
"What happend here?"
"I dont know. I was making coffee and then someone hit me on the head from behind. The last thing I saw was this coffee cup falling out of my hand to the floor and me with it."
"Damn! Listen to me... get out of here quick as you can. No questions asked." Mira says.
"Ok." Lisa says and walks to the door.
Mira quickly runs to the staris and says loud "Rollie? Rollie? where are you?"
"Mira , is that you?" Rollie says from upstaris.
"Yes , come down quick! we need to get you out of here!"
Rollie runs down staris to Mira.
"Why?"
"I think the shadow is here. Now lets go quick!" Mira says and puts her gun back.
"Oh , you right detective... The shadow is here!" Mira and Rollie hear together.
They slowly take thier look the door ( where the voice came from ).
"Oh my god..." Mira says.
"It cant be! LISA! YOU ARE THE SHADOW?!?" Rollie yells , shocked by disbelife.
Lisa is standing near the door with an uzi. She smiles an evil grin. She takes out a small key and locks the workshop door. Then she aimes her uzi to the keypad near the door and starts blasting it. The keypad breakes to pieces.
Then she takes her look back to Mira and Rollie.
"Throw me you gun detective! and do it slow!" Lisa says in angre.
"Ok ok... calm down..." Mira says.
"So someone didnt hit you in the head , I guess. It was all a big show." Mira says while taking her gun out.
"Good work detective... You see , I saw Dean`s van following me after I shot Angie and You. So I decided to come here and do this little act so you won`t know that I`m the shadow."
"So Angie was right all along...." Rollie says.
Mira throws her gun to Lisa. Lisa picks the gun from the floor and places it in her pocket.
"But if you are alive , detective , it means that Angie is probably alive."
"You tried to ran over Angie with the sports car?" Rollie asks.
"Yeah , and when that didnt work because of that other FX man , I decided to break into the studio from behind and wait for them there. Dean was lucky to stay alive , and I almost got Angie if there wasnt for that damn vampire! This thing bite my hand!"
"But we didnt find any wound at your hands." Rollie says.
"Oh ... that... well , I used some fake skin to trick you all. I coverd the wound with it. Pretty smart ha?" Lisa says with an evil grin.
"Oh yeah... why didnt you kill me the first time you got here?" Rollie asks.
"Well , too many people saw me walk inside. Afcourse I could have killed you the next day but then all the suspicios would have been on me. So I decided to wait for a few days and then kill you."
"You pretty smart Lisa. You came to stay here in the workshop , because you knew the NYPD will search in hotels and motels. And I bet your car is probably stolen so because you knew that we`ll look for anyone who rented a car."
"Bingo! You cops are so predictable. And when I found out that Rollie needed an assistant... man , that was a gift from heaven!"
"And one other thing..." Mira starts to say.
"ENOUGH TALK!" Lisa yells and aimes her uzi to Rollie and Mira "Who wants to go first , ha?"
Rollie and Mira excahnge looks. Then Rollie takes his look to Lisa.
"I will , but can I have one last requast?" Rollie asks.
"Ok , as long as its reasonble and short." Lisa says with a smile.
"Oh , it will be short... infact its only two words."
"And what are they?" Lisa asks.
"BLUEY , DRAGON!" Rollie yells.
"HA??" Lisa asks.
Suddenly the big dragon , turns his face to Lisa and starts to blow smoke on Lisa`s face.
"RUN!!" Rollie screams to Mira and they both starts running towards the phone boot.
"TTYYLLERR!" Lisa screams and starts firing all directions.
The bullets fly over Rollie`s and Mira`s heads as they running. The bullets hits every where and making holes in the workshop.
"AAAA!!" Mira screams. One of the bullets hits her leg and she falls down to the floor.
"MIRA!" Rollie yells and runs to Mira. He tries to help her up.
"NO! ROLLIE , SAVE YOURSELF!! RUN!!" Mira screams while holding her leg.
"I`M NOT LEAVING YOU HERE!"
"ROLLIE!! DO IT AND DO IT NOW!!"
Rollie sees he has no choice. He starts running just as smoke begins to clear. He runs to the kitchen and hides there.
The smoke clears and Lisa steps out of it. She drops the empty clip on the floor and reloads the uzi.
Lisa looks around the workshop but she only sees Mira lying on the floor , holding her leg.
Lisa smiles an evil grin and walks to Mira.
"No honor among heroes , eh Tyler? Why dont you come out first... if you dont , I might kill you little friend here." Lisa says loud while walking to Mira.
Rollie slowly takes his head out from the kitchen. He sees Lisa standing near Mira with her uzi pointed to Mira`s head.
"Damn..." Rollie thinks to himself.
He sees an apple on the floor.
"I hope it will work..." Rollie says to himself and picks up the apple.
"Well , Tyler? I`ll count to 5 and then I`m gonna blow Mira`s head off. ONE!"
Rollie quickly throws the the apple to the door and hit it. The apple makes noise.
Lisa quickly turns around and looks at the door.
Rollie gets up from the floor and starts running to the phoneboot but Lisa spots him and starts firing on him.
Rollie jumps on the floor near the computer as the bullets hit the computer and the screen and knock them off the table.
"Ok , Ok! I give up!" Rollie yells and slowly gets up from the floor.
"I`m not gonna get out of it alive , anyway." He continues.
"No... youre not. Now come here!" Lisa says and signals Rollie to come near Mira with her uzi.
Rollie comes near Mira.
"This time , I`m not gonna waste my time talking. Say bye bye you two!" Lisa says and she`s about to pull the trigger.
"LISA FLETCHER! THIS IS CAPTIAN VANDURAN! STEP OUT OF THE WORKSHOP WITH YOUR HANDS UP!" Rollie , Lisa and Mira hears.
"Dont move!" Lisa says and runs to the window. She sees allot of police units outside and allot of cops aiming thier guns to the workshop. Vanduran is also there with his mega-phone.
"Great! Just great!" Lisa says in angre and turns around to Rollie and Mira.
"Its over Lisa. Give up!" Rollie says.
"No way. The shadow never gives up! You gonna find me away out of here and you`ll do it now!" Lisa says while walking to Rollie.
"You gotta be kiding , why would I help you?"
"Because..." Lisa says and aimes her uzi to Mira.
"Ok! I`ll do it!"
"NO! ROLLIE! Dont help her!"
"I`m sorry Mira , but she`ll kill you if I dont... I gotta do it. Come Lisa , I know how you gonna get out." Rollie says and walks to the phone boot.
"Remember , no tricks!" Lisa says and walks after him.
"Rollie! dont!" Mira yells but no use. Rollie presses a few buttons at the phone and the secret wall opens.
Lisa smiles.
"Nice." She says "No move it!"
Rollie and Lisa step outside to the alley. The secret wall closes behind them.
Lisa looks at the street outside the alley. There are no police cars there.
Rollie starts walking a few steps foward.
"Stop! turn around and put your hands up." Lisa says.
Rollie turns around and raises his hands up.
"Thank you Rollie but as you know I have to kill you now. I cant let you help the police getting me , so..." Lisa says and aimes the uzi to Rollie "Bye..."

SMACK!

Rollie kicks the uzi off Lisa`s hands with his knee. The uzi flies to the back.
"What the..." Lisa says , suprised.
Rollie grabs her arm.
"Its over Lisa! I`m taking you to the cops now!"
"Guess again!" Lisa says and gives Rollie a kick in the face.
Rollie flies back and lands on his back.
Lisa comes near him.
"No one but no one will take me down! did you understand that??!!" Lisa says in angre.
"I`m gonna do it even if I have to use force!" Rollie says.
"Well... you better use it now."
Rollie quickly gets up from the ground and he`s about to punch Lisa but Lisa jumps in the air and gives Rollie a spinning kick , straight in the face.
Rollie flies to the side and slammed against the wall. But Rollie dosent give up. He turns around and runs to Lisa but Lisa grabs Rollie by his shirt , Rolls over to the back and throws Rollie to the other alley wall with his her leg. Again Rollie flies and slammed agains the wall, but this time he falls down the ground.
"Oh... god..." Rollie says slow and cleans the blood off his lips.
Lisa comes near Rollie who is lying on the ground.
She smiles and evil grin.
"See Rollie , you cant beat me no matter how much you try BUT enoughe chit-chat." Lisa says and grabs Rollie`s hair. She pulls Rollie`s up and puts him on his knees ( Now Lisa is behind Rollie ).
She grabs Rollie`s face.
"You are good Lisa. You are really really good. Do you give lessons?" Rollie says in a weak voice.
Lisa smiles.
"Well , This lesson is on me Rollie. It called 'Breaking the neck of an FX man' . Bye Rollie." Lisa says and she`s about to break Rollie`s neck.
Rollie quickly grabs Lisa`s leg with his hand and pulls it foward.
"AA!" Lisa yells and falls to the ground.
Rollie quickly gets up from the ground and runs to uzi.
He grabs the uzi and aimes to Lisa. Lisa slowly gets up from the ground.
"Now I beat you Lisa! Put your hands up!" Rollie says.
Lisa smiles.
"You know... I bet you dont have the guts to pull that trigger."
"You wanna try me?"
"I know you wont pull the trigger. Youre not a killer. Bye Rollie , I`m taking off." Lisa says and turns around. She starts running to the street.
"LISA ! STOP !" Rollie yells but he dosent pull the trigger. He cant.
"LISA !" Rollie yells again.
Lisa runs and runs to the street and when she gets there she apperantly bumps into the street , tears it up and falls down.
"What the..." Lisa says and looks around while she`s lying on the floor.
She sees all the cops around her , aiming thier guns to her. Angie , Dean and Monica are also there , smiling.
Lisa looks at them and then to the back. She sees a small folding screen , all teard up with a projector near it.
"See Angie , I told ya the screen will trick her." Dean says.
"I guess I ow you 5 bucks." Angie replies.
"NOOOO!!!!" Lisa screams. She gets up from the floor and the cops cuff her.
Rollie comes running to the scene with the uzi.
"Hi Roll. What`s up?" Angie asks and smiles.
"You... You used the same trick me and Lisa used to catch those bank robbers , Jason Brooks and Greg Scott." Rollie says , suprised.
"Yeah..." Dean says "I tought that if it worked before , why would it work again? Angie told me about the alley and the secret exit there so I took a picture of the street from the alley and used the projector and the folding screen to make Lisa think that the street is clear."
"AAARRRGGHHH!! I`M GONNA KILL YOU ALL !!" Lisa screams.
Rollie comes near Lisa.
"Lisa , you are fired!"
"AARRGHH!" Lisa scream and tries to kick Rollie but the cops pulls her back.
"Wait!" Angie yells to the cops who are holding Lisa.
They stop and Angie comes near.
"You are smart Angie... but I thought I killed you and Mira in you apartment."
"Well... I`ll tell what really happend :" Angie starts to say.

"After the we went to visit you and Rollie in the BLACK DAGGER movie-set , I wanted to proove you are the shadow but I didnt know how. So I made this small plan... Dean installed some mini cameras in my apartment and he waited in his van to see if you are comming and the only way to make you come is by telling you where me and Mira were. So me and Mira came to the workshop and we did this little show that I apologize and then yell at you. Remember when Mira yelled at me that we`ll go to my apartment and stay there so I wont come to workshop? That was the bait. We wanted you to know where we were going and knew that you would probably go and wait there to kill me and Mira. Dean caught you in the mini-cameras he installed there and called to us to tell that you are in my house. So we used bullet proof vest and some fake blood to make you think you killed us."

"But I saw Mira falling out of the window after I shot her." Lisa says.

"That wasnt Mira. That was a stunt woman dressed Like Mira and she wore Mira`s mask. There was a big air bag down staris to block the fall. After you 'killed' us , we followed you but apperantly you knew that and ran away . The rest you know."

"Damn you Angie. If I get out of this, you`ll be the first one that I`ll kill." Lisa says with an angry face.
"Talk is cheap , Lisa. Ok guys, you can take her away." Angie says to the cops and the cops take Lisa to the police car.
Rollie comes near Angie.
"Listen Angie... I wanna apologize."
"For what Roll?"
"For not beliving you... I belived Lisa whom I have known for a few days insted of beliving you who I have known for about 13 years."
"Its not your fault. Its just that we all went through some bad times and... just next time , trust me... ok? I know when it comes to criminals."
Rollie smiles.
"You sure are." He says and hugs Angie.
"Where is Mira?" Angie asks.
"I told the cops there , she got a bullet to her leg. They sent a medic team to take care of her. She`s inside."
Dean and Monica comes near Rollie and Angie.
"Well... I glad its all over." Dean says.
"Me too... but I feel sorry about the cops Lisa killed." Monica says.
"We all are... but the comfort , if there is one , is that we caught Lisa at the end." Angie says.
"Yeah... but still..." Rollie says. Then there is a moment of silence for a few seconds.
"Listen guys, I`m gonna take Monica home. I ow her that after all the great work she did." Dean says.
"Ok , Dean... Thanks. Thank you all for saving me." Rollie says and shakes Dean`s and Monica`s hand.
"Its ok man... well , lets go Monica."
"Bye guys." Monica says and then she and Dean walk to Dean`s van.
Rollie and Angie look as Dean`s van drives away. Then they look at each other and smile.
 
Part 31

Location : Outside the workshop ( The next day ).

Rollie , Angie and Dean stand outside near Dean`s van.
After they talk about the last few days Rollie says : "Well , I`ll leave you two alone. I think you have allot to talk about." Rollie says.
"Thanks man." Dean says.
Rollie smiles and walks inside the workshop.
Dean looks at Angie.
"Well Ange..."
"Well Dean..." Angie says and smiles.
"I really glad you decided to work with Rollie again. I think its for the best."
"Yeah , me too. The last few days with almost getting killed , really taught me something. They taught me that Rollie needs me and I need him but I really feel awful for leaving you and all the work we did together for the movie."
Dean puts his arm on Angie`s shoulder.
"Dont worry. Besides , Steve Knott decided to give me and you a few days off after what happend."
"So what are you going to do?" Angie asks.
"Me? I`m gonna get out of town for a few days to visit my mother. Boy , do I have a story to tell her... but she probably wont belive me anyway."
Angie smiles a small smile.
"She will... dont worry."
"You know Ange... when I was a little kid , I saw all those action movies and I always said to myself 'I wanna be like the hero. The bad guys always shoot on him and he is never scared'... Well , a few days ago when Lisa tried to kill me... I was scared Ange , I was really afraid to die. Am I a coward?"
"No Dean..." Angie says and comes closer to Dean "You are one of the bravest men I have ever knew. You saved me twice from almost getting killed."
Dean smiles.
"Thanks Ange... well , I have to go now. I guess I`ll see you in a few days."
"Bye Dean." Angie says and gives Dean a hug.
Then Dean walks to his van and opens the door. He is about to enter it but then Angie yells "Dean , wait!"
Dean stops and looks at Angie. Angie comes near him , puts her arms arond his neck and slowly moves her face closer to his.
Dean closes his eyes and Angie gives him a small kiss in his mouth. Dean slowly opens his eyes.
"Wow... thanks Angie. What was that for?"
"For being who you are. Good things dont change Dean... Please , dont you ever change."
Dean smiles and says "I wont."
After a second Dean says "You know Ange , I just had a great idea for a television show."
"What?"
"It will be about an FX man called 'Rollie Tyler' and his assistant 'Angela Ramirez'. They will help the police getting bad guys with thier FX stuff like we did."
"Dean..."
"OH! And Cameron Daddo can play Rollie. He is a really good actor and Christina Cox can play 'Angela' , I mean she is perfect for this role. I`ll call this show FX and..."
"DEAN!"
"What??"
"Calm down... Listen , it sounds great but I think that this show won`t last more than two seasons."
"Why?"
"You know how the networks work. They will probably put it in a bad time slot so no one would be able to watch it."
"You probably right... but it was a nice tought. Well , I should be going now. Bye Ange."
"Bye Dean , call me when you get back... maybe we can... you know... go out and do something."
"You`ll be the first one to know." Dean says , smiles and enters his van. He starts the engine and drives away.
Angie crosses her arms and looks at Dean`s van as it drives away. A tear falls out of her eye.
Rollie steps out of the workshop and comes behind Angie. He puts his arms on her shoulder.
"Hi Ange... are you ok?" Rollie asks.
"Yeah , I am." Angie says while looking at the street.
"Dont cry Ange... he said he`s gonna visit his mother and..."
"I know but... Wait a second! How do you know he is going to visit his mother??!?"
"Ia... lucky guess."
"Yeah right!" Angie says and turns around.
"You bugged us Rollie!"
"Now how can I do that ? I was inside the workshop."
"WAF! WAF!" Angie and Rollie hears.
"What was that?" Angie asks and looks at the bushes.
"That?? That was the... ugh... neighbours dog. Damn dog!" Rollie says in a shaky voice.
"WAF! WAF!" They hear again and then Angie sees that Bluey is comming out of the bushes.
"I cant belive it! You used Bluey to bug us! AARRGGHH!!!"
"Now Angie , relax... you know what happens when you are angry."
"That`s why I`m going to count to ten and then I`m gonna hunt you down like a dog." Angie says , seriously.
"But Angie..."
"ONE!!"
"Let me explain."
"TWO!!!"
"Ok , I better go now." Rollie says and runs into the workshop.
"THREE , TEN!!! YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CANT HIDE!" Angie yells and runs after Rollie into the workshop.

THE END.
