Ivy carries Georgia in his arms and leaves the Nomad Hotel. Cops are everywhere, coming into the hotel.

PART 1

Georgia- Ugh.... We gotta get our asses outta here and find a place where I can get some rest-[touching her stomach]...hell man, that shit hurts so bad!

Ivy- No worries, let me get you in my car so we can go away.

Georgia- Hey man.... I musta say thank you for what you're doin' right now...You could have just abandoned right here.... You don't even know me....

Ivy- It's not because I am also a killer that I am ungrateful..you saved my life... Do you trust in loyalty? 'Coz I do...even though I almost got killed for this...

Georgia- [ sarcastic tone] Ain't you one of these men who can't stand to owe somebody somethin'? I may be right on this

Ivy- [laughing] You know what? I'm really starting to like you, but don't bullshit me okay?

Georgia- [smiling] Sure, you're the boss...at least for now


They arrive near a Cadillac, Ivy opens the door and lays Georgia on the back seats, then gets the car ready to drive.

Georgia- Before we go away, I have to tell ya that I wasn't alone in that hotel, I was with my partner, and we were planning to kill Israel. When I was pretending to be a whore that Israel asked for, she was supposed to shoot anybody that will stand against our mission....but during it, something fucked up and I dunno where she is or if she's even alive....

Ivy- She? You mean you were with another girl?

Georgia-[suffering and lookin' desperate] That's it.....and well..I cannot picture myself leaving here without knowing if she's still alive...she might be still alive....I hope she is...

Ivy- 'Dunno what you wanna do or what do you expect from me but you cannot go anywhere since you're in no fit state to move...you're loosing too much blood for now and I don't think you are planning to end your days in that mess. Imma take you to my hideout which is not that far from here, then when you'll get better, you can go and look for your partner.

Ivy starts the car and drives away toward the freeway. He is thinking about his situation and what he went through lately with Israel. He's mad and still shocked that Israel dared to trick him that way and Ivy, promised himself to never serve somebody else like he did.

Georgia- [after a long time of silence] Will you ever tell me where we are going...where's this hideout?
Ivy- [smiling]You sound suspicious Beautiful, 'told you it wasn't far from here so chill out. I'm sure you never entrusted somebody with your life....except maybe with that girl

Georgia-[upset] Hey you! Don't even mention Sharice,okay? Just drives us to that damn-secret-hideout and shut the fuck up... as you can notice, I'm not in a good mood!

Ivy- [laughing one more time] Calm down baby...[smiling now] By the way, I go by the name of Ivy...


PART 2

The scene takes place in the Nomad Hotel. Georgia's partner, Sharice, is finally not dead, she managed to run away from the cop's trap. She is, now, leaving the hotel room where she settled for the ambush and is going toward the parking lot. There, she faces an unexpected encounter.

Sharice-[pointing her gun at a man with cutted fingers] Hey, you! Drop your gun! Now!

Man- Calm down! What's the problem?

Sharice- Who are you? You a cop? Why 'you here?

Man- Nah... I was here to kill that son of bitch [looking at one of the Tremor Brothers, Mustache], I have nothin' to do with cops....my name's Hollis.

Sharice- What the f... is this man Israel?

Hollis- Israel? No! Only a guy who tried to fuck with me...but I made him pay back...

Sharice- so you know Israel?

Hollis- Kinda...I was supposed to kill him today, but it seems it didn't work out for both of us...

Sharice- Who told you I wanted to kill him? I never said that!

Hollis- Only few hitmen and killers knew he was here...but nevermind, can you put your gun down now?

Sharice-[shouting] I give the orders! Now get in your car!

They both get in the car.

Sharice-[pointing her gun at Hollis's head] Now I'm gonna ask you some questions, and no need to tell that you better say the truth. Have you seen a girl dressing like a hoe with a black bald man leaving the hotel?

Hollis- NO!!!!!!

Sharice- [yelling] YOU SURE????

Hollis- I swear I have not! But Israel's got a bodyguard, he's called Ivy, and he matches the description...

Sharice- How you know his name?

Hollis- My contact who supplied me the contract for Israel's dead....I can drive you in his hideout...my contact told me where they could hide if they succeeded to leave the hotel.

Sharice- 'Aight! Hope you didn't lie, now drive me there!

Hollis lied to Sharice and he is planing to leave her in the forest where the old lady and her grandson gave shelter to him.


PART 3

Ivy and Georgia reached a forest where a household is located. The place looks very isolated and quiet.

Ivy- It's here. Nobody knows that place, as you can see there is no crowd here.

Georgia- Don't tell me you live in that hud?

Ivy- Not really, it's not my own place. The old lady who lives here helped me a while ago when I was not working for Israel, and now I hope she'll do it one more time.

Georgia- 'Gotcha...

Ivy knocks at the door and an old lady opens it. She looks very happy and suprised to see him here. Ivy explains what is going on and woman let Ivy comes into the house with Georgia.

Old lady- It's been so long Ivy! And who's that girl, your girlfriend?

Ivy- Nahhh.... she's...um..she's a friend and she is needing some treatments.

Old lady- Oh let me see that...Oh Gosh!!! What happened?[ help Georgia to sit on the sofa]

Georgia- Something bad happened between cops and I, but it's not really serious...I'm sure I'll be better soon. I appreciate what you're doin' for me.

Old lady- It's all good, I don't have that much people with me, only my grandson...

Georgia- Oh really? Where is he?

Old lady-[giggling] He is in the forest, probably fooling around....

Goergia is taking some rest with Ivy while the old lady is sleeping. Suddently the sound of a car is getting closer and closer.... Sharice is staying in the car, waiting for Hollis to tell her to come with him. Ivy was under the shower and didn't hear Hollis in the house, Georgia was sleeping and so is the old lady.
Hollis, with his gun in hands, check the first room, the living-room....nobody.Next, he gets in the bathroom...

Ivy- [under the shower] That's you Georgia?

Hollis-.....

Ivy- Who's there? [ get out the shower]

Hollis- [thinking for himself] oh man, he was really here!!! I have to shoot him down now, I have no choice...[at Ivy] You're Ivy right?

Ivy- But who are you???? And how you know who I am?

Hollis- Then, I am sorry for you [Gunshot]


The gunshot woke Georgia and the old lady up. Sharice is rushing into the bathroom.

Old lady- What's that?

Georgia- Stay here, Imma see what it was...

In the bathroom...

Sharice- Damn' why did you kill him? I wanted to ask him questions, you stupid ass!

Hollis- That was him or me!

Georgia comes up in the bathroom...

Georgia- Sharice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whatcha doin' here???? How did you know I was in that house? And..................oh man!!!! Ivy!!!!!!!!!!! [looking the blood on the floor]

Sharice- Georgia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This guy told me you might be here with that man, and he killed him, we went to save you. How are y....

Georgia shoot Hollis down.

Georgia- Fuck you!!! He was the one who saved my life! [crying now]

Sharice- Why did you do that? You crazy or what? He was one of Israel's men!

Georgia- Maybe he was, but he saved my life!!!!

Sharice- [ trying to calm Georgia down] okay, well let's see....we cannot do anything more now, we have to leave that damn' house... I didn't know who he was....

Georgia- He saved my life and then he got killed for me!

The old lady is coming up in her turn.

Old lady- AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! WHAT HAPPENED IN MY HOUSE?!

Sharice- [at the old lady] you shut the fuck up now!!!! [at Georgia] we gotta move now!

Georgia and Sharice leaves the house while the old lady is screaming on Ivy's corpse.... They get in the car and leave all this mess that was supposed to be only a regular mission...
