I scarcely have a moment to post of late.

So, I'm just gonna put up a piece of one of the things what I've been writing that's kept me from writing.


• INT. INTERVIEW ROOM
  
  
• There’s a laptop on the table displaying security cam video of the events in the Dunkin Donuts. Danny, however, never takes her eyes off McIRVIN SIMMS, Internal Affairs investigator (30s, rack-bought suit). He pauses the video at the point where we just left off.
  
  
• SIMMS
  
• You just happened to be wearing your kevlar?
  
  
• DANNY
  
• I’m a police, Simms, That’s something we do sometimes. Shouldn’t you know that?
  
  
• SIMMS
  
• A plainclothes? With no bulletins, no departmental order to wear--
  
  
• DANNY
  
• What’s the big complaint when we get ordered to wear the vests?
  
  
• SIMMS
  
• No. This is where I ask and you answer--
  
  
• DANNY
  
• --Just - what is it?
  
  
• SIMMS
  
• Hot. They’re hot.
  
  
• DANNY
  
• What’s the temperature outside?
  
  
• Simms sighs and drops back in his chair.
  
  
• DANNY
  
• Yeah. January in Boston. I get to be warm, look good and be bulletproof all at the same time. Next question?
  
  
• SIMMS
  
• I already asked it. What happened to Gavin Hewson?
  
  
• Danny hits the play button with irritated force.
  
  
• DANNY
  
• Watch it for the 200th time. He came down with an acute case of fire.
