THE FIRE IS NOW ON AN OVERHEAD TV NEWSCAST -
AMBULANCE LIGHTS ARE On the Seven O'clock Local
News. We watch earlier events as REPORTERS follow
Bud being removed from his house by ambulance
attendants.
TV NEWSCASTER: A Glen Ridge man was shot in his
own living room this afternoon by heavily armed men
who later abducted another unidentified man along with
his vehicle.
A SMALL COLORED BALL is tossed up in front of the
plasma screen.
WE ARE: IN ST. CLEMENTS HOSPITAL ROOM - NIGHT
The ball is being tossed by DETECTIVE FRANK
ZABRINSKI of the Philadelphia Police. Watching TV from
his hospital bed, Frank is performing a one-ball juggling
act to strengthen his already muscular arm, ignoring the
intravenous needle entering his vein as he uses his wrist
to toss the ball to the ceiling and back.
Veteran Officer Frank was due for retirement, but getting
rudely shot in his last tour has changed his mind. -- Oops,
he misses the ball, and it bounces off the bed onto the
floor.
