****************
EXT.
COMMUNITY CENTER PARKING LOT-NIGHT
Linda Jenkins
and Edie Jerome talk as they exit the building. They huddle together as
they walk through the parking lot.
LINDA
Girl, we're
sounding pretty good.
EDIE
No thanks to
that microphone hog,
Esther. She thinks she's something
else when she ain't nothing but a
talentless diva.
LINDA
Now, Edie-
EDIE
I'm not
saying anything that ain't
the truth, Sister Jenkins. Her
caterwauling don't praise or please
the Lord none.
LINDA
(laughing)
Sister, if
you can't say nothing
nice-
EDIE
Calling that
unholy woman a diva is
being nice.
LINDA
(laughing)
Edie, you
need to stop.
The two
women approach a car. Linda waits on the passenger side as Edie walks
around to the driver's side.
EDIE
I'll stop
when someone sits that
busybody down
and- Oh, my dear Lord!
Edie jumps
back in shock, her eyes wide as she looks at something on the ground.
Linda hurries around to her side.
LINDA
Sister, what
is it!
Linda
gasps as she sees thirty-two-year-old Carrie McDonald sprawled against
the wall next to the car, a bullet hole in her chest.
