 & non-secret sustainable

blue collar criminal with a

Billy (Bob) Abercrombie:
Tall pudgey white 29yr

business owner who's 
residential electrician &

Sam Dunluth:
A 15yr old black teen
with a decent home life
(2 parents still married who both
 care about their children)
& hasn't previously committed
 or tried to commit any serious 
crimes.



George & Bob
meet accidentally 
at Bob's music &
car audio system
store a few blocks
away from Mustafa's
big house on the 
same ledge that's right 
behind Bob's store
which is probably also
Bob's house even though it's 
illegal to live in
an area zoned for stores.

Mustafa has been granted a
city zoning exception for
his special property that
includes the partially
underground sustainable
apartment complex built
into the ledge/small cliff
running through his property.


George & Bob
devise a plot to Kidnap
a random black boy, force
him to help fake a hate crime
against Bob's business,
& frame him for the massive
robbery they intend to
commit against Mustafa.


George has a Mexican gang
friend who's Mom
works as a cleaning lady
for Mustafa & she accidentally
leaked the existence of
the gold horde to her
son who shared it with 
George in exchange for a
little money.


Sam just happens
to be in the wrong 
place @ the wrong
time on the day
of the planned
crimes which makes
it easy for George & Bob
to kidnap him.


After the staged "hate crime
break in robbery" at Bob's
store, the criminals
go to Mustafa's
house,
dragging Sam along with them
 & sneak in through
the servants entrance
to the back garden & in
the back door while
Mustafa is at work for
the day attending several
board meetings in
an office complex
of companies
which he owns more than 10%
of.


The criminals almost get
away with it without a hitch
BUT Mustafa gets home unexpectedly early from work
& walks in his front door
 to the sight of the 
Oriental rug moved off of the
secret trap door to
the gold horde & the door
open as George, Sam, & Bob
are making their
way up the 1308 stairs to
the trap door.

Hearing voices coming from 
inside his
secret personal space,
Mustafa draws his handheld
revolver & creeps down the stairs.

Bob is in front, already sweating nervously,
he's the 1st to see the shadow of the
 man of the house creaping dowm
the stairs toward them.

"We're about to be discovered . ! "
Bob whispwers loudly.

"Who goes there?!"
Mustafa says loudly & sternly.

Sam is internally panicking, he wants to
cry out for help, to be freed from his
captors, but at the same time he doesn't
 want to be cought commiting an armed robbery,
his 1st felony conviction, (George has a gun)

 ~~~
George gives the gun to Bob, saying in a wisper
"Back down. Quickly"
As they re enter the gaint stairs-landing
climbing-break room with it weird
angular geomitry & multiple artifical
pyramid shaped stallah tights & mights,
the largest 2 slightly misaligned & almost
touching near the center of the room.

George directs his gang to hide with him in
a large rectangular divot in the floor
behind some cubes protruding from the floor,
next to the stairs down to the hord room

George pulls a gold coin out of his pocket
& hurls it down the stairs & says in a
wisper
"As soon as he's a little ways down,
we bolt for the stairs out of here &
lock the trap door behind us to slow
him"

The 3 hear Mustafa's footsteps coming
closer, hard men's dress shoes on
the stone & concrete floor.

Sam thinking about the near future,
(George tipping off the police about
the "suspect" Sam "seen" running
down the sidewalk by the cliffside away
from the direction of Mustafa's house
"alone" with a gun & a bag full of
something very heavy),

gasps out "Auh ! " loudly.

"**** !"  "why you little **** you're gonna
get us all killed!!"
Yells George angrily,
jumping to his feet & pulling Bob
with him,

Sam runs toward Mustafa for help
but Mustafa having no clue of
the details of the robbery
says "Come no closer or I'll shoot."

Sam puts his hands up & falteringly
steps backwards towards Bob,
who is still holding George's gun.

Mustafa says to Bob while pointing his
gun at him: " Put the gun on the ground in
front of you, NOW."

Bob whines " ok " & begins
lowering the gun,

But George says, "No, you idiot! "
& Tries to grab the gun out of Bob's trembling
right hand.

Mustafa Shoots Bob in the left shoulder,
Bob accidentally fires the gun at the ground
& Mustafa shoots again aiming for George's
head but George ducked when he saw
Mustafa rotate the revolver in his
direction.

[ Some of This part below still applies, but
maybe change to they force Sam to
go ahead of them up the stairs the
whole way, & Sam is the only 1
Mustafa sees ]

Panking for his freedom and now for
his life as well, Sam grabs Bob's sweaty
hand & fires the gun in Mustafa's
direction, hitting him in
the chest below the heart.

Mustafa falls limply forward onto
his knees dazed & dizzy from
sudden blood pressure drop,
& then falls dying flat on his face
his blood slowly pooling on
the floor around his wound.

The 3 crimunals flee up the stairs
& out of Mustafa's house & get in
Bob's van, George driving,
tires squeeling & 

head for the west bound freeway
out of town.

*That didn't happen, that didn't happen*
Sam thought to himself traumatized & still
panicking, that final gunshot still echoing
in his ears,
in the mid section of
Bob's van where there are no
windows.


Hours later when George stops for
gasoline, & to steel a liscense
plate for cover at a tiny convienence
store far outside of town,

Sam takes the cookie of oppurtunity by
opening the passanger side door from
behind the seat & pushing surprised
Bob out onto the ground, closing the door
& locking it behind him while
George is still putting the
newly stolen liscense plate on
that he switched out from
another white van at the gas
station.

Sam drives away, not too quickly, following
all driving laws he knows so as
not to draw suspucion from any
onlookers, leaving his
abductors behind.


Sam drives west all night, lost in thought,
& in the morning he stops at a payphone
& calls his hometown police department
to report the murdur-robbery
& frame his kidnappers for the murder.

It's his word against theirs,
& since he's a black kid,
his testomony holds up in court
& he gets away with no charges
filed against him because he was kidnapped
& forced to help with robbery,
& it was believed, also forced to
be an accomplice to murder.



Years later Bob died in prison, George
lingers there bitter & harsh,

Sam is a kind, successful office manager
& church deacon who on the outside,
is a good person, but on the inside,
he is overflowing with guilt, fear,
& self-hatred.

Eventually Sam now a grandfather turns himself in to the
police & goes to prison for a few years, horrifing his
family who never new he had lied about the murder, but
gets out for good behavior.

Sam visits George in prison & tells him
he is forgiven & asks him to repent
& find God, but George refuses & remains
the same as he has been most of his adult
life.

Now fired & a felon, Sam spends his final years of
life doing menial manual labor jobs & praying
for forgiveness, he dies a sad old man at
 93 years old.




'What causes fights and quarrels among you?
 Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?
 You desire but do not have, so you kill.
 You covet but you cannot get what you want,
 so you quarrel and fight.'
 - James 4:1-2
