Lora plants another kiss on him and walks seductively toward her door. As she moves toward the door, Adrian notices movement between cars. He dives for her and pulls her to the ground just as shots ring out, piercing the door. He kicks the door open, but pulls her into the bushes beside the porch. After a moment, two men dressed in camouflage clothing run in the dark door opening carrying guns.LORA(Teasing)Can't come inside. My roommates' in Lora runs quickly to the end of the building. Adrian starts his cycle and the two men are immediately out the door. Adrian races zig-zag down the street in a hail of bullets, crouched low, using parked cars for cover.

RIVERBOAT - NIGHT Two men, BORDEN and another mercenary type in diving gear, dive from a cabin cruiser on the river. They carry transceivers and the men on the cruiser watch through binoculars and let the divers know when it is safe to board. They board the boat from the water and check Adrian's cabin. They wait. Adrian and Dino sneak aboard the boat. At a passage corner, Dino waits while Adrian sneaks to their cabin door. He sees the telltale piece of paper on the floor and goes back to Dino. Adrian sees the cruiser anchored on the river. He and Dino go to their prop room in the hold. Adrian takes Dino's remote control and turns the hotbed heater unit on. Dino launches the shadow hawk from the upper level, with Adrian watching the monitor and operating the controls from their prop room. They gas the cabin cruiser and watch the men slump down. Adrian glides the plane back to them, brings it to a near hover and Dino catches it in a net. Adrian and Dino approach their cabin carrying equipment. They remove their shoes and tiptoe for the last twenty feet. They stand a powerful light on a head height stand in front of the door. Dino stands to one side of the door with the light switch in hand. Adrian crouches down, quickly opens the door slightly, reaches around the frame and turns the lights off. Two bullets immediately pierce the metal door. Adrian kicks the door open and somersaults in. Dino turns on the blindingly powerful light which strobes about every two seconds. Inside Adrian stays low on the floor, close to the wall and furniture, moving when the light is off. He pulls a body bag over one man's head and cinches it below his waste. Borden almost catches him with his gun sight, but Adrian moves. Adrian runs across the hotbed, the STROBE catches him mid-bed. Borden follows. SOUNDS OF SLIPPING AND FALLING. After a moment. LIGHT STROBES showing Adrian behind Borden, removing his gun from his hand. The lights go on. Adrian handcuffs Borden. Borden tries to raise his feet, but they are stuck to the carpet.Shit!

RIVER - NIGHTIt's at thirteen hundred degrees. How didDINO Adrian, in a wet suit, guides a motor boat to the cabin cruiser and boards it. The men on board are in a happy daze. Adrian pulls the motorboat to within a hundred feet upstream of the riverboat. He waits for the watchman to pass on his twenty minute round, then slips over the side and swims to the riverboat. He releases the starboard entrance rope. He enters his cabin and fastens the end of a rope to the two men and unfastens their leg chains, then swims back while Dino watches the two. Adrian brings the boat to within fifty feet of the riverboat, with the speedboat alongside, and Dino throws him the line, which is attached to the two men. Adrian tugs the two men through the water to the boat. He puts them with the other two men on the cruiser who are now sober but still tied up.Hi, guys.

She sees the men tied up and recognizes Adrian. She goes back in the pilot house and starts to dial the phone.
