charli baltimore

The amnesiac assassin from The Long Kiss Goodnight.

Charly targets the bald guy's head, raises her .45 and fires.

Also:

Nearby a cricket chirps.

Charly absent-mindedly rolls a steak knife in her fingers.

Eyes far away.

It never occurs to her what she's done until the chirping stops.

Ten feet away, the knife quivers.
