SCENARIO DESCRIPTION '' MARKED TO DIE ''
This action is partly described in the already published novel "Wild Joanna", only now the emphasis here is on other characters. When Brittany comes on a heavenly vacation with her mother and sister, she has no idea how she will become the target of a sect and a group that want her dead. Even when she returns to Chicago, she realizes that she did not escape from her butchers. Investigator Lombardo is working on this case, unaware that he is entering a "long chain" of conspiracies and cases that will eventually (in the last "The Story of the Blue Mummy") become like a puzzle of an international character.

SCENE 1:
(Brittany Delmonde is on the beach looking around. Her voice is heard)

BRITTANY:
Death is a natural process of life. By giving birth, all people receive the solemn privilege of one day being dead
(She looks down the blue sea and then open sea)
My name is Brittany. I've been on vacation with my mom and sister for two weeks now. Beautiful beach, sea, waves, truly heavenly vacation.
(she walks towards the hotel, waves to the waiters)
I grew up and live in Chicago. I graduated and I have a fiancé in Seattle. Him name is Karen. I would like to marry him and have 3-4 children. We never agreed on that. I don't think he really likes children. My sister's name is Tanita. She is in the true style of Jamaica. She has been wearing an afro hairstyle and braids since she was 10 years old. My father's name is Gilbert Delmonde. I haven't heard a word from him in years. He used to write, but the letters have not arrived at all for years. Mom says he’s a commercial traveler, but I’m not sure about that. I'm not even sure he's alive at all. My sister has a big picture of him in her room.

(There should be a scene - memories. Tanita is in her room and shows a picture of Gilbert Delmonde to Brittany and her mother. Tanita laughs)
