INT. HUSH-HUSH MAGAZINE OFFICE - DAY<br />

Sid Hudgeons sits behind his desk, answers the phone.<br />

HUDGEONS<br />

Hush-Hush. Off the record and on<br />

the Q.T.<br />

JACK (V.O.)<br />

Sid, it's Vincennes.<br />

HUDGEONS<br />

Jackie, are you back on Narco? I<br />

need copy.<br />

INTERCUT WITH Jack at his desk:<br />

JACK<br />

No. But I've got something going<br />

Hudgeons reaches into a stack of papers, pulls out a<br />

I'll talk to you later. Call me<br />

when you get something I can use.<br />

Smut's from hunger. For sad sacks<br />

who can't get their ashes hauled<br />

The LINE CLICKS off. Jack hesitates a moment before<br />

cradling the receiver. Something's not right here.<br />
