THE RHOMBUS
Written by
PHIL MITCHELL
EXT. THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC - JUNGLE - DAY.
THREE MEN DESMOND, SHAWN, AND BILLY (30) wearing JEANS and
SHORTS, TRAINERS, and T-SHIRTS.
Sweating in the heat and humidity of the jungle. Halfway up a
hill, they're looking for a place to bury FOUR BAGS OF UNCUT
STOLEN DIAMONDS.
BILLY
(To the others)
I think this'll be fine. What do
you think?
SHAWN
I don't know, are you sure we'll be
able to find em again?
BILLY
(Pointing downwards)
If we stay in between that curve in
the river down there, and the other
one over there, and we put that
fucking great white-faced mountain
over there in between we won't be
far off.
They are standing next to a LARGE TEN FOOT ROCK.
DESMOND
Plus has anyone noticed this big
fuck off rock that might give us
some kind of a clue?
SHAWN
We could find our way back here in
the dark with that thing.
SHAWN (CONTINUED)
(Then to Desmond)
You alright with that?2.
DESMOND
(He's feeling the heat)
Let's just get rid of this
fucking stone, and get
back to civilization.
BILLY
OK, how about right here? This is
going to be as good a place as any.
You know what I mean?
SHAWN
Right if this is going to be the
place, why don't you two go and
have a swim? Leave it to me.
I'll do the burying.
BILLY
I've got a better idea. Let’s
scratch a heart on the rock.
DESMOND
What?
BILLY
We'll scratch a heart on the rock
with some directions in code.
SHAWN
What sort of code?
BILLY
You'll see.
He scratches a heart on a rock inside he puts the initials:
R.F. (L) F.D.
BILLY
I think that'll do it.
They are now standing at a spot where they are going to bury
the diamonds.
SHAWN3.
Right then are you two going to
fuck off? Just leave me to bury
this shit, I'll be down in a
minute.
DESMOND
(Leaves)
I'm going for a swim. `
BILLY
I'm with you.
BILLY
(To Shawn)
See you in a minute. Make sure you
bury em good and deep.
SHAWN
No prob's.
EXT. WATERFALL - DOMINICAN REPUBLIC - SWIMMING HOLE - DAY.
They splash about for a while and then come together for a
talk.
BILLY
I was thinking about five years.
DESMOND
(Loud, and exasperated)
FIVE?
(BEAT)
Five fucking years, are you having
a laugh? That's a fucking lifetime.
BILLY
You gotta think they won't be
looking for the stuff by then.
(BEAT)
Well not so fiercely. Not so
fiercely as they are now.
SHAWN
At the moment they ain't got a
scooby who done it.
BILLY.
Let's keep it that way. Have a few
drinks, and act like stupid
tourists and leave here clean.
SHAWN
We could make a few trips, take a
few out at a time.
BILLY
It's an idea, we'll have to give it
some thought.
DESMOND
How about we get someone else to do it?

I have just finished reading the Rhombus and found it a real page-turner. The plot was exciting and the characters became my friends. I didn't want the book to end.

Great book with plenty of action with a great story about elephant poachers. Plenty of twists and turns.

With four books finished, I'm now going to work on the movie scripts, and then I will place them into the books as a bonus.
