The Great Masquerade Page #3

---

chief sponsors of the ball.

Now despite his benevolent exterior,

he's a notorious playboy, has

been for a long time.

Now it's known, that he

propositioned the three dead girls

and that all three

rejected his advances.

This is Vito Vito and his

bodyguard Paco the Paranoid,

known underworld figures,

who've built a local empire

smuggling cocaine and heroine.

And this is Vito's sister Rita.

Now Rita has been trying to enter

the Artisan Models Beauty Ball

Contest for three years,

and every year she's been rejected.

Now we know that Vito does not want

her to enter the contest

but what we don't know is why.

- Doesn't seem like we have very

much to go on does it?

- The main question is,

why would Gates, or Paco, or Vito

kill the beauty contestants?

- That's what you'll

have to find out.

Remember Paco is the one to watch.

He didn't earn his nickname Paco the

Paranoid for nothing.

He's takes exception to every

side long glance.

Even harmless remarks.

He's been known to assault people

who ask him for directions.

- Any questions?

- Yeah.

What do I do while he's learning

how to act like lady?

- You'll be bugging the

apartments of

Sherwood Gates and Vito Vito.

- But Chief

that's such a drag.

- I'm up for a promotion.

You know what that means?

- It means we can get married?

- Right.

Except that before I get

the promotion,

I have this little assignment.

It's just a little undercover

work that I have to do.

It'll take a couple of weeks and uh

during that time I won't be able to

write you or phone you

but I want you to know

you'll be in my thoughts

the whole time.

And after the assignment, when I

get the promotion,

well,

look out baby.

Why are ya looking at me like that?

- Like what?

- You have a kind of suspicious

look around your eyes.

- Oh I'm not suspicious Dave.

I trust you.

I understand about your work.

I know you have to go away

for weeks at a time.

I know you can't write or phone.

I know you're involved in

dangerous assignments

that could cost you your life.

I understand all that.

I'm not suspicious.

There's only one thing I wanna know.

- What?

- Who is she?

- Lesson number one,

you must regard yourself

as a creation.

Not a freak, to be a good

female impersonator.

Creation begins with mist

and ends with mass,

the intangible given a name.

What will your name be Dave?

- How about Gertrude?

- How about Faith?

- l'll buy it.

- Faith Cummings.

- Not bad.

- Then you must think

Faith Cummings.

Eat Faith Cummings.

Breathe Faith Cummings.

Sleep Faith Cummings.

And most importantly you must

believe Faith Cummings.

Can you believe?

- I think so.

- Then you've got the Faith.
