Some more story beat ideas

I don't know if anyone will read this in time, but I'll throw out some more story beat ideas if anyone still needs one.

• The scene I'm thinking of doing: Tom is captured by Paladin and other henchmen,. Tom is tied to a chair in a dark room with a spotlight overhead, and the henchmen are standing around him with guns and switchblades.
• From the chair scene, Tom gets rescued somehow? Or he fights his way out?
• In the hotel murder scene, maybe a hotel maid sees Tom near the body and calls the police
• The part when Paladin looks at Tom and quickly escapes out the window
• One of the hero characters gets shot and killed
• The first time Tom sees the Dame, she is singing at the nightclub
• Tom runs through the streets to get away from cops
• Generic gun battles and fist fights
• Mr. Knickerbocker steps out of his car, and we see his face for the first time in the story
