, Rick J. Jordan
, and Michael Simon escorting Antonella Ruggiero
into an opera house
, wearing full formal outfits. They enter through a storm of paparazzi
and reporters. Jordan and Simon appear to be securing the premises, as Baxxter goes to a balcony seat. Ruggiero portrays an operatic singer, and she prepares for a large show before a mirror. Jordan spots an attractive woman climbing the stairs, and doesn't give it a second thought. Ruggiero exits out on the stage, and sings for a full house. Baxxter, Jordan, and Simon watch the show, and they notice an assassin
(who is in fact the woman Jordan spotted earlier) poking a high precision rifle
(the rifle is a .177 12 multi-shot CO2 air rifle) through the curtains on the floor above them. Jordan and Simon run up the stairs to apprehend the shooter, while Baxxter throws himself off the balcony in a failed attempt to take the bullet for Ruggiero. The bullet is fired, and Ruggiero dies in Baxxter's arms at the end of the video, as they escape the opera house.
