Tires SCREECH outside. Dude 2 stands up. There's a small crash outside. Yelling
VOICE: FREEZE!
GUNSHOTS
The Boy and Dude 2 look at each other
Dude 1 kicks open the door. He starts firing. Dude 2 falls. A mist of red puff spurts from his chest. He's screaming
Dude 1 turns to The Boy and sho
(INHALE)
Uts “BANG!” He lols and walks over to Dude 2
Dude 1: f** you Ryan
He shoots Ryan (Dude 2) in the back. Ryan doesn't move anymore
He looks at The Boy
Dude 1: Walk to the statue
The Boy walks through the house in shock. He's lost in his mind. While walking he kicks over a wine gla** half emptied with Pelegrino. It clinks and pours out into the living room, flooding a spider's web along the way
He notices all the dishes left dirty, lights left on, and doors left open. It's a temple. Desecrated. Nothing has a purpose anymore. He wonders what the first person to find his body would think. They would probably think he was the villain. This was his formal surrender to venom. In a way, they wouldn't be wrong
*I hope you understand*
Dude 1: Kneel down
The Boy sits on his knees in front of his best friend
The Boy can see Ryan's body lying on the floor. His blood slowly pools. The Pelegrino trickles into the pool, tracing the path of least resistance. The boy notices Ryan's clothes. They look kind of messy, but cool
*Be still now*
The Boy's phone rings. Dude 1 answers
*As I travel on*
(Woman's Voice on the phone)
Who is this?
(Dude 1)
It's Carlo. The suicide plan got f**ed. Now we've got two dead cops along with Ryan, Donnie, and Roscoe. I've got everything he had but it doesn't even begin to cover what he owed. I'm taking care of the kid right now and then we can start on his contact list
*I'm not afraid of him*
(Voice on phone)
Very well
*I'm not afraid of him*
