Dialogue (V.O.)First Scene- Pulling up to Joe’s House I pulled up to Joe’s house at a quarter past midnight. The cool night air was stinging my lungs. This was the moment I would take my revenge. This was the moment I would take the life of the man who killed me 18 hours ago.  (V.O.)Second Scene- Waking up and finding syringe It all started when I woke up and saw the syringe lying across from me. Just then pain shot through my arm. I looked down and saw the wound. What was injected into me? (V.O.)Third Scene- Running into bathroom I staggered into the bathroom reeling from what was put in my system. Who did this? How? Why? My breathing became exaggerated. I was counting how many breaths I took. Not knowing if I was running out.  (V.O.)Fourth Scene-Sitting On Couch in living room An average citizen would have run out their door and drove to the hospital to find a cure. A normal person would have run to their family for one last goodbye. I wasn’t exactly normal. I understood that when the type of people I worked with wanted someone dead, they were dead. They would find you wherever you decided to hide; especially hospitals. I was a dead man; I just was lucky enough to know it beforehand. I had only one thing in my mind- revenge.  (V.O.)Fifth Scene- Grabbing keys and driving to Dennis The first person I thought of to go to for information was Sam. Sam was the bottom feeder of the family syndicate. She was assigned all the dirty jobs no one else wanted, and he loved to eavesdrop. She would know who the players were. (V.O.)Sixth Scene- Walking out of the alley It took half my savings to get the information out of Sam. Not that money mattered anymore. She said that I had been poisoned. She told me I could find the man who sold the poison to my killer later that night across town. She meets friends at the same place for dinner every weeknight.  (V.O.)Seventh Scene- Sitting in living Room You would think a dead man would have more important things to do than wait around for his killer. When you have no family, no one to care for you, no one to know if your alive or dead…. you begin to understand why. -My mother died after giving birth to me, and my father probably doesn’t know he even has a son. I was lost as a child, in and out of foster homes constantly. No body wanted to deal with a delinquent child. I would be sent back to the orphanage for the process to start over again. The only thing I owned was a ball I played with everyday. I eventually ran away from that damn orphanage and joined the family. The family gave me a name, a gun, and a purpose.  (V.O.)Eighth Scene- Waiting in car for man to go inside I waited in my car until I saw him pull into the parking lot and head into the restaurant. He looked at me with surprise when he saw me waiting. He knew who I was, He gave up the name of who bought the poison easy enough. The Name of the person was harder to swallow.  (V.O.)Ninth Scene- Flashback to Joes House About five years ago I pulled up to my old partners house looking for some help. I got into some bad trouble gambling and needed some money to win big to clear my debt. Joe didn’t like it, desperation won out and I pulled a gun on him. He didn’t like that either. I knew he would warn Joe that I was coming. I had to kill him. It was the only way to make sure I would get my revenge. (V.O.)Tenth Scene- Back to Car Scene He managed to stab me before I shot him. I staggered out of the car. The knife wound throbbing with my heart beat. My energy sapped from my body. I can’t die yet I can’t die yet. I have to get to Joe’s house. (V.O.)Eleventh Scene- Pulling up to Joes House I pulled up to Joe’s house at a quarter past midnight. The cool night air was stinging my lungs. My warm, slick blood running out of my side. My hands are beginning to shake. Only have moments left. (V.O.)Twelfth Scene- The encounter The door was open. I slowly made my way in keeping quiet. Joe was already waiting for me in the living room. I had no way of reaching my gun before he could fire. I made my way to the chair and fell into it. I had to get him talking so I could find an opening.
