INT. HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT Harry is hurriedly packing a travel bag that is on his bed, when there is a knock at the door. He pauses and looks at the door, and then at his watch. Before he moves to the door to answer, there is another knock. Harry walks over to the door and checks who it is through the peephole, then he unlocks and opens the door. | |
It is Matias. Harry greets him and returns to packing the bag. HARRY You have never come to where I am, this must be serious! | |
Matias does not respond, but Harry is too busy to notice. | |
HARRY So, what brings you here? | |
Matias again doesn't answer but walks into the room and closes the door behind him. | |
MATIAS John has sent me. | |
Harry swallows hard and sighs. There is a moment of silence between the two as Harry nervously speaks again. | |
HARRY Is it because of the sale I did in Cairo, Egypt? MATIAS (disappointingly) So it's true! You did, do it? | |
Suddenly Harry takes a handgun with a silencer already on it, from the bag that he was packing and turns and points it nonchalantly at Matias. Matias seems unaffected by this threat, and instead asks a question. | |
MATIAS Why dad!? Why did you do it? HARRY The money was good, and I thought I could have disappeared tonight before anything was found out. This was the plan I was talking about, of getting us out and making a new life for ourselves. MATIAS Now you have messed up everything for everybody. Our lives were good just the way they were, and now this. HARRY I'm glad that they sent you after all, so I could tell you that the money will be wired to you if I don't make a withdrawal within the next 4 days. | |
All the while Harry is talking, he has not put the gun down. It is still pointed in the direction of Matias | |
MATIAS Dad! You and I both know it's not about the money!! MATIAS (changes tone) What are you planning to do with that gun in your hand? HARRY Don't worry, I'm not going to shoot you. Harry sighs and reasons out loud to himself. HARRY Even if I get away from you now, someone else would get me before I make it to the airport. The secret's out and they will stop at nothing till I'm dead. (pauses) Here! You take it. | |
There is silence in the room. Harry shrugs his shoulders, and speaks again. Harry turns the handle of the gun to Matias and Matias takes it. | |
HARRY Please, make it quick. HARRY Well, what are you waiting-? | |
Before he can finish the question, Matias delivers a single fatal shot into Harry's chest. Harry falls backwards into the bed, holding his chest | |
HARRY This was not qui... | |
Matias pulls a shirt out of the open bag and wipes the gun; then he wraps Harry's hand and fingers around the handle and trigger. |
This blog was created to preserve a little part of Jamaica's culture. Too many jokes and interesting things about the Island get forgotten just because there wasn't an archive of them. This blog allows me to archive all these jokes and interesting things so that they will never be forgotten. I will write about what I know and believe, but I need all the help I can get.
