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.
