An Excerpt from Hit and Miss
Owen looks to a black notebook laying on the table in front of Jake. OWEN JAKE OWEN Owen mashes out his cigarette, and nods to the notebook. OWEN (CONT'D) JAKE OWEN Owen looks smug. He pulls a handgun from underneath the table and lays it on top, pointed in Jake's direction. Jake eyes the notebook, looking nervous. OWEN (CONT'D) JAKE OWEN Owen lays both his palms face down on the table, his right hand next to the gun. OWEN (CONT'D) Jake nods, raising his hands. Owen nods back. Jake picks up the notebook and raises his hands again, the fingers of his right hand wrapped firmly around it. JAKE OWEN Somewhere outside there is yelling, and Owen looks past Jake in that direction. Taking advantage of the moment, Jake stands, kicking the chair out from underneath him, and brings the notebook down hard on the hand of Owen's closest to the gun. Then he smashes the notebook cradled in his palm into Owen's face and picks up the gun with his free hand. Blood is running down Owen's face from his nose. Jake points the gun at Owen, looking like he's done it before. JAKE Owen coughs, his eyes wide like he might make a move. OWEN JAKE OWEN Jake opens his mouth to answer, but a red laser pointer dot appears on the side of Owen's head. Before Jake can get a word out, the window shatters... JAKE ...and a bullet hole opens in Owen's skull, blood trickling out. Jake backs against the kitchen counter, away from the busted out window, a look of fear on his face. |
