CHAPTER 19
EXT. FOREST - DAY
A quiet forest, tranquil, a squirrel scurries into view with an acorn. He quickly runs at the sound of footsteps. Three men cross the screen, carrying a body wrapped in a carpet. One is a handsome man, barely putting any effort into carrying the body, this is Glenn. The shorter in the middle putting all of his effort into it is wearing a hooded sweater over his suit, this is Chuck Day. In the rear holding up the feet is a well-dressed gentleman with slicked-back hair and a nice suit, his name is Robby Mac.
They reach a hole that's already been dug before their arrival. They drop the body in the hole.
GLENN
So, Chuck. Why exactly did you tell Roland you needed three guys for this?
CHUCK
I don't know, I just thought since we haven't seen each other in a while I'd get this little thing together. Thought we could hang out.
GLENN
That is literally the dumbest idea I've ever heard.
CHUCK
What do you mean? I mean, we can dump a guy in a hole, fill the hole up, I got some beers in a hollow tree a couple feet away. Just thought we could have a good time.
GLENN
If you wanted to hang out why didn't you just call us and ask? Don't bring 3 people out for a one man job. I had shit to do, Chuck.
CHUCK
Well, sooory, Glenn!
ROBBY
I didn't have anything to do, I kind of liked the idea. It's what we always talked about in high school. Getting jobs where we would together.
CHUCK
Thank you, Robby.
GLENN
This isn't Little Caesar's, Robby. This is very important life or death shit and I don't think we should be goofing off while we're on the job.
ROBBY
Life or death? It's not like we snuff people out for Roland, Glenn. We just dump the shitbags and clean his gutters and shit.
CHUCK
See, Glenn. Just relax and have a beer. I'll go get them out of the hollow tree and we'll bury this sucker, it'll be greaaaaat.
Chuck starts to walk away. He can be seen in the background trying to recall which tree he put the beer in.
ROBBY
Why are you giving Chuck such a hard time?
GLENN
I'm sorry I'm taking my job seriously.
ROBBY
Why do you think this job-
CHUCK (shouting from background)
I had the wrong tree! It's the one over here!
ROBBY (Cont'd.)
Why do you think this job is something important? It's just grunt work for a couple bucks and some nice suits.
A black blur quickly jumps into frame, picks up the shovel and buries it into Glenn's chest, he drops to the ground, dead. Robby turns to run but Renegade grabs him by the shoulder and turns him around before punching him full-force, he smashes into a tree, the sound of his bones cracking echoes through the woods. Chuck comes running back holding the six-pack. He stops in his tracks when he sees Renegade standing by Glenn's body. Renegade draws a 9mm from his coat and blasts a bullet right at Chuck. In a panic he puts the six-pack in front of his face, the bullet flies directly through it, getting him exactly between the eyes. The cans spray beer all over the body.
Renegade approaches Robby, who is moaning quietly. He has a large open wound on his forehead, his legs are mangled and his left eye is swollen. Renegade stands over him then crouches in front of him.
RENEGADE
What's your name?
ROBBY
Robby... Robby Mac.
RENEGADE
I don't recognize your name. You must be low rank. Who were the other two?
ROBBY
Chuck Day and Glenn Howard.
RENEGADE
All three of you are low ranks. Must not be somebody with a lot of friends you were burying.
ROBBY
It wasn't. Just a guy who took out a loan he couldn't pay back. He didn't live with anybody. He didn't work. He was a druggy.
RENEGADE
A druggy? Then he deserved it.
ROBBY
Yeah! Yeah! He deserved it, so you'll let me go?
RENEGADE
Why would I let you go?
ROBBY
Because, all I was doing was dumping a druggy! I didn't even kill him.
RENEGADE
Still, with mob affiliations how could I let you go?
ROBBY
Because you can't kill me, that's worse than what I did. Why should you get away with it if you're going to kill me.
RENEGADE
Because I am justice.
Renegade kicks Robby in the face, splattering his brains, skull, and blood over the back of tree. He grabs Robby's shoulder and drags him to the hole and throws him in with the body of the druggy. He throws the bodies of Chuck and Glenn on top.
