Paul rushed over to Jennifer.
Nick, not knowing that Paul had went to Jennifer, kept walking towards
where the bullet should be. Suddenly, he kicked something. It was the
bullet! He just cleanly shot one to get him away from Jennifer!
Nick ran back to where Jennifer laid, and stop. There Paul was, right
where he was.
"What did you do that for?" Nick asked.
"Got you away from her, didn't it?" Paul asked.
Nick gave him a disgusted look.
"How could you?" Nick asked.
"I told you. This is my world. I like my world. I am proud of my world.
You should join my world. It's...what's the cool word? 'Da bomb'?" Paul
said.
"Well, I'm 'Da Bone'," AJ said, having a knife in one hand, and a rifle in
his other. "And I say, 'Let her go'."
"I say, where'd you get those?" Nick asked.
"No time to explain." Brian said, showing up with some sort of butcher
knife.
"Nope, none." Howie said, walking out with a large, almost too big, gun.
Paul looked at them, his jaw as far down as possible.
"Nick?" Jennifer asked, becoming concious.
"Jennifer..." Nick said, walking towards her.
"Not so fast, bucko." Paul said, pulling his gun back out.
"Nick!" AJ screamed, making Nick turn. "Catch." AJ threw him the rifle.
"Go." Nick said, pointing at Paul.
There, they both stood, no one moving.
"Nick..." Jennifer whailed.
"Shoot!" Brian said.
"No!" Nick screamed.
"No! Not you! Jessica!" Brian said.
"What about Jessica? Is she here, too?" Howie asked.
"No! We had a date for tonight! She's going to be P.O.'d that I am
late..." Brian said, looking at his watch.
"No...not that you're late. Maybe that she didn't see this...but not that
you're late." AJ said.
"Yeah..." Howie said, shrugging his shoulders.
AJ, standing there expecting one of them to suddenly pull the trigger,
looked up. It was a wanted sign. "WANTED: Paul Smith- Dead or alive." He
looked at the picture, and then looked at the Paul on the floor. That, was
Paul Smith!
"Nick! Throw me the gun!" AJ said, holding his hand out.
"Why?" Nick asked.
"Just do it!" AJ said, getting anxious before he knew that he had seen the
sign.
"OK!" Nick said, confused, but, threw AJ the gun.
"Die!" AJ said, pulling the trigger, and shooting Paul straight between the
eyes.
"AJ!" Jennifer screamed, frightened.
"Sorry. Scare you?" AJ asked.
"Yeah. It's OK." Jennifer said, pulling away from where Paul laid.
"What'd you shoot him for? You could be convicted with something!" Brian
screeched.
"That's why." AJ said, pointing to the "WANTED." poster.
"Good thinking!" Howie said, giving AJ a high five.
"I have a date with Erin tonight...so, she can hear all about it." AJ said.
Suddenly, Jennifer fell back to the ground.
"Jennifer?" Brian asked, watching her fall back to the ground.
