The rest are PETE, JAKE, DEVON, SERLINA, JEROME, DRE, SPIKE and KENNETH, second in command of the gang. Just in case something goes down with the LEADER, he takes over. Spike and Pete are blowing coke at the corner. Customers go and come. They are getting mad money, business is going good for both of them until... One brother who looks tough and pissed off is strapped. Walking towards Pete's direction pulls his GACK out fires two bullets in the chest of Pete. Spike tries to back his DOG up but he's too late as he takes his piece and fires at the man as he fires back. Other BYSTANDERS runaway as gunshots ricochet off the LIQUAR STORE's wall. They both draw their guns like cowboys from the John Woo film "Hard Broiled." CUT TO: EXT. CORNER-DAY The BROTHER runs away as Spike fires six more rounds at 30 feet away. He got away. Pete dies.
