Fade in: Ext. railroad-Day

(Two men stand in front of each  other each of them is holding a black suitcase. They're both in suites Joie is in black and Blake is in white. There both in there in there mid 30's.)

Joie
Well Blake it's been a hella long time.

Blake
Yes it has Joie.

Joie
So how have things been for you...good 
I hope

Blake
Things have been fine.

Joie
And how's that sweet wife of yours?

Blake
Watch it Joie.

Joie
Hey, hey, dont get all pissed off. I’m just seeing how my old buddy is.

Blake
Exactly…old buddy. We’re not anymore.

Joie
Yeah I know. And that’s very unfortunate.

Blake
You know since we’re here Joie tell me why. Why did you do it? Stab your own family in the back.

Joie
You see Blake you still have a lot to learn. First, Working in the mafia is all about money. Second, We’re not family. We were just partners and damn good ones I might add. But what lesson did you learn from me?

Blake
Not to trust a piece of shit like you.

Joie
Exactly…You always need to worry about number one…yourself. I mean come on Blake you were just so god damn stupid. Why did you put that much trust in me? It was almost as if you were asking me to do it.

Blake
You were like a brother to me Joie. That’s why I trusted you. And you betrayed me.

Joie
Yeah well you gotta do what you gotta do.

Blake
Oh really? And what was that, that you had to do.

Joie
It’s simple…they were paying more.

Blake
And I suppose that respect has nothing to with you?

Joie
Not in this business my friend.

Blake
You know Joie you never seize to amaze me.

Joie
(With a grin)
I try.

Blake
Ok well are you ready to do this thing cause I’ve about had enough of your bullshit.

Joie
Sure thing…well here’s the money.

Blake
And here’s your drugs.

(They hand each other their suite cases.)

Blake
I cant believe I ever trusted you.

Joie
Well if there’s one thing you need to learn about it’s that you can never trust me.

Blake
Trust me man you have yours coming to you.

Joie
Oh don’t worry I have a trick up my sleeve to.

Blake
Well I cant wait. But you better watch your back cause the next time I see you I’ll kill you do you understand me?

Joie
Sure thing.

(They both turn around and start walking back towards their men that were waiting for them. Blake has one partner with him and Joie has two.)

Blake’s partner
Did you get it all taken care of?

Blake
Yeah I gave him the drugs and he gave me the mon-

(Blake pauses and thinks back to what Joie said)

Blake
(to himself)
He said never to trust him. Oh my god!

Blake’s partner
What’s wrong Blake?

Blake
It’s a trap get outa-

(Before he can finish Blake’s partner takes a shot to the head and blood fly’s all over Blake.)

Blake
FUCK!!

(Blake grabs his gun and runs to take cover. Him and Joie are shooting at each other. While they are one of
 
  Joie’s partners sneaks around to shoot Blake. He gets right behind him and is ready to shoot when Blake kicks his feet out from under him and jumps up and shoots the guy in the shoulder of the arm that’s carrying his gun. And he drops his gun instantly because it paralyzed his arm. Blake runs up to him and grabs him by the throat and squeezes and the guy falls to his knees and Blake puts the gun to head and blows his brains out. Blake is so pissed at this point that he starts running after Joie’s other partner. It catches the guy off guard and at the last second the guy gets one round off that hits Blake right in the arm, But he shot him so close that it makes Blake spin around to the back of the guy. But while blake spins he grabs the guy by the head and breaks his neck. Blake stops for a second to catch his breath and then he looks up and sees that Joie is running down the railroad tracks with the drugs and his gun. He starts to run after him. Joie shoots behind him and this makes Blake take cover. Joie keeps shooting so Blake stay put.

When Blake looks back up he is gone. Hiding some were
 in the bushes. He walks slowly with his gun ready.     
 
Blake
Come on Joie! What’s wrong? Lets do this. Let’s finish it…Hey why you running off with those drugs? Look in the case.

(Camera goes to Joies ducking in a bush. He opens up the brief case and there’s just a pice of paper that reads
 “Fuck You!” Joie gets a pissed off look on his face and stand up with his gun and walks out to Blake.)

Joie
Well that’s very creative. It looks like me and you think alike after all.

Blake
Yes we do. So you really thought you would get away. 

Joie
Well yes…but it seems that you overcame my men.

(As joie is talking he is walking up to Blake slowly.)

Blake
Yeah well you should have known that I am better than those guys.

Joie
Yes you are-

(Joie grabs Blake’s gun very fast and hit’s Blake over the head which brings him to his knees. He points both of the guns at Blake’s face.)

Joie
But Blake you were never better than me and I can see you still aren’t. Look what you let me do. So I guess this is goodbye old pal.

(Joie pulls the triggers on both guns and their empty. He gets this “Oh shit” look on his face and freezes.)

Blake
(With a grin)
There was only six shots.

(Quickly he pulls out a gun from his back and shoots Joie right in the head and blood flies everywhere. He gets up and walks over to the body and looks down at Joie. He does a chuckle.

Blake
You fuckin idiot
