Misunderstanding gone bad



Karl:Get down!
Mason:Why?
K:Coz in a minute they will start shooting..
M:It’s all a big misunderstanding.They cant’t just..
Mason falls to the ground at the sound of bullets whizzing by and going straight at him with every passing second.
K:I did tell you..
M:Yeah,but why would they?How can they?They can’t touch me.I am one of them.I need to get to Larson and explain everything to him. He will get it..
K:Will he?.
M:Yeah.I always worked for him and he knows me.
K:Yeaaaaah,but you also know how much he loves money and here you are on the run with a lot,a lot of his money. Now,am I wrong or there were others on the run with his money?
M:Yeah but,they planned it and he caught up and gave them what they deserved.I did not know what was in the trunk.
K:Oh yeah. I am sure he will sit there,listen to your story,say it’s ok and let you go.Right..After he puts one of his signature bullets in your brain.What’s done,is done. You have to run now or you will be a dead man if you go back.Your choice.
M:Well what do you suggest I do?I worked for Larson since my early teens. That’s all I know.
K:Well,that is your problem to figure out. For now we need to get out of here,and fast.
M:What do you suggest?
K:What do YOU suggest?
M:Uhmmm,we take turns covering each other while we make a run for it.Right towards the car and get going.
K:Great!Mhm sounds great..Now,tell me what happens when they get it, and start shooting at the car and we stuck inside. When they pop the tires and the tank and if won’t go Boom,we stuck in place and dead right there and then..
M:Yeah,you’re right. I don’t know. We are fucked.Dead. I don’t know what else we can do,just hope we live somehow and he after all forgives me and gets it.
K:Even if,EVEN if he will..What about me?
M:I don’t know..
K:Nice job kiddo,we fucked..
Karl nudges the shoulder of Mason and the glowing blue amulet slides out..
K:Uhmmmm what the actual fuck?What the fuck is that?How the..?Wait a minute..
Long pause….
K:Are you fucking kidding me?Are you serious?Are you Fucking kidding me!!!???..
Mason looks surprised for a second having forgotten about the amulet in the heat of the moment and realises how close they were to loosing it all including their lives. He reluctantly makes eye contact with Karl and all he could say was..
M:Listen,I’m sorry. I forgot about this thing. It was a lot to handle and I was stressing and we had to move. I’m sorry. At least we have a way out,right?
K:You have it?You had it all this time?In your pocket?Oh my God,Mason!Dude!
Taking a couple of second to breathe in and out…
K:Just do it.Don’t say a thing.Just do it and get us out of here..Un..fucking..believable..
M:But..
K:Do it!Now!
Mason held out the glowing blue amulet in the palm of his hand.Karl has put his hand on Mason’s shoulder.They both closed their eyes and the following second,at the sound of thunder, they both disappeared. Just like that. Gone. The shooting men stopped their fire. They knew what has happened. They rushed towards the rock where men were sitting,taking cover and just like that. It was empty. They were gone. Larson will not be happy.
