20 Ft Below: The Darkness Descending Page #3

I gave you an order, punk.

Okay, right there.

Right... that tickles.

What are you running from,

Sewer Rat?

Your mother, she's looking for her money.

Have you seen her around?

She's got a little crutch.

Really? Crazy son of a b*tch.

What you say to me? Say it

again. What you say to me?

Are you guys all deaf and dumb?

You want me to do some sign language for

you? Because I'm real good at that, too.

It goes like that. Yeah?

Yeah. Really? Come here.

Goddamn it!

What's your damage?

What, you're such a tough guy,

why don't you take me on?

All right, get over yourself,

knock it off, knock it off!

You are so busted, you a**hole,

you know that?

You just assaulted a police

officer, a real police officer.

Fine, take me in. I'll go see

the guys in IA...

tell them how you're knocking around

teenagers for calling you names.

This guy's a threat.

To what, your self-esteem?

Oh, come here! You want it? No,

no!

Come here! Come here!

Knock it off! Both of you,

enough!

Kid, get out of here. Go! What?

Wait a minute, come on, man.

This is bullshit!

You listen to me, mole man...

your sob story means

nothing to me.

You're not a cop anymore,

you're not even close.

You're scum, you're dirt.

I'm gonna sweep you up.

Are you serious? You're

gonna sweep me up?

What do you practice that

crap in a mirror?

You know what, quit the foreplay.

You wanna go, let's go.

Oh, yeah, I'm coming again.

All right, all right!

Come here, you.

That's it! Back off.

You, get out of here, now!

Really? Yeah, really.

Jesus H. Christ.

Hey, Jake?

Hey, Jimmy, how's it going?

You, uh, finally getting

that vest on right?

Yeah, yeah, I got it, thanks.

Um, listen...

I just wanted to say I'm sorry

about what happened to Christine.

She was great... really great.

And I didn't get a chance to

talk to you before you...

before you left.

So, I just wanted to

say I'm sorry.

Thanks, Jim... keep

your head up.

Stay safe, bro.

Those tattoos are amazing,

do they mean something?

They mean everything.

That was intense.

Oh, god, this is crazy.

It is time.

Only when you sacrifice in blood,

can you know who you really are.

In blood, you become family.

In blood, you become worthy.

In blood, you become chosen.

What the hell are you doing,

huh?

Don't be like that, baby.

Tasty...

Agh, b*tch!

It means if you hit one of us,

we all strike back.

This was a very bad idea.

Boo!

You want to test me,

hot looking girl?

Well, well, well, looks like we

have a little visitor.

Oh, god, thank god.

Hey, man, get your own meat.

This little chickie is ours.

She's our, little man.

Give her here... and

go your way.

Not today.

Not... not today.

Lieutenant Armstrong.

Do I know you?

I know you.

How's your wife?

Oh, that's right, I

almost forgot.

Such a shame what

happened to her.

And you couldn't even

protect her.

How's it feel... to be so weak?

So useless.

Look at him go, such

beautiful rage.

Come on! Let's go! Move it!

Are you coming?

It means we aren't

alone anymore...

and if he crosses any of us,

he crosses all...

and even God won't be able

to help you then.

You just wouldn't listen,

would you?

I told you, but you just...

You wouldn't listen.

Is it always this bad down here?

It's getting worse.

Maybe somebody should

do something.

Yeah, somebody... always

means somebody else.

Isn't that why you became a

cop. Hey, Doctor Phil...

you know, I'm not the one who's gonna

help you win your Oscar or whatever...

so why don't you just

give me a break.

I mean, what's the point, right?

You work and you work...

and you work.

And you think you're

making a difference.

And you... and you fight

and you fight...

but the bad... just keeps

getting worse.

You build yourself this nice,

little life, right? This...

perfect, little life...

a life you always dreamed of.

And just watch it get

ripped away.

Boom.

Just like that.

So what's the goddamn point?

You're still alive.

So?

Maybe that is the point,

somebody does need to do something.

And maybe this time, somebody

doesn't mean somebody else.

I'm not sure what it is you

think you're doing...

but if you ever get in my way

in the streets again...

it's not gonna be good.

Get out of my face.

I'm sick of covering for you

and that flame-out.

We should have dragged him in.

You know that.

Get your head out of your ass.

Jake doesn't know nothing

about anything.

How do you know that? Because

he's your butt buddy?

That guy's a mop.

He's a bum! He's a scumbag,

he's washed up.

You think I've got my

head up my ass?

This guy is dangerous, man.

Mm, you don't know a damn

thing about anything.

Jake Armstrong did more in the

force in ten years...

than a steroid slugging p*ssy like

you could do in ten lifetimes...

so why don't you put that in your pipe

and smoke it, you son of a b*tch!

Stay away from him.

Wow, okay, let me tell you

something, man.

You have to pick which side of

the street you want to play on.

Yeah, and you better pick fast.

By the way, Jimmy never came

up from the sweep.

Yeah, wow.

I'm gonna go talk to your

friend to see what he knows.

That's what I'm gonna do. What

are you gonna do?

Loyalty, and instinct.

That's all you have.

The only problem is, when they

say different things.

Then all you can do is choose.

Where are we going?

We aren't going anywhere.

I'm gonna go check on a

friend of mine...

and you're going wherever you

go when you're not here.

Well, at least I can't say

you didn't warn me.

No, you can't, because I did.

Identify yourself now! What

is your purpose?

And don't you even

think about moving.

No.

Sir, Lieutenant Armstrong, sir.

Armstrong, well what in the hell

are you doing out here, boy?

You trying to get

yourself killed?

Sir, no, sir.

Well, stand at ease. It's

good to see you, boy.

And ain't you a little beauty?

Well, thank you... sir.

This is, uh, this is Cappy.

Pleasure.

I signed up, you know?

Wasn't gonna wait on no draft.

There's times a man gotta stand

up and do what needs to be done.

That's it.

19 years old, I knew it.

You know, out there...

you didn't know who the goddamn enemy was

until he was already shooting at you.

Putting bombs in packages, on

bicycles... little kids.

What are you supposed to do

with something like that?

I don't know.

You know, we never left

a man behind.

You don't leave anybody behind.

That's the way it's

supposed to go.

You watch yourself, something's

coming... I feel it.

Now when the sh*t goes down, I

got the arsenal right here.

We all go down together.

Sir, yes, sir.

And little darling, you

come back anytime.

I will, and just so you know,

the ladies love a man in uniform.

This I know.

People forget, you know?

They forget we in this together.

We all go down together.

And you never know who

the enemy is...

until they shooting at you.

Yeah, you know, gotta watch out

for, uh, my little sister.

It was two minutes. Counts,
