23 Minutes to Sunrise Page #4

But I knew Billy was.

I scrambled over

to where he had been.

And I saw.

Dead.

The IED had just

ripped him apart.

And then I saw something else.

I saw a man.

He was dressed in fatigues,

but no stripes, no insignias.

Nothin.

He was just

standing there,

staring at Billy.

And then he looked at me.

He looked right through me.

Then he just turned

and walked away.

And it was like he just

faded into the smoke.

That's the same guy out there.

That's crazy, Eddie.

I knew you would say that.

But it's true.

You even said it. There's

something about that guy, right?

You're serious aren't you'?

I'll do whatever you say, Eddie.

Whatever you say.

You care more about your hair twining

than you care about me.

Whatever.

Can I sit down?

Would you like

to live forever'?

Hell no.

Wait- wail.

Does she have to live

forever with me?

What do you mean?

Would you like to live forever'?

What am I going to look like

when I'm 500 years old?

Just like you do today.

So I never age.

No.

Can I be 21 again, forever'?

No.

You'll look just as

you do today.

I don't think so then.

That was the worst display

of vanity I've ever witnessed.

Surprise, surprise.

Another stupid opinion.

How's that for

a stupid opinion!?

Allright everyone

shut the f*** up!

Allright everyone

shut the f*** up!

You, get out here!

Empty the cash into a bag.

You- get over there, now! Move!

Hey! Didn't you hear me?

I said get over there. Now!

All right everyone,

it's just going to take a second,

and then we'll be out of here.

I need all your purses, cell phones

wallets, any cash you have...

and give me that jewelry.

That's right. There you go.

I'm trying, I'm trying

- Baby, hurry up.

Babe, grab the cash.

How'd

you do over there?

Hey, did you not hear me!'.I

Give me your f***in wallet!

I don't have a wallet.

Then you give me your cash!

I don't

have any cash.

You see what I have here?

Sure. I do indeed.

That's a Glock 19.

Semi-automatic hand gun,

Weighting in at 30 ounces

when fully loaded,

a favorite with military,

law enforcement

and Holl-lee-wood.

These things usually

retail for 600 bucks,

but I suspect,

you did not pay retail.

Ow!

Aw, kid...

Don'! spoil a good time.

Babe, baby, I have

everything, let's go.

Get back!

Who locked the f***in' door!

You!

Get over here and

unlock this door now!

Get over here.

- I didn't do anything.

Don'! bullshit me!

Open the f***ing door!

It's jammed.

There's a back door. Just go out the back.

The back doors right there.

F***in' lying to me... You lying to me?

I'm watching you...

Go to the door.

Go to the door baby.

Open the door baby.

I'm trying!

What the f*** is going on here!

What do I do'?

You messin' with me'?

Don't f*** with me!

You f***ing' with me'?!

Huh? You f***in' with me?

You don't want to f*** with me,

'cause I will bring these f***in' walls down.

The f***.

Yeah, I'll take a look at it.

Gel down!

Gel down!

Quiet!

Just stay back baby.

Oh f***.

Sh*t!

I shot you!

Nope, nothin' there.

Damn, they had good coffee.

You...

you're doing this aren't you!

You're doing this!

Hey, kid, I hate

to spoil your fun,

but if you can wail like

five more minutes,

we will do

whatever you want to.

Who the hell do

you think you are, man!

For I will blow

your f***ing head off!

Four minutes.

Get up.

Open the door!

- I don't know how. -Open the door!

It should open.

I don't know why...

You! Open the door now.

Just let her go.

Open the door.

I'm not in charge, he is.

I'm going to count to three...

I can help you.

Just say yes and

you'll live forever.

Don't say yes. Don't trust

them. Don't say yes.

Eddie, I don't want to die.

- Shut up!

If you say yes, he can't hurt you.

- Shut up!

No one can. You'll never die.

Don't say yes.

I don't want to die, Eddie.

I know, just don't say yes. Don't!

One minute.

Alright everybody shut up.

I'm counting to three; if this

door doesn't open, she dies.

Ok.

One

Take the gift.

Don't say yes.

Two!

-say yes.

Look - I'll take it

I'll take the gift.

Just open the god damn door.

Eddie!

Wow, you'd do that for her?

How sweet.

Shut up!

- He said yes. You heard him.

I like her better.

Three!

- Please Eddie, help me.

Open the f***ing door, now!

Open the door!

I need you, I love you.

Oh god...

I'm sorry...

I killed him.

Hello.

Hello. Who the f*** is this?

It's Eddie.

F*** you.

Listen, um, you gonna be

home for a bit?

You show up at my door

and I swear I'll kill you.

I'll be right over.
