Hero Wanted Page #2

---

You can't be f***ing serious.

They tried to kill me.

So?

Well, you think there's

some kind of divine justice

around here, is that it?

You think you're

God's own avenging angel?

Well, l got news for you, kid.

lt don't work like that.

And don't talk to me about death

like l'm some dancer

that's never hit the floor.

Now, l understand you got

your grievances with these fools,

but you need to talk

to the police and air this sh*t.

Tell 'em you found out

who the cocksuckers are.

lt's complicated.

Christ, Liam, killin' a man

ain't never easy.

Now you just--

you just take a second here...

and think.

No. No police.

Maybe l did something

l shouldn't have, but...

what's done is done.

Yeah, well, maybe you're right.

You go to the cops now,

they'll lock you up for life.

Maybe that's what you get--

what you deserve.

And then how true

would be my word?

l made your dad a promise

l'd do everything l could

to keep you safe and clean,

same as he did to me.

l need your help.

Revenge.

It's an airborne disease,

and it traveIs fast.

We need to talk.

Why, man?

l said we got to talk!

l'm trying to get some.

Take it easy.

Get up.

Beat it!

Let's go.

What's up?

Someone killed Skinner's brother.

l'm sorry, man.

What happened?

He was beat to death.

With a wok.

A what?

A wok. Chinese skillet.

Doesn't make any sense, though.

l mean, Lynch, he was...

Who do you guys think it was?

Do the math. lt was Liam.

l ain't buying that sh*t.

Not on his f***ing

best day of his life

is he gonna kill your brother.

No, l'm telling you,

he's unbalanced.

lf ''unbalanced'' means ''drunk''...

You know what, hero boy

was in the news for one minute,

and he hasn't seen

a single one of us since he came to.

Yeah, there's a reason

for that, too.

'Cause he thinks one of you

are gonna hurt the girl.

You're a clever f***ing boy.

Give yourself a round of applause.

'Course he knows we're gonna

hurt the girl, but l'm tellin' you,

freak show does not have

the juice to f*** your brother.

l sit here and l listen

to you guys chatter,

no facts coming out

of either one of you.

Only fact is

my little brother's dead.

Yeah, we'll fix it. We'll do it.

Yeah, we will.

Let's say we go

to Liam Case's place.

That's what you want?

That's a done deal.

Sh*t. Sh*t.

- Hi.

- Hi.

lt's just me.

Are you busy?

- Mind if l come in a minute?

- Sure.

Thanks.

l'm sorry about the mess.

Please, don't apologize.

l'm the one who should

be saying l'm sorry.

- For what?

- For just... dropping by like this.

l hate it when people come

to my house unannounced.

l don't mind.

How is she doing today?

Oh, you know...

What's it been, three months now?

Three months without a change.

l'm sorry.

Oh, don't.

Please, Liam.

You didn't shoot her.

Hey, come here.

Have a seat.

l don't want to talk

about my daughter tonight.

Seems like all l do

is talk about my daughter,

think about my daughter.

lt's like l don't... have a life,

you know,

of my own, you know?

lt's like sometimes l...

think that l just wish she'd die

so that l could just carry on.

Don't say that.

Sorry.

Most of the time l'm...

l wish it was me that was dead.

l know how you feel, Melanie.

How could you?

This is kind of embarrassing.

Would it be all right

if l spent the night here,

you know, just for a little while?

Oh, yes.

Please, l really can't go back

to that empty house.

l can't.

MeIanie feeIs she's got

nothing Ieft to Iive for.

It's a feeIing I know aII too weII.

Oh, man, do we have work to do.

Yeah.

Now, first thing, turn off

the movie in your head.

Support the bottom of your gun

with the left hand.

Stop it from kicking you

in the face.

Now, you won't always

have time to use the sights,

but whenever you can,

you use it.

You drop a line down that bastard

and you squeeze.

Never pull it. Just squeeze.

Go ahead.

Give me that thing.

That's how it's done.

Yeah.

You know, the cops'll be looking

for whoever killed that guy.

He was a wannabe gangbanger

who lived in a grease pit.

There's probably 100 guys

wanting to kill him,

including the police.

Yeah?

Load.

Squeeze.

Better.

No doubt, G,

she's a fine piece of ass.

l'd wax this sh*t

till midnight next Thursday!

You like that, you punk b*tch?

Just 'cause you can't shoot

don't mean l can't, motherf***er.

Stay off the court if you don't

own ball for the bizounce!

F***! F***.

Come on, answer the f***ing phone.

Answer the phone, man!

You motherf***er!

F*** your f***ing head!

Don't you ever f***ing die,

you motherf***er?

You want to die, motherf***er?

You're gonna f***ing die!

Can't breathe, huh?

Oh, my dick!

Hey, buddy, long time no see.

What do you want?

Where's the love?

Ain't you gonna invite us

into your little shithole?

l don't like people

stopping by unannounced.

Cut the sh*t.

You know why we're here.

- Refresh my memory.

- Come on.

F*** this.

- lt was you, wasn't it, boy?

- l don't know what you talking about.

- You don't know?

- Liam, is everything okay?

Hey, the dude's got company.

Liam?

Yeah, l'm fine.

Okay, okay, you know

what we're gonna do here?

We're gonna talk tomorrow night.

We're gonna go to the Razor Room.

Should feel safe there.

lt's not my kind of place.

lt's gonna be your kind of place.

You know why?

'Cause if you don't show,

l am gonna drive to the hospital

and l'm gonna go to Room 248

and l'm gonna give my regards

to Kayla McQueen.

Got that?

Haven't you caused her

enough pain?

Hey, save it, save it.

Come on, man.

l haven't even started.

Haven't even started.

Good night.

Tomorrow, you crazy f***.

Check out that chick over there.

Look who's comin'.

Your cousins.

You're f***ed.

- F***ing hell.

- What do you got?

Nothing. F***ing nothing.

What's this?

Why, it's good to see you too.

Things have changed.

Didn't we talk about this already?

We did. He's family, he's my cousin--

he's also Lynch's cousin too.

Fine, f*** it.

You don't need me, then.

Where are you goin'?

To find Liam.

And then what, tough guy?

You're in as deep as l am,

as deep as these guys are,

understand what l'm saying?

Let him go, Derek,

just let him go.

Yeah, go bye-byes.

Bye bye bye bye!

When it's over,

l'm gonna kill him.

Fine.

What's up?

What?

What's not convincing you?

Derek, how many f***ing times

do l have to tell you?

lt was f***ing Liam.

You were with me in his apartment.

That boy was laughing at us.

He was f***ing laughing at us.

Lynch tried to kill him.

What would you do

if someone tried to kill you?

l'm tellin' you,

he's not got the f***ing juice.

- l gotta take a piss.

- You go piss, yeah.

Give me a smoke.

- Listen.

- What?

lf l tell you to f*** up Swain,

you f*** up Swain.

Don't you ever threaten him

in front of me again,

'cause he's one of ours.

Your brother died

with his dick in his hands too.

You're dead!

Get up!

F***er!

Cocksucker!

You sick f***.

You sick f***!

Hey, did Case show?
