Never Die Alone Page #6

You.

If you're worried about me|goin' to the police, I didn't. I swear.

I don't care about that.|Now put the gun down.

I won't hurt you.

- What's your name?|- Paul.

F*** is a white boy like you doin'|uptown in a dead man's car, Paul?

He gave it to me before he died.

He give you that ring too?

Take your ass home, man.|You don't belong here.

I need to know why.

- Why what?|- Why did you kill him?

- He deserved it.|- Believe me, I know.

But why did you kill him?

He killed my mother.

Edna?

The man that you killed...|was your father.

You see, he has these tapes of--

I've been listening to 'em.

See, when he was dying, he--|he asked me to bury him.

He--

He begged for a decent burial.

Hallowed ground.

Oh. Man.

Hurry. Come on.

You gotta get outta here.|Take the car.

There's a quarter million|dollars in the trunk.

It's yours. You're free.|Go! Get outta here! Go!

Go.

An amazing story.

Truly amazing.

- But I can't print it.|- Why not?

This is a newspaper,|not a fiction magazine.

But it's true, all of it--|the stabbing, the hospital.

I had a gun pointed at my head!

You're a great writer.|If it's a job you want, you're hired.

But that--

Unfortunately,|I don't believe a word of it.

Tell you the truth...

I probably wouldn't|have believed it either.

After all, I did live|a pretty extraordinary life.

It's too bad it had to catch up|with me when it did...

before I had a chance|to turn the corner...

and write the final chapter.

Fate's a funny thing|when you think about it.

How everything is interconnected,|like a game of dominoes.

How one man's life can have|such a powerful effect...

however inadvertent,|on the lives of so many others.

How it can transform itself into|a gift that keeps on giving.

Like I said, I guess my life|was pretty extraordinary.

In the end, I suppose it all comes back|to the whole karma thing.

Who knows.

If it's half as real as the Hindus say...

I may just get a second chance after all.

I wonder, what lies ahead|for me on the other side?
