Stray Bullets Page #3

See... you are not helping.

This is not helping us

sort this situation out.

This job has gone to sh*t,

but it's not over yet.

Yeah, well at least I

did my part of the job.

What-what's

your plan then?

What, are you gonna sit around?

Wait it out?

I wouldn't do that.

Leave him alone, Cody.

They're just scared.

They're in the wrong

place at the wrong time.

It's start-starting to seem

like maybe we were, too.

So what are you saying?

I'm saying I think we made

a bad move, Cody, and all

this is us answering for it.

Well, why do you think I've been

calling the shots around here?

Yeah, that's another thing.

Who decides you get to be...

Shut up!

Stop talking!

What is your f***ing problem?

Charlie is bleeding

out in that room.

Charlie, our friend and

boss of twenty years.

More.

More than twenty years, yes.

Cody...

Can you imagine if he dies?

I mean, sh*t, man.

With Charlie gone,

everything changes.

No, everything's

already changed.

I'm taking it to Charlie.

I have an idea.

Cody.

Yeah, boss.

Cody, Cody, Cody.

Listen, man.

We gotta work together, okay?

Sure, boss.

Now, Dutch...

My understanding is we got a bit

of a situation out there, right?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, well okay.

Now listen to priority.

It's gotta be...

To get the car going, okay?

So okay, fix the car.

Where the hell are we?

Charlie, don't-don't

strain yourself.

Alright, you know what?

You guys gotta get out of here.

You gotta just get out of here.

I'll hang out here

with the kids.

Hey, Dutch.

You got anything to

sweeten this like um...

A kind of music or something?

I-I-i don't know.

I got the... yeah.

I got the thing.

It can put the tunes on, right?

What are you doing?

You got a new phone?

Look at you. Ha!

Let me find something.

I don't think that's gonna work.

That's nice, but you know what?

Let's get...

Cody, open the curtain.

Oh.

Oh yeah.

That's better.

Charlie, you ready?

Alright, let's do it.

Get that f***ing

thing out of me.

Okay.

Ah!

Alright, Charlie.

What the f***!

Go ahead, go ahead.

Alright, Charlie.

Come on.

Will you hurry the f*** up?

Alright, man.

- Woo!

- We're gonna beat this.

Get it out! What the...

Stay still.

Stay still now.

That's it.

Alright, alright.

Look out!

Alright.

I got it, I got it.

I got the bullet.

I got the bullet, Charlie.

I just...

Just rest now.

You're alright.

I'm gonna have to do...

I gotta burn them, Cody.

I'm gonna burn it shut.

Sorry, Charlie.

Alright, man.

Okay.

Okay.

Can I make a suggestion?

What is it?

Well...

I work at a body shop

not far from here.

I can maybe take a look at

your car and see what's wrong.

What are you getting at?

Well, ash and I can go get

the part you need from my

shop and install it for

you and get some medical

supplies, too.

Whatever you need.

It could work, Cody.

No medical supplies. I don't

want you gone that long.

We fix the car.

And only one of you goes.

You.

Your buddy stays.

What are you waiting for?

'72 dodge dart.

'74.

Can I take a look?

Go ahead.

Can I go inside?

There's a gun in there.

You should probably take it.

You punctured a heating hose.

You would've been able to

drive for about two hours

before your radiator overheated.

Uh huh.

So I'll get you a new

hose and two clamps.

It's an easy fix.

You got a half hour.

- I'm gonna need more time.

- Time starts now.

Can I let ash know I'm going?

No.

You're wasting time, go on.

What you mean like first

grade, kindergarten?

Yeah, I had a buddy like

that one time.

How's it going?

Having a nice chat?

Getting to know each other.

Look what I found.

In the front seat.

Can you f***ing imagine?

You're becoming a liability.

One too many f*** ups.

Hey, Connor.

What's wrong?

Are you okay?

Teen angst.

Don't worry, that

never goes away, kid.

Yo, is that Connor?

I think, yeah.

What's he doing?

I don't know.

Wait, Connor.

- Connor.

- Hey.

Yo.

Jesus.

Um, is he okay?

I don't know.

- He doesn't really run.

- I mean...

He'll probably be fine.

Yeah, totally.

Connor, what are you doing?

Richie, you're probably

wondering why I'm here.

Yeah, I mean, it

is your day off.

Well, let me explain.

Uh, you know Mr.

Cooper, copper?

I can never remember.

- Cooper with the '74 Pontiac?

- Right.

Um he was pulled over on 28 with

his hood open and everything.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Anyway, so you know.

Heater hose punctured somehow.

I thought I'd help him out.

And I told him to contact

you about payment.

And I didn't wanna bother

you because I know you

weren't expecting me today so.

You alright?

Yeah, I'm fine. I just ran from

all the way over there so.

Okay, okay, sure.

You can do that.

- No problem. Uh...

- Okay.

Those are the wrong clamps.

Hold on.

One. These are the

right clamps.

Take those and uh,

take the cutters.

And uh...

Okay, thank you.

Alright, we'll see you later.

Hey, weren't you supposed to

clean JT's trailer today?

Yeah, we finished.

We finished that.

That was pretty quick.

Yeah. Uh...

Gotta go.

See you later, kid.

Oh!

Oh, this is great.

So this is what uh...

This is what kids are

doing these days?

I mean, this is like

seriously dangerous.

Well, you wear lots of

body armor and a helmet.

A helmet?

Yeah, like a mask.

I don't wear armor, but

I just wear a hoodie.

Does that make you cool?

Well no, that's just how I play.

Oh. And how does

one play exactly?

Well, there's a bunch of

different kinds of games.

Capture the flag, team-on-team,

last man standing.

What's that one?

Last man standing?

Yeah.

Well, it's kind of like

what it sounds like.

Shoot everybody

until nobody's left.

Nobody?

What about the last man?

Well, it's called that, but

everybody always gets shot.

Huh.

In the neck, in the neck.

Everybody get your

raffle tickets.

Please get your raffle

tickets before we announce

the raffle number.

Thank you.

My father liked to fish,

you know?

He was uh...

Had like a lodge

I guess you'd say.

It was up in Massachusetts.

And uh, it wasn't

much, you know.

But he'd go up there and I'd go

up on the weekends sometimes.

My mom would go to Jersey

with her girlfriends.

I'd go up there

and he'd be uh...

You know, he liked to drink,

too, don't get me wrong.

But when he wasn't

drinking, we'd go out and

take the boat and...

You know.

Some of my happiest

memories, you know?

Just-just-just drifting

along with him.

We'd catch sunnies, you know.

Throw them back.

What's your father like?

Time's up.

How well do you know this kid?

Cody, come on.

Give him a chance.

I don't think I will.

Whoa! What are you doing?

Come on!

I'm gonna knock his f***ing...

Come on, no!

Come on, come on!

Cody, relax!

Cody, stop.

Now stop!

- Get off of me!

- Hey, hey!

He didn't do anything!

F***ing let go of me!

The kid didn't do a thing.

I don't f***ing care

if he did anything.

Where's your f***ing

friend and his f***ing...

Relax!

You're late.
