Unknown location, Miami
Jess: *handcuffed to a pipe*
Louis: *sits in chair*
Jess: I pictured you to be this fat ugly mobster. What are you, 40?
Louis: Well people say looks can be decieving. And I'm 33. *winks*
Jess: Charming. And I don't picture you to be a 'Louis'.
Louis: I was born with the name Nathan, but changed it when I moved to New York. Anything else you would like to know sweetheart?
Jess: Are you going to kill me?
Louis: *smirks*
Jess: What. You hear that question a lot?
Louis: As a matter of fact I do.
Jess: And what's usually the answer you give?
Louis: *stares at Jess*
Doors open
Thug1: *walks in* Boss, we have a problem.
Louis: Do we.
Thug1: Kayleigh gave you up.
Louis: That's a problem?
Thug1: ...It's..Not a problem?
Louis: *stands* I'm not worried about Kayleigh. She didn't hire me.
Thug1: ...You used to work for her.
Louis: I work for someone else now.
Thug1: That guy in the suit.
Louis: *nods*
Jess: Wait, guy in a suit? You mean Stetler?
Louis: Smart girl. Oh, sorry. Woman. Anyone who can wear a skirt like that deserves all the respect she can get.
Jess: *frowns*
Thug1: He called and said the money's on it's way but it's a little late. He had some trouble with a Cuban guy.
Jess: Eric? Eric's with him?
Thug1: Look boss, the guy's after us too and if the money doesn't get h-
Louis: *lifts hand*
Thug1: ...
Louis: We wait.
Thug1: Yes sir. But um...What do we do with her? Our orders are to kill her once we get the money.
Louis: Right now I want you to pull my car around.
Thug1: Yes sir. *leaves*
Louis: *turns around*
Jess: Did he hurt Eric? Where's Eric?
Louis: I'd worry about yourself right now.
Jess: They're going to find me and you're going to either get killed or go to jail.
Louis: My opponent sounds formidable then.
Jess: My husband will probably skin you alive. And then he'll rip out your eyes and make you watch as he's beating the crap out of you.
Louis: He sounds violent.
Jess: Normally he isn't but when it comes to me, he doesn't waste time.
Louis: I look forward to meeting him.
Jess: And killing him?
Louis: I'm not assigned to him.
Jess: A killer with a work ethic. That's precious.
Louis: *pulls out gun, places it on table*
Jess: *yanks on cuffs*
Louis: *takes gun apart*
Jess: *angry sigh*
Louis: The more you fidget the more uncomfortable you'll be my dear.
Jess: Yeah thanks for the tip.
Louis: *cleaning gun* You have an attitude problem.
Jess: *laughs* Right that's the worst of my problems right now.
Louis: Retorting sarcastically to someone with a gun probably isn't the best way to conduct yourself.
Jess: I figure if I'm going to die anyway it won't make a difference.
Louis: A comforting thought I'm sure.
Noise is heard near back of room
Louis: *lifts eyes* So where did you meet your husband.
Jess: A hotel, why?
Louis: *putting gun back together* You have any kids?
Jess: A daughter.
Louis: I'm sure she's the spitting image of her mother. *walks around table*
Jess: Why are you asking me th-
Louis: *lifts gun, pulls trigger*
BAM BAM
Guy falls over
Jess: ...Who was that?
Louis: *looks around*
Jess: You look worri-
Louis: Shhh.
Jess: ...
Louis: *walks over to Jess, opens cuffs* Come on we're leaving.
Jess: Why? Who was that guy?
Louis: It seems we were followed.
Jess: The cops?
Louis: No. Someone else.
Jess: Who?
Louis: Move.
Jess: Where are we going?
Louis: *drags Jess along* Come on.
Jess: You're supposed to be the big killer so who was that?
Louis: That was no one.
Jess: It was someone.
Louis: *stops walking* Someone is obviously after your IAB friend and it isn't just the cops and your husband. My job is to keep you alive.
Jess: I thought your job was to kill me.
Louis: I'm trained to kill. That doesn't mean I was hired to do so.
Jess: So whoever's after Stetler, is after you?
Louis: Come on.
Car, driving down highway
Jess: *looks out window*
Louis: *staring at road*
Jess: ...So am I some sort of bait or something? So that Eric comes to get me and then you kill Eric?
Louis: I told you he wasn't my assignment.
Jess: Who is? Obviously you were hired to kill
someone.
Louis: *stares at road*
Jess: ...How did Kayleigh hire you? Were you her friend or something?
Louis: ...
Jess: *sigh* Fine.
Louis: I'm her brother.
Jess: *looks at Louis*
Louis: *staring at road*
Jess: ...She...Never mentioned one.
Louis: *tilts head* That would be like her, wouldn't it?
Jess: No one ever mentioned you.
Louis: That's because I didn't exist.
Jess: What do you mean?
Louis: My mother's husband used to leave on business. Usually mob business that sort of thing. She went to New Jersey one summer and came back pregnant.
Jess: ...She had an affair.
Louis: While my sister were at home with the nanny, my mother stayed in New Jersey until I was born and when that happened, she put me in a box and left me on someone's front steps. Kayleigh found me twenty years later after I finished my service with the Marines.
Jess: ...And she hired you as her hit man.
Louis: The money was good.
Jess: ...Did you find your mother again? Talk to her?
Louis: All I know is I have two half brothers and Kayleigh. She told me that, I didn't ask.
Jess: *smiles*
Louis: What.
Jess: You're not going to kill me.
Louis: You seem so sure about that.
Jess: *kicks Louis*
Louis: Ah!
Car swerves
Louis: What the hell are you doing!
Jess: *kicks Louis*
Car swerves into causeway walls, skids, slides
Jess: *opens door*
Car tips and slides
Jess: *rolls out of car*
Black SUV pulls up
Jess: *stands* Ugh. *holding shoulder*
Louis: *gets out of car, pulls out gun*
Jess: *runs*
Louis: *runs*
Jess: *jumps over edge*
Louis: *runs to edge* ...
Thug1: *runs over* Where'd she go?
Louis: *frowning*
Thug1: What happened?
Louis: *turns around* Thanks for your help jackass.
Thug1: I thought you had her.
Louis: Does it
look like I had her?
Thug1: *scoffs* That IAB guy's gonna be mad.
Louis: *glaring* Yeah?
Thug1: *laughing* Yeah.
Louis: *lifts gun, pulls trigger*
BAM
Thug1 falls, dies
Louis: *walks away*
