Chapter 4

(((Alarm clock on cell phone sounds)))

(((Alarm clock on cell phone sounds)))

(((Alarm clock on cell phone sounds)))

Will: Shut the fuck up…..

Presses snooze

(((Alarm clock on cell phone sounds)))

Will awakes in room, looking to his left with a woman tucked under his right arm

Will: What is this Quantum Fucking Leap?

There are sides to every story… Not two, sometimes three or four… This one had multiple sides. Will chose the wrong side again. When realizing he was on the side of evil he tried to make good if it… He could not have made it worse. Instead of avenging a death, he created more death and more despair. He took a father from his family and failed to find justice for a mother and father who live with the death of a loved one… He did not only meet his demise, his actions sent a young girl and a loving father to their demise

Will: I get this feeling I am never leaving this dream

Kris: Are you awake?

Will: Yeah…. Babe…. Why what's up?

Kris: I need coffee

Will: Sure baby doll, I'll run out and get some Dunkin'

Kris: Hurry back, baby

Will: Will do love

Will leaves room grabs keys to sports car parked outside house

Will thinking everything feel's right and this is just where he thinks he should be

Pulls up to a Dunkin' Donuts and goes inside

Attendant: Can I help you?

Will: Sure, Can I get an extra large French Vanilla with some cream and extra sugar, as well as a medium Caramel iced latte?

Attendant: Sure.

Will waiting as coffee is made

Bewildered looking guy walks up looking all shitfaced and out of it

Bewildered man: Can I get some coffee, just a black fucking cup of coffee?

Manager: Sure sir, what size?

Bewildered man: Large sand nigger

Manager: Sir, please there is no need for this language here…

Bewildered man: Make my fucking coffee brown stain

Manager goes to make coffee, as will waits for his order, attendant approaches

Attendant: $6:45

Will pays graciously

Will: Thanks so much

Will leaves with coffee as he approaches car and put drinks down on front seat looks into the store to see the bewildered man jumping over the counter at the manager.

Will thinking this is not my place; I should call the cops or go…. (Will never one to call the police in any situation, run into the D & D's)

Will: What the fuck?

Will dive over the counter and grabs the bewildered guy by the head…

Will: Calm the fuck down! What's wrong with you?

Bewildered guy: How does this sand dweller have a job and I am broke as fuck?!?

Will: Dude, who cares, the cops are going to be here in two minutes and then where the fuck are you?

Bewildered guy: Cops? What the fuck do I care? I am a Lieutenant, a veteran; they can suck my fucking balls!

Will: Sir, just let the guy go… He has never done a thing to you….

Bewildered man: How would you know? I feel like I just shot him and his brother 3 weeks ago… They all look the same

Will: Sir, I am quite sure this guy did not get here in three weeks and acquire a managerial job at Dunkin' Donuts….

Bewildered man: Well, you're as dumb as you look…

Bewildered guys pulls out pistol and points it at the managers head

Will: Don't man, come on… What's the fucking point?

Bewildered man: BLACK FUCKING COFFEE! That's the only point!

Will: Go to a fucking deli you crazy white trash retard!

Bewildered man: What?

Will: You heard me… You fucking piece of shit, you're a coward and a disgrace to your race and country

Bewildered man drops the manager and point gun and all his attention towards Will

Bewildered man: The fuck you just say to me?

Will: If you would kill this man in cold blood, you are a coward

Bewildered man: No the other part…

Will: What?

Bewildered man: Did you call me white trash?

Will: Uh, yeah…. But, I was just trying to get your attention man…. There is no need for this shit

Bewildered man: You know what; you're the one I should hate… The white man with all the answers, all the judgments, and all the ridicules….

Will: Sir, maybe, but I am just a guy buying coffee for my girl

Bewildered man: Oh a girl, I had one…. 3 years ago… Guess where she is?

Will: I have no….

Bewildered man: (Cutting Will off) Shut the fuck up! You know where… Not with me, that for fuck sure… I think you and I were meant to meet today, because instead of getting the death penalty for a hate crime…. I get to kill a white motherfucker, who is ten times worse than any sand nigger I could ever murder…

Will: Sir, I am just trying to help here…

Bewildered man: Oh, you did… You saved this brownie his life, and you helped me get my anger issues clear…. You also shaved 20 years off my sentence…

Will: What?

Bewildered man fires at will towards Will, striking him time and time again in the chest, arm, and stomach

Cops already outside waiting, fire shot into the glass… Bewildered man lays down his gun and slams his head against the plate glass window and knocks himself out

Will: Fuck…. Fuck… I can feel this…. This is real… This is it…

Paramedic: Let's go, let's go

Paramedics put Will in ambulance

Paramedic: Stay with me man, stay with me….

Will: (Faintly) I'm trying man…….. I really want to see how this play out…

Paramedic: What?

Will laughing and crying simultaneously

Ambulance arrives at hospital where Kris and Will's family watch as he is brought into the ER

Will: Hey Kris….. Mom...

Kris: Is he going to be ok?

No answer from doctors or paramedics

Finally paramedic comes out from ER

Kris: Is he ok?

Paramedic: Ma'am I do not know how he made it here alive…

Kris crying with Will's mom and family

Doctor: He is asking to see Kris…?

Kris: Yes, that's me… How is he?

Doctor: To be blunt, he is hanging on, and asked for his last rites…. But, he wanted to see you first.

Kris enters hospital room to Will lying under bloody sheets

Kris: Will, I'm here…

Will: Oh perfect… I was waiting……………

Kris: For what?

Will: Well, I am done… I just wanted to give you this…

Will hands Kris two dollars

Will: It's for the coffee I never brought you… I suck… I never get shit right….

Flat lines……………………………………….

Kris: Will, Will!

Kris sobbing uncontrollably

(((Why don't you ask the kids at tiananmen Square)))

(((Why don't you ask the kids at tiananmen Square)))

(((Why don't you ask the kids at tiananmen Square)))

Will: Now it's System…. Wonderful, what next?

We made a choice not once, not twice, Not even three times made it feel wrong. They felt right in our hearts, but failed to keep those hearts beating. We keep trying to save lives, avenge a lost life, or make our insignificant lives seem more meaningful… Yet, when all is said and done, we find ourselves right back where we started. Lonely, afraid, ready to make a move, or a moral choice that can change are lives forever. But, until now, it continues to seem we're just trying to be heroes, just wearing a disguise, which leads us to our demise.
