Synopsis

Chapter 1 - The Betrayal

on his way to Tampa Maximum Security Prison after being sentenced to ten years for armed robbery. He sat in the back of the prison bus, staring out the window collecting detailed memories of a world that would remain unseen by him for the next ten years . As he gazed he realized he was on the route of the high-speed chase that ensued on the day of the robbery. His eyes widened and his stare became intense as the bus approached the exit point of the highway. It was as if he was reliving the moments of the of the robbery.

He vividly recollects every single moment so much so that he could feel the rush of adrenaline he felt when they pulled up to the front of the bank. He remembered the drum like pounding of his heart as he pulled his ski mask over his head. These intense flashbacks prolonged and he's now in a high-speed chase with the police on the highway. The sound of sirens goes wailing in his ears. He then recounts the smell of gunpowder that filled the car as they discharged multiple rounds trying desperately to keep the cops at bay.

They eventually lost the cops at the exit point of the highway and Vincent remembers the joy he felt and him exclaiming to his friend Tony we did it! we are rich Tony!. Vincent noticed that Tony wasn't as overjoyed as he was, infact he was emotionless. He shaked him asking whats wrong Tony? we got away, we did it!. At this time Vincent saw Jason staring at him and Tony through the rear view mirror. He looked directly at Tony and nod his head then he looked back at Vincent with a cold and sinister stare, Vincent looked at Tony who had tears running from his eyes.

He looked at Tony with a confused look on his face , what's going on ? he asked. Am sorry Vincent, Tony replied but the money just isn't enough for all of us. Vincent :"That's bullshit Tony!, it's six hundred thousand divided four ways". "That's a hundred and fifty thousand a piece, that's more than enough Tony!". "No its not Vincent!", Tony replied fruastratedly, "we want more ,I want more ok!".

Ok Tony I understand you want more, let's rob a next bank then or two, screw it let's rob ten banks!. All I'm saying is Tony , you don't have to do this ,we are best friends. Tony paused for a second to think about what Vincent was saying then he pointed his gun at him, Tony: "Vincent am sorry but this how it has to be". "No no no don't do this Tony" Vincent begged, just take the money I don't want it ,please just don't kill me Tony". Tony: "You still don't get it! don't you?, if we leave u alive you're a witness, we have to kill you Vincent ".

Through out the entire conversation Jason and Mike were in the front of the car silently listening but they fact Tony hesitated to kill Vincent annoyed him and Mike grew impatient. "Kill him already Tony!", he exclaimed.

Tony raised his gun at Vincent once more , his hand began to shake , he grabbed it with the other to keep it steady but this was futile. He told himself that this was just a mental issue due to fact that he and Vincent were close friends but if he focused his mind he could overcome it. Mike noticed him struggling to even look at Tony more over to point his gun steathily at him and once more he grew impatient.

Vincent was about to appeal to Tony once more but Mike intervened shouting "fuck this shit !, you're out of time G!". Mike turned around in his seat to face Vincent and fired two shots, Vincent raised his arms to protect his face. The first shot flew through his hand went trough the upper left corner of his jaw and exited through the lower right corner of his next jaw. The second shot logged in his upper chest, Mike opened Vincent's door and told Tony to kick out his body to which Tony complied. Tony looked out the window as the car sped away, thinking to himself that he will never be able to remove the image of his friend's lifeless body on the side of the road from his mind also he won't be able to live with the guilt of knowing he was a part of his demise.

Vincent laid there on the side of the road motionless, bleeding out rapidly. His jaws were shattered, his chest felt as if an elephant was standing in it. His body had reached it's limit and was in excruciating pain. Despite having all these physical injuries and having to endure all the pain they brought , no pain was greater than the pain he felt being betrayed by the man he considered to be his closest friend. He started to loose contiousness as he went into shock . Seconds before passing out he made a promise to himself that he wouldn't die until he got his revenge on everyone who had set him up , especially Tony.
