We see a shadowy figure lurking in the darkness, smoking a cigarette. This is JAMES, a seasoned contract killer. He receives a phone call from his employer, MR. SMITH, who gives him his next assignment - to eliminate a wealthy businessman named MR. JOHNSON.
James sneaks into the mansion, armed with a silencer. He carefully makes his way through the house, avoiding security cameras and guards. Finally, he reaches Mr. Johnson's bedroom and silently entered.
Mr. Johnson is fast asleep in his bed, unaware of the danger lurking nearby. James takes aim and fires a single shot, killing Mr. Johnson instantly. He quickly leaves the scene, leaving no trace behind.
James meets with Mr. Smith to collect his payment. However, Mr. Smith double-crosses him, revealing that he never intended to pay James and instead planned to eliminate him as well.
A tense standoff ensues between James and Mr. Smith, with both men pointing guns at each other. Just as it seems like James is about to meet his end, the police burst in and arrest Mr. Smith for his involvement in the murder-for-hire scheme.
James is brought in for questioning by DETECTIVE HARRIS, who reveals that they have been tracking Mr. Smith's criminal activities for months. James is offered a deal - to testify against Mr. Smith in exchange for a reduced sentence.
James takes the stand and recounts the events that led to Mr. Johnson's murder. Mr. Smith is found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. James walks out of the courtroom, a free man once again.
We see a dimly lit warehouse with a single light bulb hanging from the ceiling. Two men, JAMES and MIKE, are standing face to face. James is a hitman hired to kill Mike, a wealthy businessman.
JAMES
(serious)
You know why I'm here, Mike.
MIKE
(nervous)
Please, James, I can explain. I can pay you double, just let me go.
JAMES
(sighs)
It's too late for that now. The contract has been signed.
Mike reaches for a gun hidden in his jacket, but James is quicker and shoots him in the chest. Mike falls to the ground, gasping for air.
JAMES
(panicking)
Shit, shit, shit!
James quickly searches Mike's pockets and finds a phone. He dials a number and waits for someone to pick up.
JAMES
(into the phone)
It's done. I need someone to clean up the mess.
Suddenly, Mike starts coughing and wheezing. James realizes that he's still alive.
JAMES
(panicking)
No, no, no! This can't be happening!
Mike looks up at James, a look of betrayal in his eyes.
MIKE
(weakly)
Why...why did you do this?
JAMES
(tears in his eyes)
I'm sorry, Mike. It's just business.
Just then, the sound of sirens can be heard in the distance. James knows he doesn't have much time.
JAMES
(grabbing the gun)
I'm sorry, Mike. I can't let you live.
James raises the gun, but before he can pull the trigger, the warehouse door bursts open and a SWAT team storms in.
SWAT OFFICER
(firmly)
Drop the weapon, now!
James hesitates for a moment, then drops the gun and raises his hands in surreñdered.
The End.
