In The Arms of an Angel
Broken Friendships
Her piercing scream is what caught Eddie's attention who was still outside with White and Pink. They ran inside and saw Tess leaning over Mr. Blondes' body. Kneeling down, Eddie checked his pulse and found that he was barely alive.He looked at his sister sympathetically
"I don't think he'll make it Tess" he said before turning to Mr. Orange who was talking to White and Pink, explaining to them what happened. "What the hell happened?" he asked leaving his sister on the floor with her half dead fiance.
"Blonde went crazy, he slashed the cops face, cut off his ear and was going to burn him alive" Orange said breathlessly. Tess closed her eyes letting the tears fall from them.
"I told you not to do anything stupid" she whispered.
"Which cop? This cop?" Eddie said shooting the cop three times in the chest."You said he went crazy. Something like that? Worse or better?" he asked Orange
"Look, Eddie, he was pullin a burn.He was gonna kill the cop and me.And when you guys walked through the door, he was gonna blow you to hell and make off with the diamonds." Orange replied.
Tess stood up and walked towards Mr. Orange yelling "YOU FUCKING LIAR!!!!!!!" When she was close enough she began kicking him hard in the ribs still yelling. White and Pink grabbed her and held her back as Eddie questioned Orange further.
"I don't buy it. It doesn't make sense."
"It makes perfect fuckin sense to me. Eddie, you didn't see how he acted during the job, we did" White interrupted.
"He's right about the ear it's hacked off" Pink said examining the cops body.
"Let me say this out loud, just to get it straight in my mind. According to you, Mr. Blonde was gonna kill you both. Then when we got back, he was going to kill us, grab the diamonds, and scram. I'm correct about that, right? That's your story?"he asked
"I swear on mothers eternal soul that's what happened" Orange replied
"The man you shot was just released from prison. He got caught at a company warehouse full of hot items. He could've walked. All he had to do was say my dad's name. But he didn't he kept his fucking mouth shut.He did his time and he did it like a man. He did four years for us and we were very grateful. So, Mr.Orange, you're tellin me this very good friend of mine, my sisters fiance, who did four years for my father, who in four years never made a deal, no matter what they dangled in front of him, you're telling me that now, that this man is free, and we're making good on our commitment to him, he's just gonna decide, out of the fuckin blue, to rip us off?" Eddie yelled bulging his eyes out."Why don't you tell me what really happened?" He asked
"Why? It'll just be more bullshit" Joe barked walking into the warehouse pointing to Mr. Orange "This man set us up" he said.
"Daddy I'm sorry I don't know whats happening" Eddie said looking back at his father. He saw Tess on the floor next to Vic again and he felt that familiar sting in his eyes at the sight of his sister in so much pain.
"That's okay Eddie I do." Joe said standing in front of Orange."This fucking piece of shit's with the LAPD"
"Joe I don't know what you think you know but you're wrong" White interrupted
"I don't have the slightest fuckin idea what you're talkin about."Orange choked out
"Joe, trust me on this, you've made a mistake. He's a good kid. I understand you're hot, you're super-fuckin pissed. We're all real emotional. But you're barking up the wrong tree. I know this man, and he wouldn't do that" White pleaded with Joe.
"You don't know jack shit. I do.This cock sucker tipped off the cops and got Mr. Brown and Mr.Blue killed."Joe growled
"Mr. Blue is dead" Mr. Pink asked
"Dead as Dillinger" Joe replied.
"The mother fucker shot Vic" Tess yelled from where she was lying. Joe looked back at her tear stained face and then at Eddie.
"Take him to Frankie tell him it's urgent." he said to Eddie before turning back to Mr. Orange. Eddie ran up to his sister,still holding the diamonds and helped her pick Vic up taking him to her car and driving away.
"How do you know all this?"White asked.
"He was the only one I wasn't a hundred percent on. I should have my fucking head examined for going forward when I wasn't a hundred percent."He said almost to himself
"That's your proof?" White asked
"You don't need proof when you've got instinct. I've ignored mine before but no more" Joe said pointing a gun at Mr. Orange. Mr. White drew up his gun and pointed it at Joe.
"Joe you're making a terrible mistake that I can't let you make.If you kill that man, you die next. Repeat-you kill that man you die next."
"C,mon guys" Mr Pink exclaimed attempting to knock some sense into them both. "Nobody wants this" he continued "We're supposed to be fucking professionals"
"God damn you Joe, don't make me do this". Finally Joe shoots Mr.Orange, White shoots Joe and from reflex Joe shoots again tagging White in the chest. Pink looks at the men lying on the floor and runs out of the ware house when he hears the police sirens.He takes Joe's car keys and leaves in his car driving towards the mexican border.
Mr. White and Mr. Orange are left in the warehouse, both of them shot.
"Larry, I'm a cop" Orange breaths "I'm sorry"he continues. White begins to cry bringing up his gun to rest between Mr. Oranges eyes. Cops run into the warehouse yelling for White to drop his gun. Mr. White looks at the cops still crying and pulls the trigger killing Mr. Orange after which he's shot down.
