One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonging to him and the other to the Lord. When the last scene if his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. 'Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I do not understand why when I needed you most, you would leave me.' The Lord replied 'My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it is when I carried you.'

Williams: Horror. Horror god damn it turn around and look at me.
(Horror makes a swift turn around)
“What do you want Dave? I am not in the mood to hear your bitching right now. I have enough on my mind as it is.”
Williams: Bitching? You call me worrying about your sorry ass ‘bitching?’ You looked like a freaking amateur out there in that ring tonight. You were completely out of it. Obo pimped you out there and just took it. If that happens Sunday consider yourself fired because Wayne is not going to want a deadweight lackey dragging down his ratings.
“You don’t think I am worried about that? I care about my job. But those damn titles are the last thing on my mind right now. If you knew what I have been through these last two months you would drown in the pressure” he said in a melancholy tone “Yeah, I want to put on a show but for god’s sakes man, have a heart. You did not have your worst enemy escape from jail and come after you with a vengeance. You did not have your best friend gunned down right in front of you. Then throw the ‘my jobs in jeopardy’ thing into the mix, you come out with a pretty volatile mood, correct?”
Williams: Why the hell do you care about them now?
(Horror grabs Williams by the shirt and rams him into the wall)
“I have always cared about them and this entire situation. So don’t you dare say that I did not care about them at all!”
Williams: Get your hands off of me you freaking baboon.
(Horror releases)
“What the hell…” he continues to murmur while Williams talks.
Williams: If you would have let me finish, I was going to say I thought you were over them more than you were acting. But you have only been having these mood swings since, well……since you started getting those texts a week ago! Shawn, who sent you those texts. Those have to be the reason…
“Dave, do me a favor and just leave me the hell alone tonight. I will be fine tomorrow. Just go back to the hotel and have a drink or strategize for our title match, or hell do both! I do not care. I just need to be alone tonight.”
(Horror picks up his bag and walks away, however he accidentally left his phone behind.)
Williams: Ah well, I’ll take it back to the hotel for him. Bastard does not even deserve me doing that.
*ring*
Williams: Well as a friend, and a concerned one at that, I think I have the right to know what this person is texting. Let’s see ‘Remember…Mitchell Park. Be alone, or she is dead!?’ What the hell? I better get over there!
<><><><><><><><><><>
(Horror is walking down a poorly lit street surrounded on either end by brick row-houses. He is being very fidgety with his hands. It is obvious he is nervous but there is a ton of anger radiating off of him as well.)
“God, what have I done to deserve this? What have I done to have my one best friend dead and the other one kidnapped by a guy who makes Ed Gein look like a saint? I mean, I go to church every week. I don’t lie. I am not egotistical. So tell me, you say you walk with all of us, yet why am I the one walking solo? Why do I feel the same anger and hatred now and when Xana was killed years ago? God I am usually a free spirit, but I really need a friend here. Please god, carry me through this dark time, and the darker time awaiting me.”
<><><><><><><><><>
(Walking through the gates of Mitchell Park in the dead of night, Horror looks like a broken man. There is an eerie feeling exerting itself form the park.)
“I do not like this at all,” he says in a hush tone. Then his voice rises “Jacob you sadistic son of a bitch; come out here and face me like a man!”
(There is a quick snap and click sound and before he knows it, the back of his head directly in front of a cold, locked-and-loaded 9mm handled by a tall, heavyweight thug.)
Thug: Come with me.
“Where’s Julia and Jacob? Where!”
Thug: Over there. Stop asking questions.
….
Jacob: Ah Shawn. How are you?
“Better once you’re dead.”
Jacob: Shawn, you are very right. Someone will be dying tonight, but it will not be me. Actually, three people will be dying.
“How three, Jacob?”
Jacob: Julia, yourself, and your little boyfriend Dave.
“Dave?! How?!”
Jacob: Brick found him snooping around the South gates 10 minutes ago.
(‘Brick’ comes out underneath the tree with Williams in hand.)
“Dave…no…”
Jacob: Now, I am sure you are wondering where the ‘main attraction’ is? But my friend, why make her death come faster than it must. And besides, why do you even care about either of these two? Julia left you because you were a selfish bastard. And Dave is nothing more than your mere follower. I mean Shawn, I have seen your work, and why keep this deadweight you call a friend around when he is doing nothing but holding you down.
(Jacob yanks Dave in front of him and points a gun to the head of Dave.)
Jacob: So just say the word, and I can send you straight to the top.
Maybe I should. I have not won a match since Dave and I started working together. Before we got together, I always won. I was getting somewhere. But now look, I have been reduced to the half-life tag team division. And since he and I have started teaming together, my personal life has gone to hell. Jacob came after me. Jess died. Jacob kidnapped Julia. Maybe he is a bad luck charm. No! I cannot. I could never harm anyone who cares about me. I could never harm the best friend I have had in a long time. That’s it! I asked God for a friend, and he sent him in advanced. My god, that’s it. I have had it.
“Jacob Michaels let them go. It was me you wanted to begin with. Let them go!”
Jacob: Not yet my friend. But you are right, it was you I wanted to begin with. And I know how I am going to get you. Get her.
(‘Brick’ goes to the car at the close entrance and grabs Julia who was tied up in the back. She keeps kicking and screaming.)
Julia: Let me go…now!
Jacob: She never shuts up, does she?
Julia: Shawn! What are you doing here? You should not have come.
“Oh yeah, you know I love staring down the chamber of a gun.”
Williams: Will you two please shut the hell up?
Jacob: Thank you. Brick, give me the girl.
(‘Brick’ trades Julia for Dave. Jacob cocks the gun.)
“Jacob, I will not let you get away with this.”
Jacob: Oh yeah, how so? Last time I checked I have your girlfriend tied up, same with your other friend, and I have a friend with a gun to the back of your head…
“No you do not. Yeah there is a guy behind me, but he is not your friend. A friend is someone who cares about you. A friend is someone who is there for you in good times and in bad. A friend is someone who would take a bullet for you. But I never realized how good friends I really had. Jake, take a single arrow, bend it, and it snaps. But take a team of arrows, and they will not bend let alone break. Much like those arrows, the three of us are unbreakable.”
Jacob: Don’t give me that fortune cookie crap. It will not work on me.
Julia: Are you sure?
Jacob: Shut up!
(Jacob throws Julia at the same time Horror breaks free. Jacob fires his gun towards Julia as she falls to the ground. Dave shoots his leg up, ultimately low blowing ‘Brick’. Dave and Horror are running at Jacob when Jacob turns his attention from a still Julia to a charging Dave Williams. Horror sees this and runs in Dave’s direction. Jacob dis-charges his gun towards Dave and Horror takes a massive leap towards Dave. The bullet grazed the right shoulder or Horror.)
Dave: What the hell did you do that for?
“What can I say? I had to be the center of attention.”
(Horror and Williams get up, and they are staring down Jacob.)
“Dave, go help Julia.”
(Williams runs towards the fallen Julia. Jacob points at Williams. Horror tackles Jacob, causing Jacob to drop his gun. Horror and Jacob start duking it out. Horror lifts Michaels up and rams him into the tree. Jacob, writhing in pain, starts pounding and elbowing Horror in the spine. Horror gets shoved hard down to the ground. As they are fighting…)
Williams: Julia, you ok?
Julia: Ugh..yeah, I will be fine. Help Shawn, please.
Williams: He told me to help you…
Julia: And I said help him.
Williams: Fine. Julia, did you see the gun that fell?
Julia: I…..it…….its over there I think…
Williams: Fine.
(Jacob knees Horror in the gut and runs towards the gun Williams was going for. They get there at the same time and they start battling. Dave kicks Jake hard in the stomach and catches the gun that had gone up in the air. Dave aims at Jake, but Jake swings his hands up and knocks the gun out of the hands of Williams, towards the fallen Julia. Jacob reaches into his hollister and pulls out two guns and points them at Horror and Dave.)
Jacob: That is it. I have had it with your childish shenanigans! This game is over! You two are dead.
(The shot heard round the world had nothing on this earth rattling shot. Horror and Williams look down, thinking they have been shot when Jacob Michaels falls straight down to the ground. Julia is holding a gun in which the smoked gunpowder is still seeping out of the gun.)
"Julia!"
Julia: Ugh...You two gotta get out of here.
Williams: You too, Julia. Come one. We gotta get you two to the hospital and get to the police station.
"Lets go."
(As they are walking away, a rustling in barely heard as Jacob Michaels twitches his finger.)
~Hallmark~

(Horror makes a swift turn around)
