I stand holding the gun as Lawry's friend slumps to the floor, a bullet in his gut and the life oozing out of him. "Well dipshit are you satisfied?" I say to Lawry as Elise jumps toward me and holds me. I cradle her as I continue chastising Lawry. "You fucking fool, because of you this whole plan has become unraveled, why didn't you stay out of this like you were told," I said angrily.
"Because I was looking out for Elise and her well being," he responded. "You're a liar, all you wanted from her was her money, and you were caught in the middle of your own scheme, I begged them to keep Carlson on and let you go with the understanding that you were, keep your mouth shut and enjoy your retirement, otherwise," I said to him making the cut your throat motion. Elise was crying in my arms as I tried to tell her the truth.
"Listen to me, I got you off that island because gangsters had taken it over and your trust fund as well, I got them to keep Carlson on to manage the fund but they said they would do it only if they had something on him," I said to her then turning to Lawry. "They made Carlson the patsy for the embezzlement you were caught doing by blackmailing him and threatening to turn him in to the SEC and the IRS, but it was you that should have been there, but if they did that they expose their own culpability in what was happening," I said as Elise noticed the bleeding man on the floor. "Evan! Look!" she said as I looked down. "Call the police and tell them there has been a shooting and to send an ambulance," which she did. "Looks like you just put your head into a noose Mr. Lawry," I said as she called. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN? YOU SHOT HIM!" he cried back. "Yeah, with his gun after a struggle, not a good situation and I am sure when they look at me they are going to notice the bump on my head," I said as I soothed my head's wound. With that Lawry ran out of the room. "Go ahead run, you have no idea what you have blown," I said as I looked at his friend's wound.
