Time passes; Jermaine and Sam are drinking and smoking, not paying much attention to CJ.

Jermaine: Yo Sam, I heard you got your hands on some of that white?

Sam: Yeah. Shifting the lot bit by bit. Making a shit load of money outta it!

Jermaine: Jheeeeeze.

As time passes Jermaine and Sam are becoming more and more unaware of their surroundings and the fact that CJ isn’t actually drinking or smoking and that he is just sitting there. Biding his time.

CJ: Yo Sam, you got a toilet?

Sam: Yeah...

CJ gets up to go to the toilet. Sam and Jermaine remain seated and continue in their activities.
CJ goes to Sam’s room and starts searching for the cocaine.

CJ: Fuck man where could he possibly keep it?

CJ looks underneath the bed and finds a shoebox. He opens it and discovers one of the bags of cocaine.

CJ: Bingo.

CJ returns to the main living room.

CJ (anxiously): Yo guys, I gotta cut yeah. We’ll meet up again soon init.

Jermaine gets up to say bye to CJ and shakes his hand.

Jermaine: Ite safe darg, holla me later init.

Sam leaves and goes to his room. He takes the shoebox out from under his bed, only to discover that someone has stolen the cocaine. Sam runs back to the main room.

Sam: Jermaine it’s fucking gone!

Jermaine: What do you mean?!

Sam: Someone fucking stole some of my coke!

The guys go quiet for a minute to think.

As CJ approaches his house, he realises Sam and Jermaine are there. Waiting for him.

Sam: Thought you could steal from me yeah?

Jermaine: CJ I trusted you man.

CJ: Wait wait, it’s not what it looks like. I can explain!

Sam: Explain.

CJ turns, jumps on his skateboard and begins to flee.

Sam: Fuck! Get him!

Sam and Jermaine mount their bikes and begin to chase after him.
After a short chase, CJ turns into a dead end road. He is trapped.

Sam: End of the line man. You shouldn’t have stolen from me.

CJ: Please man, I have the stuff at my house, I’ll give it back. Please just let me go.

Sam pulls out a gun and points it at CJ.

CJ: Please, I’m begging you.

CJ puts his hands out pleadingly.

Jermaine slaps them away.

Jermaine: I trusted you bro.

Sam cocks the gun back.

Sam: Stole from the wrong guy man.

Sam shoots CJ.

Sam (Voiceover): I thought that was the end of it; but that was just the beginning.
