Hero Wanted Page #3

---

l said we got to talk!

l'm trying to get some.

Take it easy.

Get up.

Beat it!

Let's go.

What's up?

Someone killed Skinner's brother.

l'm sorry, man.

What happened?

He was beat to death.

With a wok.

A what?

A wok. Chinese skillet.

Doesn't make any sense, though.

l mean, Lynch, he was...

Who do you guys think it was?

Do the math. lt was Liam.

l ain't buying that sh*t.

Not on his f***ing

best day of his life

is he gonna kill your brother.

No, l'm telling you,

he's unbalanced.

lf ''unbalanced'' means ''drunk''...

You know what, hero boy

was in the news for one minute,

and he hasn't seen

a single one of us since he came to.

Yeah, there's a reason

for that, too.

'Cause he thinks one of you

are gonna hurt the girl.

You're a clever f***ing boy.

Give yourself a round of applause.

'Course he knows we're gonna

hurt the girl, but l'm tellin' you,

freak show does not have

the juice to f*** your brother.

l sit here and l listen

to you guys chatter,

no facts coming out

of either one of you.

Only fact is

my little brother's dead.

Yeah, we'll fix it. We'll do it.

Yeah, we will.

Let's say we go

to Liam Case's place.

That's what you want?

That's a done deal.

Sh*t. Sh*t.

- Hi.

- Hi.

lt's just me.

Are you busy?

- Mind if l come in a minute?

- Sure.

Thanks.

l'm sorry about the mess.

Please, don't apologize.

l'm the one who should

be saying l'm sorry.

- For what?

- For just... dropping by like this.

l hate it when people come

to my house unannounced.

l don't mind.

How is she doing today?

Oh, you know...

What's it been, three months now?

Three months without a change.

l'm sorry.

Oh, don't.

Please, Liam.

You didn't shoot her.

Hey, come here.

Have a seat.

l don't want to talk

about my daughter tonight.

Seems like all l do

is talk about my daughter,

think about my daughter.

lt's like l don't... have a life,

you know,

of my own, you know?

lt's like sometimes l...

think that l just wish she'd die

so that l could just carry on.

Don't say that.

Sorry.

Most of the time l'm...

l wish it was me that was dead.

l know how you feel, Melanie.

How could you?

This is kind of embarrassing.

Would it be all right

if l spent the night here,

you know, just for a little while?

Oh, yes.

Please, l really can't go back

to that empty house.

l can't.

MeIanie feeIs she's got

nothing Ieft to Iive for.

It's a feeIing I know aII too weII.

Oh, man, do we have work to do.

Yeah.

Now, first thing, turn off

the movie in your head.

Support the bottom of your gun

with the left hand.

Stop it from kicking you

in the face.

Now, you won't always

have time to use the sights,

but whenever you can,
