Ethan hurries to his car, with the intent of going to Gabriel's house. He tries to reach Gabriel via cell phone to make sure he's at home but to no avail. He hits his car in a rage and zooms off.
While Gabriel is at Father's house, Father tries to encourage him.
Father: Gabriel, please don't give up, God is...
Gabriel (angry): Don't even mention God in this. Don't! I don't even know what I'm doing here. Where is my phone?
Father (looks around): Maybe we forgot it in your car. Don't worry, we can go...
Gabriel: No sir. I will just go home and sleep. I'm very tired
Father (surprised at the change of attitude): Gabriel, maybe it's best you sleep here. I can ask my wife to prepare the guest room for you
Gabriel: No thank you sir, at least the house is not far from here. I need some peace and quiet
Father (suspicious): Are you sure you will be fine?
Gabriel: Yes, I will, thank you for all you've been doing. I’ve to go now
Gabriel stands up and walks to the door when...
Father: Gabriel…
Gabriel (turns towards father): I'm fine Sir, see you tomorrow
Gabriel goes away while Father watches in obvious surprise.
Father (in deep thoughts): I have to follow this young man and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid. God please help me
Son (comes to the living room and says to Father): Dad, Dad...
Father: Hey Son, what is the problem?
Son: Nothing Dad, I just wanted to know if I can use your car tomorrow. Mine is still under repairs
Father: Erm I will talk to you later on this. Tell your mother that I will be back soonest, I'm going to see Gabriel
Son: Alright Dad
Father dashes out of the house and drives towards Gabriel's house.
Gabriel gets home to discover in amazement that his door is unlocked, and the lights are on. Someone seems to be shouting his name and looking for him frantically. He enters into the house and to his shock, it's Ethan with a gun.
Gabriel tries to run away but Ethan stops him.
Ethan: Don't even dare, you bastard!
Gabriel (scared): What are you doing in my house, wi…wi..with a gun?
Ethan (shouts): Just shut up and kneel down. I said kneel down!
Gabriel kneels down and Ethan continues: She was going to be mine, it was a matter of weeks or days but all of a sudden, you…, you came along and took her away from me
Gabriel (confused): Ethan, what are you talking about? Who...?
Ethan (interrupts): Don't even try to make a fool of me. You are the one about to be shot down!
Gabriel (shaking): Please Ethan, remember we are friends
Ethan (laughs): You are my friend huh... Gabriel, you are my friend. Let me define your type of friendship for you, fake maggot.
Yours includes always having to take away everything I ever longed for.
I was supposed to be the next CEO of any company to be set up but you, you, Gabriel came and suddenly my chairman decided that you are the only one fit for the company he wanted to establish; and as if that is not enough, in just 2 years, he left the company in your hands and I got sacked from his own company. To mock me, you decided to make me your secretary and belittle my status in the society.
You always had the girls at your beck and call, in our university days but you chose to rather take away the only one I ever loved, Chandice
Gabriel (shocked at the revelation): My Chandice?!!!
Ethan (slaps him with the gun): Shut up!!! Just shut your wide mouth up!!! Who is your Chandice? The one who is about to die for a crime she never committed? You didn't even give your life for hers... I could have done that because guess what, I love her, you don't!
Gabriel (still shaking and bleeding from the mouth): But you never told me you liked Chandice and she never told me you two dated
Ethan (responds angrily): That was because you once again became my obstacle. I knew she liked me, but you with your fake Jesus born again terms, you brainwashed her!
Gabriel (pleading): Bro, I will never betray you and you know that. I never knew you even liked my wife and moreover, she never mentioned you to me
Ethan: Why would she? She would have seen how priceless I am if that stupid Reggie of a woman didn't mess things up
Gabriel: Reggie?
Ethan: Amber, yes Amber! Of course, you didn't know she was going to be a he soonest. You even hardly know what goes on in your home.
If the plan went well, Chandice would be happy together with me and Amber will become Reginald. (Laughs at a surprised Gabriel) How would you know what Amber was doing in your house while you are busy chasing money twenty-four-seven (24/7), or being the good Christian man, the honourable boss of all time? “Mr born again, Jesus here Jesus there” while poor Chandice is sexually and emotionally starved.
(Gabriel starts getting very angry while Ethan continues mocking him)
You barely know your wife, her favourite books, movies, scenes, her likes, dislikes, how and where she likes to be held, ...you know nothing of Chandice except the name
Gabriel (angry and in tears): Ethan, what have you done? You killed Amber and ruined my home all because she chose me over you?!
Ethan (shouts): No, I did all that to take back what belongs rightfully to me this time, but you these fake born again fools never give up.
Well, it doesn't matter now. Chandice won't have to complain of her frustrations with you to me anymore, because someone is about to meet his Jesus today
Gabriel (shouts back): And to think I trusted you? To think I chose to see the good in you when everyone held a different opinion about you
Ethan (brings out a rope from his bag and ties Gabriel's hands and legs): Don't worry, I will manage Chandice on your behalf. It's all well prepared. A suicide note with your confession written out in details, because only the assassin will know how Amber died (laughs), and uh my favourite part; your death will look like the classical pitiful scene of self-poisoning
Gabriel (shouts): You won't get away with this!
Ethan: Oops sorry, bad news, I will, and you will watch from hell, as I give Chandice the best of love she never had from you
As Ethan is still talking… Father comes to the premises and sees Gabriel's door open. Ethan goes to bring out the bottle of poison from his bag when Father rushes in, thinking the worst...
Father (shouts): Gab...
Ethan (turns towards Father and points the gun at Father): And who do we have here?
Father (surprised): Ethan?!
Ethan: Ehen... Kneel down over there
Father (kneels): What is happening here?
Gabriel: He killed Amber Sir, my wife is innocent!
Ethan (shouts): Shut that trap up!
Father: Please don't do this Ethan, please...
Ethan: Keep quiet or I'll shoot you first
