Aftermath

01. Released   David Singue has been in prison in Ohio for a little over four years for the robbery of a bank in Columbus. On his last day, he awakes quite peacefully. He sits up and looks around. He hadn’t slept much, but he surprisingly not too tired. His cell mate on the top bunk gets up and jumps down to the floor. Shortly there after, the guard down the hall calls breakfast and all the barred doors slid open. Outside, David meets up with his friend Jim Lucas, whose cell is on the level below David's. On the way to breakfast, David and Jim recall how they met over a year and a half ago. After breakfast, David reminds Jim that he is getting out that afternoon and they probably won't see each other until they both get out. David tells Jim to find him on the outside. David says he plans of starting a business and he'd like to hire Jim.

02. Finding a Friend   A year and a half later, David is finally done with his parole. He has been living in the Columbus, Ohio, area. He had been following the NASCAR circuit the past few months and he sets out to follow the circuit. Last he heard, his old friend Kurt Nuarl was a mechanic for one of the drivers. After a few weeks of checking out security, he thinks he's found a way in. David thought the race is so much different (and better) from the pit area. An hour or so later, David finds Kurt sitting in the pit area waiting to be called on. David sneaks up on Kurt and scares him. When Kurt realized that it was David who scared him, they both laughed pretty hard. Kurt was obviously very excited to see David.

03. Together Again   After the race, Kurt takes David to a local bar that he usually goes to. After a few minutes of silence with their beers, Kurt decides to break the silence. He asks David what had happened. David explains that the plan was his and he decided to take the majority of the money. Kurt tells David that he had left right after Tony and John decided to phone in an anonymous tip. After they settled their business, David and Kurt have a good time reviving old memories and stories. After the night and a lot of drinks, David tells Kurt that he will take him to where he buried the money and that Kurt can get a larger share.

04. Return to the Woods   A month later, while Kurt is on a vacation from work, David and Kurt set out to the woods. After passing through Cincinnati, David, who is driving, thinks that they are being followed. After another hour or so, David is quite sure they are being followed. Kurt looks back and sees that it is Tony and John. Still driving, David works with Kurt on a plan to deal with the two. David goes north of where the money is buried and wait for Tony and John to make their move.

05. Followed   David and Kurt arrive at the woods; grab shovels out of the trunk, and head into the woods. David knows that Tony and John are not far behind so he leads them away from where the money is. Arriving to a wooded area at the top of a ridge, David decides to stop walking and start digging. After half an hour, David and Kurt have a pretty good hole dug. David says that 'they have it' a little louder than was necessary and Tony and John come out from behind some trees. David pulls Kurt out of the hole and they run off to regroup. David and Kurt turn around and charge back to the hole.

06. Escape   Realizing David and Kurt are coming back and that there is nothing in the hole; Tony and John flee back to their cars. David and Kurt chase after Tony and John. The pair of cars race down the interstate back towards Columbus. Once in the city, Kurt, who is driving now, starts gaining on Tony and John. The road gets tighter and traffic increases and the chase gets harder for both drivers. Tony makes a hard left through on-coming traffic and barely makes it. Kurt tries a similar maneuver, but is hit by another car. Kurt swerves to miss any more cars, but they've lost Tony and John.

07. New Life   A few hours later and back on the road, David wants to go after Tony and John. This is his chance to get back at the men who put him away for four years. But Kurt is reluctant. Kurt is thinking about everything he has accomplished and everything he has going for him. After discussing it with David, Kurt says that he is not going after Tony and John and that he is going home. David is unswayed and he heads to Pennsylvania to look up a friend who has a knack of finding people who are lost.

08. Finding an Enemy   At a cyber cafe outside Pittsburg, David checks his email and sees that his friend is online. David sends an instant message to see if it's cool that he stops by and gets an 'okay' reply back. Arriving at an apartment building not far from the cyber cafe, David knocks on the door and his friend Jim (from prison) answers and greets him with a hug. After catching up, David explains the situation and the services he needs from Jim. Jim quickly corrects David, saying his handle is now 0utR1ght. David says his handle has been Wolf for a long time. 0utR1ght says it will probably take a few days, but he should be able to locate Tony and John without too much trouble. After two long days of searching, 0utR1ght says that he's found them. David asks 0utR1ght to get some surveillance, while David asks Kurt one more time.

09. The Break-In   A couple days later, David arrives at Kurt's apartment outside Richmond, Virginia. Walking up to the door, he sees that the door is open an inch or two. Fearing the worst, David gets his gun out and, holding in front of him, slowly enters the apartment. In the living area, David sees that someone else has been here as the place has been turned over. Then David hears someone in the back. There is an occasional grunting and the sound of things being toppled over. David quietly moves towards the back hallway. As he reaches the hallway, the sounds stop but David continues. Then John, a former lineman, jumps out from some room and runs David into the hallway wall. With a grunt of his own, David falls to the floor in serious pain as John runs out of the apartment.

10. Floored   It had defiantly been a while since David was in that much pain. Still lying on the floor ten minutes later, he wonders if anything is broken. Then he hears some one enter the apartment. He picks up his gun and aims it down the hallway towards the living room. Kurt walks around the corner and spots David on the floor. David notices that he has a bloody nose and he is limping a little. Kurt says that he saw John leave and they fought outside, but John ran off after a few minutes. David says that he thinks John was looking for the money, and then Kurt says that he was just out hiding it elsewhere. David says he knows where Tony and John are hiding in Columbus.

11. Two Garages   Having agreed to join David, Kurt takes David to his garage. David and Kurt work on deciding on the best way to attack the hideout and come up with a strategy using the surveillance that 0utR1ight had provided. Kurt suggests a frontal assault and he shows David a customized armored car that he's been working on for the past few years. David agrees. They load the car into Kurt's trailer and drive back to Columbus where David had been staying. David takes Kurt to a garage that he's been renting. When David opens it, Kurt is surprised to see that David had constructed a gun cage inside with fortified walls and mounts for pretty much any kind of gun one could want. The guns range from pistols, assault rifles and David's coveted sniper rifle. David picks out a few guns for Kurt and several for himself and they head out towards Tony and John's hideout.

12. Assault   Tony and John's hideout is an old office & warehouse building for industrial parts in the south east area of Columbus. David and Kurt arrive a little past midnight and park a quarter mile away. David gets out and packs his guns in various holsters around his body and Kurt readies is guns and puts them on the front seat of the car. David runs up to the front entrance and picks the lock while Kurt races around to the back. David quietly moves through the small office and doesn't find anyone so he moves back to the warehouse area.

13. Final Fight   Sneaking around the warehouse looking for Tony and John, David hears some gun fire, but he hasn't seen anyone yet. David decides to get a higher view of things so he looks up and spots a catwalk and locates the ladder. While David is going to the ladder he meets up with Kurt. Kurt says that he killed John, but he hasn’t seen Tony yet. David says that he's going to get some higher ground and suggests that Kurt head toward the warehouse entrance to keep Tony from escaping. David gets up the ladder and starts looking for Tony. Then he hears Tony call out to him, saying that he has Kurt. David spots the pair and Tony has Kurt at gunpoint but it doesn’t look like Tony knows where David is. So, David quietly makes his way down the catwalk to get a better shot. He lines up Tony's head in his sites and pulls the trigger. Kurt is splattered in blood as both of them fall to the ground. When David gets there, Kurt is sitting up; he says that he can't believe David shot him. David just snickers.

14. Breakfast   At the Diner Deluxe on the north end of town, around 5:00 AM, 0utR1ght is waiting with David's jeep. David and Kurt pull up in Kurt's now mildly damaged armored car. David hands 0utR1ght an envelope, saying thanks. 0utR1ght checks the envelope and sees the amount of money inside and says ‘thanks’ as well. David then offers 0utR1ght a job of doing similar work for him. 0utR1ght agrees and they decide to meet later and he leaves. David and Kurt then go inside to have some breakfast. While they're eating, David asks Kurt what he's planning on doing now. Kurt says that he's heading back to the NASCAR circuit ('where things aren’t as exciting'). David says that he's planning on finally moving to New York City like he's always wanted to.
