EXT. CITY STREET – NIGHT<\/p>\n

A middle-aged black WOMAN cradles a bloody, lifeless young teen in her arms. WILL, a tall black teenager stands next to her. Sirens wail in the distance.<\/p>\n

CU on Will’s face.<\/p>\n

Snitch got what he deserved.<\/p>\n

CUT TO:<\/p>\n

Medium shot. Sirens closing in.<\/p>\n

WOMAN<\/p>\n

Baby, you gotta get outta here. Go!<\/p>\n

Will pauses a moment, then runs. Camera lingers on him running away, then cuts back to woman and child.<\/p>\n

A funky bass riff starts playing. Quick cuts of the city streets – random violence on display everywhere. Muggers, prostitutes, pimps, and dealers on every corner. Cops beating a suspect in the middle of the street. The bass is joined by a small combo and continues through the trailer.<\/p>\n

CARLTON, a short but muscular teen, enters the room wearing a bow tie. He’s got a shotgun trained at Will.<\/p>\n

He came to town an outsider, but became royalty.<\/p>\n
