We have figured in order to bring someone back to life we must use from 200 to somewhere around 500 volts of electricity for a fraction of a second, anything more and the heart combusts.  

Samuel moves to aways from the notes and switches to another computer of information and types in the numbers

Samuel: The calculations are correct *Sighs* This has to work... Please *deep breath* Just let it work

Samuel goes walks away from the computer to start the plan but the computer starts to glitch out

Samuel: God Da- What's going on

The dream

James wakes up from bed after a headache

James: (My head feels like it's spinning) 

Luna yells out.

Luna: Guys I made breakfast!

And the conversation starts.

Aaron: Yo Seriously? That's the first.

Luna: is that a problem?

Samuel: No. It's just... It's kinda out of the ordinary.

James walks into the kitchen

Luna: Oh hey James. you're finally up.

Aaron: Damn! I thought he died.

James: Shut up Aaron. Uh, Thanks for the ibuprofen, Samuel.

Samuel: No problem James! but I think that you're lying about that headache.

James: What do you mean by that?

Samuel: Don't you remember what happened a few years ago?

Luna: What happened a few years ago?

James: Oh just something personal.

Aaron: Dude. We're supposed to be honest with each other. plus it was a few years ago you can tell us.

James: You wouldn't- (Phone alarm rings) Oh god! I'm gonna be late for my Doctor's appointment. see you guys when I get back.

Samuel: I'll drive you.

James: you sure?

Samuel: I'm heading to work anyways so might as well.

James: Thanks. See you guys.

Samuel and James walk to the car and drive off to the doctors. Once they arrived at the Clinic Samuel parks his car.  

Samuel: Are you ever going to tell them?

James: No. Cause I feel like they're gonna turn they're back on me, if I tell them what I did.

Samuel: You won't know until you try.

James: I know it for a fact cause... What do you think happened to the other friend group? Huh, tell me?

Samuel: Ok I understand bu-

James: They left me called me insane, and other sickening names to the point where I regretted telling them when I didn't want to, I will NOT have that happen again

Samuel: Look I'm sorry for bringing that up, it was pretty disrespectful of me

James: Just leave me the hell alone Ok!

James leaves the car and slams the car door he walks in the hospital and checks himself in, 20 minutes go by and he leaves the hospital. He remembers the argument with Samuel and feels bad for what he did. He calls Aaron on the phone. The Phone call went

Aaron: Hello?

James: Hey uh I was at the... Doctors and uh I need you to pick me up.

Aaron: Uh ok... Are you alright James?

James: No, I kinda lashed out on Samuel and I feel bad.

Aaron: Nah, don't be. He'll forget about it

James: I know but the thing is, I don't think he'll forgive me.

Aaron: I'm sure he'll forgive you, James just don't worry about it.

James: Thanks, man..... So are you gonna pick me up?

Aaron: Oh yeah! I'm going.

James: You're pretty slow aren't you

Aaron: Shut up or I'm not picking you up

James: Alright just pick me up it's getting cold

Aaron: Hey luna I'm gonna pick James up, be right back ok

James hangs up the phone and starts to wander off through the parking lot he doesn't notice a hooded man and Bumps into him the encounter being

???: Watch where you're going

The voice sounds distorted and full of echoes

James: Oh I'm so sorry I didn't mean to-

???: Fuck your apologies, Give me your wallet.

James: Excuse me?

??? Give me your wallet. Now!

The hooded man takes out a strange silver pistol

James: Hey, we don't wanna have to escalate the situation, now do we?

???: What do you have!

James: I have nothing sir I swear

???: Empty your pockets now!

James: Ok Ok...

James desperately goes through his pockets and tosses his Phone, Wallet, and ID on the ground

James: I that's all I have!

???: you said you had nothing, you lying bitch!

James: I don't have anything else! There is nothing in them!

???: Your names, James. huh!

James: Huh?

The strange hooded man starts to repeat James' name James tries to cover his ears but his names just seem to get louder and louder until Aaron Violently shakes James

Aaron: JAMES!!

James: Huh?!

Aaron: Why do you have a pistol!

James: What are you-!?

James Looks at his right hand realizing he was holding The Silver pistol the the hooded man had but this one had a strange symbol on it 

James: Aaron, I swear, I didn't have this pistol.

Aaron: Pick up your stuff, and get in the car. Now!

James: Aaron!

Aaron: Now James!

Aaron gets in his car and waits for James to pick up his stuff. James hurries to pick up his stuff and gets in the car. They start to drive back to the house during the ride home. The conversation went like.

Aaron: Why won't you tell me how in god's name you got that pistol!

James: I Swear I didn't have this pistol!

Aaron: Then how did you obtain the pistol!

James: I don't know, that's the thing.

James Out of curiosity takes the clip out of the gun and analyzes it

Aaron: Don't mess with it!

Aaron snatches the gun and throws it in the back of the car Aaron and James arrives home and Aaron parks the car as they both exit the car Luna walks outside the conversation goes

Luna: Hey guys.

Aaron: This Idiot Bought a gun.

Luna: What Why!?

James: I didn't- *sighs* even if I told you guys you wouldn't believe me!

James walks inside the house and to his room to then

James: How the hell did I get this gun? This gun is the same one that the guy was holding! How did I manage to grab it? I have so many questions, I'm so confused, was the guy real? Am I just imagining this? It can't be imaginary he was there! How did Aaron not see him?

As James thinks about what had happened at the Clinics parking lot a knock at James' room was heard.

James: Hello?

???: you took something that's mine and now you must pay the consequences

James: what do you mean! How the hell did you get here!

???: I'd tell you but someone is coming

James: Who!?

The Hooded Spirit Disappears and James can hear yelling

Luna: Hey James! You alright? Why were you yelling?

James rushes to the door and opens it and tell Luna

James: I have seen shit Luna...you have to believe me! I keep hearing this voice...It was the guy who gave me the gun and-

Luna: Damn it! James, you're messing around why would I believe you, you lie almost all the time I don't know if you're serious anymore!

James: I swear I'm telling the-

Luna: Just Stop!

Aaron: everything alright over here?

Luna storms off, Aaron looking puzzled he goes with Luna to calm her down, James closes the door and sits on his bed.

James: have I seriously done that all the time?

???: See. They don't believe you! So are they actually, your friends? They don't even want to hear what you have to say about me, it's kind of pointless to have them if you ask me.

James: don't say that about them! I know they care.

???: How can you say that they care if all they do is yell at you, and tell you to stop doing things you enjoy. They hurt you all the time and try to prove how strong they are. So I want to help you show them who's really, strong. Tell you what if you use the gun I gave you by midnight then you won't see me

James: use as in what way?

???: you can use is as an Intimidation or shoot it and not hurt anyone

James: so use it to scare my friends?

???: Yes. Exactly

James: No! I won't do it You're Insane

???: Well then. I'll be seeing you soon.

The hooded man disappears. James starts to think about the idea and thinks about the consequence of what could happen but Aaron walks in

Aaron: Hey James you alright? Luna is having a fit. sorry about that, once her temper tantrum ends I'm sure she'll apologize to you

James: alright... Hey, Aaron, I'll be right back ok imma go somewhere. Can I drive your car?

Aaron: Sure just be back by 7 ok.

James: alright.

James goes and grabs the keys and see Nora walk down the sidewalk

Nora: where are you going?

James: I'm going somewhere. Aaron needs help taking care of Luna she's very upset right now

Nora: Noted

James walks to the car and drives off he stops at a red light and thinks to himself

James: So if I did intimidate my friends then that guy will leave me the hell alone?...but the question is...how doesn't Luna and Aaron see him? Is he just my conscious? I don't know anymore. if I did what he said would he leave me alone?

James drives to a fast food joint so he can buy food for the roommates. He walks inside and is greeted by an Employee. The conversation went

Employee: Welcome to our Country Side Fried Chicken what would you like to order today

James: I'd like 5 large cups and 1 twenty-four piece chicken wings

Employee: alright your order will be ready soon your number is 21

James: alright

Employee: Oh here's five large cups

James: Thanks (Wait he looks like Malachi)

James starts to shake and everything starts to feel slow and then Past James runs into the CSFC and the food joint everything slowly turns into the house he moved to years ago

Malachi: Come here! You need to pay me back!

James: Oh God Just leave me alone! Shit shit shit what do I do ...wait!

Past James runs to the knife drawer and pulls out a knife as Malachi breaks through the door

Malachi: Come here James You need to give me my money you Swine-

James stabbed Malachi once, and Malachi started to fall to the ground. and past James starts to repeatedly stab Malachi then stops James drops the knife and starts to break down

James:  I'm sorry! I didn't mean to, I swear! 

He gets he's emotions together after a few minutes and thinks

James: I have to find an escape I have to hide the body I can't let anyone know about this

Past James goes and puts Malachi's body in a bag filled with clothes and buries it outside in the back. James goes running inside and sits down in shock and, Then Present James starts tearing up and he wipes his eyes he is back as CSFC And the employee gives James a strange look and asked if he is ok but James chooses not to answer and snatches the cups he walks to the Drink dispenser and thinks to himself.

James: Why did I just start remembering that moment? It was 7 years ago...I didn't mean to kill him...it was self-defense! if I hadn't done anything would I be alive right now? If I hadn't grabbed the knife what could've happened? I still can't believe I had done that.

He gets the drinks filled with sodas and his order was ready he drives back home. once he got home he checks his watch and the clock reads 7:45. He goes inside and puts the food on the table Aaron walks from the living room and pushes James to the ground

James: What the hell dude?

Aaron: What did I fucking tell earlier about my car!

James: I know, Why are mad at me? It was only 45 minutes!

Aaron: Nora and I had plans today! She's always busy, and today was her only day off after a few months of work. And you ruined that chance! Just to get some bullshit food.

James: Ok I'm sorry-

Aaron: Oh my god, I'm gonna fucking kill you!

James stays on the floor in shock. A knock on the door was heard and Aaron goes to answer the door Jackson was on the other side.

Jackson: Hey Aaron, What's sup

Aaron: Sup dude

Their chat becomes distinct and James gets up and goes to his room and shuts the door and plops onto the bed thinking and then takes a nap he wakes up afterward from the weirds flashes of images including a gunshot

James: What the Fu-...what time is it?

He grabs his phone and it reads 11:59 Pm

James: Ya Know. Now I know for a fact that my imagination is fucking with me, I must have found the pistol on the ground and... picked it up...What kind of friend would I be if I used the weapon to scare my friends?

James grabs the gun and analyzes it and throws it on the couch and walks out of the room. But something seems to pull James back from leaving the room

???: Where do you think you're going?

James: Wait!? You're real!

James's door gets shut immediately. And the hooded spirit mocks James.

???: What kind of friend would I be if I used the weapon to scare my friend- of course I'm real! So. since you decided to cancel the agreement we made, guess it's my job, to make you relive a memory you refuse to commemorate cause I sure did.

James: Wait what are you doing

??? I'm going to make sure you remember what happened to Malachi

James: What do you mean?

The hooded spirit disappears and Posses James. James is not able to talk physically but mentally. But the hooded Spirit was able to use James' voice as his own.

James: Wait what's going on?

???: Kick back relax and enjoy the show

The hooded Man Grabs the gun and puts it in his jacket
