neighborhood friends six of them plus

Jake and Emily make eight it's a rare
3:39
night out with babysitters on deck and a
3:41
vibe that says "We earned this." They
3:44
hit a fancy restaurant for dinner then
3:46
head to a club next to a hotel where
3:48
Jake and Emily booked a room for a
3:50
little romantic escape emily's looking
3:52
like a million bucks slim brunette in a
3:56
silky blue dress that hugs her just
3:58
right they're laughing dancing feeling
4:00
young again the club's alive music's
4:03
pumping drinks are flowing lights
4:05
flashing then in walks Ryan Carter a pro
4:08
linebacker who's a big deal around town
4:11
he's got this larger than-l life energy
4:13
rolling in with five others including a
4:16
stunning blonde with a diamond ring you
4:17
can't miss jake's friend Lisa leans over
4:20
and whispers that the blond's a
4:21
cheerleader engaged to Ryan it's just
4:25
club gossip no one thinks it'll matter
4:27
but Ryan's got his sights on Emily
4:30
halfway through the night he struts over
4:32
to their table acts like Jake doesn't
4:34
exist and asks Emily to dance jake's
4:38
caught off guard his stomach twisting he
4:41
tries to say something but Emily maybe
4:44
swept up in the moment maybe flattered
4:46
smiles and goes with Ryan not even
4:48
looking back jake's guts screaming but
4:51
he keeps it cool heading to the bar to
4:53
grab a coffee and clear his head from
4:55
the bar he watches Emily and Ryan on the
4:57
dance floor two fast songs go by and
5:00
Emily's laughing her face glowing
5:03
then a slow song kicks in and Emily's in
5:06
Ryan's arms pressed close swaying like
5:09
they're the only two people in the room
5:11
jake's blood's boiling but he stays put
5:14
gripping his coffee trying not to lose
5:16
it when the song ends Emily heads back
5:19
to the table looking rattled when she
5:21
sees Jake at the bar he walks over
5:24
sarcasm dripping and says "Hope you had
5:27
a blast out there." Lisa tries to play
5:30
it off like "It's just dancing Jake
5:32
relax." But Jake's not relaxing he's
5:35
hurt humiliated and pissed then it gets
5:38
worse
5:40
lisa comes back from the bathroom alone
5:42
jake's like "Where's Emily?" Lisa
5:45
hesitates then drops the bomb emily left
5:48
with Ryan jake's world flips upside down
5:51
he bolts outside just in time to see
5:53
Emily climbing into Ryan's red SUV the
5:56
tail lights fading into the night his
5:59
heart's racing his mind spinning how
6:01
could she do this to him to their family
6:05
back inside the table's awkward as hell
6:08
lisa's saying Emily will probably be
6:10
back by morning like it's no big deal
6:13
jake's done he snaps telling everyone
6:16
he's through with Emily through with
6:17
their marriage through with all of them
6:19
for not giving him a heads up some
6:21
friends call him harsh but Jake's too
6:23
raw to care he's ready to burn it all
6:26
down as he heads to grab his coat he
6:29
notices Ryan's fiance Rachel at another
6:32
table tears streaming down her face
6:36
jake walks over asks if she's Ryan's
6:39
girl she nods choking out that Ryan
6:42
swore he'd stop messing around after
6:44
they got engaged she says Ryan's
6:47
probably taken Emily to their house on
6:48
Maple Street and will be done with her
6:50
by morning the words hit Jake like a
6:53
punch but he keeps his cool he hands
6:56
Rachel his business card tells her to
6:57
call if she needs to talk and walks away
7:00
leaving her with a faint tearful smile
7:02
jake grabs his stuff leaves Emily's coat
7:05
and hotel bag behind and drives home the
7:08
whole way his mind's racing memories of
7:10
his army days flooding back times when
7:13
betrayal meant life or death when he had
7:16
to act fast to survive
7:19
by the time he pulls into his garage a
7:21
plan's forming it's dark cold and
7:24
straight out of his old playbook
7:27
jake's not thinking about tomorrow he's
7:29
thinking about tonight he flips on the
7:31
home security system which covers the
7:33
doors but not the attic window a gap he
7:36
knows well
7:37
he heads to the basement grabs a rope
7:40
and suits up black under arour hoodie
7:43
gray sweatpants old sneakers two sets of
7:45
gloves and a balaclava mask this isn't
7:49
Jake the Accountant anymore this is Jake
7:51
the soldier locked in mission mode he
7:54
climbs to the attic ties the rope to a
7:57
beam like he did as a kid slips out the
7:59
narrow window and scales down the side
8:01
of the house he's moving like a shadow
8:04
silent and precise
8:06
jake grabs a bike from his workshop
8:08
packing a backpack with an axe a knife
8:10
extra socks and gloves he pedals through
8:14
the woods crosses a river bridge and
8:16
heads to Maple Street he spots Ryan's
8:18
house big gaudy with a football statue
8:21
out front and that red SUV in the
8:23
driveway no hesitation Jake smashes the
8:26
SUV's passenger window with the axe
8:28
setting off the alarm he ducks behind a
8:30
porch pillar heart steady but pounding
8:32
the front door opens and Ryan steps out
8:35
probably cursing the noise jake moves
8:38
fast two clean strikes with the axe and
8:40
Ryan's down it's over in seconds jake
8:44
slips back inside closes the door and
8:46
jogs off jumping a stone wall to grab

his bike he stuffs the axe knife gloves
8:52
and shoes into the backpack rides to the
8:54
river and tosses it into the fast-moving
8:56
current the water's high from recent

rain swallowing every trace back at his
9:02
workshop Jake swaps socks switches to
9:05
clean sneakers and sprays ammonia on the
9:07
bike wiping it down he climbs back up
9:10
the house trickier than he expected but
9:13
he makes it pulls the rope in and wipes
9:15
the window sill in the basement he
9:18
strips throws his gear in the washer and
9:20
showers twice scrubbing away any
9:22
evidence he puts on his club clothes
