Revenge: Evil

Once upon a time a retired FBI agent named Bryan Mills and a retired CIA agent named Jason Bourne, lived in two beautiful houses in the mountains far away from the city. There was plenty of animals to hunt and water to drink, and the two had become good friends. But one year, there was no rain. The meadow stream dried up and the animals ran away. Soon the two men found themselves fighting over the scarce water and food. One day, their daily fights became violent. Jason stabbed Bryan in the arm. Badly injured, Bryan had no option but to flee. As Bryan ran away Jason shouted, “If you ever decide to come back be sure to come over for a cup of tea”.

A few days passed and the Bryan started feeling much better. He still had not forgotten how the Jason had hurt him, and started planning his revenge. After much thought, he decided to approach a man named James Harden and ask for his help. On hearing the Bryan’s story, James shrugged and said, “Well, you fought with each other, and you lost. Why should I get into this? Anyway, Jason is dangerous. If he can hurt you, he will definitely kill me.” With that James told Bryan to leave him so he could get back to work.

Once again Bryan pleaded with James. He said, “If you help me, I will help you kill Jason. Then we can keep his house and his belongings, and I will have the whole meadow and mountain to myself.” James laughed and said, “What will I do with his plain house; it is of no use to me.” Bryan then told James about the beautiful house and all the riches inside of it. James seemed impressed and agreed to help Bryan. But Jason’s skills still worried him.

Bryan had a plan. “What you need,” he said, “is a sniper. Just hide behind a big rock and I’ll call him outside. As soon as he comes outside you have to do is snipe him” The plan sounded good so the James decided to go along with it.

Next morning the James hid behind a big rock, holding a big sniper. When Bryan finally got Jason to come out in the meadow, James shot him. The plan worked. With just one shot Jason fell to the ground with a big THUD.

Bryan was really happy now that he had got rid of Jason from the meadow. He thanked James and was about to leave when he found that James was holding a gun to his head. Bryan turned to James and said, “Dear friend, now that our work is over, we can go to his house and split his riches. I can enjoy the meadow and you can enjoy the house. James in turn said, “My dear friend, you have been of such help to me. Not only have you helped me kill Jason Bourne, but you also made me very wealthy. Now that I know how rich you both are why not kill you and have your riches too.”

Bryan had never felt more betrayed. But after thinking for a second he realized that he was suffering because he had been petty and vengeful. By telling the secret of the riches in the houses up in the mountain, he had not only betrayed his friend Jason but ruined there great friendship which they had developed over many years was lying in the grass dying of the pain of his wound on his arm.
