the prompt

SHOT 1

Insert shot of two hands of @ TAG WOLF  carefully counting the dollar bills one by one.

Only a limited number of bills are visible, clearly not much money.

Clear crisp sound of paper bills being counted.

HARD CUT.

========================

SHOT 2

Low angle from table level 

Wolf sits at the kitchen table in @ TAG APARTMENT , focused on counting the cash.

@ TAG GIRL sits closely beside him, leaning into him with one arm wrapped around his side.

She quietly watches him count:

“Is that enough, babe?”

Wolf continues counting without looking up.

“For rent? Yeah.”

Everything feels normal, intimate and casual.

========================

SHOT 3

Suddenly:

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Three loud, aggressive knocks hit the apartment door.
(hard cut)

========================

SHOT 4

Wolf immediately stops counting.

Girl freezes beside him.

Complete silence.

Wolf and Girl remain seated at the table.

Neither of them moves for a moment.

Girl slowly looks toward the apartment door.

Her voice becomes quiet and a bit scared:

“Who is it?”

Wolf does not answer her.

========================

SHOT 5 

Wolf close-up

"Well..Rent isn’t due until Friday.”

Small beat.

========================

SHOT 6

BANG!!!

A SINGLE MUCH HARDER knock violently hits the apartment door.

The door visibly shakes from the impact.

Girl flinches.

Wolf immediately looks toward the door.

HARD CUT.

========================

SHOT 7

Wolf becomes completely serious.

He slowly pushes the small piles of cash away across the table.

He reaches underneath the table and pulls out a handgun and loads it in a very cool action movie style cinematic manner. 

No panic.

No exaggerated movement.

His demeanor changes from casual to controlled and alert.

Girl watches him, now genuinely worried.

Wolf stands up from the table.

close up shot of wolf: 

He gets very serious then turns to girl and quietly says:

“Stay here.” 
keep the camera still for 2 more second after wolf says his line, to keep tension

HARD CUT TO BLACK.
