Man frantically looking for something in room; making a mess as he turns the bed and cupboard drawers upside down.

He's talking to himself - cursing. he stands up straight, hands on hips, exhales, looking around at the debris of pants and shirts and underwear

"-the fuck he put it...-"

The main door clinks.   

   He looks around him for a hiding place - the closet!He quietly closes the door and crouches in the tight space, shaking fromadrenaline, He's breathing heavy, staring out through the key hole 

    Approaching footsteps stop at the bedroom door, elHombre freezes, staring at the mess, his face turns from confusion to anger -he dashes out of sight - but the man can hear him rifling through some draws inthe adjacent room - a cocking sound fills him with dread

The man returns with a glock .38, el Hombre's white shirt illuminates the bedroom from the sun's glare

He walks over the clothes as if manoeuvring through deep snow

Carefully, exploring the space around him, he says in a calm voice: "if you're still here I swear to god I'm gonna shoot you dead if you don't surrender."

Behindthe curtain? Under the bed? The room's small, there's only one place he couldbe 

The hidden man looks around him, it's the first thing he does - without thinking - but he's surrounded by hanging clothes and shoes. Nothing he could use to square up with a gun

ElHombre stands right in front of the closet door now, slowly pulling it open 

The hiding man tries to jump el hombre, but he's quick with the trigger and a hot bullet drives right through the invaders chest

The hiding man collapses and el hombre tries to gather his thoughts except he can't

El Hombre rifles through the dead man's pockets; coins, pot, phone, clipped nail, lighter, wallet

The ID card says Silvern Isla, El Hombre turns the body face up and he recognises the face, it's his ex-girlfriend's son

He says to the corpse "she send you for this?" he waves the xx in front of the foggy eyes

He takesthe phone, puts it on silent, thinks "she'll be happy to see me,"   

Silvern's bleeding all over the carpet and strewn clothes

El Hombre drags the body into the tile-floor living room and finally his thoughts slow down

Elhombre packs his cleanest clothes and bids his apartment goodbye after pouringa gallon of bleach powder over the body. Turning every electrical items off.
