"We were never going to make it" were the last words that Mac mumbled before he kicked the bucket. They died drastically with no trace, no legacy.
Mac and Jon had been close friends right from high school. They were really compatible. They loved doing things together and surprisingly they always wanted the same thing. Mac wanted to be a lawyer and so did Jon. You could say they were best of friends.

Jon was the one with a very high IQ and Mac was on the average, that way, they made the perfect duo. Life didn't really go on well for Mac and as such, Jon decided to fall back, after all they promised to stand by each other to the very end. When I say fall back, I mean give up everything. After their graduation from college, Jon got a well paid job and was living well. On the other hand, Mac was a chauffeur. That's not what he planned for, but that's what he found himself doing.
The distance grew between them and that's not what they wanted for themselves and so, like I said, Jon fell back. He resigned and joined Mac as an assistant chauffeur. The things people do for friendship. It managed to put food on their table and moreover, they were happy to retain their bond.
Their job managed to put food on their tables, but they wanted more than just that. A day came where they got into a trap. Like every normal day, they were assigned to duties and they did as they were told. They took their client to his destination and waited for him to return.
The next thing they saw was their client running toward them with a bag.
"Let's go! Let's go! Ignite the engine morons!"
Mac was the driver for the day and he did as he was told. The people who were pursuing their client started firing their guns at them. Good thing their ride was bulletproof ,the safety of their clients were put at 100%.
The tyres screeched as Mac drove fast.
" Sir, it seems like you got involved with the wrong set of people, yeah?"Mac asked
"Just shut up and drive"
" But sir, I could help you call the police," Mac said.
" Learn not to stick your nose into other people's business and just step on it darn it!". The man was agitated and fidgety.

He called someone and told the person that he had secured the package and was on his way back. They got into a fight corner and they were blocked from all angles.It was too late and the drivers were seen as his alibi.
The men who were after their clients came out of their cars and they all pointed guns at Mac's car. Mac didn't want to risk it and so he unlocked the car.
"We are innocent. We are just mere chauffeurs. People let us go, we promise not to tell anyone" Jon cried in s bit to allow the men set them free.
They got to the car, opened the back door and dragged out the Mac's client, put him to his knees and a firing squad of twelve shot him to death. The leader walked up to Mac and said,
"Next time you're told to drive in such a case, don't drive. Did I say next time?" He asked with a smirk on his face as he shot Mac twice in the chest and did he turned to Jon,
"Doll face, I'd like to let you go but you'd be grieving the loss of your buddy your whole life, why don't I just end your misery?". Jon was about to say something when he was also shot twice in the chest.
Jon turned and looked at Mac and smiled. "Bbb buddies to the end" Jon stuttered.
"We couldn't have made it anyways" Mac replied.
That was their end.
