An unlucky man at the Riverview Regent, and his equally unlucky friends, make the mistake of disrespecting the companion of a tall stranger in a dark suit. That stranger is John Wick. He is given no option but to teach the unlucky man, and his equally unlucky friends, a lesson in etiquette. A group of well-dressed gangbangers who have a stake on the hotel's turf join the fray with knives and concealed carry pistols. John kills five with a bottle of middle-grade whiskey bourbon. Four of the men die due to blood loss caused by severe lacerations to the stomach and face, and one by drowning.

9:32PM
Injured: 16
Dead: 6

The remaining patrons of the Riverview Regent's bar pour out into the lobby. John Wick walks behind them with a gun in one hand, and a man in the other. Two patrol cars and their respective police wait on the other side of the doors. They're too afraid to shoot through the crowd. John isn't. He disguises himself with the body of his hostage, who doesn't bear any resemblance to (himself) the described shooter, and takes out the officers from behind with close-proximity shots to their upper body armour. His hostage is killed in the skirmish, and discarded. All but one of the officers limps away to a safe distance to call for backup, the last is out cold. John drops him into the trunk of his car and closes it.

9:40PM - Present
Injured: N/A
Dead: N/A

John hears another siren a block or two over. He sets himself up on the hood of one patrol car with an abandoned police-issue rifle, and shoots out the tires as soon as he's sighted them, using his last bullets to send the third, and with any luck, final, patrol car careening into the nearby pedestrian railing. There isn't a real police presence uptown, where the crime rate is low, and the security is high. John doesn't kill cops if he can help it, uniforms are more trouble dead than alive, but he's not in the mood to go to jail.

Besides, he has a reputation to maintain. ]


Good evening, officers. Can I help you?
