"It's done" I said, then hung up the phone. Sitting on the edge of the bed after with the moonlight illuminating the room I reach for my pack of cigarettes. With shaking hands I open the packet taking on out and sitting the filter between my lips, reaching for the lighter and flicking it a few times each time the room illuminates in a flash before illuminating in the glow of the flame. Bringing the flame to the end of the cigarette my hands still shaking causing the flame to dance, I eventually manages a moment of composure before lighting my cigarette and taking a long draw, inhaling deeply. The rush of nicotine relaxing me long enough to reach for the glass, and a small bottle of scotch, opening the tiny bottle and pouring the liquid into the glass, then downing the drink before it can even settle in the glass. Drawing deeply on my cigarette again the rush of nicotine calming me some more. Placing the cigarette in the ashtray then lying back on the bed. Looking up at the water stain in the ceiling thats barely visible in the moonlight. Exhaling the smoke then closing my eyes and remembering the day..... "Hi there can I get your anything?" The waitress asked me. "Uh..Hi Ill take a coffee" I reply a little nervously. The waitress smiles and scribbles on her notepad before walking away. The sun shining through the windows of the caf I look at the clock knowing I am early wondering why I have been asked to be here. As I look to the door I see Tony walk in dressed in a suit he seems almost over dressed for the little caf I rise from my chair in respect as Tony approaches, Tony takes His seat and we both sit down. The waitress returns with the coffee, Tony slips her a note and in a low voice he says "Keep the change" Tony turns to me and smiles "I see you are early Alucard I like that in a man." "I thought it was best to be early than late" I reply in a casual tone trying to hide my nerves "You are no doubt wondering why I asked you here, I will tell you but this is not the place to discuss such thing so let us leave shall we?" Tony says I nod and taking one sip of coffee I follow Tony out the door and down the street to the black limousine, black tinted windows, it clearly look out of place, but as we approached the driver open the door and Tony got in and I got in after. As I sat in the comfy seat the driver closed the door and Tony close the little glass separator so the Driver could not hear our conversation. "So Alucard" Tony says as he turns to me and continues "The reason I brought you here, is because you have done well in our family, you are keeping hidden while doing your business, knocking over 7-11's stealing old ladies purses, selling drugs you have even tried your hand at running a prostitution ring. You have remained hidden but not hidden enough from us" The corners of his mouth arched a little as he smiled slightly. "I did as you suggested Tony, worked slowly but surely made some money to keep myself going, if this is about the loan you gave Me I have the money to pay you back" I replied being casual then the nerves showing toward the end of the sentence. Tony smiled "Calm down Alucard, would you like a drink?" "Sure" I replied, my mouth seemed really dry all of a sudden Tony turns to the mini bar and poured a couple of scotch on the rocks and handed me a glass, I took a long sip and felt a little more relaxed. Tony took a sip and smiled then after a moment he spoke. "Alucard I have brought you here because the Boss feels it is time to see if your ready to move up in this underworld and see if your prepared for your first hit" "My first hit?" I looked to him a little shock; sure I had fired a gun before at the shooting range, but never at someone and never with the intention to kill him. Tony looked at me still smiling. "I know what your thinking, you have only fired a gun at the range and never at someone, you may have even pulled your gun out to defend yourself or rob the 7-11. But you never really intended to kill anyone. Because I was in you same position many years ago." I looked at him dumbfounded as he seemed to have read my mind, but as he spoke I understood the opportunity that this was. I chance to move up in the underworld I had become apart of. I took another sip or my drink and he spoke before I could. "I will not force this upon you need to make this choice on your own" Tony leaned over and grabbed a black briefcase and handed it to me and spoke before letting it go as I went to take it. "The mark is little Guido from the antique shop. The reason is not your concern; your only concern is that The Boss wants him gone" I nodded and took the briefcase from him he smiled and the driver opened my door and as I was about to get out Tony grabbed my arm and spoke. "You have 48 hours to complete what is asked of you, there is a number in there to call when you are done, good luck my young friend" "Thank you Tony for this opportunity" I replied and got out of the car and walked back to my motel room, feeling a whole new weight on my shoulders. I entered my motel room, locking the door and put the briefcase on the bed and went to the bathroom and splashed water on my face before sitting on the bed and opening the case. Inside the case there was a silenced pistol and a clip of ammo as well as an envelope with a number inside it to call when the job was done. I took my leather gloves from my jacket placing them on my hands and taking the gun and loading it. Taking a deep breath I holstered the gun in the waistband of my pants. I left the motel room locking the door behind me and walked to the antique shop and sat on the bench across the street and watched the store. The darkness slowly appeared in the sky, the street lights flicking on then there he was closing his shop. As I saw him my heart skipped a beat and I could feel myself sweating under my clothes I raised from the seat as he walked from his shop and darted into an alley. Obviously taking a short cut I walked briskly across the street and followed him into the alley and could barely make him out. I moved quicker than he walked and caught up to him taking the gun from my waistband and pointing it at him. "Guido" I called, he stopped and turned around, I saw the flash of terror in his eyes and him gasp, there was a moment of silence that seemed to last an eternity before my finger pulled the trigger back firing the gun. The silenced sound broke the silence and he fell to the ground dead. I put the gun back in the waistband of my pants, bending down and taking the empty shell. I ran to the end of the alley and just before the street I started walking casually and headed the long way back to my motel room. Doing my best to keep my calm I got to my motel room and reaching into my pocket I realized how much my hands were shaking. I fumbled with the door before opening it walking in then closing it behind me. Leaning against the door I took the gun out and put it back in the briefcase, taking the note out of the envelope and walking to the side of the bed and sitting on the edge. I picked up the handset and dialed the number knowing my life had changed forever. |
