Ares steps out of his house, calls for a cab, and gets in. He reads the paper aloud to the driver. "Please go to "1928 Shore Ave." "Ok guy, sounds good. It'll take about 15 minutes." "Thank you." Ares sits in the back of the car, handling the pistol in his pocket. Thinking to himself "What am I doing with this?" "Am I really going to kill someone?" Thousands of thoughts race through his head as the car drives through town. "How many guys are there?" "I have to do this for Michelle. I can't go cold turkey on her now. She trusts me." Ares feels the car pull to a halt, as the driver turns around. "That'll be $2.40. Thanks." Ares silently hands the driver a five dollar bill, and exits the car. He looks up at the house, and makes his way to the front door. Upon entering, he sees his old friend, Paul, immediately. "Hey Paul! Whats up man?" "Hey Ares, been a while. Doing pretty good for myself. As you can probably see..." "Yeah. Great place you got here. Hey, can I ask you for a favor?" "Sure bro, anything." "If I wanted to take down a mafia boss, how should I do it?" A long pause sits between the two old friends. They look into each other's eyes for what seems like hours, before Paul responds. "You need to get with Johnny. He has the best hitters in town, and if you have $20, they can hit off anyone for you." As Ares starts to walk out, Paul grabs his arm. "Which mafia boss might this be?" "Julian." A stern look comes across Paul's face as he starts to shake his head. Ares turns, and walks out. He looks down the street, and begins to walk towards "Johnny's Place". It's a bar on the south side, not too far. Johnny spends all his time there now-a-days. After a fast-paced walk, Ares notices the sun starting to descend in the sky. He sees the lights of the bar, and figures he better hurry up. Detroit is crazy at night. He looks at the front entrance, and decides its not a good idea to try and get in that way. He walks around to a back-entrance, to find two bodyguards. He tells them that he's a friend of Johnny's and he wants to do some business, so the bodyguards call for him. Johnny, a short, stout Italian walks out. "Good evening Johnny. I was sent here by Paul. He says you can help me." "Depends. What kinda help you lookin' for?" "I want to take out Julian." A similar stern look comes over Johnny's face that was on Paul's. Apparently Julian was quite a horror around here. "Listen. I'm not riskin any of my boys, going after Julian. However, if you can knock him off, you're welcome to be one of my associates." Ares walks off. He leaves the three men standing at the back entrance to the bar, and walks off to find this "Julian". Ares steps out of the dark alley. He looks left, right, then proceeds to walk towards Julian's "Spot". As he walks, he feels the stares of everyone around him, as usual. However, now it seemed like everyone was afraid of him. He had his pistol in his hand, which instantly strikes fear with people, plus his hideous face. As the miserable feeling returned, so did the hatred for people. This drove him into the sprint to find this "Julian". As he sprints, he notices a large bill-board: "JULIAN'S CLUB, The best girls this side of Chicago!" He looks up and laughs, as he sees a picture of Julian, another short, fat Italian man. It seems every short fat Italian wants to own a bar. Anyways, Ares slowly walks up to the establishment. He decided that the front door may be better this time. However, as soon as he entered, two men in suits greeted him and escorted him to the VIP section. As he went up the steps, he began to see Julian. He was shorter and fatter than the bill-board had let on, so Ares chuckled a bit. "Take a seat, son. I've heard a lot about you. You seem to be fearless, strong, and brave. So, I'm here to offer you a.... settlement. You come work for me, you get this. Julian lifts a briefcase from behind his desk, and places it in front of Ares. He checks the cash receipt: $250,000. Quite a lot of money, to say the least. Ares puts his hand in his pocket, clutching his pistol. "C'mon Ares, you don't need to be a hero. YOU CAN BE RICH." Ares notices Julian's fake smile, and rises from the seat. In one motion, he kicks the chair back, into one of the bodyguards, and shoots the two others in the chest. He turns, lowers his gun and shoots the last guard in the head. He circles around, takes one second to think, then fires 3 rounds through Julian's head. *Knock* *knock* *knock*. "Hello?" "Yes its Johnny. Is this the Ares residence?" Ares walks over and opens the door, letting in Johnny and two other men." "I hear you took down Julian. Excellent work. I'm here to offer you a job-" "No. No need for that. Julian paid me plenty" Ares chuckles a bit, looking down at the briefcase. "Very well. I shall leave you two alone. Have a nice day."Johnny departs, along with his two men, leaving Ares and Michelle alone. Ares walks in towards the kitchen, to find a small object hanging in the doorway. "What's this?" "A Mistletoe." "What's it for?" "Here, let me show you." Michelle giggles as she walks over next to Ares, taking him by the hand. He turns, to meet Michelle's lips with his. They each blush again, and smile. This was Ares's best day ever. |
