The Target (Short Story) Started by: Lanxs on Mar 11, '10 22:21

Mr. Castiglione was riding down the street in his limo on his way to a business meeting, but what he didn't know was the ride to the meeting wasn't going to be as normal as he thought it would be. Suddenly a previously unseen car slammed into the limo pinning the limo in between a wall and the car. With the limo pinned in between the wall and Car, Castiglione crawled out of his limo though the broken glass, past his dead driver. Only to come face to face with his assassin.
With the 45. pressed hard on his skull, Mr. Castiglione did the only sensible think he could think of; Beg for his life.
"That's not going to work Antonio, not what after what you did to my boss, its over for you".
Then he saw his chance, a car behind his assassin burst into flames with a load explosion, and Antonio ran past his attacker into the closest building.
He tried to find some sort of exit, but the only way out was now blocked by his assassin. Beating on random doors franticly hoping someone will let him in, he finally finds an un-locked door, and runs in. Hiding in one of the rooms, he sees the man walk in and he starts checking rooms in the apartment. Trying to sneak out, he is caught and forced into a Chair.
"Who sent you? How much are they paying? I'll triple it!"
"It's not about the money anymore Castiglione... It's only about you. Are you ready to pay for your crimes? You know the Family doesn't take to friendly to traitors"
Mr. Castiglione closed his eyes waiting for the end, after a few seconds of waiting he opened his eyes. He saw his assassin lying on the floor in a pool of blood. Looking up he saw an old friend of his from his past.
"Tom, you don't know how glad I am to see you!" "What are you doing here anyways?" "Well I wasn't going to let him take the glory for killing a traitor..." Then everything went blank.

"He should have been here by now Tom."
"I know I know John" Said tom smoking on his cigar. "Just wait he'll be here."
"How can I?" "I told you I'm nervous around these guys." " I just hope the deal goes right."
"Well so do I, no one wants this to go badly." They have the boss, we have the money, they want the money, and we want the boss, simple as that."
"How can you be so calm?" "These guys are looking at us like they're going to feel us to a grinder!"
"I'm not calm, I'm just not freaking out." "Now will you plea-"
"Alright, come with us."
"Tom, where's Antonio, He needs to be here!"
"Shut it John." "Let's just hope your mouth doesn't get us Killed." Tom said with a glare.
"Quite back there!"
After arriving to the trade off point, things don't seen the way they should.
"What's with all these men?" "It was only a 3 on 3 meeting!" Yelled Tom.
"Well the deals changed"
"Where's our boss!?" Said John.
"Right here" He said with a Smile. "Bring him out!"
Then two men dragging a corpse threw the body onto the ground with a loud thud.
"What is this?"
"Isn't it obvious, it's your boss."
"What?! This is war, where's Antonio?"
Then Mr. Castiglione stepped out from the shadows.
"Right here boys" said Antonio.
"You sold us out!" Then a gunshot rang out, followed by John's Body hitting the ground hard.
"Traitor!" Yelled Tom!
"No Tom, you where the traitors for believing this man you call your Boss." "Kill him"
Then Tom bolted out the door shooting a guard on his way out. Being chased he jumped into a dark alley way. When one of the Men saw him, Tom beat him with a Cement Block. After finding his way to the streets, Tom managed to hot wire a car. On his way back to the compound, he was surprised to see it in flames. So he went to the only man that could help him.
Barging though the door, Tom ran to the only person in the entire shop.
"Francis, you've got to help me!" "Johns dead, so is the boss!"
"I know Tom, come with me I know just where you can hide.
After a Long drive though the town, they stopped at this old broken down looking building complex.
"Look for room 160, that's where you'll stay."
"Thanks Francis, you're a saint."
"Just go Tom, I can't be seen with you right now, too many people know I'd help you."
After finding his room Tom spent the next few months trying to repair his life, he was no longer part of the life. After spending his time working for Francis, Tom was hanging out at his apartment, which he managed to fix up; on his way to his apartment he noticed his door wasn't completely closed. Normal mistake of an un-experienced Hitter. Walking into the apartment with his gun at the ready, he was suddenly grabbed from behind. Of course, a good hit man would leave the door as a Lure.
"Complements from Antonio"
"How'd you find me?"
"Well I had to beat old Francis pretty bad, but I got what I wanted."
"You son-of-a-"
Tom twisted out of his grip and upper cutted him on the chin. The Hitter dazed, stepped back, trying to escape the apartment, Tom fired shot after shot into the assassin.
"That's it" Tom said "it all ends for you Antonio.... I hope your ready....
