DEAD TO ME
—you're obsessed just let it go, you're dead to me-

There is something so relaxing about watching a target. Right now, i followed some guy i'm about to kill into the cinema. I'm sitting right behind him while we watch Top Gun, he has a friend with him, i gave $100 to a child to get this seat.

He's so unaware that as soon as this movie ends, i'm going to follow him to his house and kill him.

I haven't decided yet.

I'm going to inject him with an insane amount of cocaine so that he overdoses. Best thing is, people will just think he relapsed and overdosed, no real investigation will take place.

I'm going to stage it perfectly.

But even with cases like this, i still need a disguise.

The worst thing about disguises?

Wigs.

I keep itching my head because this wig is bothering me.

I extend my legs out and keep my focus on the movie, all while paying attention to Mr. Jones in front of me.

From what i've gathered he's not a fan of popcorn, he can't eat it properly, he also moves position every five minutes, when he's interested his knee bounces.

It's relaxing.

Watching my targets live such a normal life, getting to know their demeanour, right before i kill them.

After every case i take a reward home with me and put it in my drawer. For this, i don't know whether i should take the cinema ticket home, maybe i'll take his 20 years sober coin.

Or maybe i'll take both.

The movie ends and Mr. Jones stays seated with his friend for a moment while everyone ups and leaves. What do i do? I pretend i'm on the phone, gathering my bag and all to make sure i look like i'm ready to leave.

As soon as they stand up, so do i.

They walk out of the room and i'm right behind them. They go to the mens bathroom and i crouch on the floor, pretending to tie my shoelace with my phone pressed between my shoulder and ear.

They get up, i follow them closely but not enough for them for realize they're being followed.

His friend is home first.

I hide behind a dumpster as i watch them say their goodbyes.

Then Mr. Jones walks again and i follow right after him.

I pull my surgical mask up to cover my face and soon we're in his neighbourhood.

He walks into his house, i walk around his house and push up onto the pipe descending down the side of the house. I climb up it, right in through the window of the spare bedroom.

I've been watching him for a week, i've broke into his house numerous times. I know my shit.

While i'm in the guest bedroom, i hear the shower run and i use that as my opportunity to get the injection ready.

I fill it to the top with the strongest dose of cocaine i could find and keep it in my pocket.

Then i walk into his bedroom and for fun, steal his diamonds and gold.

It's not like he's going to need it anyways.

I hide behind the door and ten minutes later, he walks in with a towel wrapped around his hips.
