The man hurried about the room, mumbling to himself incoherently. He reached underneath his bed, drawing out a suitcase and quickly opened the clasps up, letting the suitcase spring open. He hurried over to his cupboard and proceeded to throw some clothes in, not caring that they got crumpled. He looked over to a plane ticket that laid next to the suitcase and picked it up. Michigan. He put it down and quickly hurried about the house, checking through the cupboards and cracks. Nothing useful. Suddenly, the front door crashed open and he snapped his head towards the sound, undeniable fear in his eyes. A bead of sweat ran down his forehead. He went to close his suitcase, fumbling around with it, when his enemy stepped into the doorway. Without saying anything, they grabbed him by his lapels, throwing him against the wall. He punched him across the face, sending a splatter of blood flying onto the floor. The man collapsed and tried to crawl away, spitting blood. His enemy grabbed him by his hair and he screamed as he was hauled up. He punched him across the face one time, and then another. Suddenly, he sent a fist to the side of his head that rocked him, causing him to drop to the floor. The defeated man groaned as he tried to crawl away, but his enemy grabbed him, suddenly hauling him over the shoulder. The man punched him in the back of the neck and his assassin cried out in pain, dropping him. The dying man collapsed to the floor and groaned as he tried to crawl away, but was kicked in the side of the head. He dropped to the floor and did not move. The assassin breathed heavily and grabbed the unconscious man by his legs, dragged him across the floor. He came to the freezer and opened it up, seeing that there were only scraps of food inside. No matter. Heaving and straining, he grabbed the unconscious man and chucked him into the freezer. Panting heavily, he looked down at him and closed the lid. With his enemy taken care of, he limped out of the house, leaving the scene.
