No Man's Land

Quinn's Restaurant

Theo walked out of the garage, gazing up at the sun with his hands in his pockets.

He wished to just be sitting on a beach with a cold drink and hot weather.

Warren and Felix stayed behind, dragging the bodies of the murdered gang members into the office.

‘’We need to get rid of these two quickly, in case that gang they were a part of comes to take the garage and if they see the bodies, they’ll kill us for revenge’’ said a distressed Felix, drinking from a bottle of water to calm his nerves, it had been his first time witnessing a murder.

‘’I know a man, he can drive here later, pick up the bodies and take them in his car, then he can dispose of them with no evidence they were here’’ replied Warren.

Back outside, Theo saw a man standing in the alleyway leading to the pub, smoking a cigarette and wearing glasses, uniform and blue apron, that said ‘’Quinn’s’’ it was one of the gang leaders, Tim’s restaurant, that used to be The Hutch.

He thought of an opportunity he now had and approached the man, pulling the hammer back of his pistol inside his back pocket.

‘’Hey, Theo? You’re part of that team. You’re supposed to be dead” said the man.

‘’I’m afraid you have me mixed up with someone else, my name is Carlos’’ lied Theo, putting on a Spanish accent.

‘’No no, it’s you I’m sure. I’ve heard descriptions of a man called Theo and you fit them. Every gang leader wants you dead, I’m taking that opportunity’’ said the man, pulling a switchblade out of his pocket.

‘’I don’t think so’’ smiled Theo, ripping his pistol out from his pocket and shooting the man point blank in the face.

His body fell to the ground, his head slightly laying on the brick in the alleyway.

Theo sprung into action, removing the man’s apron, shoes, trousers and shirt, some of them covered in blood but he didn’t care.

He then equipped the man’s clothes and glasses, putting his own clothes onto the man which had his pistol in them, he also took the man's ID, which said his name was Joseph Sharma.

After that, Theo dragged the man by his feet all the way over to the garage and inside of the office. ‘’I’ve got a third one for you two!” He smiled.

‘’Erm what is this?!” Asked Felix.

‘’What does it look like? It’s a body’’ said Theo, leaving the garage.

Warren sighed, he then phoned his mate who he had just phoned seconds ago, ‘’yeah, looks like it’ll be two, not three’’ he groaned.

Meanwhile, Theo strolled into the village, he knew he had a target on his back but at this point it didn’t matter to him if he were to live or die.

He simply followed an employee in who had also been on their break just like that man and acted normal.

A man in a blue suit walked out of the kitchen, ‘’are you the new guy?” He asked.

‘’Yes, you’re the manager I assume?” Asked Theo.

‘’Yes, Frankie Nowell's the name." The man replied, putting his hand out which Theo immediately shook.

‘’Blood on your uniform?” Frankie’s face turned serious. ‘’That isn’t a good way to show up to work, Tim expects better.’’

Theo didn’t say anything, wondering for a second what his punishment would be until Frankie just laughed.
