The New Mafia Boss: Green in Black

3. On the Way to McKenly Street

"Xavier Green, will you take Bridgette Smith as your wife, to have and hold her from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death, according to God's holy law and this solemn vow?"

"I do."

When Xavier answered the question with a loud voice, he vowed to heaven that he would love and protect his wife forever. And he intended to keep his promise even if he found out that his wife had $3 million dollars in debts.

Xavier worked so hard to pay the debts if that would only mean that he could protect his family in this way. Although he was so scared whenever he delivered corpses to the 53rd warehouse, he withstood it. He had to endure even if that meant he would eat thorns, or clench the blade around his hand as he abandoned his conscience.

'Let's wait for two years. Then I can pay all the debts,' he kept on cheering himself with these thoughts.

Xavier imagined a future full of hope.

Hope that he can surpass the struggles in his life.

And hope to live a normal life with a happy and contented family.

Yet there was a purpose in why an 'imagination' was called 'imagination.'

It reminds people that there are certain things which are far from reality.

Xavier realized that the moment Cesar killed him for a crime he did not do. He knew that he wouldn't be able to dream a good life, and even continue to protect his wife just like he pledged at their wedding.

Before his last breath, Xavier admitted the fact that he had finally lost everything.

But an odd occurrence will happen.

In the empty street of McKenly, a van quietly made its way. McKenly is a ghost town, and it's been years since people left the place.

Many feared visiting, especially at night. Aside from the eerie silence and darkness that the town prevails, there are rumors that ghosts have appeared recently in this area.

It is the perfect place for criminals to hide. Some even use this road to avoid the police cars which are patrolling around the main road.

Therefore, the driver of the van from Fugito's mansion chose this road on the way to the 53rd warehouse.

Delivering tonight's corpse wasn't on the schedule. That is why the driver used a different route to deliver Xavier's corpse.

"This place is scary," John, who was sitting in the passenger seat, complained.

"I don't have a choice. We need to deliver Xavier's body as soon as possible. The police are already patrolling the expressway," the driver, Bradport, explained.

"But does it have to be Mckenly Street? Look around! It seems that any time, a ghost will appear."

"Are you scared of ghosts?" Bradport said with a laugh.

"Then, should I love them?" John responded.

"You should. It is better to see a ghost than go back to the mansion and say that we failed to dispose of the body. The boss is scarier than any other ghost."

"I agree that Sir Cesar is scary. But this town was cursed! Didn't you hear the rumor? They say that if you bring a corpse into this town, then the corpse will stand up and eat us. Like a zombie!"

Bradport laughed so hard while driving.

"Are you telling me that Xavier will stand up and eat us?" When his laughs subsided, Bradport glared at John. "Hey! Stop being a wimp! That would never happen. You believe in folk stories too much."
