Broken

Chapter 19

Eric waited for Ray in the lobby off the hotel, he wasn't sure what exactly the job was about but he needed the money and he needed it fast.

"Eric" he heard Ray call, "lets go in the conference room, and talk"

Eric followed him down the corridor, he didn't know much about this guy but it seemed everyone in the building was kissing his ass, and doing whatever it was he requested.
He sat at the long table, took the drink Ray offered "tell me what I need to do" he asked.

Ray pulled two pictures out of a folder, "these two" he said "the bitch is my ex wife, and this is her boyfriend" he gave up referring to her as his wife, he just wanted her dead now, if he couldn't have her pretty boy wouldn't either.

Eric glanced at the pictures "where do I come in" he asked as he leaned closer to Ray.

Ray laughed "you are going to make sure those two take a dirt nap" he said "my buddy said you're a good shot, like sniper quality"

Eric smiled "yea, I'm pretty good" in truth he was outstanding but he wasn't one to toot his own horn "when you want it done?" He asked.

Ray leaned back in the chair "I'd like it done yesterday" he said as he cracked his knuckles, "but within the next two weeks, the sooner the better" he said.

"I'm assuming you know my fee, right?" Eric asked him.

"Two hundred fifty thousand, correct?" Ray said "listen, I will give you an extra fifty grand if you get it done in the next 48 hours" he pulled an envelope from inside his jacket pocket "here, take this as a sign of good faith" he slid it across the table.

Eric grabbed it, shocked when he saw it was filled with hundred dollar bills, this guy was loaded "nice, thanks" he said as he put in his pocket "I hope you have a nice suit" he said.

Ray looked at him funny, causing Eric to laugh "relax, just you may have a funeral to attend soon" Eric smiled as he left.

As Eric left the lobby, he could hear the sirens and the swat team moved in, he made it to the parking lot where a SUV waited for him, he climbed in and smiled at the driver.

"Eric Flueger, you've still got it!" The driver said as he gave Eric a fist bump.

"C'mon man, did you doubt it for one second?" He laughed "thanks a lot for the this Hank, I needed it"

Voight smiled "not as much as I needed that piece of shit off the streets" he told him, "you should thinking about coming back the the CPD, we really could use you in intelligence"

"I just might do that" Eric smiled as they watched Ray Thompson being placed in the back of a patrol car.
