Cursed Hearts

3. Punk Hazard district

Two days later, 8 a.m

Sanji's pov

I hardly wake up to the sound of the alarm clock. I have a bitter taste in my mouth

I look around me and sigh

Today is the day.. Another day for another murder...

Hope that everything will go well..

I stand up to take a shower, putting on my equipment and remembering the plan.

The killer contract have a « exchange » at 9 a.m, in the Punk Hazard district. If I remember correctly, he will negotiate a contract with a drug company. But the contract is a trick to kill the guy of the company. When they will « conclude » ( so when the contract killer will kill the man), I have to put the buyer to sleep with an anesthetic and quickly shoot the Palle man.

I light a cigarette

Quite easy. But honestly, I have a bad feeling about it. I don't know why.

... Everything will be ok. I've done this before and I know what I worth.

When I'm ready to leave, I see the old man standing at my door.

Quite a surprise..

Sanji: What are you doing here old man ?

At the beginning, he doesn't answer and a heavy silent take place.

...

After a moment, he look at me, quite serious.

Zeff: I know you hate that kind of job so thanks.

I take a distant tone

S: It's not like I had any choices.

I notice a guilty look in the eyes of my boss

Z: ...

I sigh

S: I have to go. It's almost 9 a.m

Meanwhile I started to walk, I hear the voice of the old man

Z: Hey kiddo. Be careful, we fight Palle.

My eyes roll

S: I'm not dumb. I know who we're going to fight ! And since when are you caring about me huh ? See ya !

I smile a bit and leave the headquarter

In the outside, the old man and I seems to hate each other but in reality he kinda considers me as his son (Even if he would never admit it.) and I consider him as my father.

When I'm arrived at the parking, I join my motorcycle

I check if I have all my stuff : knife, gun, anesthetic, syringe.. It's all good.

I get on my vehicle and start the engine

After the ride, 8,45 a.m

When I'm finally at the spot, I immediately hide my bike and go find a discret place.

I check the time

8.45 a.m. Perfect. Now I just have to wait the contract killer of Palle.

I wonder how he would be.. Probably an ugly man in a costume. After all, women in the mafia universe aren't that much.

When I think about the fact that the boss of Palle is a woman I just...
