Separately Attached To You

Shh. Don't make a sound and hold your breath. Every movement I make, I am putting myself at risk. Europe has been corrupted by the mafia. These people are constantly watching your every move, torturing, murdering, and kidnapping everyday. I am sick of this. I've grown a hatred towards them and I've made it a mission to kill every single one of them to protect innocent lives. This has never been about me, it never will be. I am hunting for justice.

For the past 20 years of my life, I've made sure everyone is safe. My purpose has been protecting innocent people, it's what I was born to do.  Being able to protect anyone else before I can protect myself. These people have no idea I exist to them, do they care that a stranger is always protecting them?

Some nights are quiet, while other times it can get messy. I prefer for the night to always be quiet but that can never be possible as long as he is alive.

During my nightly routine, I see two people heading towards Elias Wrights home. Their family funds all of Europe. He has a beautiful wife and daughter. Elias is the head leader of Varjatud Saladus, which means Hidden Secret. Doesn't sound as cool as he thinks it does. He is the most dangerous man in Europe. As leader, the majority of his enemies are located in Asia, very little enemies in Europe.

No one dares to mess with Elias Wright. There was an instance one day at our local coffee shop where he ordered his men to shoot an innocent woman because she looked at him the wrong way. Come to find out, the woman was partially blind. She usually has her son to help her but that day she was alone. She needed to squint to understand where she was going. It was unfortunate the woman was a few feet away from Elias.

That day in particular, the night would be a new moon. The new moon makes the night darker than usual. This woman lived in a secluded area just outside the city, there were no lights. The perfect night to murder where no one can watch you, except for me. Elias sent his hitman to murder her around 12:30 AM.

His hitman entered her home and shot her five times. Shooting her five times causes their mafia mark to be left behind, a star. Once in the head, once in the left hand, once in the right hand, once in the left foot, and once in the right foot. Fortunately, he was unable to confirm with Elias he successfully completed his mission.

His hitman was found next to the woman. He died instantly. One bullet was found in the forehead. It was perfectly angled to go through between his eyes that travel upwards in his brain. This particular bullet leaves a burning sensation to ensure anyone shot dies instantly and quietly. This wasn't the first time where some of Elias's men died this way. Elias can never figure out how this happens.

He has been struggling for the past six years how someone was able to murder his men right in front of his team. It angers him. Every time he gets news that someone has died, he gets furious. His veins pop out in his neck, clenching his fists, and his face turning so red you would think red food coloring stained him. It brings me joy knowing I do my job well. He never got close to figuring out it's me. He knows what I allow him to know. This isn't a game to me but I sure as hell will treat it like one if he ever gets on the right track.

The two mysterious people seem to know the home very well. Elias has four people that watch the perimeter of his home, another four hidden at the top of the buildings with snipers, and two people inside the home. There hasn't been a way to enter his home without someone watching. He has multiple visible and hidden cameras around his property. I've never seen them before. I'll have to pay my new friends a visit soon.
