5- A dog's purpose

Louis walked until he reached the back of the club, as he felt the gun pointed at his back "I should warn you, I don't sleep with anyone who threatens me, it's not really my ethics-"

"Do you think this is a game?"

"I don't know what this is. To be fair, I have no idea who you are and, honestly, I don't even care" he opened his arms, turning one hundred and eighty degrees, so as to look the boy in his eyes. He paused for a few seconds, then laughed "Ok, I'm actually interested, I just wanted to do one of those cool scenes that you see in movies or books, you know..." he laughed alone and continued laughing for several seconds. Then he coughed when he saw that serious boy and put his hands on his hips "sorry, serious moment" he nodded "so, your name would be...?"

"My name is Henry" he replied, the gun still pointed at the agent "And I was sent here by Ercantis" Louis bit his lip, before starting to laugh "why the hell are you laughing?"

He shook his head, a hand on his stomach "sorry sorry, it's just- what kind of name is Ercantis? I bet he's a criminal, he probably became one because the kids at school bullied him for his name"

"Don't laugh at him" exclaimed Henry "and it's a stage name"

"You know, even horse shit could be seen as a work of art these days, so each to their own i guess" he continued to laugh. Henry then got angry and put his finger on the trigger "uh, sore point, just calm down" he said raising his hands in the air.

"It's still funny, huh? Do you want to keep laughing?"

"What- me? I would never do that," he nodded to himself, closing his eyes and jutting his lower lip forward, "so, Ercantis sent you here. To kill me?"

"No, to take something that is in your possession"

"You know those bad moments when you want to take the gun out of your jacket, but you remember you didn't bring it?" He asked completely ignoring the boy in front of him "I'm having those moments now, it's really annoying"

"Where is it?"

"I mean, I still know at least sixty-nine ways to kill you without using any weapons, number taken completely at random, obviously"

"I'm losing my patience"

"Then what are you going to do, shoot me?"

"Straight to the forehead"

"Ok, let me help you, I'll take care of it" Louis approached Henry and placed his hand on the boy's armed one "here, this is the perfect place to kill me" he helped him position the gun on his forehead, among the eyebrows "if you're lucky, you might even make me feel pain for a few seconds"

Henry looked at him with furrowed eyebrows, while Louis brought his hands to the gun, so as to position it better, not even trying to steal the weapon "Do you want to die by any chance?" He then asked the boy, confused by the officer's behavior.

Louis laughed and shrugged his shoulders "I'm one hunfred per cent positive that sooner or later my turn will come too" he replied "but I already know that that turn isn't today. You're a newbie, aren't you? Have you ever killed anyone? I bet you don't, you can't" he narrowed his eyes, a smirk on his lips.

"Don't tempt me" the boy warned him, increasing his grip on the gun and bringing his finger closer to the trigger.

This made Louis laugh out loud "you're not going to kill me, you're pathetic, you're too scared to pull that stupid trigger, you're probably shitting your pants, are you!" He laughed out loud "kill me, you have the chance to do it, pull that trigger, cmon" he looked at him indecisively "kill me!" He yelled at him.
