"Any last word?" I asked coldly with my gun pointing at my target's face.

"P-please d-don't ki-kill me!!!" said the man pitifully who was kneeling in front of me.

I pointed my gun at his forehead with my finger on the trigger.

"Pl-please stop! I'll pay you, I'll pay you 100 000$ to not kill me and another 50 000$ to hire you!" he desperately blurted out his offer while shaking in fear.

I thought about his proposition with my gun still on his forehead. 150 000$ that was not bad, but not nearly enough compared to what my client was already offering to get rid of this guy.

"D-do we ha-have a-a deal?" said my target as he interrupted my thoughts.

Without another word, I pulled the trigger and only the sound of his body falling on the ground could be heard. I bent down in search for his phone and I found it in his pocket. I opened it and as expected, he had a password. I took out a little box and plugged it into his phone and... Done his password was 5930.

With his phone, I took a picture of him... Well, his corpse as a proof and I was gone.

One hour later, I was in my master's office hiding in the shadows. I didn't wait very long before the doors opened. My master appeared in my field of vision as he confidently walked to his desk and sat down.

"I know you're here, come out," master commanded.

I waited a bit before stepping out of my hiding place. I handed him the phone with the picture on the screen. Master looked at it without any emotion and then he slightly smirked.

"Good job, here's your other part of your payment, 250K in cash as promised," he said while opening a case with money inside.

I took one pack in the middle and checked if it was fake or anything. Once I had confirmed the authenticity of it, I nodded in satisfaction and closed the case.

"Any other wishes master?" I asked in a neutral tone.

"No, you can go. I don't need you anymore and if you talk to anyone about this matter, I'll personally take you to your grave," his voice was cold as ice and I nearly shivered in fear, nearly.

"Of course, I'll take my leave," I bid my goodbyes without looking back.

I was back in my temporary apartment when I deposed the case on the table next to the other one with the other half of my payment in it. I sighed. Why can't anyone find a new way of paying me? At first, I was very happy when I finished a job and received money, but now it was becoming boring...

What should I do with this money? I didn't have a bank account and I couldn't let it here or take it with me... Maybe I'll buy some new guns and clothes? Yeah, that was a good idea. That reminded me, I also needed some ammo.

I sighed again, I hated shopping... And I had to find a new master soon or I'll kill myself out of boredom.

I was going to take a shower to wash out the smell of blood that was lingering on me when someone knocked at the door. Without a sound, I took my gun and hid it behind my back while walking toward the door. I slowly opened it and when I saw an empty hallway, I waited a little to be sure that the one who knocked was really gone. When I looked down, I saw a card. What was it doing here?

I took it and read: "September 15th, meet me in the cafe at 10:30 pm at XXX street in New York. Your new master."

I took the card and closed the door behind me. I dropped it on the desk and went to take a long needed shower. I had a new job and hoped it would be interesting this time.

Thirty minutes later, I came out of the bathroom with only a towel covering my lower parts. I took a boxer and put it on. Exhausted, I let myself fall on the bed and sighed yet again.

I had some time to waste before the day of our meeting. It had been a long time since I didn't go to New York, maybe I should arrive earlier by a few days and spend some time there. Who knows it may be fun! I will go sightseeing the dark market and the unknown territories I may step into.

I woke up because there was an annoying sound beside me. I slammed on the thing and heard a loud "crack". I opened my eyes and saw that I destroyed my alarm clock, again. I sighed, I'll have to buy a new one. I yawned and sat up on my bed. I thought about my plans for today and groaned in annoyance. This was the thing I hated the most about this job, shopping. I had to find a new apartment, a new phone, a ticket to New York, some new clothes and ammo.

I should buy the ticket first, so I called and reserved a place in the first class section in an industrial airplane. I had to spend this money somewhere. I once thought that I should get a jet for myself, but there was just too much paperwork I had to fill, so I preferred not to. Then I realized that I needed a passport since the last one I used wouldn't do. I grumbled in annoyance with all the things I had to do today.

I dressed in some plain clothes which consisted of a black shirt and some used jeans. I took some cash with me and went toward the mall. First I'll buy some clothes and a new phone.

When I was done with these, it was past noon and my stomach was growling like mad. I did skip breakfast, so I went to the food court and chose something I had been craving for a little while, a big and meaty hamburger with some crispy fries. Fuck the calories and my health. I needed a burger to make up for all the shopping I did today.

Now that I was full, I went back into my car while tossing the bags in the trunk and the phone I took from my target in the garbage bin. Now, I still needed some ammunition and a fake passport. I went into a gun shop and bought the things I needed. For the passport, it was going to be more complicated. The man who was forging them wanted me to pay him a lot more than necessary and he was a stubborn one. In the end, I threatened to first cut his fingers and then his balls off before feeding it to him to finally get a good price.

"See it wasn't so hard," I said while checking if everything was in order with a knife near his crotch.

"Y-yeah..." he answered shakily.

"Okay everything is perfect, here," I said with a fake smile and gave him the money while I put back my knife into my pants back pocket.

Before the man could say anything else, I was already gone. Now that I had everything I need, I returned to my apartment to prepare everything for tomorrow.

The next day, I was at the airport and everything was taken care of. The money I didn't use was given to a charity case. May as well give the money to people in need. Of course, I kept enough for myself. Anyways, I didn't need this much and it'll only cause trouble if I kept it.

Today, I was wearing a suit and gave them my passport then passed the security and all. For the guns, I had a licence, a forged one, but still a license, so I had no problem.

I was waiting for my flight and to entertain myself, I was reading some newspapers that was left on a seat as I sipped some coffee.

"Flight number 230 to New York. Please all passengers in the first class enter the plane." said a woman with a monotone voice in the intercom.

Finally, I was beginning to feel impatient. I did wait for two hours. Now let's go to New York and I hoped that my new master had something to entertain me.
