Heartless

War Declared

Still can't believe that fucking asshole showed up. I gave him $200,000 now he wants more. I get a text on my phone from a private number that reads:

Clock is ticking, $500,000 in 48 hours or your ass is mine.

I reply with:
Meet me at the Waco suspension bridge at midnight.

He read it but didn't reply. I decide to come back to the party but needed an excuse to leave. "Tracie hey, I just got a call from my mom, said she needs me immediately would you be fine if I left?"

"Yeah I have a friend that can take me home"
"Are you sure?"
"Jay, its your mother, go"

I rush out of the door, get in my car and head home. I keep cash in my ceiling so the government doesn't track a larger amount of money on me that wouldn't make sense. I grab 500 g's and stuff it in a duffle bag and walk. I show up at the bridge at 11:45 and turn off the car and wait. Then at 12:00 I got out and walked to the middle of the bride. I see Troy waiting.

"About time Gray, I thought you'd chicken out"
"Fuck you here's the money"
He reaches for the bag but I dodge his hand.
"How do I know you won't fuck me over anyways"
"Gray, you have my word"
"Your word? You're not even supposed to fucking be here"
"I took care of your brother, I'm on your side I just needed more money"
I start laughing.
"What the fuck is so funny"
I pull out my phone and on the screen it says "recording"
"I just got a confession out of you asshole, so if you blow this thing, I'll be sure you go down with me"
"You son of a bitch" he pulls out a gun and puts it in my face and pushes me against the rails of the bridge.
"Do it Troy, I've got a friend of mine somewhere in the distance filming this"
"You're bluffing"
"Sure I am" I grin. Then I point my finger behind him to make him look.
"What the fuck are you poi-" I punched him in the face then the stomach and hit his hand on the bridge making him drop the gun in the water.
