The Vengeance

Chapter 2

When I awoke Nick left me a note saying that he went to the store and that I could do whatever until he got back. So I went and played some games until something crashed outside.

    I got outside to see Nick laying on the ground with blood on his face. I ran over and felt for a pulse and I got one, so i knew he was unconscious. I got him away from the smoking car and the man that got out had a pistol and aimed and shot the car behind us. I turned around and there in the car he shot was another man. He got out and it was Will and I was shocked to see a bullethole in his chest.
    Then it hit me like a baseball bat smacked me. The man who crashed into Nick was not an accident. Then Will took out his shotgun and blasted the man and he flew back from the force.
    I ran to Will and asked if he was okay and he said he was fine, we took Nick to the hospital, but was pronounced critical condition. I was able to see him ten minutes later and he told me to look for the "Skorpion Tail". I did not have any idea what he was talking about. I asked Will and he said it was a club in Manhattan.
    We decided to take a plane in the morning.
"Why were you there Will?" I asked
"Business." was his response
"What business?"
"The kind you shouldn't know about."
"Why was that man trying to kill Nick, and why did he shoot you?"
"I'm working for the CIA and that was a hitman."
"Which means what?"
"It means that he was hired to take out Nick."
"Why?"
"Nick got into some bad shit that he needed to sort out and gave the wrong answer to a very simple question."
"What was the question?"
"The man that hired the hitman asked Nick if he would pay or die, and Nick chose die, like the dumb fuck he is."
