#9 :: The Contract Killer

8. Courtney

As I pulled up to my house I couldn't help but feel I was being followed. I made sure my gun was loaded before getting out the car. Just as I got to my front door I heard footsteps.

"I don't like being ignored."

I turned around with the gun in the persons face and couldn't believe it was my sister.

"DAMMIT!! KIKI!! Don't come up on me like that!!"

"Take that damn gun out my face! I told you.. I don't like being ignored." She repeated.

"Kiki.. I'm not in your mood today. I'm not here for it." I said as I made my way into my house with Kiki hot on my heels.

"I need money Karmen!" Kiki demanded.

"COURTNEY!! COURTNEY!! MY NAME IS COURTNEY!!"

"No! Your name is Karmen! You can fool everyone else with this Courtney name but I have and will always call you Karmen! Now.. I need money."

I looked at her as if she grew two heads

"You need money? That's some bull! I gave you money already!"

"It's finished."

I spun around so fast.

"It's finished? What do you mean it's finished?"

"I had things to buy."

"Things to buy? KIKI I gave you a million dollars!! What did you buy? A HOUSE?"

"I had debts to pay. I wanted to be able to walk the streets without people saying I owed them. Plus I have to feed my habit in other ways! It's hard staying clean you know! What's the problem man? Just give me some money! I know mom and dad left you everything. Them motherfuckers were rich!"

I spun around and put the gun in her face,

"Watch how you talk about mama and papa."

"Karmen.. I'm not gonna tell you again! Take your gun out my face! I'm not these people you out here killing. Speaking of that. There's a bounty on who killed members from the Alfonzo mafia the other day. I'm pretty sure if you don't pay me.. they will." She said with a smirk.

I laughed.

"Now.. if you know I'm a killer.. why the fuck you think Ima let you say some shit like that and think you can just walk away? As much as I love you I can't have you blow my cover and make mama and papas death go in vain. Remember, nobody fucks with you so if I off you ain't nobody gon miss yo ass!"

I hated speaking like that but that's all my sister knows.

"That's all you care about.. mom and dad. KARMEN THEY ARE GONE!! THEY ARE DEAD!! The sooner you let them go then you won't have to do all of this!" Kiki said.

I really didn't have time for this.

"How much do you want?"

"Karmen..."

"NO! You don't come up in here and tell me what I need to do! It's not my fault that mama and papa did not want you but they wanted me! I grew with them! They was all I knew for fifteen... FIFTEEN YEARS!! For some bastard to just take their lives!! So if I want to kill every person I come across I will. You can't come in here and try act like your MY BIG SISTER when it's been ME wiping YOUR ass all this time!!" I said heated.

"One million."

"Excuse me?"

"You asked me how much. One million and I'll be out of your hair for good."
