Chapter 7

The next day at home I sat in my living room and went through a "Play by Play" in my head of the events of last night. What? What? You want me to kill who? Do what now? I closed my eyes and rolled my neck. Then I quickly jumped down off the couch and got on my knees in a praying position. "God," I said out loud "God, I'm sorry, I'm a born sinner. And I think I'm addicted to it.-"

"Addicted to what?" said a figment of my imagination. It was an image of Becky. "To me?"

"No! Oh God, I'm talking to myself."

"What makes you think that?"

"Because, you're in prison."

She walked over towards me and sat on the couch, I sat next to her. "What if I told you I broke out..."

"You didn't. Ugh." I threw my arms up in frustration and stood up. "I can't be talking to you right now."

"Why?"

"You know why. Or I know why, no no no no no..." My phone rang it was Bruce. "Bruce." I said walking away from Becky. "What's up?"

"This isn't Bruce." said Alexandra "Bolvi wants to meet you, he has a job for you, it's a small job and it pays."

"Yeah, where, and why do you have-"

"Bruce's phone? He's over here at my house, we have a appointment today for two hours in my office. And I'm hoping you can get here to take my husband out."

I leaned against the kitchen table and threw my hand up in confusion. "Do you mean take him out take him out, or...?"

"What?"

"Do you want me to take him out now?"

"No, no, no no, not yet! When you get here, he'll give you a job, and he'll go out of the house to watch you."

"We need a code word."

"When we are in the same room, and I look at you and say apples to oranges that means I want you to take him out sometime that day."

"Alright, text me the address, I'm on my way." I hung up the phone and Becky smiled at me. "Oh shut up."

When I got there Bolvi's men escorted me to his office. His office was small for a mobster's. His desk was filled with cocaine, weed and heroin. Money was all over the table, and two armed men stood behind him. He welcomed me in and motioned for me to sit across from him. I did as I was told.

"David, right? David Blood?" he asked

"Yes, sir."

"You know how to handle yourself..."

"You can say that..."

"Ever killed a man?"

"Yes."

"How many men?"

"Plenty..."

"There are these lawyers, that don't like me...I need you to kill them...One's at his house, the other is in his office... Once they're dead, the charges drop, and I'm back in business. I'll give you ten thousand for each kill and an extra five thousand each if you make it look like an accident."

"Give me their locations, and I'll be done today."

Becky appeared behind him smiling waving a gun around. She pointed it at him and giggled. I kept my eyes on Bolvi ignoring her, then he loaded the gun. Bolvi was talking but I wasn't paying attention.

"...And, I said over my dead body." he said.

I smirked and got up to leave. "It'll be done sir." we shook hands and I left. When I walked out of his office I pasted by Alexandra's office, the door was almost shut, just through a crack between the doors I saw them. Her back was to the door in a chair, and Bruce faced the doors sitting across from her. Bruce smiled at me then Alexandra in a short skirt closed her legs and turned to look at me. I walked away and grumbled. "Goddamn, what did I get myself in to?"
