Short story

Oh what a sight my 1956 8 caliber gun was! The thought of never using it excited me. This

has to be used at a special time (when I reveal my father's killer). My grandmother gave it to

me when I was four. What a sweet woman, taught me to how to use a gun. She said she killed 5

people at once with this gun. I thought she was lying at first, but the glow in her eye spoke

truth. I guess I will go on to my next job. Phone rings!" Hello, who is speaking" ?. "You know

who it is", he said. Oh hey boss, you go another weak one for me. You know you are the best assassin I

have in my group right now. I need you to take on a big job. It's dangerous and crazy just like

you like it, he said. Sounds interesting, but I'm not done with the one I have now. Don't worry the

American took care of it, he said. I hate that American getting in my way. He shot my prey in Monte

Carlo. Calm down lina, he said. Bye boss. While I am getting my stuff ready I might as well as relax too.

This television is filled with so many American qualities, it bores me. I'm feeling tired very

second my eyes are attached to this ridiculous antic. Wow, did I fall asleep, I never fall asleep

like that. On the bed there is nothing. Where is my stuff, where are my guns. Oh good my

grandmothers gun is still here. Where's my earplug, I have no contact. (noises of knocks at the

door) I slowly walk to the door and look slightly through the peep hole. It's the American..I

slowly open the door for him lost and confused , but guarded. My secret gun is in my hand and

he positions himself to come in. Hey lina, wait wait he said. I'm not here to kill you, I have news.

What news? Start talking or I will release thetrigger right now. I shoot at the left of him an

and he

doesn't jump. I am not scared of you lina, he says. What do you need to tell me? My

corporation and you group have been terminated by your boss. He is trying to set you up, he

said. What, not true, he recruited me and I was the best he has ever since. Its true, he said. My

life is turning into ashes like you Americans are. We have to get out of here my love, before we

die, he said. Stop talking to me like that or I will kill you. Didn't you enjoy yourself in Monte

Carlo, he said. You mean when you took my shot. Lets go before some thing goes down and

you're the one who dies. We slide out the window and land on the street. Wait, were you

followed. No, he said. So what's your plan I have passports for Guatemala to catch him, he said.

My boss, haha you will never catch him, your too weak. I have his locaton, he said. Lets go then.

We jump on a plane and head to Guatemala. So where is his assistant located?, he said. He is

here, he takes different disguises. Last year I took a job here, and he passed by with news. He

said he would stay here till he died because of his family. He has never spoken of his family
