Omen

Sold

Life sucks, well it did for Omen at least, he was in pain, tired, starving, and dehydrated. Thank god he was going out to meet a regular contractor, he could get some food and water before he collapsed. As soon as he was out from that underground hell he went to a small shop and snuck in.

He was in and out before anyone saw him but Omen put some money in the cash register. He might be an assassin but he wasn't a thief, he had too much pride for that damn it. Once he ate the food and drank the water he felt better and he went to meet the contractor. The job was simple, he was going after a serial rapist this time, all he had to do was kill him.

The person that gave him this job was a police officer, the cop hired him to take care of criminals that managed to stay out of jail. You'd be surprised at how many people like that cop were Omen's regular contractors. Oh the scandals Omen had the power to reveal, of course he never would but he still had the power.

Omen found the guy without much trouble, the guy was actually going after a girl at that very moment. Omen got one of his guns out and aimed at the guy's head, it was over in the blink of an eye. The guy was hit with the bullet and he fell to the ground while the girl continued to run until she realized that the guy was dead.

She called the police and one of the officers that responded was the contractor that wanted the guy dead in the first place. The contractor, Officer Dame, was the only one that looked up, he saw Omen and he smiled at him. Omen allowed himself to smile and he gave him a two fingered salute before disappearing.

Officer Dame actually got a discount whenever he asked Omen to kill someone, Omen really didn't care about money. Dame would give Omen five hundred dollars to kill someone, Officer Dame actually set aside money for Omen whenever he got his paycheck.

Omen had already gotten paid so he just headed back and dropped off the money before going to his cell. All of the money he got from his jobs went to the bastards that hurt him all the damn time. Omen usually got money every once in awhile by taking it from people he killed or fought.

Omen settled down in his cell and thought for a bit, he eventually took out a picture he had hidden in his coat. There was a hidden pocket that was just big enough to hold the picture in it, Omen smiled. It was taken before he became an assassin, the other person in the photo had a picture just like this one.

They were just kids back then, they had one arm around each other and they were both smiling. If only Omen could have told him, if only he could have gotten away, maybe they'd still be the duo they were back then. Omen frowned, he couldn't tell him, if he had he would have been hurt or worse, Omen wouldn't let that happen.

Omen put the picture back in the hidden pocket and he closed his eyes as he went to sleep. He should have guessed that he'd have a nightmare, it was rare for him to have a dream. This one wasn't as bad as a lot of the other ones he's had before but he still hated it.

It was about how he ended up here in the first place, he had woken up in his parents car after falling asleep. They were taking a long 'trip' and he had fallen asleep since they left really early in the morning. It didn't even take an hour for them to finally stop in front of a one story building and Danny had a bad feeling.

He looked at his parents, "What is this place Mommy?" He was only four at the time, he was four for god sake!

Maddie smiled at him, "Don't worry son, this will be good for everyone." She grabbed his hand and they walked closer to the building and Jack opened the doors. When they did they were met with a dark hallway and four people were waiting for them.

Maddie let go of his hand and Danny knew that this was bad, all of his senses were screaming for him to run. Maddie pushed him farther into the building and he turned around right as two of the people grabbed him by his arms and started dragging him away. "Mom, dad, help!"

They didn't do anything, they let him get dragged away and Jack turned to one of the men. "When do we get paid?" Jack was handed a case full of money and Danny got angry, his parents had sold him.

"You sold me?! You gave me away like I was some sort of object?! You're not my parents, your monsters!" That was when the door closed and Danny was dragged to his cell, that was the beginning of his new life. Omen sat up quickly and he looked at his hands, yup he was still an assassin.

He laid back down on his bed and looked at the ceiling before he rolled onto his side and fell asleep again.
