(1044 WORDS )

" Sorry " he says " Look unless you are in the ring with me or I am prepared for touch no one touches me . It's a rule . You are no different . Got it ! " I tell him . " Yeah sorry no touching got it . " He says just as Alex (ass hat ) walks in " Boss we got a problem " He says in a panicked tone . "Ghost is being sent a contract on one of us . " He says this get's my attention real quick . He has no idea who I am . They are either Mafia or Mob either way I'll find out once I get my other phone out of my duffel bag . Play dumb Lucy my subconscious screams at me . "What is a Ghost ?" I ask Roberto who looks positively pissed at Alex . " Just a business associate . I look forward to meeting him one day . " He says . " Ah ok well it sounds important . " I tell him ." Yeah it is . I look forward to seeing you Lucy . " he says to me . " I really hope not Roberto " I tell him for a second he looks pissed . " Yeah you are probably right . You don't belong in my world . " he says . 

" Last I checked this was everyone's world not just yours . " I tell him grabbing my bag heading to the door . On my way out I bump into Rex " Hey look I'm sorry about calling you a whore . Boss Is making me apologize so could you tell him I did my end even if I don't mean it , or even if you don't accept it . " He says  , "Yeah sure whatever . Not like I'll be seeing you anytime soon . " I say pushing past him . 

 " Actually you will . You fight our undefeated fighter in six weeks . " He says to me . That stops me in my tracks . " Sorry You're mistaken me I fight Jill from Russia . " I tell him . " Not as of two hours ago it's been rearranged and pushed off . I can't wait to watch Constantine crush you   . " He says . I scoff  " You just set back and watch her get her ass kicked . I've not lost a fight in my career ever and I don't plan on it now . " I tell him just as Roberto walks out and notices my interaction with Rex . 

 I put my ear buds in my ear and wave goodbye to the men who has basically ruined my day such ass holes . I quickly set my pace back to my place . Today has been an overall shitty day that's for sure . Once I get inside my place and lock all the doors I put away my gym bag in my closet . I grab out my other phone . I grab my second phone out of my bag to check my messages . Two messages one is from Victor and one from Antonio . I open Antonio's first because I know his messages aren't as urgent as Victors . 

 Toni- Job pick up packet at Dock 7 

 I text him back . 

L- Will do ! Time ? 

He texts me back almost immediately . 

Toni- Thirty minutes don't be late .

L- Got it . Who's dropping it off ? 

Toni - Vic head's up he's pissed .

L- thanks 

 Great no telling whats crawled up his ass . Or who has pissed him off . I know it's not me .

Victor- Rodent problem handle it . 

Victor - make that two . 

Victor - You there ? 

Victor -You know to always answer my calls and texts 

 Victor -You better be dead or close to it . 

Victor- Dock 7 be there or I'll find a new Ghost and you will sure enough be one . 

L- CHILL your shit . I'll be at Dock 7 in thirty I just got back from Gym . I've had a hell of a day already . Don't start your shit with me . 

I text him back . Yeah Toni was right he's definitely pissed . He texts back almost instantly . 

Victor - Make it 15 I got things to do .

L- Vic you know I already have to speed to get there . I have shit to do to . Cool your shit . 

 I grab my motorcycle helmet and put it on and head toward Dock 7 . First I make a few wrong turns to make sure no one is following me . Once I am sure no one is following me I ster my way toward our Dock . 

 I arrive just as Victor pull's his trigger . Shooting someone inside the warehouse . He is the only boss I hardly ever have to do a job for . He likes to get his hands dirty . I wonder who's pissed him off today . I walk into the warehouse and remove my helmet . "What is your problem today ?" I yell to the other side of the warehouse to where Victor is standing over a dead body . I recognize the guy as I get closer . It's one of his own . I've seen pictures of him . " You want to be next ?" He asks me . 

 I raise my hands to him . " Sure ! Go ahead . I don't mind You'll be doing me a solid . I embrace death ." I tell him in a serious voice . He cocks his gun , points the barrel at me and pull's the trigger . All it does is clicks . Jimmy look's pissed but he'd never say anything . Victor is his boss after all . " Feel better ?" I ask him he ejects the bullet that didn't shoot and tosses it to me . " Must be your lucky  day " He says to me .
