30 Years In The Future
Tom POV
"How did you get those superpowers, papa?" My youngest, Nick asked
"Yeah, yeah, tell us! Did you come from another planet, or get bit by a spider?! ARE YOU, SUPERMAN?!" Anna said excitedly, she always was hyper.
"So for you to really understand where I got these powers, I'll have to take you back about 15 years, back when I worked as a debt collector for the Mob in Boston,"
My kids were asking how I got my powers, and where they came from, so I wanted to tell them. I have 2 children now, one boy, and one girl, Nicholas and Annabelle. I named them after my sister and my best friend. They were kinda young, but I can make the story a little bit more PG for them.
15 Years Ago, Boston
"I DON'T CARE WHAT IT TAKES, JUST FIND HIM AND GET MY MONEY" The Boss yelled
I'm a debt collector for the Irish Mob in the South Boston borough. I joined up with them after me and my crew was ambushed during a bank job a few years back. I was silent as I walk out of the building and go to my car, opening it I sit down. I turn on the radio ("I Fought The Law by The Clash" plays) "All right" I chuckle as I throw the car in drive and tear out of the banks parking lot.
I hear sirens from behind me "Well, here we go." I throw the car into 3rd and speed up.
I reach into the console and pull out my M1911 and chamber a round
"Looks like we may get messy, " I say, rolling down the window.
As I revved the car faster and faster, the sirens and lights begin to fade
"HA HA! I DID IT!" I cheer, checking the 4 full, overflowing bags of money in the back seat.
A Few Hours Later
"*whew* that was fun as hell," I said, bursting through the door holding all 4 of the bags of money
I walk into the kitchen and grab a cold drink out of the fridge, walk into the tv room, and crack open the drink.
As I drop onto the couch I take a drink and flip on the tv with a *Sip* "Ahhhh"
"Hmm, I wonder how much the boss'll take outta this..."
I reach over and grab the phone to dial the mob's number, but something stops me.
'I could just take this money and run.... No, I can't.... She'll die....... But if I just leave maybe she can get away...... NO! WHAT AM I DOING?!" I pace around the room, my drink now sitting on the heater getting warm. I realized that I was shouting when my neighbor, a nice guy named Nick came to my door and said "Hey man, can you keep it down, I'm trying to do something here."
I fly out the door and run down the hall to my car, jumping in and driving as fast as i could to the mob house with all 4 bags in tow.
"BOSS, I GOT YOUR SHIT!" I say as I bust through the door
"Good. it's about time," he says dissatisfied
'God, I wish I could shoot him.' i think to myself 'Why's he gotta be such a jerk?'
He grabs the bag from me and throws them to the ground by the couch, then slumps back into his chair.
"Y'know what?! I'm DONE!" I snapped, I rip my pistol from its holster and blast The Boss right in his face. His head snaps back and forth as the bullet whizzes through his skull.
I panic, run outside and jump into my car. I drive off as fast as the car can go, and hope I can make it to California.......
