003 Part 1

The Painted Skull

Chapter 1

He started up the stairs. A silenced 9mm pistol in his hands. The suit clad figure listened through the wall and 3 seconds later he kicked the door open.  A small man was sitting in a folding chair reading a playboy magazine. He looked up in surprise as the figure raised the barrel of his pistol. He never even had a chance to scream. The magazine had a neat little hole through it, so did the guys forehead. The back of his head was a different story though. As the figure moved past the body, he opened every apartment down the hall. When he got to the last one, apt 104 he kicked it opened. A man at the door was knocked over and the interrogator turned around to catch a bullet to the face. The man in the suit grabbed a maraca and used it to knock the other man out cold. The hostage, a young woman of around 25 was screaming and trying to get the blood and brains off her cheek. The figure cut her loose and told her one thing "my name is El Bondo and I'm here to rescue you".
