A Chance At Love

33

Unknown

Richy and I have been in this lab for the past four hours trying to see who the guy Demon is trying to murder. We had to wait to get the blood back from when his goons hit the target.

The guy who told him to leave the crime scene that day he got hit, was one of our men. We had to get his blood from the concrete pavement so Richy and I could see for ourselves who we're going against.

Demon doesn't want us to know who the target is, but I've dedicated my life to this for the past year so I deserve to know who he is.

You'd think we know who the person is since we've been spying on them for about 4 months but the equipment Demon gives us has a specialty to not give us a view of their face.

Impressive

We had to wait at least 3 weeks because there's multiple people Demon is trying to kill. Yet this guy is the number one person.

It keeps me up at night to know who he wants to kill. Everyday and every night I think of all the possibilities.

Is it his brother, cousin, father, past lover, or could it be a long last friend who pissed him off?

All these questions yet no answers

It bothers me...

Ding!

Richy and I looked at each other and smiled knowing we just hit the jackpot. We ran to the machine that beeped and got the paper that came out of it.

Richy had gripped the sheet of paper from the machine and his eyes widened as his lips parted tremendously in shock.

"Oh my God." He whispered

"What, what is it?" I asked curiously

I took the paper from him and squealed not believing what I was seeing.

I know him. I know who Demon was trying to murder, I just don't know why he would want to murder someone so close to him.

Why would anyone want to murder someone they gave birth to?

Why would anyone want to murder someone they helped create?

Why would anyone want to murder the person who gave them happiness at one point in time?

Why would he want to kill the person I know he used to love and protect with every ounce of strength he had in his bones?

How could he even have the soul to murder the one person who should've mattered the most to him?

Why did he have Richy and I doing his dirty work if this was the person he wanted gone?

He could've did this task by himself and nobody would've said anything because of his title.

Was he scared?

No, he couldn't be scared...

Demon isn't scared of anything

But if this was the person he wanted to kill, why did he need us to do it?

Does it break him to murder his own? To murder someone so close to him? To do something so wrong to someone who I knew doesn't deserve it?

With all of these questions on my mind I crumbled the piece of paper and threw it in the trash.

This was my final day doing this shit.

How am I supposed to work for someone who wants to kill his own son?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Richy

I couldn't believe it; He actually wanted to kill him.

Demon actually wanted to murder his own son.

But why?

What could he have done to deserve this?

Demon's son and I grew up together, we were inseparable. People always thought we were brothers, because we went and did everything together. Sadly when I was 12, my family and I had to move to San Antonio and we haven't talked since.

It hurts to know that all this time, I've been spying on a brother to me because of his father.

I've been through intense training to kill the person who I promised I'd never hurt.

I was taught by Demon to never feel for any of the "enemies" I was going to be put up against, but looking at the picture of the teenage boy I grew up with makes me think otherwise.

The person on the picture was someone who's never look at me the same if we ever saw each other.

Especially if he knew I was trying to kill him

Especially if he knew I've been spying on him for at least four months.

He'd never forgive me

But what about the girl?

Growing up we used to be each other's back bone, even though we had a age difference. I'm at least 6 years older than him.

My father and Demon were friends when they were younger. They even worked in a company together, but that was until Demon went against him.

They were supposed to be two most powerful men in America working side by side, but when my father found out that Demon had stole his money out of his account my father moved us to San Antonio.

I pleaded my father not to let us leave, because at the time, I didn't understand what was happening. All I knew was I couldn't leave my best friend.

But before we could move, my father was murdered by Demon.

My family was devasted so I was forced to move, but as a few years went by I grew older and always questioned where my father was.

My family would always say "away" but he was "away" from the time I was 12 up until 16, and I knew something was wrong.

I thought he abandoned us, but when my mother told me what Demon had done to our family my blood boiled with vengeance.

So I promised my family to move back to Arkansas and kill him for what he had done to my family.

I promised my family that I would make it back in one piece.

I promised my family that I would bring a woman to bare my children.

I promised them with everything within me, and for the past several years I've kept that promise.

So I thought working with Demon would be the best way to do it so when I backstab him, it hurts him the most.

Just like he did my father

But now that he wants me and my babygirl to murder his son, I realize I can't hurt him and my old pal too.

I wouldn't dare do that to him.

Even though I haven't seen him in years, I wouldn't do anything to harm a him.

I couldn't

Romeo is like a brother to me.

He'll always be
