Before the Lights Fade old new original

First job

Tom pulled up to a older house and looked out the window. where was he gonna be going tonight he thought. this was originally exciting but now he thought about it that this was dangerous he didn't really even know Hans friend or this man he would be seeing tonight. what the fuck was Han doing sending him out in the middle of the night. he turned his head looking around at the other nice white two story houses and a blue one on his right. the trees were eerie darker the sky was still slightly blue but a dark blue but the moon was full. he looked down the drive and saw what he was told.

house 5823 S springwood he looked into the back from the car as he pulled a stop. he saw movement in the back and got out.

moving toward the house he felt a breeze of the summer air tonight. the streetlights were dim out here eerie against the ground. he moved past the porch and through the Gate on the side of the house. he saw the Garage in the back where a man was sitting with greying brown hair and brown eyes. about his height.

Hey are you heading back toward the city waiting for a ride? asked Tom. The man nodded and stood. he wore brown robes.

so this is who they sent huh? he asked. Tom nodded. Well, he spoke I have a nice set of guns over there. he pointed against the fence Tom grabbed the bag and shotguns against the fence. 2 big long arms he didnt expect to see out here if anything more so would be in a rural area.

why the guns? asked Tom, This area seems safe.

Insurance he said grabbing his bag and guns. he turned on his heel and said get in and drive I will pop in back and hopefully we get out without a hitch. im headed up to Jerrica's thats all you need to know for now. don't stop for nothing".

Ok he spoke. he looked around at the houses around and saw everything was practically deserted.

Talon looked serious worn and ragged. probably hadnt slept in a while. he got into the back and shut the door.

it was quiet enough. Tom got in and pulled off. the green sedan was black against the night sky.

you know you could of gotten into front said Tom. he turned on the radio low. the heat he turned on low.

the man grumbled out the words "shut up, I understand you dont know whats going on", said Talon. your just another paid employee.

I am just doing this for the money nothing more or less i dont know what i should know if you think i should know something please let me know. said Tom.

we escaped an ambush a few nights ago. I was driving a old beat up, made it as far as Sauk and they started shooting at us. my friends Nick and Lennie were behind me. Nick was on a Motorcycle and Lennie in another car. we got separated. they were shooting at us. I now know Lennie died on the way back lookng for me. I lost the men some point by a few blocks around here but the car broke down and I ran on foot. found this place and ive been hiding out here. had food thankfully in my bag but if my radio hadnt gone through this morning i dont know what i would of done.

well glad i can come to your aide said Tom. who is Nick?

were all racers from up north we dont even live out here. said Talon. ask jerrica if you want to know more but for now im going to sleep.

ok said Tom. this is awkward he thought. he pulled a right onto main and came up to the red lights. he heard screeching behind him and Talon jumped to the alert. Go he shouted go.

he heard bullets and pulled through the red lights covering his face with a bag on his seat.

they were the only two cars on the road he gunned it and pulled a right. Drove down four blocks and pulled a left almost crashing into a pole. he gunned it again and looked ahead at hwy 14.
