A boss who has absolute or nearly absolute control over the other members of the organization, is greatly feared for their ruthlessness and willingness to take lives to exert their influence, and profits from the criminal endeavours in which...
It has been a few days since the dropping of the letter at my doorstep and I've been cooked up in the house. I haven't even updated anything on my blog. My only friend Mathew has tried to call but I didn't pick as i was too drained to even pick or get back to him.
I felt so silly for doing all those things but right now i was out of groceries so i have to go to the store. I grabbed my car key's and credit card. I wore a simple flip-flops and wore a black overalls with a white round neck underneath it. My Afro was tied with a black bandana at the base so it won't be unruly. I decided on not taking my crutches and just walked with a limp slightly to the car.
The drive to the groceries store was about twenty minutes away. I packed my car in the parking lot and then entered the supermarket. I decided to take one of the shopping cart with wheels Because i can't walk for a long distance. I drove round the supermarket collecting toiletries, cheese, meat, hotdogs, shrimps, Crabs, turkeys, chicken, fish, milk, bread, cereals of different kinds.
I drove to the liquids section. I noticed that the soda and wine i wanted was on the high shelf. I sighed and stood up. I stood on my tippy toes to get it but that was a big mistake. The pain shot through my leg and i cried out and waited for the floor to meet my face but i gasped when i felt heat. I look up and i was tilted in the arms of a man who looked at me with concerned eyes.
He helped me straighten up and then. "Thank you so much" i said breathless. I tried not to stare but i couldn't help it. This man was the definition of handsome, his posture, his height and oh that smiled. "Not to worry little lady, are you alright?" I nodded slowly. "Yeah i just wanted soda and wine... But my favorite has been relocated to the top shelf" I stared pointing to it. He nodded slowly and reach up without having to move a muscle. I mean this guy around or well over 6f. I pointed to what i wanted and help me get both.
"Thanks you so much... My name is Zuri" I raised my hand and he grabbed them in his soft ones "my name is Leonardo.. it's nice to meet you" I didn't want to let that hand go but i pulled away reluctantly. I sat back on the seat and he accompanied me.. walking to the register. After they check out my groceries. I wanted to hand the cashier my credit card but he beat me to it by giving the lady his.
He carried all the bags and walked me to my car. I could feel the heat in my cheeks blazing as he helped me load up. "You didn't have to do that back there you know... I can pay for my own groceries" he smiled at me and nodded. "I know...I just thought that if i did... I would've earned a bonus point in your book" I looked at him and nodded shyly. I don't know what was wrong with me but the connection I'm feeling to this guy was at the maximum.
"Would it be completely tacky if i got your number?..." I stared at him shocked and then reached in my overall giving him my phone. He punched his number in and then called it. He gave me back the phone. I opened the drivers side and then smiled at him. "Thanks again Leonardo". He stood there as i drove away and i couldn't help but smile.
=LEONARDO=
I watched the black car drive away and smile softly which was immediately replace by a poker face when one of my button man walked over to me. " Boss.. you never gave me the Clip signal". I turned to face him. "I know... Disband" he nodded and left. I got into my car and drove back to my home shocked. I mean i went with the intention of silencing her and leaving her six feet under and instead i paid for her groceries and even got her number. It's part of the mission. If i keep saying that I'll believe if. I got home and went to my study pouring me a on the rock scotch and drinking it in one gulp. I sat down on my chair and pulled out Zuri's files. I read it over and over again like a mantra. Her eyes. Her smile. I groaned as i felt the familiar head in my body travel through me. Giving me a hard-on. A lady has never affected me the way Zuri did and i don't want to loose this.
My dad face flashed through my mind and i stilled. I'll just have to keep Zuri away from him, I can't let him hurt her. Emotions is the root of all evil. He words play in my head and i brushed it off. With the way he is.... I know for a fact he never loved my mom.. or me.
I remember when i was ten years old and i had brought a stray dog i named Seb, I was so happy with it and we play and played for hours, the next day.. Seb was found dead and my dad order me to go to the my room, pick a wall and start breaking the concrete wall with my hands. I knew my dad killed Seb but what could i do. I used the anger to Punch and punch. My hands were blood red and bleeding but i did not stop until i finally managed to crack it. I couldn't do anything with my hands for about two months after that that.
I shook away the memory and stood up heading to the basement. There a man was strapped to a chair and and he hands were taped on the arm rest of the chair like he was stretching out with his palms facing upwards. I looked at my man and he nodded. He took a metal cup and place in in the man's palm binding it with a duck tape. "I smirked as a kettle was placed in front of me boiling hot. "Mr Benjamin Griffin. We finally found you. You gave us quite a Chase." He looked at me frantically. "Leonardo.. I promise i wasn't going to screw you over. Trust me" I laughed and the grabbed the kettle. I walked over to him and poured the water in the metal cup strapped to his palm.
"You know Benny boy, metal is a very good conductor of heat and you're going to feel a lot of pain right now much worse than death". He face started to contort in pain and he started to scream at the top of his lungs making me smile.music to my ears. He kept screaming and screaming trying to shake away the water in the cup but to no avail.
He kept screaming and screaming until he passed out. I removed the metal cup from his palm and a little skin came off with the cup.
"Wake him up" I watch my boys as they walked towards him one holding a bucket of cold water.
Nothing can happen more beautiful than death.”
