Excerpt from Chapter 5 Time to come out and play! I make my way back over to the access wall, all the while keeping up my lost keys jogging ruse. When I get back to the water, all my years of training kicks in and I hop the fence and run straight to the window before the man in the bushes realizes what happened. I grab him in a choke hold and choke him out in less than a minute. I reach into my pocket and grab two large zip ties and hog tie him. I realize how easy it would be to slit his throat and dump him in the river, but I don't want that kind of attention around the house this close to our job. I drag him over to the row of bushes along the wall that separates the river access from her property and pull his dollar store mask off. I slap the mans face until I see his eyelids start moving. Quick as possible, I pull out my tape and cover his mouth so he can't scream. As soon as the tape hits his mouth his eyes pop open and he begins to squirm. I can see him accessing the situation and see the moment he realizes he's screwed. "Who are you and what are you doing?" He gives me the "How can I answer you with my mouth taped" look and I respond by putting my gun to his temple. I cock my gun to make my point and rip the tape off. "As I said, who are you and what do you want?" "Fucile's sent me to make sure this job doesn't get screwed up," he mumbles, still half out and dazed. "And no one thought to just pick up a phone and ask? What if she would have seen you and increased security? Then you would have blown the job." "Look man, I'm just doing my job. I'll make the report back that you are working on the target and you will need to follow up with the family in a few days." "You tell your boss that if he has a question, pick up a phone. You need to stay the hell away or next time I will slit your throat and throw you in the river. You should thank God I'm a curious man or you'd be floating right now."
