Her death

EPISODE ONE

"Drive... drive" she shouted on top of her voice looking at the side mirror here and there. The driver swayed left, then right nearly hitting a young boy selling magazines. The kid grins as he slid between moving cars trying to advertise the newspaper. It was late afternoon. The sun is nearly out of sight as people are seen packing up and closing their shops while some are just displaying their wares. The driver stepped on the brake all of a sudden causing cars to hit them from behind. So much for trying to save a young boy. A gunshot was fired at the car which hit the side mirror. 

"Les, they are closing up on us. Shoot the fucking gun and kill any motherfucker out there". The driver, James said. 

They drove directly into a catholic. The car scattered everything on its way. "No... no.. not David... the one with the small..."

"Dumbass, you still have time for jokes".

The car turned right. The not too bright sun shone into the car. The view shows a young lady in her early 30's sweating profusely while trying to load the gun.

"James, get down" she instructed. 

The driver lower his head a bit and rolled down the window. Boom, the sound was heard as Leslie shot a black Mercedes benz. The bullet went straight to hit the driver. He dropped dead immediately as the car lost control and eventually fell off the bridge. 

"One down " she heaved and smiled. 

"Les, I can't find any of the cars behind us, can you?". She looked back and chuckled. 

"Seems we lost then".

They drove down the bridge and turned left, into a lonely street to avoid securities. 

"Holy shit!! It was a trap". She looked up and saw they've been crossed.

"Reverse " she screamed. 

"Do you have rabies? Shut your fucking mouth and look behind you".

"Fuck, so we didn't lose them. These fools need some proper training. Load those guns, and let's fuck some people up".

Eric Werner, a mafia lord in Mexico, the most wanted criminal, a hardened criminal, biggest cocaine dealer, talking of drugs, Eric is the biggest plug, turned over on his bed and groaned. His phone was ringing non-stop. He opened his right eye, but his aching head throbbed even more persistently, so he closed it again and tried to guess whoever was calling. 

Oh my poor head! Leslie made me drink this much.

"He..ll..o bo..ss" the caller stammered. The fear in her voice was obvious. 

"Leslie, what is it?".

"Boss, the goods were hijacked ". She replied. 

"What?!!, what do you mean?" He shouted and the whole building shook making all the gang members run into his room.

They were dressed in an expensive, tailored, gray - vested suit. The fear on their faces couldn't be mistaken.

"You know how long it took us to get these goods from the Chinese, you know me and you choose to dare me" The evil aura is sensed in the room. Everyone shook with fear because they know that one way or the other, they will be affected. One way or the other, Leslie is going to die.

"I'm sorry boss. They overpowered us."

"Who hijacked it"

"Samantos"

The sparkle in his eyes was replaced with fire. His gray eyes changed to black. His smile no longer reaches his eyes. Evil smile.

"The goods worth over 400 billion dollars ". "Did you get shot "?

"No boss".

"Oh wow, you didn't get shot and they left with my goods, Leslie, my goods, or your corpse". "You gat to pick one "

"Boss, I'm sorry. You know I've never failed a mission "

"Shut the hell!. You just failed an expensive mission "!. I don't like repeating myself. 

"My goods or your corpse"!

He looked around the room and acknowledged the fact that his members are there with him.

Samantos is becoming too daring. He knows me and chose to play with me.

"He chose to play with fire!!!" He shouted and the whole building shook. The guys were no longer surprised. 

A phone call jolted them back to life. Red, as he is popularly called stepped out to hand over the phone to Eric. Red, second in command, fastest shooter. He is called Red because of the number of people he has killed. He looks deadly dangerous. After Eric, no one dares him. A scar was visible on his face showing he had a rough childhood. Well, what more can you expect from a Capo? He relocated to the city after being beaten to a plump when he was younger. He tried to steal a car from the blacks which brought the scar. Oh well, he is also black.

"A call from your father ". He handed over the phone to Eric.

"Hey man"

"My boy, how are you doing " A voice asked from the other side.

"I'm fine, how're you too "

"You don't sound fine"

"Yeah, I'll handle things myself ".

"Okay then, can you send two hefty boys over? I need to beat some people to a plump. 

"Dad listen and listen good, I've sent most of my boys to beat one person or the other.

"Yes, I know but their hands are weak already ".

"I'm not sending anybody over. Okay??

He ended the call without waiting for a response. 

Mia Werner, a loan shark, a druggie, is also the most wanted criminal. He has partners globally. He takes over properties forcefully and you can't protest either. Borrowing from Werner is the worst thing that can ever happen to you. The interest will keep rising till you get tired. He works with the code "Omerta" which means don't ever talk to authorities. It was no news when he raised a son like Eric, who seem more deadly than himself. Even his wife hated both father and son.

Eric stands out everywhere. He is usually taller than most people and looks elegant. He had a lean dark face and almond-shaped gray eyes which change to black whenever he is angry. He is bad without being told. His mouth was beautifully shaped and thin-lipped which makes his face more attractive. His black short hair gave him the look of a rich spoilt kid.

A car driving into the building brought everybody's attention back. Eric peeped out the window and saw Leslie and her driver shaking to death. He looked at red:

"Kill her and her driver if they are not with the goods and get me a new assistant as soon as possible!.

"Yes boss".

The team went out just as the driver was packing the car. The blue Venza 2021 model was a bit scratched and the car side mirror was broken. A lady dropped down from the car, a light-skinned petite lady. Her eyes almost popped out of fear. She wore a blue jacket slightly faded, a white inner with a blue jean skirt, and blue heels to match her dressing. The driver dressed corporately, a black suit and a black shoe. 

"Did you get the goods"

"Red.... please... listen to me". She stammered. The beating of her could be heard miles away. She was sure if she was not careful, she will be dead in the next minute. 

"Did you get the goods" This time louder and more dangerous? He brought his gun from his pocket and pointed it at her aiming her head.

"Samantos... got..it"

Boom. The sound of the gun could be heard piercing directly through her head. She dropped dead in the next minute. He faced the driver. 

"Same thing"?.

"Y....e...s"

Another sound is heard.

"Clear this mess and get boss another assistant the next minute ".
