Chapter 5

"TELL. ME. WHERE. THEY. ARE!" Blood splattered on the ground with every hit I had landed. I had beat this guy pretty bad, but he still wasn't giving in. I wouldn't be able to control myself much longer.

"I ain't telling you shit!" He yelled as he made a sign with his middle finger. I was in no mood for insults. I took a screwdriver and jammed it into his left calf. He let out a cry.

"It's been three days. You have two left." I said calmly and walked out. He kept cursing.

I had gotten far, far yet not far enough. I looked at myself in the mirror as I washed my hands. Twelve years of careful and meticulous planning, getting ready to strike and that little witch tries to ruin everything. I needed to get rid of her.

I washed up, got into my car and drove out of the warehouse. I'll attend to my little friend later.

🎵Dancing in the moonlight

Gazing at the stars so bright

Holding you until the sunrise

Sleeping until the midnight

Get up on the floor

Dancing all night long....🎵

I smiled as I listened to the song on the radio. Love is indeed beautiful, not for me though. I parked in front of a bar and stepped inside. My accomplice was already seated.

"Any leads yet?" He asked as I sat down.

"No, none. He's upgraded security. We won't be able to get past that easily." I said and took a sip of the drink on the table.

"And Greg?"

"Still not budging. I can hold out for two days. Nothing more. He's stubborn." I smirked.

"Argh, this is taking longer than necessary. I thought you were close." He's right, I was.

"I didn't plan a marriage happening. That's the only setback. Once we get rid of her there won't be any obstacles. He's already unstable."

"Don't kill her." He warned. I made a sour expression.

"Why not? It's the only way to-"

"What do you mean why not? Must you kill everyone? You can bribe to her to leave just like the other one." He said, looking a little flustered.

"Do you like her?" I laughed. It was possible.

"Of course not. She doesn't have to die, that's all I'm saying." He stood up and went towards the pool table.

"Whatever you say big man." Okay, don't kill her. What was I gonna do with that lady?..

"Hey you joining in? I feel lucky tonight." He called from the pool table, interrupting my thoughts. Did he just challenge me? I had a small smile on my face as I stood up. It's about to go down.

"Yeah, you always feel lucky." I said as we started playing. In the middle of the game he paused, I was winning. Was he about to give up?

"I'm getting married next week." He said carefully.

He slowly looked at me, watching my expression. When did this happen?"And why am I just hearing this?" I was both mad and disappointed. A little happy, perhaps. He deserved it.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, but we were so busy with the plan and all that I didn't have the time to -"

"There's always time to talk about things like that." I said coldly, my eyes still fixed on the table. I shot one more ball and watched it roll into the hole. "Always."I put on my jacket and looked at him. "Happy married life, Josh." I left the bar before he could respond and drove home, thinking of my next move. I decided to call my boss.

"Yes? Do you have some news?" I made a face. The only reason I was doing this is cause I needed the money.

"Yes. Some of the corporate files are in his house. We need a way in. But the wife is always at home."

"I'll take care of her." He said before dropping the call. I stared at my phone for a few seconds before deciding to retire for the night.
