Chapter 2

I awoke, I started moping around my room for a bit, mostly watching TV anyway. I hear a voice with a Chinese accent yelling upstairs. Eh, probably a angry consumer who used a broken dryer. Then I heard my mother say something, I only caught “...don't go down there.” Shit, is it a mugger or something coming down here? I make a grab for my razor blade in the bathroom. Right when I get to the door of the bathroom I hear the voice with the Chinese accent say “That would be not necessary, Mr. Dan.” I turned around quickly and see a guard from the Black Market in Wok Suey.
He looks to be 30, and obviously Chinese, with a black bullet-proof vest. On the front of his vest there is a Chinese symbol that I don't recognize. He said “I have proposition Mr. Dan.”
“What do you guys want?”
“If you couldn't tell, I am from local Black Market.”
“Go on.”
“My boss man wants you to kill Omar and Amir they are at th...”
“I know who they are and where they are.”
“Well you don't have be so rude Mr. Dan”
“Why would your boss pick me? I don't even have a gun!”
“Boss man says he in good mood and to give this.”
The guard threw me a pink revolver. “Does this really have to be pink?” The Black Market guard only shrugged and said “Cherish things you have. Also here's this.” He threw me a walkie-talkie that looked kinda expensive. “This is for when you are in emergency.” I took the walkie-talkie. Then I asked “How am I suppose to kill them without getting caught by the police?”
“Original reward for this mission is 400, but we bribe the police, but that reduce the reward to 300.”
“Tell your boss to bribe them. I'm going to take care of Omar and Amir.”
Assignment: Kill Omar and Amir
Location of Target: Local Department Store
Giver of Assignment: “Boss Man”
Reward: $300
This was the best day of my life. I get to kill Omar and Amir, and no one will do a thing about it. I can f**king shoot Omar in his face and no one will care! Oh no, not her. I pass by a old schoolmate from elementary. Her name was Sally Greene, she had her 4 year-old son with her. “Oh, well I didn't expect to see you in this part of town, oh yea I forgot you live here.”
“Yea well just shut the f**k up you whore.”
“What did you just say?”
On instinct I quickly pointed the pink revolver at her face. One part of her face looked like she wanted to laugh her ass off, the other was terrified.
“Please don't shoot me, Billy will be baptized for the first time. Please put that away, I beg of you!”
I put down the gun and she ran like a black man running from the police. Sally was a bitch I remember from elementary school at Jack Kanoff Elementary. She was a goddamn snitching tattletale, that snitched on every little thing. She especially snitched on me a lot, because she hated me for some unknown reason. I got sent to the principal’s office a lot because of her.
Finally, I got to that store. Now's my special chance to end this once and for all. I noticed a big nailed-in piece of wood covering that hole in the wall. Something was wrong though. Remember when I said that Omar is the only worker there? Now there were like 5 employees outside. Well, this might be a little more difficult than I thought. I had no choice but to shoot them. I walked up to one and put the gun on his forehead. His head exploded and the blood got in my eyes. I wiped them off, and shot all the other employees trying to run away. I didn't miss any shots. I used up 5 out of 6 rounds. One more for Omar, I'll think about Amir later. I walked up to the cash register, Omar was there, staring at me looking frightened. I raised my gun up, pulled the trigger, and I only heard a click. Maybe the gun's jammed, I pulled the trigger again, same click. Alright something isn't right here. I opened up the chamber and I got mad. It was a revolver with a clip of 5. Who's goddamn idea was it to put only a clip of 5 for a revolver and not 6! Omar used this time to bring out a shotgun from under the counter. He fired, I ducked the shot and I heard BLAM. I narrowly avoided death and jumped through the window of the store. I heard rapid follow-up shots BLAM BLAM BLAM. I hid behind a car in a parking lot and screamed in the walkie-talkie “I NEED BACKUP RIGHT F*CKING NOW!”
Immediately, 2 black, windowless vans drove in front of the store. Each had 4 guys in black bullet-proof armor, AK47us, with the same Chinese symbol I didn't recognize. I saw the same guy that gave me the assignment come out from one of the vans. He and his backup ran to the cars in the parking lot. The same guy I knew ran in my direction, with 2 AK47us. He threw the extra one at me, I barely caught it. All of us raised from our cover, and saw Omar running with his shotgun to the back of the store. I shot at him, I even hit him! Somehow he wasn't phased at all and kept running. I swore I heard him yell “You can't kill me! I'm with the Devil!” What? Suddenly, the ground in the store started cracking. I saw 5 demonic figures rise through the crevices. Each with a Gatling guns instead of arms. All of the backup, me, and what I assumed Satan's spawns began firing at each other. Our bullets didn't seem to do a damn thing. I felt a sharp pain at my shoulder.
I quickly went to cover and looked at my shoulder. It was only grazed, but seriously grazed. Damn we didn't seem to be doing anything to them. Wait maybe they have a weakness. Yea demons don't like anything related to god right? Wait, so holy objects. Where would something holy be? Come on think, think hard!
One of the backup said “DO SOMETHING DAMMIT!” “WELL I'M TRYING TO THINK OF SOMETHING!” Then it hit me, I know were something holy is. I walked over to my assignment giver who was reloading his weapon. “GIMME YOUR KEYS!”
“WHAT?”
“JUST GIMME THE KEYS AND I CAN ANNIHILATE THESE GUYS!”
He throws me the keys to his van.
“BE CAREFUL OF THE C4 IN THE TRUNK!”
That just made my plan better.
I ran as fast as I could. Right when I was halfway there, I feel a sharp pain again, in my leg. I had to keep going, I limped as fast as I could to the van. I brought myself in, put the key in the slot and turned. I drove right on out of there.
Oh yea, forgot to tell you I don't have a driver's license. I failed it at high school. I was on my way there, I might've passed a stop sign, or maybe 10. I don't care I just need to go. WEE WOO WEE WOO WEE WOO. Shit, the police. I bashed the car window with my gun and start blind firing behind me. I got to my destination, where else would you find something holy? A church. I limped out the seat. I saw the police car speeding towards me. I take aim, breathe as slow as I can, pull the trigger and...BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM. The cop car swerved into a building, with the sirens dying as well. I limp into the church, clutching my gun.
“...and young Billy, you will have the blessings of the Slut Mary, The ghost of being holy...” Uttered the words of the priest. “I can't believe my little boy is having his sins washed away!” Exclaimed Sally Greene, full of joy. Her naked son was being held by the priest, above a tub full of holy water.
Just then, I opened the church doors, sure enough, there's some holy water, just what I need. Everyone looked shocked, I guess probably because I had a gun in a church, and I got gunshot wounds in the shoulder and leg. Like I said, everyone was shocked. The priest was so shocked he dropped the baby, I heard a sploosh. I raised the AK47u in the air and fired a shot, everyone who was a woman screamed. I ordered “GIMME THE GODDAMN TUB OF WATER RIGHT NOW, I DON'T WANT ANY KIND OF BACK TALK OR I'LL SHOOT EVERYONE IN THE FACE!” Two men quickly went for the tub. I saw Sally trying to say something but her mouth was covered. Well, at least they follow orders. “GET THE TUB IN THE TRUNK OF THE VAN!” They did so.
I placed the C4 in the tub, which kind of overflew as if there was some unexpected space in there. Whatever, I switched the explosives on and found the detonator in the pile of C4, I put it in my hand. I got in the driver's seat and drove as fast as possible swerving oncoming cars with retarded driving to the store.
I was close to the store, I got my walkie-talkie and yelled “RETREAT THE STORE MOVE AWAY NOW GODDAMMIT!” My heart was pumping for this moment, what if I don't make it? I don't know, part of this job is taking risks anyway. I got to the store, the back-up had dispersed out of the way, Lucifer's son's still firing at them. I swerved the van into the direction of the store. My heart was pumping, my face was drenched with sweat. I grabbed the detonator. Yeah, you know what I'm going to do. You're asking right now, I bet, are you crazy? Hell yes I am. My foot slammed the gas pedal, and away I went. The whole thing felt like slow motion. It felt like a eternity to get the van into the store. In reality, it probably took like 3 seconds. Right when I was about to hit the store, I jumped out of the van. I hit the asphalt hard, and pushed the detonator. The store went up in a fiery explosion. The water was propelled by the explosion, and went in different directions.
I got up from the ground, and looked up at the store and saw the the Devil's friends writhing on the ground, their scream was hard to describe, but it was unearthly. Man, I really screwed the place up. I lost balance and fell on the ground again, everything was looking kinda fuzzy. Am I going to die? Damn, why did I have to die unsuccessfully? Why?
