South Central - The Hitman.
I grew up here, it was a relatively quiet place to live .
The suburbs. Over 35 years it got busier, more dangerous. The story spans around 20 years.
Its a Tuesday and my phone is ringing, "what do they want"? I thought
"Hey"
"Hello, are you free to talk"
"Yes, what's up.?"
" Meet you outside McDonald's in, an hour."
"Ok, thanks "
I had just woken up and I had planned to spend the day with my daughter.
Her mother liked to sleep at least until lunchtime.
An hour had passed.
I walked to the counter, large sprite please.
I was hungry but the phone call was unexpected, something had happened.
I was nervous,
A car was waiting outside, different one again.
I had to keep track of details like that for my own safety.
I entered the car.
"Hey, how are you." Dave asked.
"Meet the boss, Steve"
I was sat next to the intel boss in the back seat of the car. My heart is racing
What was happening.? I thought
This was serious.
Where's your friend, (the hitman) Rob. The boss
"Not too sure why"
They wanted this guy , badly. We were sort of friends.
I saved his life, he had been stabbed.
His friends had set him up, nowhere to go.
A&E wasn't an option, as the police were probably looking for him .
He said he killed the other guy.
This was last week, what has happened now I thought.
"Do you know what happened last night?" Steve asked.
" No " I replied
" A body was found in a burnt out car"
This was the second murder in days, not including the guy the hitman had killed.
I was in the pool, figuratively.
TBC.
