» Sat May 28, 2011 6:47 am My tale starts with my birth, some 27 years ago, though it only truly began approximately six years ago, when I was given a chance to make untold sums of money, to gain respect and fear of those around me but most importantly, to keep my father, sister and daughter alive. And safe.
"Are you friggin' kidding me?""Muttered Leroy, loud enough to show his rage, but quiet enough so as to not attract the undue attention.
"You want me to try and kill Aaron Burn?""
"Why not?" Asked the scruffy woman, the stump which was the remains of her right arm jutting from under her sleeve. "He's just a farmer, I mean, it's not like you haven't murdered someone before. This time you'll get paid for it, more than paid for it. We can guarantee the safety of your family".
"Screw you [censored]; my family'll be fine, especially if I don't have Burn's goons after me".
"You really think that don't you?""Said the woman with a grin. "How are they going to know it was you? All you have to do is put a bag under a table then run like hell".
"And you can guarantee my families safety"."Demanded Leroy, it wasn't a question.
"Certainly, in fact I'll give you half of the payment now as a show of good faith. If you decide not to do it then too bad for us, but I don't think you'd endanger your family like that would you Mr. Beckett?" Said the sun-bleached blonde with a smile that suited the skeletal face she had.
As Leroy collected the money (What had once been Albuquerque had long grown out of the need for 'caps') he started to, once again, feel like his stomach was trying to leap out and [censored]-slap him.
Ahhh this is a bad idea Lee m'boy.
Shut up Roy, you don't exist.
Says you.
