"Whatever, let me go, I hate being late, I like keeping my word," I said.
"Hahaha, that's why I like you," Bricks replied.
"Yes sir!!" I laughed. "Where is the stuff??"
"In that bag," Bricks said.
I went to the bag. "Owk," I said. I took the bag and headed out.
"Be careful," Bricks called out.
"Sure boss," I replied.
"Call me when you are in trouble, owk?" Bricks asked.
"Are you dying??" I asked.
"What??"
"The only time you speak so soft with me, is when you are worried about something or when something is wrong," I told him.
"I am fine, just go," he said.
I nodded and headed out.
Leon
I was in my office busy with my job when someone knocked on my door. "Come in," I said.
Joe came in and closed the door. He sat down. "Sorry to disturb sir, we have a problem," Joe said.
"What is it??" I asked.
"The journalist," Joe replied.
"What did she do this time??"
"She is at the gate, she is screaming and screaming nonstop saying that she will not leave until you agree to an interview," Joe explained.
"Then let her stay there and make noise," I said.
"We are having a major meeting today with Mr. Luiz. You know how he is," Joe reminded me.
"Damn. Can't we forcefully remove her??"
"No sir," Joe said.
"Sigh... seems like I have to deal with this myself," I said.
I stood up and walked out heading outside to our exit gate. Joe followed me. I went to where the girl was. Indeed she was making noise; I could hear her from the company entry door. I walked to the gate and she saw me. I got to her and looked at her.
"I knew you would finally come," she said.
"Do you desperately want this interview??" I asked.
She looked at me. "This interview will be a breaking point for me in the journalism world. With this interview alone, my article would be front page and I could get a raise. Now anyone would do anything for a raise," she said.
I looked at Joe then back at her. "Alright. Come here next week Friday at 09:30 and you will get an interview. Better not be late because you will only get 20 minutes to interview me, now go," I told her.
With that said, I turned and went back to the company.
"Aahhh, thank you Mr. Wolf, I promise I won't be late!" she called out.
I kept walking. Joe followed me. "Boss, are you sure??" Joe asked.
"Don't worry, I know what I am doing. Do you still have the info I told you to put safe of the journalist??" I asked.
"Yes boss," Joe answered.
"Hand it to me before the end of today, I want to look it up," I said.
"O..k," Joe said as we returned to the company.
Beauty
I got to the flat and now I was making my way up to the 12th floor. As I arrived there, I looked for room 112. When I arrived at that room, I knocked. The door opened and it was a big guy smoking weed. He didn't even have a shirt on. I looked at him as my heart raced a little.
"Beauty??" he asked.
I nodded. He showed me in and I entered. I saw three other girls jamming to some music and two other guys as well. I greeted them and looked at the big guy. He came to me and showed his hand, asking for the bag. I looked at him fearlessly—but don't be fooled, my fear was at a 100.
"Not so fast, where is the cash??" I asked.
He smiled at me. "Hahahaha, now I see what Bricks meant when he said you are no pushover. Nice. At least you are not just small for nothing," he said.
He went to get the money. I looked at it and sat down counting it. Then after counting, I handed him the bag.
"Nice doing business with you," I said.
"Same here," he replied.
We shook hands. "Tell Bricks we will do business again sometime, I am impressed," he said.
"Will do," I said. "I aim to please."
He smiled. Just as I was about to head out, some guys kicked his door and entered the room. The girls in the room screamed and the guys I was with took out their guns. The other guys who just came also took out their guns. They were now pointing at each other as I hid with the other girls. Before anyone could utter a word, shots fired.
We hid behind the cardboard and my heart was racing as I was facing death. They shot one of the guys I was with, but he wasn't dead, he was just injured. One of the girls who I assume was his girlfriend stood up to run to him. I stood up to pull her down, but I was shot instead.
Bang!!
