Revenge

There was something about this part of town that always made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. Why was it that all clandestine meetings took place in creepy places? That was something she just didn’t like.

She got out of her car and looked around. There was no one there. It was all right. She was early. It helps when you are walking into the unknown.

She walked into the abandoned warehouse with her gun drawn. Her eyes darted to the dark corners looking for movement. She saw a plump rat scurry away as she walked farther inside the dark and gloomy building. She listened for any sounds and heard nothing.

She would just have to wait. It didn’t matter. She had waited this long she could wait a few more minutes.

She dropped her gun down to her waist and sat on a crate to wait for her appointment. She hoped they wouldn’t be late. She hated that.

It was four minutes past the hour when they arrived. Car tires screeching on asphalt alerted her to their presence.

“So here we are.” The mobster said as he walked into the warehouse with his bodyguard. “What do you want from me?”

“I don’t want anything but there is someone out there that wants you dead.” She said with a smirk.

“If you kill me, he will kill you.” He grinned.

“That isn’t what I heard.” She smiled and raised her gun to point at his heart. “I heard they all want you gone. Their loyalties have been bought by your rival.”

“I don’t believe you.” He shrugged. “You don’t know nothing about nothing.”

“You’re right but soon you won’t either.” She stood and took a step closer. She raised her gun and pulled the trigger.

The mobster fell to the ground, dead.

“Clean up this mess.” She said to the bodyguard.

“What should I do with him?” One of the goons asked.

“Put him in the river. That was where he put my father.” She told him as she walked toward the door. “I have business to attend to.”

She walked into the open air and took a long deep breath. Avenging her father really didn’t give her the satisfaction she hoped it would. She holstered her gun and climbed into her car. She drove away.

She had a new life waiting for her in another state with another identity. It was time to get to it.
