… That night he just knew it is going to be very long, sunny and hot day tomorrow indeed. He was sitting on the edge of his bed and thinking. He knew he was professional, but when he looked over his shoulder that was whole another story. She was lying uncovered in the bed next to him. She had a long dark hair and tan skin soft as baby face. But he could not recognize his face anymore. He started to see smile on his face. After so long time, after so long time. He was scared. Not because he didn’t want to feel, but because he knew what is going to happen tomorrow. Tomorrow he might not see her ever again. On his last job. Contract is no longer valuable. Very simple job, but considering his position in that business, very dangerous. Other people were looking for him and he knew that. He felt something will go wrong.
He got up to take it easy. Only fools are not scared, only fools, he said. What makes difference between fool and smart person is being brave. Fools is not brave. Fool does not feel. He was walking down the stairs to his home bar. When he entered the bar he took bottle of vodka, his favorite. He needed his nerves to relief for the night. When he took a shot, the glass dropped on the floor. He saw her in front. It was just a shade of her. Movie in his head. He accidentally stepped on the glass and cut himself. The blood started to flow like a river following the moon light over the black and gold marble floor. He looked at the moon and a small tier dropped in his eye. He did not want to lose. And he decided he will not. The moon believed him. The full moon knew him very well. He went for a shower so he can come back to his salvation at the moment. He lived out of the moment whole his life, he knew how to deal himself. He learned every day. When he got back to bed he dropped to dream. Nightmares overcome his personality that night.
Next morning he left early. He did not want to say goodbye. He just kissed her shoulder. She smiled like she had the nicest dream ever. At the time he could just think about the same. He went in the other room to put on his suit. While he was putting on his black and thin tie, he received call to write down the address of the bank, bank account and the code in order to withdraw the money. He took the small yellow pile of notes and wrote it down. Then he took the first sticky note, put it in his pocket and just walked away. He was very calm and cold headed as he was supposed to be. When he entered garage cold air surrounded him because the air condition was left for the night. He liked the cold air before going over his jobs because cold air reminded him on death he used to deliver. Also, it reminded him to respect the life over death. He entered the car. He put his code on small LCD display in order to start his car. When the big engine started, his adrenaline went on very high level. He smiled a bit because he knew he was back in business. He took a deep breath and cleared his mind and soul. He hit the road.
He parked few blocks away from the bank. He looked at his watch and it was 8:08 am already. There was an old building across the bank. There was no one in the building and he knew that might be a problem for him, because of other negotiators, because of other people like he was. He decided to leave the car and move on towards the bank. When he was at the entrance he saw a small shiny reflection on the bank entrance door glass. He looked back towards the old building and saw small stick out the old broken window. He knew what it was at the time. At that moment he was not expecting nothing but finishing his job and being dead by the end of the day. When he entered the bank and gave all the information needed he was asked politely to sit down and relax for a few moments. Those few moments actually became at first half an hour and after that a whole hour. After an hour the bank manager came at him and asked him how much he wants to raise from the account. The balance of the account was 15,369,876.49 US dollars. He needed withdrawal of the whole account. He knew the assassin is going to need patience as never before to kill him. He was expecting this for a long time. Because at the business he was at the top since he started. Now, the game of patience started.
After 3 hours of processing the withdrawal and collecting the money his transaction was completed. He thanked the bank staff and started to walk towards the exit. He already claimed the fact it is all over. That contract is expired and he is free of charge, but also he claimed the fact it is all over for him as well on this world. He walked out of the building and took his stand. He knew the procedure. The negotiators and contractors are looking each other in eyes before they have been caught at the dead end. He raised his head and looked at the window. After few seconds he heard the shot. But there was something different about this one. All the birds that were in the area flew away towards the sun. He smiled, looked away and continue to walk down the blocks. He entered his car and waited for ten minutes. It was half past noon when one very familiar figure to him entered the car. She took off her glasses. His heart started to bump very hard when he saw her dark eyes of goddess and long dark hair. He kissed his lady like he never did before. He was smart, not a fool…
