Alex gave a light knock on the door and walked in without waiting for a response. The office table was stacked with books, files and a laptop. A bookshelf tilted to the wall with a medium size refrigerator close to it. Alex stood still at the sound of an open door. He gazed at the mirror looking at his reflection.
'You are late' A husky voice said.
Alex still looking at the mirror responded, 'I am sorry boss, the receptionist delayed me. I guess she is new here.'
'That shouldn't be an excuse.' The voice echoed. 'I hope you are well prepared? '
'Yes boss. You know I don't disappiont, viper doesn't disappoint.'
The man walked to the table and sat down in the swivel chair. 'I trust you viper. I just need a clean job.'
Alex looked at him and gave a crooked smile, 'yes boss'. Alex shut the door quietly, his mind set on tomorrow's job...
Alex snapped out of his thought, he stood up feeling debilitated by the effect of the wine. He walked into his bathroom, pulled off his clothes and hung them on the hangwr. He switched on the bath tub and then dipped his whole body inside the warm foamy water. With his eyes closed, he hummed silently enjoying the warmth of the water.
He came out of his dressing room few hours later looking like a ninja. He wore a black polo, a plain trouser and a hood. On his left index finger was a silver ring with a brown rusty tip. He glanced at the ring and hardened his jaw, memories flashing through his mind. Alex took his bag and then dashed to the car park.
Alex ignited the engine of his car as he inserted the car key. He drove the car backward and then turned left towards the direction of the gate, heading to his destination.
