The Assassin

It was a dark and stormy night. The rain came down in torrents,

soaking the solitary man to the skin. He stood alone, silent, still

enveloped by the black of the night; he stood at the top of his drive

which led to his mansion.

Had the sun been glowing, this lonely man would have seen the car

parked up about half a mile from him, with its engine and lights off,

there was no cover for the car either as the man and his mansion was

surrounded by lots of fields and meandering roads.

Unaware to the man, the cars engine started but the lights didn't go

on, yet the dark restricted the man's vision so he didn't see the car

slowly crept up on him.

The car stopped and a man dressed in nothing but blacking clothing

jumped out of the passengers seat, He stared at the solitary man.

Suddenly the man's eyes snapped open. The look on his face was one of

absolute horror as if he had no recollection of his coming to this

place. He turned in a circle, taking in his surroundings and as he

did, he felt something small and sharp pierce his right leg. He ran

his hand over his calf and felt a liquid flowing out a little hole,

just like water running from a tap.

The man jumped back into his car but not before giving his gun to the

driver, then the car raced away like it was late for a very important

meeting.

The blood was running so rapidly that his blue and white stripy

pyjamas were now pure red, and there was no doubt that the hired

gunman didn't want to kill the introverted man, well not straight away

he wanted the lonely man to suffer as much pain as he can before he

die's, or lose his leg.

Something made a buzzing sound close t...

them.

The boy stood up to talk to the ambulance men. 'Don't leave me here

with…' Her eyes turned to look at the dead man. She ran to follow the

boy.

The ambulance man thanked the pair and turned to look at the dead man.

'Let's go. Please. Please can we go? I'm scared.'

They turned towards the road and walked away, leaving the ambulance

crew treating the man. Both in stony silence as the girl reached for

the boy's hand. He acknowledged this with a smile and together they

walked away. Away from the horrors behind them.

As the Ambulance men carried the dead body into the back of the

ambulance a dark coloured car drove past, the driver and passenger

seat's where both occupied by two male's, and both of them had a very

satisfying look on their faces. Like they had done something to be

very proud of.
