The Assassin - Original Writing
Alex Salter stood in the alleyway next to The Cube. He lit a cigarette
to kill time. The flame briefly lit up his face, which was masked by
his cap and the hood of his jacket which he'd pulled up to make
himself less recognisable. As he waited he went over the plan in his
head, anticipating the finale; a grim smile crept onto his lips.
As Alex came close to the end of his cigarette he heard the doors of
The Cube opening and closing, so he put it out and leant up against
the wall. He was well hidden because he was set back from the street

shadows that completely concealed him. He put his gloved hand into the
pocket inside his jacket and removed his gun from it, putting it into
his jeans, leaving his hand holding it there. Alex listened carefully
as his victim locked up the club and walked towards his car. He heard
a click as the car was unlocked. Alex stepped out of the shadows and

he held ready for use. "Drive," he continued, and got in next to him.
O'Brien cursed under his breath. He had no choice but to follow Alex's
orders.
The journey was silent except for Alex's directions as to where
O'Brien was to drive. O'Brien was considerably calm. He knew he'd be
able to get out of it. He was Terry O'Brien. He owned The Cube, the
classiest nightclub in the area. He had all the right contacts and he
had all the girls he could possibly want. He was invincible. Of course
this wasn't going to be a problem.
Eventually they arrived at an old, disused dock. Alex commanded
O'Brien to stop the vehicle.

Construction of Holmes’s World’s Fair Hotel, or better known as “The Murder Castle” in modern times, began in 1890. The building consisted of over 60 rooms and 51 oddly cut doors.
