The man crawled with his mouth seared with blood, and yes swollen due to the punch and everything.

When I tried to touch he fought back at me, swaying his hands blindly.

I flinched with a crooked grin curling at the corner of my lips. I like it when my crew always tries to fight back.

“Tick tock tick!” I called out but snarled at my last words. His body shuddered with terror.

He stopped to glance at me from over his shoulder, with tears cascading down his face. 

“You dare to drug her? What was your intention?” I asked while throwing a ball at the back of his head.

He fell with his face hitting the floor and when I got to him, I kicked him hard, using my knees to flip him over. 

His eyes were wide open, and his breath shallow.

Some thoughts ran deeply in my mind so I just laughed and shook my head.

“I’ll come back for you tomorrow.”  I turned to walk away.

When the guard that was stationed at the door walked up to me and had his head bowed.

I waved my hands in the air at him. “Watch out for him,” I warned, walking away.

As I got to my car, I couldn't throw off the memories that flooded my brain.

The tattoo on the man in there reminds me of my boss and my desperation several years ago. 

Flashback to memories from when I was nineteen and naive.

I've implored the services of an expert in a private detective firm to investigate whoever must have done this.

Also told my brothers from the brotherhood to help check if it wasn't our rival from the other mafia group.

I was a mobster, I didn't know I was one until the robbery day which took lives and then I was released after working my way out.

The brotherhood said I was supposed to return and pay my allegiance to the don but why didn't the don come to save us?

We were just hired as pawns to be finished.

Memories from the robbery that almost ruined my life.

\~~~>>
My mother had just been taken to the psychiatric hospital after she bit her neighbor and almost plunged a knife into a man's face.

She was taken there through coercion without my approval or my father's.

My father Horgan didn't even do anything to stop my mother from going to jail, rather he began to defame her.

I was told to take care of my mother wasn't free as I would have to pay for her bills.

I jumped into the street after dropping out of school to do whatever to save my mother from running mad.

It was at this point that a man in the street who always dashed me and my friend money to survive called us to his side that he had a lucrative job for us.

When he revealed that we would be robbing a bank, I disagreed saying we might get shot in the process and we might be jailed for life should anything happen, and who would take care of my mum.

I was so stupid to have revealed my mom as my weakness.

"Boy, you'll have to do it or_"

"Or what?" I asked in a deep tone even though I was just 19 years old and he looked 55.

He stared at me with a silent apprehension, not uttering a word blinking his eyes then gestured with his hand. "Follow me!" He said.

We followed in through a door, then walked far and went through another door, walking far and going through another door, and we stood when his steps had faltered.

I watched him crouch then open a lid and he waved his hands at us, urging us to follow him, some stairs led to somewhere darker underneath the staircase.

The man clapped his hands and the light flickered on, he walked towards a door, pulled it open, and gestured for us to get in while standing at the doorway, an evil grin tugging at the top corner of his lips.

My heart thumped as my eyes caught a glimpse of the horrifying sight before me.

A man was stripped naked and placed on a table, while a cloth was lit and the dripping from the fire was placed on the man's body while he winced in pain.

His mouth was gagged and I'm pretty sure there was no way he could talk with those things in his mouth.

I wasn't scared but I knew I had to walk into danger myself.

"Unbind him!" The man's voice erupted in the air and a man that I never noticed strode in to unbind their victim.

He was as good as a dead man but his grunt was what differentiated him from being dead.

"Make him kneel." He ordered and his orders were fulfilled with the victim dropping to the hard floor, the blood from his head painting the floor while we all stared.

"Kai you see this man here will die this moment." He uttered without any remorse in his voice, as if the man were an animal.
My eyes widened at his words. 

"Drake take this gun and finish him." My gaze tilted to my friend's side, and I could see the confidence in his face, the beaming smile on his face.

Drake walked in a fast manner, grabbed the gun from the man's hands, and pointed it towards the dying man.

"Shoot!" The man ordered and boom!
The skin of the gun and the smell of the gunpowder filled the air, and blood could be seen spilling from his neck.

The victim wasn't dead yet, he was still gasping for life and before I could close my open mouth, Drake walked to a side, took an axe, and returned to the man.

"What are you going to do Drake?"

I yelled, my heart already dropping to the pit of my tummy. There's no way I'll stand here to watch someone being killed by my best friend.

"Just watch." The man answered instead of Drake.

"Go on boy!" The man urged and Drake used the axe to butcher the man like an animal.

"Pleasant to watch right?" The man's brows arched at me. "This is what will happen to your mum if you dare to revolt against my orders, or try to run away from me."

We returned back to the room and we were six all recruited from the street, we were taught how to shoot a gun and behave like a mercenary.

On the day of the robbery, we were given the location plan and the bank plan to enable us not to lose.

The truth of the matter was that, the bank they gave us to rob was just a distraction from the initial target. 

A letter of the day we were going to rob was already given to the police and we were just used as pawns as four men died among my team. 

My friend and I surrendered ourselves and we were taken into custody.

Later on, I got to know that the man who had hired us was a mobster who was working for a dark mafia world.

They intended to rob the central bank in Los Angeles and so they have put our lives on the line to be killed mercilessly.

I heard their plan works well as they were able to break through the bank and go with a whopping sum of money.

And of recent, this very man had approached me to work for him or else he will take away every one or thing that I love.
Maybe it was he who had come back to threaten me and sabotage my business. 

Now, I don't think I'll ever allow anyone to use me anymore.
