The Hunt

"Hello? This is Michael, what can I do for you?"

"Michael, its Hayes. We need to talk. Soon as you can."

So, I met him about twenty minutes later.

"We got a lead. We heard chatter over the radio that there was a hit out for you. Twenty-million dollars. Forty if you are alive"

Viki looked at me and whistled. I knew what she was thinking. That's a lot of money. Which means a lot of fun for the future. If I turn myself in, I can get close. If I have Viki turn me in, then she gets the money, and I still get to get close to the people I want to kill.

"Thanks for the heads up. I'll be careful."

"You better, we are all hoping that you get these sons of bitches." With that, he got back into his car, and drove off. Looking at Viki, a plan had come into my mind.

"Viki, want to help me have some fun?" she looked at me blankly. "I'm going to ambush them. You are going to get them to me. Call the fool, and tell him you followed me back to a warehouse by the docks. I'll set up a trap for them. Kill whoever they send for me."

"You can't, it's too dangerous."

"It's the only way to do this"

"i won't let you do this. I swear i'll stop you." The look in her eyes was pure power.

"Ok, fine. I won't go. But how do we take care of this?"

"Well grab his son. Have him get his dad to call it off"

We went to bed, knowing what would have to happen. She went to the bathroom and took a shower, walking out in a towel. She went to my closet, and grabbed a shirt. Dropping the towel, she put my shirt on, and climbed into bed. I got in the shower, and when I got out, I put on a pair of sweatpants. Climbing into the bed, she rolled over, and looked at me. She started kissing me, and after we kissed, we started having some adult fun. Waking up the next morning, she was already in the kitchen, making some food. Glancing up, she smiled at me and handed me a mug of coffee.

"What would I do without you?" She just looked at me and smiled. Opening the paper grabbed, i sat down and read all that was going on. I looked down when the plate of food slid under my paper, and looking up, i saw the man with the bazooka behind my house.

"VIKI MOVE!" i yelled as i pulled her over the table, running to the bunker that's under my house. The heat i felt before the door shut was insane. Knowing I had nothing left upstairs, I called one of my buddies from the Island.

"Yo. Come to where I was staying. Bring a dozer."

"Why am I bringing a dozer?"

"My house was blown up. I'm in the bunker and cant get out." About ten mins later, I hear a big diesel motor start up. Next thing i knew, the weight on the door increased, then nothing. Opening the door, I had Viki hand me a gun, just in case somebody was outside, waiting for us. Seeing that all looked clear, I opened the door the rest of the way and led Viki back into the sunlight.

"What did you do to get yourself blown up this time?"

"Went to war with the mafia."

"Sounds like you. Why did you do that?"

"They killed Astrid."

"Oh. If you want help, im here."

"Well, want to kill some people

?"

"I have a couple of contracts I have to finish first."

After he left, I looked at Viki, and made a decision. It was time to call in every single favor i was owed. It was time to put an end to this feud i was having.

We went to one of the houses I owed, that nobody knew about. Walking to the closet, I got a suit out and grabbed my holsters and knives. Throwing on a red tie, I started to walk out the door. It was time to rally the troops. As i went to walk out the front door, Viki stopped me.

"Hey, turn around." Doing as she said to, i turned around, and let her adjust my tie. Kissing her, i turned and walked out the door to the car that was waiting for me. Climbing into the back seat of the mercedes, I had the driver take me to the meeting. Walking in, I knew there might a problem. I didnt expect for it to be that problem.

"Is this all there is? I call in my favors, and 6 people show up." I started across the room. Standing in front of the group, I explained why we were all there.

"We are going to get rid of the Mafia. One by one. This guy is first. If you see him, kidnap him. I want to be the one to kill him." I showed them a picture, then turned around and walked back out the door. As I was getting into the car, a young man ran out of the building, trying to get to me.

"Why do you want to kill him?"

"He killed the only other person I've loved"

"He's my brother."

"Then go home."

"I want you to kill him. He killed our parents. He hangs out at the Silver Dragon."

"Thanks kid. Want a ride?"

He walked around to the other side of the car, and climbed in after my driver opened the door. I got in, and we went to find his brother. Walking into the Silver Dragon, everybody pointed guns at us. Whistling, My back-up walked in the door, with much, much bigger guns.

"Okay Gentlemen, let's have a talk. Im looking for somebody. And you guys are going to tell me where he is." Getting a bunch blank stares, I reached in my pocket and pulled out the photo of the guy i was looking for. I handed it to the first person within arms reach, and watched his look at the picture. He didnt know him, so he passed it on. The entire thing went on for about ten minutes before the look of recognition came to somebody's face. He passed it on like he didnt know, and started looking around with his eyes.

"You there, in the red zip up, come here."
