The Killer's Success

I don't know why, but for some reasons they believed that I was sent here to guard Chris Liam. I looked around and I saw Lucas near the truck where Liam is, we made eye contact.

"What happened to you?" Lucas asked.

I cannot answer him because Liam's guard will find out about my spy earpiece.

"You should have told me that you are Mr. Manson's employee. I heard a lot about his company and he's truly trusted," one of the guards said. "I'm Ian, that guy over there is Oliver, Ler, and Sam. The guy that put a gun on your face is Denver. What's your name?"

I looked at them while trying to remember what they all looked like. I wanted to kill all of them one by one, but that isn't my goal for today. What I wanted to know is when did Dristan 'send' a guard for Liam?

"I'm Mike," I replied. I cannot let them know my real identity.

"Alright, Mike. I think you have heard about this already, that's why you are here. Mr. Liam has been receiving a lot of death threats. It is dangerous for him to be outside but he needs to attend this campaign," Ian explained. "That's why we are spreading to monitor everyone's movements. We'll never know, the assassin might be hiding in one of the crowds."

They sure know a lot of things,but if they do, why are they entertaining me? Does it mean they still haven't figured it out?

"Mr. Manson detected the death threats and told us that he'll send a special guard to help us," he explained again.

I'm so lost, I don't understand what is happening. Is Dristan helping him or are they making up stories so I can spill the truth.

"Jabez."

I heard Dristan's voice! I wanted to ask him, but I can't talk right now. "I'm the one who sent those death threats. I need you close to them so you can get close to Liam. I know you can do this alone, but I'm worried. Let me help you," Dristan explained. My eyes grew wider but I tried to act normal, they might think that I'm suspicious.

"What's the plan, Mr. Jabez?" Lucas asked. I cannot speak right now, Ian is walking behind me. He asked me to roam around with him.

"Go with the original plan, Jabez and Lucas. Put a lot of ricin on your gloves, Jabez. Shake every hand of the guards and offer them the first aid kit that I had delivered. Make sure to put some ricin on the bandage and ointments," Dristan explained. He does know what my plan is.

"Alright," I replied.

"Huh? What is it?" Ian asked who's walking behind me.

"Nothing." I smiled. "I should check that side," I said as I walked towards the truck where Liam is standing. "Lucas, I heard them talking earlier. Liam's going to get off that truck to take pictures with the people. Use that opportunity to wound his arm," I explained. I looked around and everyone's busy checking every corner of the place.

"How about you?" he asked.

"I know what I need to do. Just get out of here after you finish your task, whatever happens do not look back." I looked at Ian and he's already gathering everyone. "I need to go. I'll give you an opening later, if you can you should cut me too so it won't be too suspicious."

"What? No! I cannot do that to you!" he exclaimed.

"Stop being a kid. Just do it," I said as I turned off my mic.

"Mike! Come here!" Ian shouted. I waved my hand as a sign that I heard him. I took a last glance to Lucas before walking towards Ian.

"What is it? I asked, trying to act like I don't have any idea what their plan is.

"Mr. Liam is about to get off the truck to interact with his fans," Oliver explained.

"We are going to cover him. Do not let anyone get close to him," Ler said.

We form a circle where Liam's going to be at the center. He might be trash, but there's a lot of people who love him. It makes me sick everytime he speaks about making our country a better place. Everyone's going crazy, they all wanted to get close to Liam. We can't handle them. I looked back and saw Lucas, he is looking at me like he's waiting for something. I nodded and I felt something stinging in my leg, I looked at it and saw the blood flowing. I smiled when I realized that Lucas did what I told him to. I got out of the formation to check my leg, Lucas immediately used that opportunity to stab Liam's arm. Ian and Oliver helped me while Liam's bodyguards chased Lucas. I just hope he won't get caught. I know he won't sell us out but I don't want him to get in prison, he's too young for that.

"Hey! What happened?" Ian exclaimed.

"Someone stab my leg!" I answered.

"We need to treat that immediately," Oliver said.

"No. I'm fine, just help Mr. Liam," I said as I pointed at him. "Use the first aid kit in the car."

"Alright, just hang in there," Ian said as he ran to get the first aid.

Oliver helped me get up, I rub some rici at my hands and then I passed it to Oliver and Ian. When they touch Liam's wound it will be over. I wanted him to inhale this but it looks like it will be impossible. I looked around and everyone was panicking, I saw a motorcycle near the place where Liam was lying. I asked the rider to make some smoke in exchange for some cash. I grab a handkerchief and put some ricin on it. The rider makes a lot of smoke that makes Liam cough.

"Give him some towel!" Oliver shouted.

"Here, I have one!" I shouted as I ran towards them. Oliver grabs the handkerchief and puts it in Liam's mouth and nose. I smiled when I saw Liam trying to catch his breath. What a nice scene this is.

"Goodbye, Liam."
