Chapter Five

I awakened to the sound of broken glass.

Quickly, I turned on the light, looked at the time, and realized it's 2:45 am.

Who the f**k is in my house?" I asked myself ransacking my bed drawer as I brought out my handgun.

I stood up from the bed, walked out of my room down the stairs. Everywhere became quiet, not a sound was heard. I carefully climbed down the stairs into the living room as I turned on the light.

No one was a sight that left me baffled, my ears never fail me, I sure heard a noise.

Loading my gun,I walked slowly and quietly towards my dining but the coast was clear.

I looked around and felt someone's present, "Who is there?!"I asked with no sign of fear in my voice, I was so ready to burst the f**k the brain out of someone's head.

Suddenly, I heard another sound of broken glass coming from my kitchen and quietly tiptoed towards it.

I hid at the back of the door getting ready to fire my gun at the intruder.

Quietly, I opened the door, with my gun pointing directly to the figure, I quickly fired but the intruder was fast enough to miss it.

"What the f**k Nancy!!" he shouted in fear, I quickly panicked, turned my lights on realizing it's Ruff as he raised his hands at me.

"Am so sorry sir" I quickly dropped my gun at the counter and walk towards him, "I thought it's someone else" I apologized.

He gave me a look and smiled, "You are too quick to react... anyway I like that" he looked down at the broken glass cups.

"I am sorry about this, it slipped and fell, " he said taking an apple as he walked towards the living room.

I followed suit behind confused why he came by this time and how he gained access into my house.

I watch him sit down, taking another bite from the apple, and gestured me to seat, which I did of course.

"I know you are surprised I paid you a visit by this time, well...." He took another bite eating slowly.

"I have a job for you...and this is very important" he stopped eating, his face hardened.

Bringing out a file, he opened it and brought out a ton of clipped papers, he gave them to me telling me to go through them.

"I will be away from the US for a week" he suddenly said as I looked up at him.

"Why sir?"I asked surprised by his sudden travel.

He looked at me with a straight face, no whiff of a smile on his face, he looked opposite to the Ruff I know.

Folding his arms, his gaze not leaving mine, "Our new prey is the president's son, I  want you to kill to kill him" he said authoritatively as I sat there in shock.

"But Sir..the president's son, that's very risky, I will get caught and you know I won't escape from this". I explained trying to convince him.

A smile came across his face as he picked up his apple and took a bite. "You won't be caught, I have everything planned for you...so no need to worry, ".he said without remorse.

I stood up staring at him as my head spin in two, "But Sir..why do you want to kill the president's son?"I asked still confused.

He looked up at me, a wicked face replacing the smile, his fist tightening together, "I want revenge Nancy!!!..Yes!, I do!...(his eyes filled with anger) that bastard...the president and his officials are responsible for my wife and Children's death!" he blurted out in pain.

I stood still in shock as I tried to digest his words, "His Excellency ?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

He looked back at me, "Yes, his Excellency.....my brother!" he said softly looking at space but with pain in his voice.
