THE MISSION THAT WAS

Jack held the phone in his hands for a while before replacing it to his ears.

"Listen Nicky, I don't expect any laxity in my missions. I said you should be at the place before 3.30! Where the hell have you been?" he spattered into the phone immediately he went back on the call.

"Am sorry Boss, it was Tony who did not show up earlier!"

"I don't want to know what your excuses are Nicky! Get yourselves down there at once and pull a clean deal for me. Any mistakes and you will live to regret the day you were born. You get it?"

"Yes sir!" Nick answered swiftly as he knew that his boss, Jack, was in a foul mood. Whenever Jack was in that mood Nick knew better than to engage him on an argument. He understood that the only mission ahead of him was to deliver the package to Jack's clients and return the money received back to him.
