10 minutes to midnight

"Show Time!!"

I firmly pulled my hoodie over my head, and slid my hand back in my pocket.

"Let's do it! " I whispered and started jogging towards the right corner of compound pretending like nothing unusual was about to happen.

I could hear the footprints following me from distance. That unsynchronized tap of panicked tread sounded like a sweet melody of victory to my ears and an evil smirk spread across my lips. I tried to match my pace with them so I don't loose them.

Just before turning around the corner، I pulled out my pocket-watch and pretending to be looking at the time, I watched them through the mirrors fitted inside the watch, to make sure they were still following. 4 security guards with their guns pointed towards me were running at their top speed

Perfecto!! Come to Mama boys. Let's play a-tack!!

I slid my hands back into the pockets to squeeze myself and prepared for a sprint. With a deep sigh, I swiftly pounced towards the corner and started running to make them feel like I was a suspicious person.

" Oye! Stop there! .." I heard one of them yell at me.

Making sure they're following me, I Turned around the first corner of the compound wall towards the back alley. Crouching swiftly I ducked a fine sharp string trap I had set there. A gush of pre pride vibes hit me like a cool breeze. I slowed down my pace, waiting for them to catch up.

"Freeze or I'll shoot" ;

I heard one of the men load a heavy machine g*n, , as he turned around the corner still running. Raising my hands in air pretending to surrender I stopped to focus on my hearing senses. An involuntary chuckle escaped my throat. i slowly began to turn around.

" 3...2...."

Click! A trigger went off in distance. My smirk turned into a wide grin. I barely heard a gasp and a whiff, as one of the men dashed right into the string. A swift recoil of my trap and the string wrapped around his neck slicing through like a laser beam. The next sound was a thud of a body drop onto the ground followed by another thud. I Glanced over my shoulder to watch his head rolling down the road behind the compound, under the flickering street light, leaving a blood trail along it's way.

One down 3 to go!

" Bubyee " I waved my fingers at him and blew a flying kiss

Footsteps seized for a second. There was a pin drop deadly silence.

" It's the wire. keep moving" the other man yelled after a few seconds and the footsteps sounds started again.

" yes the wire.. mwahahaha." I whispered to myself. " Smart of you to figure out. Too bad you're a bit 5 seconds too slow tch tch tch"

For the first time in years I wanted to laugh and celebrate. I had just killed a whole live human being but I didn't feel a single tinch of regret or guilt. No pain no mercy. I wasn't a psychopath but I swear, the feeling of inner satisfaction I was experiencing seemed better than any pleasure I could have imagined.

A tear trickling down my cheek brought me back from trance. Wiping it off I looked back towards the corner to assess the chasers position and waited for the shadows to reach close enough to the corner before moving on..

I whistled , to make the rest of the g**g aware of presence in the dark, and continued treading on my way, I heard guns corking behind me and then the red laser light pointers flying around me. I could evidently assume that they couldn't see me in this side of compound.

Just before turning around the second corner, I pulled out a tiny flashlight, turned it on and dropped it on the ground for men to pinpoint my location.

I Heard a few g*n shots followed by approaching footsteps from the adjusant side of wall.

I stopped to make sure they were still following me and leaned against the wall again , pulling out my watch again to check on the time.....
