••••••Unknown POV••••••
I watched them get lost in each other. They acted like no one else in the world was around. Which was perfect for me. I had been given the order to follow the girl, Rachel, from my boss. Lucky me to have been sitting in the club with the same girl my boss had been looking for, for over 20 years. Little did she know she has a big price on her head. I pull an old coin out of my pocket and kiss it. My luck always get better and better over the years all thanks to my lucky coin. I sat on a nearby bench behind a bush. They were so into each other I doubt they even noticed me. Next thing I know I hear him call someone to pick them up. About 5 minutes later a car pulls up to the curb.
“Sam, where are we going?”
she laughs as he grabs her hand pulling her along.
“We’re going to my place, Ms.Eastbrook. I have a great view I would love to show you.” ,he replies opening the door for her. I get up and pull out my phone to dial a number. I stroll to the street holding my arm out trying to hail a taxi.
“What have you found” ,my boss says from the other line.
“She’s going by Rachel Eastbrook. I’m going to follow them now to get the address to her little boyfriend house. Soon as I get some info I’ll update you again boss.”
“Good work. She better enjoy her free time now. I hope the guy has the time of his life before he disappears.”
A taxi stopped and I got in. I threw a $100 bill at the driver.
“Follow that car”
I stuck a match, reached into my coat pocket and lit my cigar.
“Louise thought she was clever hiding her but the deal was not going to be broken unless I found her dead or alive! Lucky for me she was alive.”
I took a long drag of my cigar. The driver didn’t think I noticed the glare he was giving me through the rear view mirror. I pulled my glock out of my waistband and sat it on my lap. Finger on the trigger. I looked at the driver through the mirror. His eyes widened. He kept his eyes forward on the car he was supposed to be following making me grin. I heard my boss rambling through the phone. Sometimes the guy gets worked up and just needs to vent.
He needs to relax. I thought while taking another pull.
“I’ve waited over 20 years for this moment and I won’t let it slip away. Now don’t waste anymore time GO! ” click
Sir yes sir
I leaned back and rested my head back on the seat. I’m getting to old for this. I sigh taking another long pull of the cigar. We drove for another 20 minutes before we pulled up to a high security high rise.
“Th-the car stopped sir” taxi guy stuttered.
“I can see that” leaning up and dropping cigar ashes on his shoulder. Oops. I look at the name of the building and I know one thing for sure. Boyfriend got money. I let out a whistle and called another person who could get me all the information I need about pretty boy and the lost lady. One thing for sure this might be my last job. I just want to relax in the sand, stretch my toes and feel the sun. After making some calls I take my wallet out and throw Mr scaredy-cat another $100 to take me to the bar around the corner from my house. I rather kill time there than sit alone in my apartment. I’ll just throw back a couple of beers before I get the information arranged to report back to boss. I know this job will pay so good I can finally retire. I notice a big breasted leather wearing broad eyeing me at the pool table. She leaned over the table giving me a nice peek of her thong. She knocks a ball in and gives me a wink as she licks the pole. I take the last swig of my beer and throws the bottle in the trash. I walk over to her and ask her name. She says Vicky or something giving me a head to toe once over smirking as she pushes her breast up.
Hmm. Maybe I won’t be going home alone.
