Chapter Twenty-Two: Crisa Rose

618 Words
I knew that Storm wanted to say something, but it was time so he would have to wait. I got up on stage and gave the signal. As soon as the music stopped I started my speech and the doors were breached. I looked out over the crowd and said, “ I want to start out by saying thank you to everyone for coming tonight. This party is to celebrate the opening of our first shelter that will be used to give people second chances. I actually wanted to announce that we have received our first official donation as well. The donor wishes to remain anonymous, but when you donate 6.9 million dollars I believe they should get a proper thank you. Everyone I would like you to put your hands together for Jonathan.” As soon as I finished my speech a phrase popped up on the screen behind me. It was a quote from a song and one I knew he would remember well because it was on the note that I left him when I took everything from main stash house. The note simply said, “I just finessed the finesser made his ass pay extra.”    With that all hell broke loose. I felt someone jump on me as I see Storm trying to get my attention, but failed due to the attack someone launched on him. I quickly grabbed the person’s forearm and flipped them over my shoulder. I found that it was one of the waitresses that had been hired just for tonight. She quickly rolled away and jumped back up ready to attack me again. I was ready for whatever attack she was going to throw at me. She quickly lunged for me, but before I could react someone had shot her in the head. I didn’t have much time to think about it or figure out who did it as Johnny’s cousin ran at me.    He aimed his fist at my jaw, but I was able to back out of the way in time to avoid the hit to the jaw, but he managed to still get my shoulder. He relied on brute strength to win his fights instead of strategy. He may be stronger than me, but I’m smarter than he is and I have been training for this day. He thought that he had gained an advantage and walked closer to me with a smirk on his face. As soon as he was close enough to me I kicked his legs out from under him. He hit the ground with a thud and I quickly jumped on him while he was disoriented. Before he could blink I threw blow after blow to his face keeping him disoriented and dragging his death out a little bit longer. After a few blows to the face I pulled my knife out and held it to his throat and cut deep from his left ear to his right ear. The noise of the fight behind me blocked out the gurgling noise he was making, but I didn’t miss the look of fear in his eyes as he slowly bled to death. I leaned over and whispered in his ear, “death comes for everyone and you are no different. I told you I would be the one that took your life just like I took both of your brothers from this world. The last face you see and the last voice you hear. You will burn in the pits of hell for the things you have done.” He took his last breath as I finished the last word and I couldn’t help the smile that formed as I got back up.
