"YOU'RE ON IN 5 ANNI!"

The director of the night club yelled out to me as I was struggling to pin back my short layered hair. Now you may be thinking I'm some sort of stripper. You may even think I'm and actress, singer, or hell even some sort of magician. But that's not why I'm here at all. I'm only at this old cabaret because need to complete an order.

"COMING!" I yelled out to the director.

He handed the gun to me, the prop for the musical I auditioned for 2 weeks ago. A lot of prep for this job. But I'm bringin' in over 15K for this one, and that's a lot of money when you're in this business alone.

"Great, I need to piss Larry." I lied to the director.

I ran into the bathroom and tossed the 'gun' into my bag. I'd burn the bag later. I then reached in the bag and pulled out another 'prop' a similar model to the 'gun'.

"Just in time." The director, who was sweating like a pig, said to me while I put the gun into the pocket of my corset. I put on more make up just to be sure no one would notice my face.

"AND NOW, PART TWO OF OUR SPECTACULAR SHOW MURDERER'S ROW. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PURCHASES DURING OUR INTERMISSION. SPONSERED BY OUR OWN LOCAL 'FINE LIGHTING AND LINENS'."

This was it. I walked out on stage and did part of my act. Sang a number. Then the actor I was supposed to 'kill' for 'fooling around with my best friend' came on stage again. Derrick Balnerk, 15K for his head.

"YOU BASTARD!" I acted out this play pretty well. Of course some of my talents is lying, acting, and scheming…

Then I shot two rounds into his head.

Applause, darkness, curtains. Derrick Balnerk is now dead. To the audience the blood was fake and so were the bullets, the gun, and even the explosion of the gun powder. But I knew the truth and soon the whole city would know the truth. But I would never be able to be found. I have no credit cards, I take only cash. I'm self employed. But most of all, I never use my full real name, old habits die hard I suppose.

Then I disappear. The bathroom has already been cleared of all my evidence. I didn't even leave fingerprints. I went to the motel and checked out. I'm on the road again.

NEXT MORNING

"THE MONEY" I yelled at my client

"Ok, ok." The woman nervously grabbed the money out of her drawer. I counted the money and she wasn't a penny short.

I then winked at her and hopped out her window.

In the car I take of my hood and fix my hair so you can see my eyes better. Suddenly I get a phone call from my untraceable phone.

"This is Anni, what can I do for you." I spoke into my phone with my voice distorted just as L used to do.

"Aye, Anni, its Mitch I need another hit. This is gonna seem odd but this ones personal. I just found this one don is still alive after 2 years or so. I need you to track and kill him for me. It would be a great amount of money too. How bout… 40k? Sound good to you?"

That would be just enough to make me 2 million.

"Ya, sure who is it."

"I'm not sure if he's easily tracked but I know your good at what you do."

"Ya Ya thanks whatever. Now whats the name Mitch."

"Mello, I only have what he goes by."

I sat in the car stunned. Maybe it was him. Mello maybe this was Mello.

Mello, the one I fell in some sort of love with as a child. No this can't be him right? He HAS to be dead by now. Knowing Mello he would have gotten involved with the Kira case 2 and a half years ago.

"Hey, Mitch can I get a description?"

"Well its been awhile but.. He has gold hair a bit below his chin. Neat and cropped. He was suppose to have died in an explosion after killing all of his own guys. Maybe he has some sort of scar now I don't know. But he has this weird ass addiction."

Gold hair? Weird addiction?

"The addiction?.."

"Chocolate! Weird as hell right! Haha, well one of my guys witnessed him shoot one of our guys and when he described him I knew right off. It was last night. I'm in Vegas right now so im guessing he's here." The don spoke to me as I sat in utter shock. This was it I was able to see Mello again.

"Oh ya, and he has a friend to. Another weird ass who has this blood red hair and goggles…Kill him too and you got yourself an extra 10K"

"Yea..Alright.."

I hung up, confused and in shock.

I would be able to keep that promise I made years ago in 2 days.
