Chp 4
Naruto dialed the number on his cell phone, the person on the receiving end answered as if they had been expecting the call all day. "I presume
you're ready for your shipment Naruto?" the other end said. It was a women's voice, but Naruto didn't know if the voice even belonged to a human
or if the voice was just a computer. He had never met the women (or computer) in person and their only contact was through the phone, computer
messages or miscellaneous notes or messages; he knew her only as "Sakura."
"Well Naruto? Are we clear to send the equipment?" said Sakura. "Yes…yes, your clear just be sure it arrives on time and is the correct dose."
Naruto said this knowing already that the poison would be on time and the correct dose, it always was, he said it more for his own reassurance.
As he readied himself to leave the restaurant Naruto's eye was caught by a figure leaving the reasturant shortly after Mr. Hopman, following
directly after him. Naruto knew this person. The person was an assassin, one of the best. The person was known only as Pain.
Naruto had encountered Pain only one time before, early in his career as a hitman; but it was enough to leave the image of the man, no not a
man, a monster in Naruto's memory. The experience had not been pleasant, a broken arm, mild concussion, fractured ribs and a lovely fall off a
building into a frigid cold bay. The job had been going well up until the end. Naruto's job was to take out a rich yacht salesman that was running
an illegal trade organization, the buying and selling of young women to be exact. He sat on the roof of a building undergoing construction nearly a
mile away from the yacht salesman's warehouse with a beautiful .50 caliber sniper rifle. The plan was simple, shot, pack and walk right through the
buildings front door and it almost worked. Naruto planted a bullet straight through the yacht salesman's heart and began packing. Right as he
open the first buckle on his rifles suitcase the door leading to the roof opened and out walked Pain. The second he opened the door he saw
Naruto in the awkward process of breaking down a .50 caliber killing machine. For a second the world seemed to stop and even though Naruto
didn't know who he was the first thought in his head was "Fuck."
Pain was fast and in an instant he was a Naruto's face ready with a knife. Naruto blocked Pain's attack and was able to disarm him of the knife but
when he attempted to strike back Pain countered, throwing Naruto against an air conditioning unit. Naruto tried getting up but Pain was already
there, picking Naruto up again. Naruto tried getting loose, but Pain grabbed his arm forcing it in the wrong way, snapping Naruto's arm. "ARGHHH!
YOU FUCKER!" Naruto managed to yell and turned to Pain and unleashed a mighty mixture of spit, blood and phlegm at Pain's face. His dirty trick
worked, Pain recoiled in both shock and fear giving Naruto the chance to run the only way he could, of the edge of the building and into the waters
of the bay below.
It was lucky for Naruto that his agency had responded to the attack and picked him up a few miles away in the stream connected to the bay. He
was lucky he hadn't died of blood loss, hypothermia or Pain himself. That was years ago and Naruto could still feel the pain in his arm at the sight
of Pain, who was now stopped at the side of the road waiting for a black car to park by the curb. Naruto watched as Pain entered the car and
drove of away from Mr. Hopman's route of departure. Naruto couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as he got up from the flowers and greenery
surrounding him and walked home himself.
"Yes Naruto, an informant of ours has confirmed that Pain is also after Mr. Hopman, yet he isn't on a time clock like you. The client wants the job
done tomorrow Naruto, our informant doubts that Pain will be making a move anytime soon. Regardless of this Naruto, be cautious." Sakura said.
Upon arriving home Naruto thought it may be a good idea to inquire more about Pain's involvement in the job so he called his employers for further
information. "Also Sakura, does the owner of L'impressionnant Tuer have any record of debts to ahhh, the more dangerous money lenders or mob
ties?" the other end was silent for a few seconds, then. "We do have records that show outstanding debts to mob leaders and others including
our client, why? The owner is not the mark here Naruto." Naruto silently thought for a moment. "I was just curious."
Naruto awoke early the next morning in order to prepare for the job. The package of sedatives and poisons had arrived late the night before; a
simple knock at the door signified its arrival. Naruto opened his closet and after sorting through the few articles of clothing he had he reached his
inanimate lovers, a pair of AMT Hardballers customized with scopes, extended clips, silencers and armor piercing rounds. Naruto loved these pistols
more than he loved, well lots of things, they had gotten him through some "eventful" situations. He placed them in his concealed gun holsters and
then picked up the sedatives and poisons placing them in the same concealed holster. Naruto didn't expect much excitement to go on in the
restaurant but just in case he packed one stun grenade and a small fragmentation grenade. Now all he had to do was get to restaurant and wait.
Getting to the restaurant was no problem, getting inside and having a chance to observe the inside restaurant was not a big deal and getting
behind a dumpster behind the restaurant and watching the cooks and bus boys take smoke breaks wasn't too hard, it was the timing. The timing
was everything, get into position too soon and you risk being uncovered by employees or body guards. If you get into position too late then you
miss the target. Timing is indeed everything.
"Two days ago it was 12:14, yesterday it was 12:16, today most likely should be around 12:15 to 12:17." Naruto spoke to himself sitting behind
the dumpster; it was 12:00 now, so it was nearly time to move. Naruto adjusted the position of his sedative syringe into a more convenient
position. "12:13, next smoker is the one I guess." Naruto whispered to himself and as if on cue a young cleaning boy emerged from the back door
of the building pulling out a cigarette and sitting on a stack of milk crates facing just slightly away from Naruto. "Here we go." Naruto said to
himself and began slowly creeping towards the bus boy, syringe in hand. A moment later the syringe imbedded itself into the neck of the
employee, directly into his Carotid Artery and rendering him unconscious. Naruto quickly took the bus boy's uniform and wore it over his own
clothing, making sure that his gun and poisons were still readily obtainable, and dragged the unconscious body of the worker to the dumpster,
dumped him inside, closed the dumpster and walked into the restaurant's back door.
The kitchen was bustling with commotion from the cooks and waiter quickly moving about. The cooks were rushing to a from spice cabinets to
stove tops, from the refrigerator to the oven, the baking rake to the walk in freezer; constantly eying orders that were given to them from waiters
or shouted to them from co-workers. The waiters were carrying the orders from the kitchen, calmly walking out in the restaurant dinning room but
behind the closed doors of the kitchen they scurried fast as rats to grab orders or to give them, often shouting out the table number of the order
and what it was so any and all chefs could hear.
With the kitchen this busy during the lunch hour Naruto was almost assured to be an inconspicuous shadow, in busy situations like the one the
kitchen was in it was rare for the employees to be worried about anything but their job. Even if they did notice him it was unlikely that they would
assume anything more than that he is either a new bus boy, or the old bus boy just got a hair cut or has had a change in attitude, and besides
who will actually remember such a minute detail after one of the busiest time periods in the food service day. With all that in mind Naruto made his
way past the main area of the kitchen towards the back where a majority of the cleaning supplies was and waited.
A waiter came in a shouted "Table four needs to be cleared!" Naruto stood up and began reaching for a waste bucket and disk container but saw
that the other bus boy had already beat him too it and was already heading out the door. Instead of picking up the cleaning supplies Naruto
instead picked up an empty bucket and began walking to the sink across the kitchen, poison syringe discreetly hidden in his bus boy uniform
sleeve. As he walked across the room he made sure to stay close to the side of the room that had the door to the dining room on it and as he
passed by the doors he quickly peaked into the dining room to observe its inhabitants. Naruto saw exactly what he had hoped for also, Mr.
Hopman was already seated and being waited on by a skinny black haired waiter. Naruto continued his walk to the sink, and began filling up the
bucket when he heard a waiter shout "Chicken Crochet, mashed potatoes, vegetable medley! Table 9! VIP customer so make it good!" He turned
and looked to see the owner of the voice and found it to be the same black haired skinny waiter.
It was time to start the job.
Naruto took the bucket of water with him on his way back to the cleaning supplies section. On his way back he grabbed a small bottle of cooking
oil. Naruto kept a careful eye on the cook making Mr. Hopman's food as he walked back as well and almost immediately as Naruto walked by, the
cook left the cooking chicken to head to the refrigerator. Naruto placed the cooking oil on its side next to the open fire grill he was passing, an
action that went unnoticed by the closest worker who was at the chopping table a few feet away. The contents of the bottle slowly began leaking
towards the open flame and around the time that Naruto was passing Mr. Hopman's food the oil cause the fire to greatly build up, causing a rather
dangerous fire on the stove. Cooks rushed to the stove to put it out and Naruto took advantage of the distraction, walking up to Mr. Hopman's
chicken platter and injecting it with the poison and the continued on to the cleaning section, dropping of the bucket and heading out the back exit
for a "cigarette".
Outside Naruto removed the bus boy uniform dragged the unconscious bus boy from the garbage bin, re suited him in the uniform and dragged
him behind the bin. When the bus boy did wake up or was discovered it would be like he had fallen asleep behind the dumpster. Naruto walked to
the front of the restaurant and sat in the waiting area, explaining to the table seating attendant that he was waiting for someone. From where he
was sitting he could clearly see Mr. Hopman, awaiting his full tray of food to devour. Naruto pulled another beloved possession from his pocket, not
a killing machine but one simply for entertainment value, an MP3 player, Ipod Classic to be exact. Putting the headphones in his ears Naruto closed
his eyes and began listening to Beethoven's 9th symphony, 2nd movement.
The classical music provided the greatest calming sensation to Naruto and allowed his mind to flow freely and without worry, allowed him to not
have a care in the world, not about the economy of the country, the school system, the illegal weapons he had at home definitely not about the
man sitting no further than 20feat away that he was about to murder.
The lovely music of Beethoven was rudely interrupted however by the loud complaints of a certain obese man sitting in the restaurant. Naruto
looked up at the seating attendant who shared his own look of annoyance at the soon to be deceased fat fuck. Mr. Hopman's food arrived shortly
after and Naruto now watched the target, Ipod on and gazed fixated on the man. At first the situation was normal; the man mauled the food, not
a single vegetable or chunk of chicken was overlooked. Then it happened. His face first turning a darker shade of red, sweat forming at his brow,
hands shaking. Next he completely stopped eating and began creating small grunting noises under his breath. Then his breath became ragged
and irregular, by now his bodyguards had become slightly suspicious, one even tapping his back as if trying to aid a chocking victim. Mr. Hopman's
face turned a dark purple and his grunts became full gags mixed with spastic breathing, now the guards were fully aware of the situation, but it
was too late. Mr. Hopman's chair fell over, a woman screamed, people rushed from the restaurant and Naruto stood up, pocketed his Ipod and left
just in time to hear the fat fuck sputter
one
final
wheeze
......
......and then die.
