Ace of Spades
Chapter 7 – A High School Hitman
Shadow's POV
Entering the motel I approached the counter to have the man shake my hand.
"Hello! How may we help!?" He asked as I smiled and replied.
"I need a room for the night. Can you get me one?"
Smiling the man replied.
"Of course! Any preferred spot?!"
Acting as I could I replied.
"I like the third floor nearest the windows."
"Deal! I got one for you with good view! Room 312! Take the elevator up and I will collect payment in a half hour of you settling in! Thank you for staying with us!" Said the man as I took the key and looked at the sign in pages.
Quickly writing my name the man looked to shout.
"Nice to meet you Sharpe!"
With a smile I looked back down at the sheet to see Canver's name written by room 216.
Letting the pen drop on the pad I made my way away from the man and to the elevator which I quickly took up to the third floor.
Reaching the floor I went to my door and unlocked it with the key.
Entering to find a small room with one window I tossed my bag down on the bed and opened the window to see the rooms below me.
With a nod of my quills in the wind I went back to the bed and grabbed my bag.
Letting out a breath of hot air I pulled out my handgun.
Taking the black M9 in my hand I took out the clip from the bag and loaded the clip into the chamber.
"Here we go." I said as I went to the window.
Taking a step out onto the ledge I quickly made my way to the rooms parallel to me. I had no intention of falling as I looked down counting as I went above room 216.
Taking a breath I jumped and reached out silently grabbing the ledge next to the window.
Quickly standing up on the ledge I reached and gently pushed the blinds aside to see Canver behind his desk looking at papers.
Silently stepping inside I sneak up on his desk.
As I grew close he went to stand up and immediately I pulled him down covering his mouth with my right and placing my M9 on the side of his head.
"Shhhh." I ordered him with a slight joy as he shivered in fear.
"Tell me the code to the safe and maybe I won't kill you." I said as he pointed at the photo.
Slowly pulling him to the side I tore off the photo and revealed the steel door.
With a gentle move of his arm he began to turn the dial.
Looking at the front door as he opened it up I heard a click.
Looking back I saw it was open.
"Good boy." I whispered as he still shook.
Under my arm I heard him begging for me not to kill him.
"Relax...it will all be over soon. Snap!"
Breaking his neck I let his body fall on the floor and in reaction I took the files inside the safe then bent down to grab the ring off his finger.
"Too easy. Why was Issac so worried?" I wondered as I went for the window.
Gently going along ledge I went back under my room and leaped up taking the ledge.
With no problem I got back into my room and took my bag and made my way out of the building.
"Where you going?!" Asked the man behind the counter as I opened the door.
Entering the street I pulled out my phone and began to run to the park that was maybe two miles away.
Becket's POV
"He called in brother. Decker is picking up the evidence then he will be here to give it to you."
Issac nodded as I went for the door.
Amy's POV
I began my walk home from the store. It was getting dark out.
I had a couple bags full of prom accessories and as I walked I began to pass by the park. As I walked through the shadows I happened to see a real Shadow. He was walking into the park alone. What is he doing out this late? I wondered as I watched him head for the bench near the fountain.
In curiousness I watched as he sat down.
As I spied on him I noticed he was holding something...looked like a folder.
I wanted to know what he was doing. I felt like I had too. He's just so dark and lonely I think no one not even his friends know much about him. I still can't understand how someone like him can be as bad as Sonic told me he was. Maybe that is why he doesn't come near me...cause of Sonic.
Slowly entering the park I began my walk behind him.
As I grew nearer he stopped and went still.
"About time you got here. I thought you'd be here before me." Said Shadow as I froze in place.
Turning around he widened his eyes to see me.
"Amy?" He questioned as I backed up.
Slowly getting up he asked.
"Are you ok?"
I was scared now.
Shadow just stared at me as I shook.
"I was just wondering what you were doing out this late?" I said in fear as he replied.
"I could ask you the same thing."
Slowly backing up I replied.
"I was out getting some clothes for the prom. I was just... I think I'll leave now."
Turning to leave, Shadow shouted.
"Are you sure your ok? Do you need help home?"
Looking back as I walked off I replied.
"No thank you. Thanks anyway Shadow."
Shadow just watched as I ran off afraid.
Shadow's POV
I was confused as I watched Amy run off from me. Why would she be so scared of me? She came to me in the first place for no reason, why is she so scared? I wondered as I sat back down to wait for Decker.
As I waited I began to see someone coming.
Looking up I saw it was him.
Gently holding the folder and the ring in my hand I began to approach him.
He held my pay. As we walked our hands hit and he took the folder and the ring from my hand as I slipped with the bag.
Walking off to different directions I left the park and headed back home with the bag in my hand.
As soon as I made it to my house I went into the living room and tossed my bag down on the couch.
Gently taking a seat I put the bag in between my legs and opened it to smile.
Taking out the taped packs of cash I began to place them on the counter in front of me.
"200...400...600...800...1000...?" Continuing to count I looked to see the clock. Surprisingly it was only eight now.
"200...400...600...800...2000."
Having the money all laid out I picked it up and ran it to my room.
Going under my bed I pulled out my box and opened it to see all my savings.
"This makes it 18,000 now." I stated happily as I closed the lid pushing it back under the bed.
Getting up I tossed off my shirt and my M9 and laid back on the bed sheets.
"Another one down and I hope Issac decides to make up his mind now that I proved myself useful. Like that was even worth the time."
Looking around I had the urge to get a shower. I hate feeling dirty.
Standing up I went to go to the bathroom when I heard someone knock on the door downstairs.
Feeling confused of who it was I grabbed my M9 off the bed and placed it behind my back as someone kept knocking. Its too late to be anyone else but trouble.
Reaching the bottom of the steps I opened the door slightly to see Amy again.
"Amy?!" I shouted in confusion as she trembled.
"Hey Shadow." She said in fear as I felt my gun behind my back.
"What are you doing here?" I asked as she looked up at me.
"I wanted to say sorry for how I acted at the park I didn't mean to come on creepy."
"Your fine. I'm use to people running from me." I stated as she showed a frown.
"I was just scared." She replied as I opened the door still holding my M9 behind my back.
"I figured you were when you left at the alley earlier. May I ask why?" I said as she stared at my body.
"Were you sleeping?! I didn't mean to wake you!" She said in fear as I replied.
"No I just got home. I was about to get a shower."
Nodding Amy lowered her head as I took a chance.
"Do you want to come in and talk about it?"
Amy looked up as I opened the door for her.
In a scared movement she began to walk by me.
As she walked into the house I shut the door and said.
"Just one second. I have to get a shirt."
Amy nodded and remained by the door as I ran upstairs hiding the gun.
Flying into my room with a hype I tossed the gun on the bed and grabbed my undershirt quickly putting it on and heading back to greet her by the door.
"Sorry for the wait." I said as she nodded and followed me into the living room.
Letting her sit down I asked.
"Are you thirsty?"
Amy nodded and replied.
"I could use a drink if it isn't a problem?"
"Not at all. What do you want?" I asked as I sat up and went for the kitchen.
"Water?" She replied as I nodded and got her a bottle from the fridge.
Handing her the bottle I sat back down and asked.
"So why were you scared?"
Slowly Amy recapped the bottle and replied.
"It was just something Sonic told me yesterday at his place."
"What?" I wondered as I knew that blue asshole fucked me somehow with her.
"He told me about your first girlfriend."
"My what?!" I questioned as Amy widened her eyes in confusion.
"Sonic was telling me about your first love Maria."
Widening my eyes now I asked.
"And what did Sonic have to say about her?"
Amy lowered her head and replied.
"He told me how she died and you...left her there."
In anger I squeezed my fist as hard as I could trying not to scream at the women in front of me.
"I'm sorry Shadow I shouldn't even be talking about this with you!" Stated Amy as she tried to cover up.
Shaking my head I replied.
"I'm not upset you brought her up. I'm mad now because Sonic lied right to you and even more pissed off about how he used my dead mother to do it."
Amy panicked and asked.
"She was your mom!?"
"More like caretaker." I replied while looking away.
"I didn't know Shadow I swear!" Stated Amy as I nodded.
"It's ok. I'm not mad at you, but what did Sonic say?" I asked as she replied.
"He said she was shot and you left her on the ground while she died."
Nodding I asked.
"Anything else?"
Amy lowered her head and replied.
"He said you were dating for three years and that you never stopped the man who killed her."
Nodding more I said.
"That prick."
Amy immediately grabbed my shoulder.
"Please don't be mad! I don't want you two to fight!"
Looking into her beautiful eyes I replied.
"I'm not planning too this close to graduation. I just now know where me and him stand as friends."
Amy stared into me as I went silent.
"You should go." I stated as I stood up.
"Shadow I didn't mean to upset you!" Stated Amy as I helped her up.
"No, I want to to be alone right now. Thank you for telling me. It took courage."
Amy widened her eyes as I opened the door.
Slowly walking out Amy looked back at me as I went to shut the door.
"Shadow please don't be mad!"
"I'm not mad Amy I swear." I stated as she shouted.
"Prove it!"
As the words came out of her mouth a gust of stupidity flew out from my body and I immediately pressed my lips on hers kissing her passionately.
Amy widened her eyes as I retracted and said.
"There. Point made. Good night Ames."
As I shut the door Amy stared at me in complete shock.
I have three tomorrow.
