Tobias Jefferson
" Alright. Everyone... Everyone,listen... Is everyone listening ? Good. " Tobias Jefferson called everyone out,while stepping onto a scene of an abandoned theater. " So... What happened is that we went into the house,we kidnapped the daughter of that rich asshole and we're gonna be paid ! What could go wrong ? "
" What could go wrong ?! A fucking ambush,dumbass ! " One of the kidnappers shouted to the leader.
" Rico,next time you got an objection,object nicely ! "
" Fucking kidding me... " Rico whispered.
" Anyway,he is actually right : we may be ambushed in a few minutes so what you're gonna do is... "
A dozen of minutes later...
Gunshots were heard from everywhere. The place was pitch black. The only way to see something is by the flashes of the guns. Whenever the shots were fired,the only faces seen are those of the policemen.
Both camps tried to eradicate the enemy. But nothing could be seen in this dark room. Then,suddenly,all of Tobias's men began to scream and agonize before dying. After two minutes of survival,Rico finally got shot to the belly. His body pissed blood and he lied to the floor.
Tobias came to his rescue,but the injured knew it was too late.
" Tobias... I'm sorry... I'm... So... Sorry... I die he... here... "
" No ! Rico ! You ain't dying here ! You hear me ?! "
" Face it... Dumbass... You can... can't... save... me... "
" Shut up ! Just shut the hell up ! No... No... Don't sleep... " Too late. Rico closed his eyes and passed away. Jefferson,kneeling next to him,bent his head down and made some seconds of silence for his partner. Meanwhile,the police force was continuing firing their rifles everywhere in the dark.
Tobias,enraged,grabbed a nearby AK-47 and shot to the cops blindly. Then he took cover and,noticing the flashes of their weapons,he identified their locations. He managed killing all the cops with a few bullets. After that,he reloaded,turned on the light and he discovered all the dead bodies - cops and kidnappers - lying to the floor. There were more than twenty.
Jefferson ran to the locker room where the girl was locked in. She grabbed her by the forearm and led her to the rooftop. He went behind her and pointed a pistol at her temple. Just then,a last SWAT officer kicked the door and pointed his M4 at him.
" Alright... Don't shoot please. "
" Don't shoot ?! If you didn't shoot and gave us the money,they would still be alive ! "
" We can sort this out. Just put your gun down. "
" Not gonna happen. I think I'll just pop her head. "
" SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE ! " The girl screamed.
" If you kill her... You gotta say goodbye to the money. "
"... Fuck the money ! " Suddenly,he shot the girl to the skull without hesitation and instantly jumped off the rooftop,avoiding the enemy's gunshots.
Stanley Parks
" And what about crabs ? " A man asked to the woman sitting in front of him inside a glamour restaurant.
" Crabs ? "
" Yes. Crabs. Crabs are delicious for health. "
" Crabs are disgusting,rude and dangerous for health. One man died of a cancer... after eating a crab. "
" Really ?! " The man asked,worried.
" Yeah. " The woman was texting on her phone.
" Alright... I think I'll forget the crab. I know... Snail. Snail isn't mortal... "
" In Alabama,three people died after eating for each one twenty snails. "
" It isn't dangerous... if we don't eat twenty snails in a row... "
" Eating that increases the chance to catch a nasty disease. "
" So... What do you want to eat,if you eat anything yet ? "
" I would like... carrots. "
" Carrots ? With that ? "
" Carrots. "
" Only carrots ? "
" That's what I said. "
" Don't you want some meat... "
" I'm vegetarian. "
" Oh... Do you like soja ? "
" ... Why not. "
" Waiter ! A plate of carrots and soja steak for the lady. "
" And for you sir ? "
" Just a lasagna. "
" For the man : lasagna. For the woman : carrots and soja meat. On my way ! "
" Did you see that,Vic ?! " The woman asked her partner.
" What is it,Stanley ? "
" He said I was a woman. "
" That is... partly true. What's the matter ? "
" Since the day we met,he was the only man who considered me with the gender I desired. Contrary to you. "
" Excuse me,okay ? Do you think it's common meeting transsexual people nowadays ?! "
" You could have done efforts. "
" By the way... Why don't you change your name,at the start ? "
" My parents gave me that name. It would be a dishonor to change it. For us Parks,names matter. "
" Okay... Listen,I'm sorry about the way I neglict your situation. Starting now,I'll try treat like a woman deserves to be treated like. "
" ...Thank you. But silence; my command has been delivered to your house. " She said,watching her phone.
" Here's your menus : lasagna and carrots with soja meat. "
The next day...
Stanley Parks was searching through all the drawers of the house. She also searched in the sofa,behind the TV,in the fridge,in the sink,in the pipes,in the shower,in the bottles and even in the toilet. In consequences,she turned the house into a huge mess; nothing was spared but instead broken or fallen.
Finally,Stan found what she was looking for into the shoes of her husband. She pulled out from there... 3500 dollars hidden into a plastic bag. She put it into her handbag,rearranged her makeup and went to the door. But as she turned around,she found Victor,standing there and holding a pistol with anger.
" Well,well. Look what I found. "
" Forgive me,Victor. But I never truly loved you. "
" The only reason you accepted my proposal... was for my money ? How could I be so dumb ? "
" Men always go dumb whenever there's a woman in their mind. "
" You said it... More important, what am I gonna do with you ? "
" Let's make a fast deal : I give you your money, I keep $900, I leave and you never see me ever again. "
" I got a better deal : I keep everything and you get the fuck out of my house. Plus you must pay everything you broke here. "
" I won't have the money for that. "
" Yes you have the money. Because I ain't the first one you stole the money. "
" You knew ?! You knew and you still married me ? "
" Actually the one who told me that, today, was my son,T.. "
" Shut up ! I don't give a damn about your son, your mother or even your dog ! Just let me go ! "
" No way ! My money, now... Or I swear. " Then, it was like a spy movie : Stanley raised her left fist to Victor, suddenly a gun - a small revolver model - appeared out of her left glove; she grabbed it and shot Victor to the heart.
" What a bitch... " That was his final words before he fell to the floor and never got back up. After that,Parks,mercilessly,searched his wallet and stole 500 more dollars before fleeing with 4000 dollars.
Jessica Kennedy
Jessica Kennedy, arrived at the rooftop of an ancient manor, made a hole to the floor. She fell onto a guard who fell to the floor. Then she infiltrated the place and arrived at a room where the item she was looking for was standing in front of her. She used some powder and spotted the lasers hidden. She disabled it by turning off the interruptor triggering them.
Then she opened the window and took the jewel. Jessica quickly fled by the hole on the ceiling before someone noticed her.
The next week...
The woman was reading the journal, then she read to the page of major news.
" The Queen of Duchesses died yesterday. "
She read further the news.
" Last week, (censured name), nicknamed the Queen of Duchesses, got her 500,000 dollars precious jewel stolen that night. She said last year that this jewel was among her family for generations. After learning about the theft, the queen became ill and yesterday night,she died of it at 11:28 PM. The police is fully working hard to find the responsible of the theft. "
" She also left behind her her husband, her daughter and also a t... "
Jessica threw the journal to the water of her pool and continued eating her dinner.
Carl Minkles
" Listen,Jason,I need your help. I need money ! " Carl pleaded his best friend.
" What for ?! Have you lost gambling again ?! "
" Yeah... I know you told me to stop it but I was gonna win the big deal. They cheated. They cheated I tell you ! "
" Carl... I can't help you... If you wanna money,ask your bank. "
" I can't tell my bank. "
" Why's that ? "
" Remember when I told you about the cheating ? "
" What again ? "
" I was so angry and frustrated... that I shot him. Now I'm a dead man ! "
" WHAT ?! WHY ?! "
" I snapped,okay ?! I was out of control ! "
" Carl,if that's really true that you killed someone... then you must turn yourself in... "
" WHAT ?! "
" I can't help a murderer escape the police !... "
" But you're my friend. "
" And I'm doing this for your interest ! " Jason grabbed a phone and taped 9 and 1... Until Carl pointed a Magnum at him. " What... What are you doing ?! "
" Gimme that phone. "
" Or what ? "
" Give it to me or I swear I'll shoot ! "
" Listen,you're out of control. You don't know what... "
" I know perfectly what I'm doing. Now the phone now ! "
Suddenly Jason tried to disarm him... only to get shot at the belly. Horrified,Carl panicked and puked on the floor. Then he quickly stole some money from his wallet before fleeing.
