There's a lot of pretty, pretty ones
That want to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low and blow your mind

Chapter Eleven

            "They missed the target," a deep voice said through the phone.

            "Which one?"

            "Both," the voice barely hid its fear.

            "Not yet sir, I'm on my way but I did get rid of the assassins."

            "Someone is bound to start digging and that Mr. Errey, would be a bad thing."

            It'll be done in the next forty-eight hours, I'll see to it myself." He tried to relay confidence through his voice but failed miserably.

            "You do that. And I hope you remember that I'm not a patient man."

            "I'll slit both their throats with my own kitchen knife, if that's what it takes."
