In a flowing script on a scrap of soiled paper ripped from a Boy Scout handbook was written a cryptic message: "Your life moves according to its own flow, and that course is not in line with the Truth." Normally, Jon Bishop laughed at such threats to his person, even ones so eloquent and strange as this. The particular method that the note was delivered to him, however, scared him out of his wits. It was nailed into the ceiling right above his bed. When Bishop opened his eyes to the morning, his waking brain just could not remember whether that lighter spot had been above him before, and his bleary eyes had trouble seeing exactly what it was. Once he decided to sit up and get a closer look, he found that he still could not decipher its significance; although he was sure, it had not been there the night before. Only, when he balanced himself carefully on the headboard and stretched up to take it down and read it, did he become, as said before, scared out of his wits.
As soon as he had the building searched and a reinforced guard tightly around him did Bishop stop to consider the nagging questions. "How could someone get so close without alerting me? Why the hell would someone leave me a note with such terrible exactness and difficulty and not kill me? Who, and why?" A few minutes later he singled out the guard most responsible for watching him, a long-time, trusted member of his gang family, and killed him with a single .44 to the head. Bishop cursed the entire guard force for allowing anyone near him, but the thought screamed in his head that the invader was freakishly stealthy enough to install a note above his head while he slept. The guard force was not responsible. Bishop was smart enough to realize this. Of course, there was an image to maintain. Always.
Bishop was also smart enough to remember the dark man he had commissioned to kill Westin only a week ago, chosen for his freakish gift of stealth.
Right now, this dark man was only pondering why Jon hadn't cared enough to put a contingent of guards around his wife and daughter. Only made it easier this way.
