Chapter 5: Shift Attacks (I)
Finishing my breakfast I wondered where Coarse had gone. I hadn't seen him since I sent him to get some fish for lunch. That guy didn't return with anything. He didn't even return. So I had to cook lunch and dinner for May and I. That was something May didn't like. She hated my cooking. I lay on the couch. Waiting for Coarse. I heard a noise. It was near my door. I was way to tired to do anything so I didn't do anything. I heard footsteps. I got up very angry that I had to. The figure hit me with a gun. I bled continuously. It was Coarse. He shot a bullet at me. It hit my arm. It hurt badly. I hit with my sword. But my case was on it. so it did practically nothing.
"Coarse, what the hell is the meaning of this assault!" I screamed.
"I am sorry Iris, but I have been ordered to kill you. I will enjoy this, i will get my honor back."
I didn't know what he meant but I didn't care. He shouldn't kill me.
"Who sent you?" I asked.
"Well since I am going to kill you I might as well tell you, who sent me. It was Sir Jet."
"Jet!"
"Yes, Iris."
I didn't like how he called me Iris. It was rude for him. And it sounded real odd for me to hear such a thing from my butler.
"What's he paying you?" I asked.
"A Threat."
"No really, what is he paying you?"
"Nothing."
"I'll give you 200 dollars a day, instead of 100 dollars a week if you go back and kill him."
"As you wish, SIR Iris."
"That's the way I like it Coarse."
