Chapter 2
The murderous albino ran through the fields all the way into the main town. It was dark and there was nobody around. This didn't matter; he liked it this way. In the daytime they just mocked him or stared. Even the adults. He had heard them whispering "un spectre!" as he passed. So he kept to the night. He arrived at his master's establishment. The bouncer on the door asked for the password. When he had received it the albino entered and lowered his hood. He climbed up to the second floor, avoiding certain steps in case they creaked; it seemed he had been here before.
He reached a shabby wooden door and pushed on it gently. It creaked open and he entered a room draped with curtains with only one small light glowing in the centre of the room. A shadow stirred within the room. A man emerged, dressed in fine clothes that didn't suit his environment. His face was rather toadlike; in fact overall he resembled a very large toad. The master, for that was who he was, pointed to a nearby chair and said "Sit Silas, and have a drink with me." The albino flinched at the use of his name but obliged taking the glass that was offered to him.
"A success I presume?" The toadlike man asked.
Silas simply nodded.
"Well I said I'd pay you the 2000 pesos and here it is but are you sure that you won't accept anything else?" the man sat and went on, "I have a large enterprise, one with your strength could easily become a blacksmith or I don't know, there must be something that would apply to you."
"Are my services not satisfactory?" Silas spoke for the first time that evening. His voice was harsh, gravelly and powerfully menacing.
"Yes, of course they are but, assassination is a risky business, a risky one indeed…" The master was very agitated now, wringing his hands, his eyes darted everywhere.
"We have discussed this. If I am discovered I will not mention you. I will say I work for myself, killing those I please. They will believe that." The toadlike man did not seem reassured so Silas continued. "Look, Kayth, have I given you any reason not to trust me? Have I not completed any job perfectly with no creases, covering my tracks in every way?" Kayth mumbled something about it not being the standard of work…
"I see, you are threatened by me no? It is understandable Kayth, it has happened before. I shall take my payment and be gone. There will be no trace of me in the morning."
"I'm sorry Silas, I can't allow that. There are only 2 people who know the truth and they are both in this room. You cannot be allowed to run free."
"What will you do Kayth, set an assassin on me?" Silas uttered a harsh laugh somewhat like a bark. At that moment armed police came out from the shadows.
