OK the first few chapters are going to be boring but i have to set it all up and give you a good image so just bear with me here.

It was a cold Saturday morning, I slowly rose up from by bed feeling groggy like I always do. I looked out the window and saw snow and thought to my self "Snow again?"

This made the 7th day in a row for non-stop snow,and because of that my business was extra slow, not that I really mind though, it's to cold outside to work anyway so even if a customer showed up I would most likely boot their ass out the door and back in the cold.

I walked to my mirror and examined my self, I was 6 ft 1, hazel eyes, and had short black hair that always curled. But then I noticed something different about me, random parts of my hair were white, just a little and with the snow no one should notice. But alas I lied to you for you see this is not the first time I spotted it, as a matter of fact I have seen it several times before and one thing that i noticed is that it is spreading.

"Great..." I thought to my self " In a few years i'm going to look like a old man..."

I put on my normal clothes which consist of black military boots, dark blue jeans with a cowboy belt, no not one of the new ones, i'm talking about old school, the belt even has 18 slots for 45 caliber bullets, a plain black t-shirt, and to top it all of I have a black trench coat, to tell you the truth I some-what considered it to be my trade-mark item of clothing, but then I remember every movie star that ever wore one, so that boat has already sailed. I grabbed my trusty ol' 1911, and put it in my holster.

I walked down the stairs that creak every time I ever put a little weight on it, I walked over to my T.V and turned it on, then switched the channel to the weather channel to if we would catch a break from this storm. No such luck sadly, then they went to talk about a new kind of virus spreading through the USA like a wild fire. I turned off the T.V and didn't think much of it I thought it was just the yearly flu killing as many people as possible.

Then i heard the jingle of my front door bell "Great...a customer..." I said to myself. When the customer was in sight he was a wrinkled old man who looked like we was just in a accident, and he spoke like it to, "what is your name young man?" the old man said holding on to his stomach. "Didn't you read the sign out front old man? My name is john" I said looking at him. He looked at me and said "John... I need you to listen to me, the world...will see a war its never seen in years.." He said almost collapsing. I looked at him and laughed "Old man do you live under a rock or something? we are already at war." I said laughing at him. "Not that war." He said coughing, "John do you know the girl in the alley near here?" he said "yeah I met her a couple times, why she steal something from you?" I said. This outright angered the old man, he then said "I heard a rumor about this place being owned by a hit-man in disguise, and no John I don"t want what you are about to offer!"I looked at him and said "You said it not me." he almost fainted after his little speech . "Are you OK old man?" I moved in to see what was hurting him. The old man shook his head and grabbed my throat with one hand, and let me tell you, for a old man he was strong! he brought my face right next to his and yelled, "JOHN!...YOU NEED TO PROTECT HER!" I shook the old man off of and and pulled out my 1911. The old man fell to the floor and he was breathing heavy. I moved in closer for a better look only to see blood spilling out of multiple stab wounds. "John..." the old man said while coughing up some blood. "I know you have no reason to help her, but please consider it my final request..." I looked at him but said nothing, I began to wonder whether or not just to kill him already seeing that there was no way for him to survive, but I decided to let him speak his final words.

"take her to Texas John, please." The old man gave me a bag that he pulled out from his coat and said. "There is more of this if you do...please take her to Texas..."

And with that the old man closed his eyes.

"God damn it...rest in peace old man"
