Chapter 3

I was being impatient for the "later" to come after I left the kitchen. it is almost evening and

almost time to activate my plan.

If you are wondering what this fuss is all about then I have to make things clear.

According to what I heard from the picture on the wall. I didn't do anything wrong...stop looking

at me like that.

OK so my dad has this obsession of ruining the Italian mafia. This said guy has been on his

nerve and a thorn in his flesh which he has to remove...his words not mine.

There's this big ball and every mafia family has to attend...basically anyone that has anything to

do with the underworld...if you know what I mean.

So the plan is blow the old mother fuckers head and get the hell outta there.

Poor old guy...never imagined his life being ended by a damsel, I won't say cut short because I

believe the fool must have had a fair share of life.so am not cutting it short, just ending it.

Gabriel...Gabriel...you can't run from me. Am basically echoing the whole house with my loud

calling of Gabriel's name, but right now I don't care.

After fifteen times of calling his name later...yes I counted and no he didn't answer me, but I still

found him...cleaning his babies...if you are wondering...he's as single as can be and got no

kids..so what could possibly be close to his heart to clean...his guns, duh.

"There you are, I've been looking all over for you"...I said. "So I've heard"...this man feels like

saying more than one word is a crime or waste of breath. Am not gonna hold him for that, the

world is full of lousy people. Keep your thoughts to yourself, am not lousy.

"Let's get this done with," he said..making his way to the bar we have in the sitting area. No no

no no I screamed in my head not that one. I quickly rushed to him and linked my elbow with his.

I have to act and think fast..bring a better reason why we can't drink here.

"Not this one Gabriel...I don't want everyone giving those judgmental eyes when they see us

drinking together, you know I can't handle it" I said him....am basically wearing my innocent

face..fake it till you make it. "I have the right place for us, come with me," I told him, dragging

him by the elbow toward paradise.

"There's this special wine I've always wanted to try but there were just too many in the collection

and it wasn't time for it to be tasted yet, but since you're here I wanna try it with you." I opened

the cellar door and drew him inside. Closing it successfully behind us.

"Make yourself comfortable while I bring the wine and the glasses."

I make a show of searching for the wine. Firstly to waste time, because Gabriel has about thirty

minutes before he leaves. According to their plan, he leaves early and has everything ready

before everyone comes an hour or two later. Secondly, I can't have him suspecting

anything...what would he think if I just had it all set...well he might not suspect a thing...but it's

never wrong to be careful.

"Got it." I said loud enough for him to hear me. I get myself the wine glass and get him a

whiskey glass. "Men like this glass more" I told him..handing him the whiskey glass while

quietly taking my sit beside him.

"Why don't you do me the honor of opening the wine"...I said handing the bottle over to him. He

took it from me muttering "dramatic woman"...he opened the bottle with a loud popping sound

while I clapped and cheered in achievement. Quietly he put the wine in my glass first and then

in his. We toasted to nothing in particular as I took a sip of my wine, while I waited with bated

breath as he swirled his wine in his cup...perfect, I thought to myself...quietly as if in thought and

then slowly he took the whole drink in one gulp. I watched quietly as he raised his head to meet

my innocent face...then I watched him struggle to form words as my face broke into a smile...

"Di....iiii..ddd...y..oo..uuu...drrru...uug...mm...eee... " he slurred. I almost felt bad as I watched

him. But remembering I'll be helping him tonight while all he does is sleep peacefully I burned

down any stupid regret. He made eye contact with me while he stumbled unsteadily on his feet.

"Come on Gabriel, don't look at me like that, I'm only doing you a favor...you'll thank me

later...so don't struggle...just go to sleep, when you wake up everything will be alright."

He stumbled a few more times before finally going down into unconsciousness.

Let the game begin.
