I think I heard this from a movie once, "Time flies quicker when you'd like it to stop." I found it to be quite true.It was Friday already, I can barely stand being in the same room with Dom, although a couple of days has passed since our argument. I guess how stubborn he acted still irked me whenever it pops into my head.My first mission assigned by the Mafia will be executed tonight and I feel like I could do anything for anyone who can freeze time so that tonight will never come.It was lunch time already and the canteen hall was packed with a sea of students as usual.I stuffed my hands into my pockets and hunched my shoulders to avoid knocking anyone over. I grew up to be a pretty big guy. Quite a handful people has commented o

I arrived by the pier at dawn and someone was already waiting for the truck to roll in, waving his hand to direct where I should park the truck.Once I parked the truck and got off it, the man approached me and handed me a key.He didn't say anything, just nodded at the bike parked in a distance behind the truck.I looked at the key in my hand and back at the man who was walking towards the back of the truck to the container's opening.I walked away slowly, keeping my ears open for the sound of the container being opened.I couldn't just walk away without at least trying to find out what was in that container. Although I doubt it was anything good, I should know what I've just delive

"I'm off!" I told Casey as I opened the bedroom door to tell her that I was leaving.When Casey didn't react, I sighed and tried again."Case, I'm leaving?" I didn't want her to come back to reality only to find me gone and start searching for me out on the streets.This time, I got a better response as Casey hummed, her nose buried in her book."Have fun!" She said off mindedly, eyes glued to the pages of her book."Okay."I had used the boys as my alibi, telling her that I was going to be out until late tonight to do some catching up with them.Lucky for me, she was too immersed

My legs felt like jelly as I staggered forward, trying to move towards the mothers who were desperately trying to shield their children from the danger around them. The loud squeak from the hinges of the emergency exit door echoed in the alley as more women and children burst out into the alley through it. They all wore uniformed terrorized looks on their faces. The mothers ran like headless chickens with their children in their arms, often looking back over their shoulders to check if they were being chased.Their panicked state didn't allow them to think straight or clearly. All they were trying to do was get as far away from the emergency exit door as possible.It was a dark alley, the only light illuminating the small passage was the dim yellow street lamp a few feet away from the mouth of the alley. I guess most of them never reall

I got off the car and circled it, stopping beside Dom as we stared at the building in front of us, where I first met Quentin. I glanced at Dom. "You ready?"Dom had a grim expression on his face. I think I've drilled it into his head enough times for him to know that once he steps into that building, his fate would be sealed. We will either succeed in our mission and tear the Mafia down to its very roots or fail and be tied to it forever. Tonight, Dom was basically selling his soul to the devil. I wasn't in my sound mind when I did it so I couldn't even begin to imagine how Dom was feeling, knowing what he was signing up for. Nevertheless, he refused to back down. He gave me a firm nod and we began to cross the road to walk into the lion's den despite being fully aware that the odds weren't looking too good for us.Like the last time th
