--------------------------------------------------------------------
As he finishes his meal, his cell phone rings. He picks it up, and listens to the voice on the other end. All of a sudden, a panicked look rushes over his face….
Warner rushes out of the restaurant, and jumps into his friends Lambo. As he speeds away, you see a single tear run down his eye. As he drives down the highway, his phone rings again. He answers it, but hangs up immediately. His phone rings again, and he puts it on speakerphone. A distorted voice starts to speak.
Mr. Warner, I do not think that you should be hanging up on me. You are in enough trouble already. You broke our deal, and you are lucky that I haven’t killed her already.
Look, I know we had a deal, but it wasn’t working out. Football just isn’t my thing. You know I can get the money back to you; it just might take a little longer than expected.
I had everything lined up for you. We took care of you throughout high school. We helped make you the player you are. We would have continued that. You and your fiancée would have been taken care of, and the NCAA never would have found out. You would have been set for life, had a long career, and made it into the NFL, but you decided to back out of our commitment.
I know, and I know you helped make me what I am. You aren’t the only reason I am where I am. My brother…
Who do you think gave him the idea? You think he just woke up one day and decided to put you on that path? There is a lot you don’t know about your family. Do you remember how your mother died?
How do you know what happened. The police ruled it suicide, only my father and I know the truth...
Your father worked for us. One day, your whore of a mother found out too much, and needed to be….taken care of.
DON’T YOU TALK ABOUT MY MOTHER LIKE THAT.
Do you really think it is smart to raise your voice to me? After all, if you anger me, she is the one that pays.
At this point, you hear a female voice in the background, screaming for help.
ZAK!!!!! HELP ME….I’M SO SCARED….please….
The voice trails of, and you hear the voice laughing.
I swear to god, if you hurt her...
You aren’t exactly the one to be making demands, now are you? Get to the address I provided earlier, and you have 20 minutes to get there. Back door, come alone.
The phone clicks off, and Warner speeds down the highway. He is crying to himself, and all he is thinking about is her. He met her his sophomore year in high school, and they were together ever since. He proposed to her during the Senior Game at their school, and they had been planning on getting married over the summer. Now he was on the verge of losing her, and he was also on the brink of losing his mind. He started to think about that first day they met. He starts to flashback to that day in gym…
The scene fades to a high school gym. It’s the first day of classes, and everyone is just sitting around. Warner and his friends are in one corner of the gym, throwing a football around, talking about all the new chics in school.
Hey man, you see all the new bitches up in here. Man, we got a nice little group in this class.
Yea we do, too bad you ain’t got a shot at em. You are a backup Safety, I am the starting, all-state QB. Who do you think has the chance?
Man, you are only all state because you haven’t had to pass against me. I bet you 20 bucks, that you can throw 5 passes to Tyler, and you won’t complete more than 2.
20 bucks? Man, you got yourself a deal.
They go to the middle of the gym, and line up. All eyes are on them, and it is a chance for them to not only win some money, but impress all the new ladies. After 4 plays, Warner had let 2 by him, and stopped 2. The bleaches were filled now, as word had spread. This relatively unknown kid was holding his own against 2 all-state players. The final pass was to be a 5 and out pattern. As they lined up, the trash talking started.
Alright man, I’ll give it to ya, you are a decent player. There ain’t no way that you are winnin this though. I’ll damn near guarantee it.
How about we go double then. 40 bucks, on this pass play. You man enough to take the bet? Or are you going to bitch out, because you are too scared to fail in front of everyone.
Man, fuck you. You got the bet. 40 bucks, one play, in front of everyone.
It is obvious that Warner was getting into the quarterbacks head. As the play unfolded, you could tell that Warner had the play read perfectly. As the pass was released, it headed for the outstretched hands of both Tyler, and Warner. Warner dove for the ball, and was able to pull in the interception. He crashed into the bleachers, and sat up next to an extremely stunning young girl.
Hey, nice job out there. I was pretty impressed with the way you stood up to those two. They think they know everything. They aren’t as cool as they think they are.
Thanks. I just got fed up with taking their shit all the time. Maybe this will get me noticed, come tryouts. What did you say your name was?
I didn’t. My name is RaenaPellichet, and you are?
Zak. ZakWarner. Hey, if you aren’t busy after school, maybe we can go catch a movie or something. I mean, I just won 40 bucks, and what better way to celebrate then a nice date with a beautiful girl.
Sure, I’ll see ya after school.
Just like that, they hit it off. Their first date was amazing, and they were together ever since. As Warner snaps back to reality, he realizes that he has arrived at the building. He parks the car, and climbs out.
He walks in the door, and walks straight into a dimly lit room. The only thing visible is an empty chair. He sits down, and immediately feels a gun pressed against the back of his head. He hears a faint female voice screaming for him, but as he tries to stand, he hears the hammer of the gun cocked back. He sits back down, and from the shadows, he hears the mysterious voice yet again.
Hello Zak. As you can tell, I am not very happy with you right now. You are lucky that I have left you and your fiancée alive. You caught me on a rare good day.
Thank you sir. That day you contacted me, offering your help, I was skeptical. I know now that I wouldn’t be where I am without you.
Shut the hell up. You think that sucking up to me, pointing out the obvious, will make me happy? You have got to be fucking crazy. Did you take one too many shots to the head? You need to just shut your goddamn mouth and listen to me. I do the talking, is that understood?
Yes sir, I just..
The man behind him violently pistol whips Zak in the left shoulder and a searing pain shoots down his entire left side.
What part of “shut the hell up” doesn’t register with you? Jesus Christ you are a pitiful excuse for a kid. I should have had you taken care of you when I made your father kill that whore of a wife.
Zak starts to violently shake, as the rage builds up inside him. Up until now, he never knew why his father brutally and senselessly murdered his mother. It all made sense now, and the man responsible for it was somewhere nearby.
He then suddenly grabs the gun from the man behind him, and quickly spins behind him, pressing the gun to his temple. The rage has consumed him, and nothing can stop him now.
SHOW YOURSELF GODDAMIIT. I’M SICK AND TIRED OF PLAYING THIS GAME. EITHER FACE ME LIKE A MAN OR SO HELP ME GOD I WILL TAKE YOUR HITMAN OUT RIGHT NOW.
A hooded figure steps out of the darkness, followed by another bodyguard. They both step forward.
Relax Zachary, that is quite uncalled for. All you had to do was ask and I would have come out. You won’t hurt my employee there, because you know I still have your precious fiancée, and you wouldn’t risk that. He is worth more to me than both of you, so just let him go.
As Warner realizes that the man is speaking the truth, he pushes the hitman away, but keeps a firm grip on the gun. He aims it at the hooded figure, and starts to move towards him.
You are the reason I had to grow up without a mother. You are the reason I hate my father. You are the only reason that I was forced to live a shitty life, and forced to fend for myself. By all means I should kill you.
Go ahead, kill me. Just remember, that I am the only one who knows where your fiancée is, so if I die, she does too. Now lower the gun, and we can talk like businessmen.
Warner lowers the gun, and takes a seat. The man walks over to a part of the room, and pulls out a briefcase. Inside it is contract, and he hands it to Zak.
My name, is. Cody. My last name is of no concern to you. I run the crime underworld around here, and I also have a hand in all of the organized fighting associations. From K-1, to Pride, to UFC, I run it. You have something, which the sport has been lacking. You have rage, you have that fire to win. I just want to help harness that, and help you realize your full potential.
That’s very nice, but what the hell is this contract for? I already signed one with K-1.
That I know, but this is a personal contract. If you sign, I can guarantee that within 4 fights, you will have a title shot. All I ask in return is that you help me out when needed. It would be nothing serious of course, just a hand here and there.
Well, I guess I have no choice. I’m outnumbered, and you have the one thing that matters most. If I sign this contract, I want you to give me your word, that no harm will come to my fiancée, or myself for that matter.
You have my word, My men and I will do nothing to hurt you or your precious little wife-to-be.
Warner looks down at the contract, at his future. He knows that he shouldn’t sign it, but he also realized that he has no choice. He signs his name across the bottom, and places it back inside the briefcase. He hands it to the man next to Cody, and stands up.
Where is she, I want to see her right now. I swear to god if there is anything wrong with her, I will render that contract null and void right here and now.
She is fine, do not worry.
Out of the shadows stumbles his fiancée, Raena. She is visibly shaken, but other than that, there seems to be nothing wrong with her. As they embrace, a red dot appears on the back of her head. It is tiny, and barely visible.
Baby, are you ok? I was so worried about you, I thought that..
As he speaks, a loud gunshot is heard, and suddenly Raena lurches forward, almost knocking Zak down. Cody and his men have dropped, and are instinctively covering their heads. There is silence for a few seconds, when it is suddenly broken by a gasp from the fallen woman.
What the fuck is going on. Cody, you swore we were safe; you gave me your word.
That wasn’t one of mine. I wouldn’t harm an innocent person, unless I was forced to.
As Warner holds his dying fiancée in his arms, he starts to cry. He had just gotten her back, and then she was taken away from him again. They had their whole lives ahead of them, and with one bullet, it was taken away. He held her, as the last few breathes left her body.
Be strong…I…..I love you….
I love you too baby. I won’t ever forget you…
They share one last kiss. As tears fall down his eyes onto her cheek, death finally claims her. With one last gasp, she goes limp in his arms. He starts to sob uncontrollably, and then gently lays her down, and closes her eyes for the last time. He stands up and picks up the gun that was discarded in the chaos.
You took away the only thing left in my life that mattered. I don’t care what you say, there was no other way that she could have been killed.
As he says that, he raises the gun and pulls the trigger. The shot catches Cody right in the kneecap, and his crumbles to the ground. Before Zak can fire another shot, the bodyguard that had the gun to his head earlier pulls out another gun, and shoots Warner right in the left shoulder. The impact sends him spinning to the ground. On his way down, he fires off 7 shots, aimed at both bodyguards. 3 of them catch the man who shot him right in the chest and throat, and the other 4 catch the 2nd man in the head, instantly killing him. As Warner rises to finish off Cody, he notices that he is gone. Zak walks over to the first man, who is barely alive. He aims the gun right in between the mans eyes.
And a Shepard I shall Be
For Thee My Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from thy hand
That my feet may swiftly carry out thy command.
And I shall flow a river forth to thee
and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In NominePatris, et Filii, et SpiritusSancti.
He empties the rest of the clip into the mans head. He proceeds to search the men, for any money, or identification. On the first man, the one who held a gun to his head, he finds a wallet. In it, is about $500, a few credit cards, and a license. The mans name was MikaAville, a 24 year old scumbag from Louisiana. Zak laughs, he had never met a man from Louisiana before. He kicked the dead man a few times, letting out some of his anger. The 2nd man had over $1500 dollars on him, and a few gold credit cards. His name was JeremyCrandall, a 19 year old kid from Syracuse, NY. Warner actually felt a slight pang of remorse. He probably had someone waiting for him at home. He was young, and his life had been taken away.
Fuck that, he deserved it. They took away my life, why should I take away theirs?
He walks back over to his fiancées body, and notices there is a deck of cards on the body. It is a deck full of aces, and it was left on the body, almost like a signature at the bottom of a greeting card.
As tears silently stream down his face, Warner picks up the body of his dead fiancée, and walks out to his car. As he drives away, he wonders where his life will go from here.
