***

There was a deafening roar of gunshots as I tackled Oscar to the floor; Bit turned and jumped into the fray, trying to peel us apart. A wave of nausea hit me as Oscar and I fought for purchase with one another. I clawed at Oscar’s eyes as he screamed, and just as I was getting the upper hand, I felt hard blow to the side of my head and the world went black.

***

I awoke from a hard slap to the face; I found Bit and Oscar standing over me, their body language extremely agitated. A terrible pain registered in my gut, and I looked down to see a large, dark oval spot on the right side of my lower abdomen. One of them had shot me.

“Open the fucking safe, now!” Bit hissed. “We don’t have time for this shit.”

I felt dizzy. “Why, you don’t want to do it on your own after I die?”

Oscar kneeled down in front of me. I was slumped against the safe. Blood was out over the edge of my pants, slowly running down into my lap. He grabbed my chin, and looked right in my eyes. “Puto, I can make what's left of your life very, very painful. You’ll wish you had opened that safe long before you did,” he said. Looking in his eyes, I could tell he meant what he said. Somewhere in the back of my thoughts I had this idea that he probably would have been very good at my job with the same training I had received.

As my brother stood above watching, I could see he was no longer my brother. He was just a bad man now, in a world full of them. He was the one person in the world I cared about deeply, and that had not been good enough. Looking at it, maybe we weren’t so different after all. I had strongly underestimated him.

“I’m not going to open the safe, no matter what you do,” I said.

My brother looked at me, clearly annoyed. Oscar withdrew a knife from his waistband. As he was getting ready to put it to my stomach, Bit fired two shots into the back of Oscar’s head, blowing brain matter out the front of his skull onto my clothes and the wall and floor around me. I gasped a deep breath, and wiped my face, the thunderous boom still ringing in my ears. I looked up at him, my vision blurry.

“I never did care for silencers,” he said, calmly. “Besides, even as things are, I couldn’t let him torture you. You are my brother, after all.” He flashed a devilish grin.

“Do what you are going to do, Gerald.” I said. “It’s only a matter of time before the cops are here.”

“Ah, Gerald, now, is it?” he said. “No more ‘Bit’?”

I exhaled, the blood loss wearing me down. I was in shock.

“No more ‘Bit’,” I said. “You are you own man, now.”

“Well then, this relationship has come full circle. It is time to be on my way.
