Bull

Kong called me with an address. It was that easy.

I messaged him early this morning to tell him I was interested in whatever his boss was offering. I knew what the terms were but played dumb when he told me the ins and outs of what I was to do.

There’s a fight tonight in some deserted neighborhood about an hour away. The rules were simple—fight and win. For my trouble, I would get paid a thousand dollars. If I won, I would get double that. Kong told me this was just a base rate. With each fight and win, the amount would increase. But the money isn’t my motivator—seeing him dead is.

So I agreed.

I called Lotus and told her I wouldn’t be in tonight. I said I was sick. I hated lying, but this is my chance to put my plan into motion. Losing isn’t an option. The more wins, the closer I get to earning Kong’s trust.

I need to know who the other two assholes he ran with are. The thing about a successful predator is that they study their surroundings and familiarize themselves with every variable to ensure that when they strike, they do so with efficiency and skill.

There is no room for errors. Or distractions.

Gripping the steering wheel, I follow the GPS, refusing to think about her—again.

Tiger is a distraction, a dangerous one. Today, it took every shred of control I had not to give in to temptation and deliver on the things I promised. It was supposed to scare her, give her insight into who I am and what I would do to her.

I expected her to run. She didn’t.

Taking me to her childhood home and telling me about her life and her son were her way of trying to connect with me. For some unknown reason, she likes me. I don’t know why. She sees something in me that I don’t.

I’m trying my hardest to keep her from my shit, but it seems she doesn’t want to stay away. I can never tell her what I have planned, so it doesn’t seem fair to start anything with her because she is bound to get hurt. But I’m finding it harder and harder to fight these urges inside me.

When the GPS spits out that the destination is a couple of blocks away, I’m thankful I’m able to act on these urges in a different way. I’m looking forward to making someone bleed.

Parking my truck, I look at the derelict warehouse in front of me. There is no one around. Locking my door, I slip my hood over my head and keep my chin downturned as I make my way to the steel fence. It has a small hole cut out of it. Ducking low, I step through it and scope out my surroundings.

The warehouse is dark, hinting no one is inside. But the deserted exterior is just a front for what’s really going on inside or, more specifically, what’s going on inside the soundproof basement. I shoulder open the unlocked door, ensuring to close it behind me.
