Minor Annoyances

Frank Richards stepped off the elevator, and after traveling the corridors along the tenth floor of The Partners Building, he found Santino waiting for him outside the meeting room. Walking beside Richards was his new assistant, Robert Vance.

“What’s this about a problem?” Richards said, as he looked through the glass doors to spot anything amiss.

Santino raised up his hand in a calming gesture. “The meeting room is ready. The problem is with Saul Adamo.”

“What problem is that?”

“He’s dead.”

Richards swore beneath his breath. Afterwards, he told Santino and Vance to turn around, so that they wouldn’t see what five-letter word he tapped into the keypad that controlled the door locks.

When he was finished, the doors hissed and opened inward, which caused the lights to come on automatically.

Richards walked inside and gestured for Santino to sit. Santino did so and found Richards glaring down at him.

“What happened to Adamo?”

“He was killed by Sophia Verona and her pet, Romeo.”

“The very people you were ordered to deal with.”

“I decided not to follow those orders because I knew it was a setup. You two bastards were hoping we’d all kill each other, but I outsmarted you and Adamo both. Now, I’m the one who will be your partner.”

“I choose my partners, Mr. Santino, not the other way around.”

Santino stood in a rush, while shoving his chair backwards, then he leaned his face near Richards.

“Listen to me, you blue-blooded mobster wannabe. You and I are partners now and there’s not a goddamn thing you can do about it.”

Richards stiffened from the close contact, then he shifted his eyes to the left, where Vance was standing.

“Mr. Vance, I would like this problem erased.”

Santino took a step back as he reached beneath his suit jacket for the gun in his shoulder holster, but he felt his hand go numb as Vance jabbed at a nerve cluster beneath his armpit. A second later and Vance knocked Santino to his knees, then moved behind him.

As this was happening, Richards had turned away to stare out into the hallway. While he was a man who ordered violent acts be committed to further his aims, he did not enjoy seeing them employed.

The sound of a struggle came from behind him. After hearing Santino grunt, Richards heard something that sounded like a thick branch snapping in two. It was Santino’s neck breaking and it was followed by the sound of his body falling to the floor.

When Vance appeared beside him, Richards looked over and saw that the man had barely exerted himself.

“Is there any blood?”

“No, sir, and I’ll remove the body shortly.”

“Do that, I want no signs of violence detectable in this room.”

“There won’t be, but sir, who will you choose to take Adamo’s place?”

“I was thinking of Joe Pullo. The man has a soldier’s mentality and I think he would follow my orders if well compensated. However, I’ve grown tired of dealing with his kind. I don’t need one of them to help me rule them. I’ll rule them myself and they’ll accept it or die, but that comes later.
