NINE

Kevin was seated at the end of a long office table inside another dimly-lit room with concrete walls, a window with bars on it, and two exit doors. He felt like he was inside a prison cell. He was grateful that he had been given an extra ten minutes to complete the online banking transaction. Once he received the confirmation that the money had gone through, a second door opened from inside the room marked “Money”. He had walked down a narrow passageway and into this other room with a table.

There were two seats, one at each end of the table, in this otherwise empty room. He had no idea what to expect next and was breathing heavily. He sat down nervously in one of the chairs and began to rap his fingernails against the wooden table to break the monotonous silence. I’ve been waiting here for 15 minutes! When am I getting out of here? I just want this bullshit to all be over with. I’ve only been out of prison for a few months and need to get back to living the good life again. I never deserved any of this because money has its privileges. Nobody has the right to call me spoiled – I’m the only child of wealthy parents. I wanna make dad proud again.

Kevin reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette and lighter. His hands were trembling a bit and he needed to calm his nerves. Just as he flicked the lighter, the second exit door from the room opened, and a man stepped inside. He was tall, with broad shoulders and a thick build. He had on a neatly pressed charcoal-colored suit and matching necktie. He was holding a large flashlight in one hand and a file folder in the other. He slammed the door closed behind him, turned the flashlight on, and shined it right at Kevin’s eyes. Kevin dropped the cigarette and lighter, squinting and holding his hand up to block the blinding light. The man stood still at the other end of the table staring at Kevin. Kevin peered over his outstretched hand to get a better look at this intimidating figure.

His face was entirely covered in a black leather mask with only small openings for the eyes and mouth. Kevin swallowed nervously, wanting to speak, but not sure about what to say first. The man dropped the file folder on the table. The black pits of his eyes just stared down at Kevin, as if penetrating into his mind. After a few more moments of silence, the dark figure spoke. It was the same deep, menacing voice that had been on the video tape.

“Kevin Thompson – I’m Jordan Davidson. At last we meet face to face – so to speak.” The figure chuckled while taking in big gulps of air through the hole in the mask. “You are clearly a man with no morals, no sense of human compassion, and no dignity. You have taken zero responsibility for your actions.
