Tonight, Wicked nearly gave up on his usual routine of stalking his rival. He was glad he didn’t. For some reason, Frank seemed on edge. From the moment Frank exited his apartment, Wicked tracked him.

Frank returned to his last kill site. By now, the alley had been swept clean. How strange.

Frank seemed to inspect the area far too long, sparking his curiosity. Last night, Wicked knew Frank encountered a hitch, a witness. A guy like Frank who was all efficiency and business would have eliminated the threat right away.

Was Frank merely checking the site to check if he’d mess up? The Organization’s clean-up crews were pros, just like them. They wouldn’t leave any incriminating evidence behind.

Things were about to get interesting, Wicked knew it in his gut. So, he continued tailing Frank, continuing to keep a safe distance. Unlike the last time, Frank didn’t seem to notice anyone was following him.

Something on your mind tonight, fucker?

Frank’s next stop was some apartment three neighborhoods away. Frank didn’t break in, but simply lifted the welcome mat near the front door and entered. Did the apartment belong to a friend, perhaps some relative or lover?

Wicked knew Frank had his share of fuck-buddies.

The Organization didn’t give a fuck who their assassins fucked, as long as their lovers were kept in the dark about what they did. On the rare occasion loved ones unearthed the dreadful little secret—assassins were expected to clean up their messes. There was an anomaly in Frank’s usual pattern, and Wicked wouldn’t rest until he found out why.

Frank exited the unit half an hour later, with a small brown and white sausage-shaped dog under one arm.

Certain the other man wouldn’t be returning, Wicked took the same key and stepped in. He’d never been in the assassin’s personal space, but this plain and dumpy-looking apartment didn’t belong to his rival. Knowing how obsessed Frank was with his privacy and Frank’s hard-to-beat security systems, Wicked never bothered breaking in to Frank’s place.

Taking a cursory look, Wicked was careful not to touch anything. The framed pictures in the living room caught his attention. A gay couple stared back at him from most of the collection, sickeningly happy and wearing identical grins. There was a story here. Wicked had a nose for these things. The last photo at the end of the shelf was the same plain and boring man, wearing a black suit. Behind the young man was a grave.

No Frank, though. Who was this guy to Frank?

“Wait a fucking second,” Wicked muttered, grabbing the frame.

A closer examination confirmed his suspicions. This was the same guy who accidentally walked into Frank’s murder site. Wicked never forgot a face. After taking note of Frank chasing the witness down, he decided to end the night with a beer and fuck elsewhere.

Now he wished he confirmed Frank’s kill. Setting the frame down, he exited the apartment. What now?

He needed more information.

Wicked returned to his rented apartment. It was a shitty place, infested with roaches and had a leaking room, but it had a perfect view of Frank’s bedroom.
