Gannon
Changing into simple black clothes and fastening a dark cloak around his shoulders, he locked the door of his room and dug out the tan bag beneath his chair, before stuffing it in his shirt. Hurrying through the halls and out the darkened servantsâ exit, he kept to the shadows and made it to the main gate where a sleepy guard took one look at his face and let him pass without challenge.
To the right, the road led to the nearby town, to the left, the drop-off. He veered to the left, until he spotted the outline of a man leaning against a Wipendrow Tree.
Rhett.
âTook you long enough,â he barked, when Gannon got close enough.
Stopping in his tracks, Gannon spoke with carefully chosen words. âI think perhaps youâve forgotten who youâre speaking to.â
Rhett stepped away from the tree. The moon peeked from behind the clouds to slide along the strips of scars dancing along the manâs face and neck. They were the only remarkable things about the man altogether, but it was his ability to blend in that made him such a good assassin. Time and time again, heâd done Gannonâs dirty work, and done so with complete success. True, he wasnât the brightest, but no one was well skilled at killing quietly.
âYouâre right,â he said, shifting nervously. âThe nightâs just been cold, and I thought youâd be here a hell of a lot sooner is all.â
Gannon accepted his apology, knowing he couldnât have expected civil manners in someone so poorly bred. âIâve come to tell you. Itâs time.â
âYou finally want him dead?â
âYes and right away.â
The man rubbed at his chin. âAll right, but I want to be paid up front.â
Gannon laughed. âSurely you donât take me for a fool. No, this will be done the same way as always, a small percentage now, the rest later.â
âThis isnât like the other times. Only a fool would take on this job at all, but Iâve met a girl, and that gold will buy us the kind of life she deserves.â
At the mention of his girl, Gannon stiffened. âDoes she know anything about this?â
It was Rhettâs turn to laugh. âShe knows Iâm no farmer, but no, our business is private.â
Gannon nearly sighed with relief. âWell, thatâs good at least. But now to the business of this money. If I give you it all now, you have no reason to do the job.â
Rhett rubbed at his chin. âHalf now. Thatâs fair.â
Gannon held back a smile. The man was far too predictable.
Reaching into his shirt, he pulled out the heavy bag, filled with a kingâs ransom of gold. âItâs agreed.â But when Rhett took hold of it, Gannon didnât let go. âBut if somewhere in that little mind of yours, you consider, even for a moment, taking this money and running, I want you to know that thereâs nowhere I canât reach you.â
The assassin jerked the string on the bag, and Gannon let it go. âAnd I want you to know, thisâll be my last job.
