Ladies First (concluding part)

   Timmy “Titty” Torrentino hated his job but he loved the money. He was a criminal alright, he just didn’t like the sort of trouble that came with the job. Timmy had promised himself he’d never work for the mafia but his bad gambling habit made him break that promise. He had gone gambling one night in the only casino in town but because he was too drunk to tell if he was losing or winning, he didn’t know when to stop. When he finally got tired he had owed more than he could ever pay.

   The owner of the casino was nice to Timmy. In exchange for cancelling his debts, Timmy had to work for him. “I need more manpower” the owner had said.

   Timmy had started of being a shaker. His job was to scare anybody who owed his boss money. With his menacing look and build, Timmy had no problem scaring those he didn’t even intend to.

Timmy’s boss had almost been killed by someone he had been told was dead. Somehow he had managed to escape with a bullet scrape. He then felt he needed someone he could trust to make sure the assassins he hired actually did their job and since Timmy had been tested on numerous occasions by his boss and passed the tests without even knowing he was taking the tests, he was given the job. He wasn’t a shaker no more, he was now “The Chaperone”.

   It was Timmy’s second time of tailing an assassin. Judging from the first time, the job was a pretty easy one. Stay out of sight until the assassin tells you the job is done, go in, make sure the target is dead, report back to the boss.

   As he followed the assassin’s car, he wondered why he had stopped at McDonalds. “Why go through the trouble of feeding someone when you would kill the person few minutes later”. He thought to himself. “The weird things these assassins do”

   He knew one who only killed women and that was because he loved to have sex with his targets and just when she’s about to climax, he’d strangle her. Timmy wondered how the targets must feel like at that point. To have the perfect mixture of pain and pleasure going through your body must be incredible. He thought it was to die for.

   Just as he started appreciating his little pun, his phone started ringing. He picked it up and heard a voice at the other end say “it’s done”

   Two minutes later he was knocking on door 4514 in the hotel he had tailed the assassin to. Before he knocked a second time, the assassin had opened the door. He moved out of the way for Timmy to enter the room.

   Everything seemed in order. From the tasteful furniture of the room down to the body of a lady lying in what Timmy thought to be a pool of the lady’s blood. He turned his head to look at the assassin and just as he was about to tell him to get rid of the body, he felt something rip through his chest. His shirt was getting wet and he was starting to feel woozy. He touched the wet spot as he fell to his knees. Knowing only too well what could have caused the wet spot, he regretted coming to the hotel. His knees held him up long enough for him to see the lady on the floor walk past him with a gun.

   Timmy felt his blood pouring out of his chest and he knew life was slowly draining from him. he felt worse than a basket  trying to hold water. He had heard stories about people’s lives flashing before their eyes just before they die. What he was seeing was two people talking. The pain coursing through his whole body was unbearable but somehow he could still hear what they were saying.

“Oh it worked perfectly. Glad we stopped to get the ketchup”. The assassin said with a smile

“Ok now please tell me, who is he? Why did he want to kill me? And why did we have to pretend I was dead?”

“I know this might sound crazy but I was sent to kill you but…”

“Funny how things work” the lady cut the assassin short “I was also sent to kill you.”

   Timmy watched as the lady put three bullets in the assassin’s chest.  “Serves that sonofabitch right” was his last thought, a smile plastered to his face as his soul bid adieu to his limp body.
