- Gut feeling
Anonymous POV
I pace around my apartment feeling on edge. I’ve tried calling the bastard but he’s not picking up
He has been quiet since he burned down Ava’s house. That more than anything scares the crap
out of me because I don’t know what he is planning.
If I don’t know what he’s planning then I can’t come up with a counter attack incase he messes up
like Black Serpent.
Picking up my phone, I call one of my men.
“Boss?” Blake answers in the first ring.
“Have you been able to locate him?” I ask him.
I’m never one to worry. Never one to be anxious about things, but I was this time. I just got this bad
fucking feeling that something was going to happen.
I couldn’t shake the feeling of doom that was wrecking havoc inside me.
“No…it’s like he’s fallen completely off radar.” He replies, making me curse. “No one has been able
to locate him”
When I found out that the Black Serpent had been caught, I knew that I had to get rid of him.
It wouldn’t have been long before the police caught up to him, so I blew his brains off. I couldn’t
let him lead them straight to me.
I was right after all. It didn’t take long for the cops to catch up to him. Luckily I had taken care of
him already.
I know people like him. Mainly because he is made from the same cloth I am. If he had been
caught, then he would have given me up to save his sorry ass. (1)
He didn’t have any loyalty towards me, so he would have easily given me up. I couldn’t let that
happen. Not when I had worked so fucking hard to get to where I was.
Everything turned out perfectly. He died. The police lost their only advantage and I got a new
hitman.

“Boss” Blake calls my name, pulling from my thoughts.
“What is it?“My mind was racing.
Like I said, this wasn’t like me, but something just didn’t feel right. I didn’t like the gut feeling I
was getting.
“I said we’ll keep an eye out and let you know incase something turns up” he mumbles through
the phone.
I grunt. “Fine. Just fucking find him. I want to know where he is ASAP” 1
I hang up the phone and continue pacing. Feeling so restless and on edge. This isn’t how imagined
things going. Somewhere in the middle, things got mixed up and now I feel like i’m running out of
time. Like I have a noose tied around my neck.
“Fuck!” I shout before punching the wall next me.
I just feel it. Just know that things will come undone. That every thing I’ve done. Every secret I’ve
kept and every lie I’ve told will soon be revealed. 2
I don’t know if I’m fucking ready for that. Don’t know if I’m ready for the backlash I’m sure to get.
Picking up my phone again, I call the one woman who has the ability to calm me down. The one
that has always understood and stood by my side.
“Hi, mom” I greet as I sit down, trying to control my restlessness.
“Hey honey” she shouts excitedly. “It’s so good to hear from you. I’ve missed you so much”
At her voice, I sink into the couch. Tension leaves my body and I melt.
“I’ve missed you too mom, more than you can imagine” I mumble into the phone, feeling like a
child again.
All my fears and worries fade away.
“Not that I don’t like hearing from you, but why did you call? Shouldn’t you be at work?” She asks.
I don’t know how to explain that to her. How do I tell her that I called because I needed to hear her
voice one last time before things fell apart? How do I tell her that I wanted her comfort one last
time because I doubt I’ll get it when she finds out what I’ve done? (5
“I’ll take a vacation when things settle…there’s just so much going on right now” I partly lie.
