The Wrong Crowd Pt. 4

Fuck! Stop!

Oh shit sorry Aaron. Pardon me for being so rude. My name isnt for your ears but you can call me...oh I dont know. Call me Jeff.

Jeff...okay.

Well now that were comfortable with each other. Nighty Night Johnny!

Wait no...


[BANG!!!]


Oh my fucking jesus! What the fuck did you do?

What? I killed the fucker.

Jesus christ I live in a fucking murder scene!!

No you dont.

Yes I do!

Nope. Nothing happened here tonight Aaron. Absolutely nothing.

Jesus!

Isnt this what you have always wanted. To get the stress of Johnny off your back.

Yeah but not like this. He had enough dirt on him to be locked up for years.

But he owned the fucking cops, so this was your only way out. I did you a fucking favour Aaron.

I just cant get over the fact that I have a murder on my concience.

No you dont. I do, you just watched it. You did the right thing. You refused to kill him. Im the one with the filthy concience.

Still Jeff, in my house. Really?

Yeah really. Oh grow up faggot and lets get this cleaned up.

How? There is fucking blood and brains splattered all over my fucking wall and bar!

Get a bucket and water. I have to make a few calls first. Get to it!

Okay!

I walked away and into the back room looking for any sort of bucket to fill up. I also found some bleach to use on the
walls. I was getting the stuff then I heard Jeff on the phone so I listened in to see if I could hear any details on why the fuck he was in my bar and what the hell he wanted to do with me. Why did he save me from Johnny? He's clearly not a good samaritan, so thats not the reason. I put my ear against the doorway little opening and listened.

Okay I have him here with me.

.......


Of course he's safe now. When I get a job I do it properly.

......

Yeah he's dead but at least your man cant be bothered anymore.

......

I only got one of them. One of them got away after I killed the first one.

......

Im not an idiot I will find that other guy. I just was ringing to let you know the situation and to find out some details on where this guy might be hiding out. He's definitely not going to the cops so I just need to find his safe house so to speak and then I can pay him a little visit again.

......

Of course hes coming with me. I'm not going to let him get away before he gets to you.

.....

I'll keep him safe dont you worry about that.

.....

A two minute job no fucking about. You knew I was able for this job when you hired me so dont you worry about that.

.....

Okay we'll speak later. Goodbye.

As soon as he hung up the phone I walked out of the back room pretending that I didnt hear anything that was said on the phone. I was carrying the bucket and bleach he had sent me to get a moment earlier.

Okay I have the stuff. You want to get started?

Me?

Yes you!

Oh no I dont do the whole cleaning thing. I do the killing so you do the cleaning.

Fucking hell!

I dont make the rules. Wait yeah I do. Anyway get going.

I dropped down to one knee next to the body of Johnny. The momentum of the shot sent his body in the chair down to the
ground. I could see inside his skull. The way he was shot saw one of his eyes being blown away but the other still remained and of course when I was starting to clean that shit up the one remaining eye was staring right at me. I couldnt help but gag repeatedly but somehow I was able to hold back the barf that was tempting to come up.

Whats wrong with you Aaron? You act like youve never seen a dead body before.

Technically I havent.

Whats technically mean?

I mean there was this crucifiction thing but it didnt work so he wasnt really dead. Plus it was never as gruesome as this fucker staring at me with his eye.

Push his eye around to look at something else. He wont mind.

You dont say!

I continued to clean the wall and floor while he was on the internet on his I-Phone.

What the hell are you doing Jeff?

What? Oh I'm trying to get the dirt on Johnny and his little running man that left before the festivities.

They usually hang out at the horses. You know betting and shit.

I dont think he's going to go show up at the horses when he's running for his life.

No! The back room. Its where Johnny worked. No one knew he was behind horses. He fixed a lot of races. Thats how he got me in the first place. So only the elite gamblers know about it. I'm I think one of five. It's closed now though. The security will let me in because I'm one of those five.

Well why didnt you fucking enlighten me on this earlier?

You didnt fucking ask Jeff.

Jeff? Oh right.

Well then lets get fucking going then.

I'll take that guy over there if you get Johnny alright?

Not really but I suppose I have no choice.

Your getting the picture now.

The trunk of the car is pretty big so Just flop them in.

I never thought I'd be hearing those words. Just flop that body in my trunk. Mom would be so fucking proud of me right now.

What about Dad?

What about him?

Oh fuck nothing Aaron. Did I hit a nerve?

Just shut up and lets get these assholes out of here.

I dragged the body of Johnny out by the legs to the private car park, where Jeff had pulled his car around. He popped the trunk and lifted the henchmans body inside to it. Then he came around out give me a hand getting Johnny in the trunk. I couldnt just lift
him because I didnt want brains all over me so He got the arms and I got the legs. We swung him into the trunk. Well the second time we did. The first time his body hit the trunk door and bounced back to the concrete ground. But at least we got him in eventually.

Jeff opened the passenger side door and let me in, then he got in and started up the engine.

Hey, hey, hey! Seatbelt Aaron! Thats illegal!

Are you fucking kidding me?!?!

No, get the seatbelt on. Oh and open the glove compartment.

I opened it up like he said to, and their was a large silver magnum. It was fully loaded.

Tonight thats your gun okay. Just keep it with you no matter what happens okay.

Eh...yeah!

Good. All the ammo there is yours so dont run out.

Okay.

Have you ever used a gun before?

I went paintballing before?

Well alright thats a start.

Oh! And laser tag.

Jesus! This is a powerful weapon so be careful. Its for your protection but it can hurt you too, just be ready.

I fucking got it Jeff, how hard can it be to shoot this gun?

You ever see Men in Black? Anyway hopefully you wont have to find out. Okay were nearly here.

Alright. Whats the plan?

Well I'm going in there and finding that fucker.

I'm going too.

No your not!

Yeah I fucking am, I have the Magnum.

Awhh fine! I dont have time to argue with you. Lets go!

We both stepped out of the car keeping our heads low and looking around for any signs of this guy being here. Johnnys car was
in the parking lot over the gates that we climbed. It wasnt parked just left there with the keys still in the ignition, but the engine was cut.

We walked over to the doorway and walked inside. It was dark but the doorway to Johnnys office was open. We tip toed up
towards it and looked inside. It was Johnnys last henchman. He was a nervous wreck. He was shaking and crying and trying to call somebody on his phone. He poured out a large glass full of whiskey from the liqour cabinet behind him then sat down in Johnnys chair, running his fingers through his hair.

Jeff burst through the door with his hand in his jacket,like he was holding a gun. Even though he had given the gun to me. I
walked in behind him with the gun in my hand and held it up to pointing at the guy. He looked even more nervous now and began crying uncontrollably.

Please, I beg of you let me go! Please!

You should have thought about pleading when Aaron had a gun to his fucking head!

Please I'm sorry I never wanted to do it. I needed a quick buck, please. I have a child to feed.

Thats not my fucking problem.

How old is your kid?

What?

Shut up Jeff! I said how old is your kid?

She...shes five.

Wow, and do you see her often?

Not as often as I'd like. But yeah!

Aaron...

Shut up Jeff!

Please I'm begging you let me see her again.

Listen man I want you to walk out of this fucking office and never look back. Never return here and never mention anything about tonight or this so called job you had.

Fuck Aaron lets fry him.

I dont want to see a little girl without a dad just because he didnt get a proper fucking job. Now go!

Really?

No! Not really!

Jeff grabbed the gun from my hand and pointed it at the henchman. Just when he was about to shoot the guy, I tackled him to the ground and punched him in the face.

Run!

The guy ran out of the place as I held Jeff down to the ground.

What the fuck are you doing you stupid piece of shit!

Fuck off Jeff.

I let go and stood up. Jeff got up and started waving the gun around while shouting at me.

You obviously arent clear on what you did. When he goes to the cops you are going to prison for a very very long fucking time!

He wont go to the cops.

What makes you think that?!?!

I dont know. He just wont okay.

It's your ass Aaron. You go to fucking jail if you want to but tonight is not the night.

Where the fuck are you planning on taking me dickhead?

What is up with all the hostility Aaron. All the names?

Think about why!

I saved your life and got all your problems solved!

Then why am I still with you? Theres obviously something else you wanted to do.

Oh yeah, we better get going then, its fucking late. Hop in the car.

We walked outside to the parking lot. The car that was here before that belonged to Johnny was gone. When we saw that, Jeff
just looked at me shaking his head angrily. I got in and was about to put the gun in the glove compartment, but then realised this guy was fucking nuts so it might not be such a bad idea. I pretended to put it in as he lit up a smoke, and inhaled deeply letting out a sigh when he exhaled.

Theres nothing like a good smoke after a long stressful night eh Aaron?

I wouldnt know. I dont smoke.

Really? You seem to everything fucking else.

Whats that supposed to mean?

Well your addicted to addiction. I mean look at your track record. Pills, booze, gambling. I think smoking must be the only thing you havent tried yet.

Dude whatever. Lets just go get this over with so I can go home and train.

Home? You call that a home? Come on Aaron thats a closed down bar.

Yeah and its my home for a reason in case you forgot.

Yeah I know that but look where he is now. You have no more obstacles.

What are you trying to imply?

Open the bar back up. How much are you getting paid a week?

Well I get 100k a month. Extra if I'm in the main event.

Damn! I entered the wrong fucking business. Thats plenty of money to get the place back up and running. Think of it this way. You are making an excellent investment...again.

I dont know, I cant lay it all out there again just to get it swiped away from me.

Look were just about here so I need you to put this blindfold on, we'll speak later about this more. Just play it cool while I get us in okay.

Yeah fine.

I put the blindfold on as Jeff continues driving. We stopped and I heard a man speaking through a speaker or something. It was very mumbled.

Okay were here.

Who.....here

It's the package. I have Aaron O'Shea with me.

We'll....buzz...you..in.

I heard the buzzing sound the guy was talking about and the creak of maybe a gate. When the creaking stopped Jeff started
driving forward again, followed by the creak of the gate behind us again. Jeff leaned over and took the blindfold off of me. I looked around from inside the car. We were in a large courtyard or something with twenty foot tan coloured walls surrounding us. A large koi fish fountain was on front of a wide stairway to the front door of what seemed to be a mansion.

Jeff stepped out of the car and leaned over with his elbows resting on the cars roof looking around the place aswell. He
lit up another smoke while I got out of the car. I then leaned on the car looking at him. He just kept looking while he finished his smoke. When he saw the front door open he dropped the smoke on the gravel at his feet and put it out by standing on it. I peered around over my shoulder where a little asian man was walking out in a black suit. Jeff walked around to the front and sat on the bonnet of the car. I followed and stood beside him. The asian man walked up to us and shook Jeffs hand then bowed.

The boss thanks you very much for retrieving the package. We trust it went smoothly.

Oh of course it fucking did.

Im sorry?

Nothing Panda Express. Listen can you get me my fee now.

All in good time Mr...well Mr?

Just call me Jeff. And I tell you what you can call me trouble if I dont get my pay. I'm a very busy man.

Yes yes Mr Jeff. Here you go!

He handed Jeff a brown envelope which was clearly packed with cash. Jeff looked up and smiled at the asian man then turned to
me and stood up.

Well Aaron. This is where we go our seperate ways. It was pleasure doing business with you. I would say we should do this again but you dont seem to be the killing type.

Yeah man your right. Well I guess I'll look you up sometime.

Ha Aaron. You couldnt if you tried. Peace!

Jeff walked around and got in his car, he reversed fast and turned the car then drove out of the complex.

The asian man then put his hand on my shoulder. His fingers and hand were covered in oriental language tattoos, like the mafia.

Well Mr. O'Shea, its time to meet the puppeteer behind Mr. Jeff. Come on in.

I turned and walked up the steps with the asian man following closely behind. When I walked through the door way the
whole place was being patrolled by asian men in black suits like the guy behind me, only these guys had gun. Lots of fucking guns. They looked down at me from everywhere. From the hallways to the upstairs ledges. Needless to say this was just a tad uncomfortable.

Through this door Mr. O'Shea.

The door was opened by two heavily armed guards and then I saw inside. It was a very bleak room with a lot of asian art and
designs. A large leather chair spun around from behind the dark brown asian desk. It was a man in you guessed it a black suit. He looked up at me with an angry face. He picked up a cigar and cut the tip off. Thank God Johnny didnt have any of them when he was alive.

O'Shea! Sit down. We have a certain issue to talk about.

Dont I know you from somewhere?

Yes you do. It seems you know my other family members a whole lot more.

I dont know what you mean.

You will!

Jesus! Take it easy.

Easy? Like you thought she was?!?!


What the fuck are you talking about?

Bring her in Shiniwa!

I turned around to the door which I heard swinging open. A gorgeous woman walked through. She was tall and thin like a model. Beautiful! She walked past, she let out a little cheeky smile, then turned back to her father.

This is my daughter. She has something to tell you.

Im sorry do I know you miss?

Ahhhhhh!

Her Dad leaped across the table and smashed my head off his desk. Yeah I was out!
