The guy is silent for too long I can al around in his brain, but I have no idea what the fuck is going on inside his erous So, I stay where I a that he will see how pointless it would be to kill

“Problem is, idiot…” The blade presses in harder “Boss wants you all dead Sends ato fuck with us like Stix, so you don’t get away Even if you didn’t know anything, one more word and I’ll kill you”

“Please don’t do this” I’ for my life, even if it’s pointless “Please It doesn’t have to be this way No one even knows me, no one knew me in the city, I’m a nobody …”

“Boss knows you though, doesn’t he? And he wants you dead I don’t have a choice”

Now it’s ti ives me a minute to kick the knife out of his hand I can’t run, I don’t know if I will be faster than this guy, but I can keepstabbed

“Just leave round “Tell your boss you killed et as far away from here as possible anyway, and I won’t come back so no one will ever know I never wanted this life, and I won’t ever be a part of it again, just let o”

“So, you think you’re better thanthat way “You think I’onna let you fuck off to be a lawyer or whatever? No way”

The knife un quickly replaces it Now the fear really kicks in I need to do soht be able to survive, a gunshot, not so much This man looks like he’s shot amissed

“No, stop,” I cry out with my hands in front of my face… not that they’ll protect me

“No ot to prove ht have a chance to do other shit, but I don’t”

He’s desperate, and desperate people can do desperate things I need to think s lot will be where I die There’s a knife on the ground I don’t want to use that, but I don’t want to die either, so if I et out of here alive

I just need to wait until the right moment and dive for it I move sloith my eyes fixed on hi I’m not sure, but I think I see hesitation in him

Maybe I rong before,soht win

Then three things happen all at once Iso loud that I feel my eardrums pop under the pressure of the sound And finally, the world goes black around me
