I woke up to someone banging on my bedroom door. I got up groaning and ripped the door open. "What!?", I asked annoyed. "Finally! Get ready, you need to start early today, Alex", Mr. Bossy also known as Dan scolded.

Dan was my roommate and partner. We had been working together as soon as Dan joined this 'workgroup'.

I slammed the door shut before going back to my lovely bed and flopped down. "ughhhhhh!", I groaned. I loathe working alone and today I have to work on delivering 'packages' alone and it's even earlier than usual.

As you have probably guessed by now I was not looking forward to it. After 10 minutes of me just laying and drowning in annoyance because of work I finally got up and took a shower and putting on some clothes before getting out of my room.

I picked up a piece of toast and hurried out. Shit shit, I'm late! I finally reached the meeting place where I will receive the packages I need to deliver.

Someone tapped me on my shoulder. I turned around to see some guy. Sheesh, did he really have to touch me? "Alex, right?", he asked. I nodded and he pushed a bundle of packed things and left. Rude.

I checked the address on them and the delivery spots were so far apart from each other. Ughhhh. Welp, I better get this done. I headed to the first address which was around 30 minutes away.

Hahh, I'm finally here. I knocked on the door and no one answered so I knocked again. I did this a couple of times more until finally a grumpy old lady.

"Can't you wait!?", she spat. I just rolled my eyes and gave her the package. She snatched it out of my hands and opened it.

I turned to leave but she grabbed my arm. why are people so touchy? "why is there such a small amount, huh!? I clearly asked for a lot more!", she yelled and waving a small bag containing white powder in front of my face.

"I don't decide how much you get or manage that. You probably didn't pay enough and that's that. Have a good day", I said and turned around quickly walking away while she yelled more.

If you haven't guessed what I deliver, it's drugs, firearms whatever really. As long as I get paid I'm delivering it. This may not be the best job according to this so-called 'society' but it pays the bills and that's all that matters to me.

of course, I have to be careful about the police but to be honest they didn't really cared much and just let us be most of the time. I delivered the rest of the 'packages' to similar drunkards.

I was currently in front of my last stop for the day and it was already night. I knocked and a guy wearing a mask instantly opened the door.

He grabbed my arm and pulled me inside. He pushed me down to the floor. "Yo, What the hell!", I said.

He locked the door before turning to me. I sat up and was about to stand up but he put his hand on my shoulder and pushed me back down. "What is wrong with y-"

"Who's your boss", he cut me off.

I looked at him confused. Who on earth is this psycho? He snapped his finger in front of my face. "Who. Is. Your. Boss?" , he repeated.

"Look, I don't know who you are nor do-" "I didn't ask that, just tell me; Who your boss is?", he said. I sighed. What kind of shit did I just got myself in?

"I'm just a delivery boy so go to your nearest post office, they'll tell you", I said nonchalantly. What I didn't expect him to do was actually punch me!

I held my nose. Shit that hurt! Ahh good, it's not broken but it still hurts!! "I'm not interested in that type of delivery", he said calmly.

"What do you want then!? You want to find my boss then ask there", of course the one he will find won't be actually my boss, I mean you already know what type of deliveries I do.

"Do you even in who's territory you have been delivering, huh?", he said.

"No I just deliver what's given to me and I don't know what the big deal with delivering some random stuff is?", I said getting up.

I subtly looked around the room we were in, for a way out. I noticed an opened window. Bingo.

"Random stuff?", he laughed throwing his head back.

I took that chance and bolted towards the window and actually managed to jump out!

I ran as fast I could taking sharp turns without looking back. Hopefully, he didn't follow me, if he did I'm sure I must have lost him at some point. I ran a good distance just to be safe before finally stopping in some alleyway panting.

I was holding my knees as I took deep breaths. "Wow, you're fast", I turned around and looked behind me in utter shock. That psycho followed me! I slowly stepped back trying to make some distance between us.

"Ready to talk now?", he said with amusement lacing his words. This bastard was enjoying this! I didn't answer him though.

He sighed, "Alright, now I'm annoyed, I'm warning you, just tell me who you work for and we'll be on our own merry way or else…" he left the sentence hanging.

I gulped but didn't answer. To be hones- what the? He was in front of me in a blink of an eye.

"Don't blame later, I warned you", Wha- he punched me hard I immediately bent over in pain and then nothing…
