Chapter 6 - Memories of days gone

I remember the first time I met Lamb. It was a warm summer night and I decided to spend it at the bar I used to frequent. I stepped outside to have a smoke and sat down on the sidewalk. I was chilling enjoying the moonlight, when an attractive young girl in a lace cut-out side dress walked up to me.

"Hey mister yah want to have some fun. $200 for 60 minutes or $350 for 120, I'll do anything you ask. what do you think?" She sounded Nervous as hell. I put out my cigarette and looked at her.

"What I think is that girls like you should be looking forward to graduating college. Not selling themselves on the street for creeps like me."

"I didn't ask for a philosophy lesson! Are you buying or not!?" Her voice was full of fluster and anger… (Me Likey).

"Sure I'll take an hour." I said as I handed her $200. She took the money henitanly.

"Ok Uh, Are we going to a motel or something?" She was sweating bullets.

"Sit." I said.

"Umm, what?" she asked.

"Sit down right here, Tell me what's wrong."I said.

"I-I thought we were going to…" She was starting to stutter.

" Would you rather do that? Because if you do, I know a pretty sweet motel across the city-" I teased.

"No no, Talking is fine." She sat down on the cerb right next to me.

We talked about Why She was a "Lady of the Night". It Turns out her younger sister took out a loan for college and wasn't able to make payments on time. Unfortunately the man that she took out a loan from was an infamous Loan shark and her sister would have had to "work on the streets" if it weren't for her older sister finding out. She volunteered to do the work for her as she felt that her younger sister didn't deserve that. Tonight is actually the first night she's supposed to work, matter of fact I'm her first customer.

"I've heard enough. Come with me." I took her to my car parked out in front of the bar.

"Get in, we're going for a ride." I Beckoned.

"Where to?" She asked

"To pay an old friend a visit." I Winked.

After driving around the city for a while we happened upon a wealthy neighborhood. We stopped across the street from a large white mansion.

"Open the glove box and hand me what's inside." I said. She opened the glove box and saw a black box inside.

"What's this!?" She asked.

"There should be another thing in there, can you get it?" I asked. She dug even deeper and pulled out a large mask.

"Is this a Rubber rat mask!?" she said, surprised. She handed me the mask. I pulled some black latex gloves out of it and put them on. I opened the plack box and pulled out a metal tube.

"What's that!?" She asked. I started assembling it.

"Welrod, buddy of mine knows how to get any weapon you ask him for. Hey I never got your name" I Said.

"It's Jenny." She said.I Nodded.

I put on the rat mask and got out of the car. I walked Down the street and climbed over the fence and landed in the yard. The Shark had three dobermans as security but they were fast asleep. Quietly walked to an open window, he probably had it open because it was hot. I climbed up to his window and crawled inside. I saw the Shark sleeping soundly on his bed. He had no one to share his wealth with no wife, no kids, no nothing.

I took a pillow and placed it over his face, the moment I did this he woke up and started falling around. I put my pistol up to his head and said.

"Jenny says hello." I pulled the trigger and fired the gun. The pistol made almost no noise thanks to its special suppressor. I then left the house and got back to the car.

" I didn't know you were an assassin!" She yelled. I Put my hand over her mouth and shushed her.

"I'm not, at least not officially. You won't have to deal with that scumbag again." I assured her.

" Can't Believe you would do that for a girl like me! And without pay nonetheless." She said, I took off my mask.

"Not necessarily true." I showed her a large bag and opened it revealing at least 50 bands in cash.

" Did you steal this all from him?" She asked.

"Yep, let's just say that our friend here didn't like to keep his savings in a bank. Look, I'm not exactly short on cash right now so how's' bout I give you half?" I offered her.

"You're doing all these things for me but I don't even know your name,"she said.

"Oh yeah, about that My buddies call me Rat But you can call me-
