It's been a day now and the suit had just arrived, it was properly packaged and it was brought by the right-hand man of the big boss. He handed me the package and asked, how are things going on your side? fine all is well as long nothing has changed in the information given to me. Believe me, the information is from very high above it is impossible to be wrong, is there anything else you might need? I was wanting to ask, are they going to pick me up here or at the bosses place? It depends on your preferences after all it is your mission. So I can order for two SUVs and a driver if I want to right? Like I say it's your mission. I'll be bringing some guys with me to pose as my security so please tell the big boss to not be surprised and I'll also need four suits before the days end if possible. I believe that will be all for now. Consider it done. He left and I went back into my apartment. for the past few days, things have been tough and I've found myself drowning in my own thoughts. I am not that acquainted with most of the guys involved in this mission but most of them think am just inviting them for a classic party, I hope things go as planned.
I entered my apartment only this time the first thing I noticed was the mirror at the side of the door. It's strange how one can look at himself and find an exact copy but often times the mirror show an infinite copy of one's self, mainly good or bad but for me, both are as dark as night, some say it will always get better, the light will surely come at the end but I wish that light to never come. They say before a person's final breath he sees that light and I know with all my soul that's the only light I'll see. What the mirror reflects is not often what it shows or reveals. One can feel sad but in the insides joyous, one can appear joyful but feel miserable, one can appear presentable and well dressed but carries an arsenal of deceitful plots with intent to do despicable things. And I find myself in all categories. All I see in my soul is darkness, an empty void filled with dark fog, fog as dark as coal. I can't help but think about tomorrow, which could very well be my last. Most of my men would already be at the venue by this time waiting. Sometimes I pray tomorrow never comes for with it comes with pending issues of the last day and sometimes we wish these problems would just go away but life chose not to design itself like that. I walked to my bed and I opened the windows for fresh air as I often do at night and before I could take my eyes off the streets I saw a black car parked at the roadside and it's been there since I collected the suit from the big boss right-hand man. They've probably told someone to watch me just in case I have any ideas of running the night before the mission, I know for a fact that if I tried to run that guy in the car will definitely finish the job by killing me first. There is no way out of this business, not really, even the ones on the top answer to someone higher and that person also has who he answers to, it's a circle. I picked up my phone and called Tage to see if they are already there, he picked up almost immediately as it rang. Are you there yet? yes, we are already lodged, by the way, this hotel is exquisite. How are the preparations for the occasion? The security here is very tight and it appears they are very prominent people in the hotel and from the look of things more people will be coming tomorrow. How far are you from the control room? It's on the top floor the one above where we are, but it is well guarded so it will be difficult to infiltrate without using force. No, no, I say you wait for once the occasion begins most of the guards will be watching their clients, by that time it will be easy for you guys. That will be all for now and please don't do anything stupid, if possible stay in your rooms, good night.
All is well from their side but I can't help but feel worried. Tage does what he likes most of the time and that's why he's always been the one to get in trouble but sometimes he can really surprise you in so many ways. He has a talent for talking his way into the minds of people which was exactly what I was depending on at this point. The plan was to get one of the waiters as one of our guys and I believe only Tage can pull that off. Sparco on the other hand is well-spoken and also has this intimidating look on his face. He's the biggest of us and also the strongest when it comes to brute force. He has well-built physic and he covers my back if ever problem comes and he listens most of the time mostly when he does not understand what is going on. The rest of the guys are just street thieves who listen to everything they are told without asking questions and that is precisely what I needed. At last, I went to sleep and decided that whatever happens tomorrow is already fated.
It's already morning and the two SUVs just arrived. The occasion is not until the evening but it's better to be safe than sorry. I passed the suits to the guys before I went on to study the plan once again, the only way possible to kill the target without drawing attention was poisoning, something slow but lethal just the same, but that plan can only be successful only if we have one of the waiters as our man then there will be no suspicion. It's been hours now and it was time to go. To be sincere with myself it's one of the most confusing feelings have ever had, I feel proud but scared, alone but with companions, sad but glad, disappointed at myself but without regret, certain of my abilities but uncertain of who I might become after the end of today. The journey to the hotel was shot and for that, I was glad for it took the uncertainty out of my mind for even if I don't do it another executioner will. The hotel was luxurious and beautiful, I've been here some days ago but for some reason, I didn't have the time to look around or even lookup. it had a very beautiful garden leading to the reception, to the left was a swimming pool and a bush bar for relaxing, while to the right was a building, a very big hall from the size and in the front of that building has a very large space for parking of cars. We stepped down from the car and walked towards the reception, the venue is very protected which was why it was inside the building, it was not that big but big enough to suit everyone invited. We entered the reception and asked for directions as expected, they collected my invitation and told one of the staff to lead the way. only one of my guards was allowed to follow me as expected, the passage to the hall was small and well protected, they even scanned for weapons before letting us through. The plan was a success for some of the servers are going in throw the staff door, Tage himself was with them. All I have to do was step in, converse and put on a gentleman's face and everything will go well.
