Alex's pov

I was just smoking my cigarette waiting for my target to move from his position so I could rough him up in the small street i am an enforcer for the local mafia.

I was always bad at studies always failing so i quit school and joined a street gang in the slums

from pickpocketing to bullying other kids I did it all until I fucked with the wrong person who had connections with this accursed family .one call and I was forced by the gang to join their family and work as an enforcer.

This is the reason why i am in this situation.

i watch as the man hugs his wife and is about to leave the restaurant.

I flick my cigarette and sneak up behind him he is just 50 m ahead of me i increase my speed he notices me and tries to run but I catch up to him and push him into the dark alley he is looking at me with eyes full of fear.

I gulped but still proceed to punched him in the face he tried to fight back but he is slow so i dodge his punch and punched him repeatedly until he was out.

I dragged him to the back of the street and kicked him and broke his arms he woke up through the pain and started to beg at which point I stopped.

He is still looking at me with fear I tell him that he is not to testify against my "family" in the ongoing drug case

I saw he still had those defiant looks so I threatened him with his wife he swore he would not i knew only saying my family's name would shut up half the guys in the city.

This whole thing was just to make an example after beating him up i go back to the car and call the captain he picks up and answers

"is the job done"

"what no hi or anything " to my failed attempt at sarcasm i got no reply

"The job's done he won't testify"

"come back tomorrow I have another job"

call ends

I get home only to notice my house was broken into I take out my knife and enter the house

surprisingly nothing seems to be stolen from the first glance I exhale in relief

and go into the kitchen to check if anything is stolen only nothing seems out of order I go back to the living room only to see a woman in there wearing casual clothes and a holster she is packing

i don't have many options i could run or fight but she has a gun and upperhand
