Knock Knock

After continuous knocks which was persistent for while. The person inside the room wakes up.

'Damn its so noisy , who the hell is banging on my door so early in the morning'

Elijah got up from his bed with a grunt

"yeah yeah I'm coming stop banging already"

Elijah opened the door. The person opposite greeted Elijah with a smile, which Elijah made a face that said 'What's your damn problem mate'

"Yo"

"What happened Alfrey why are you here so early in the morning"

" Its Afternoon actually" Alfrey sighed looking at his partner.

"can I come in atleast"

"uhh.....yeah sure" Elijah makes way for Alfrey. when Alfrey came in he saw the poor state of the room which was obviously not tended for weekes, There were ordered food packets and a pile of empty bottles.

The room inside was suffocating and reeked of alcohol " Seriously buddy how you live in this shit hole" Alfrey looked at him questioningly.

Elijah simply avoided his stare and asked "so why are here"

" Ahh yes.. we got a new mission to complete, certain 'goods' must be delivered to boss and we have to leave now. I'm not hearing any complaints okay. "

"And who are we supposed to meet"

Elijah asked, completely ignoring what those 'goods' were.

Elijah and Alfrey were both involved in serious crime syndicate which dealt with almost every kind of crime imaginable. Whether it may be drugs, Murder, smuggling, human trafficking.

" I'm not briefed about it yet, we have to go to the base first" Alfrey said. 'he looked awfully cheerful 'Elijah thought.

"okay give me a minute, I'll get dressed " saying that Elijah turned and went to his bedroom to change.

'How in the world I ended up involving myself with this mafia shit, I'm supposed to go to college and think of whether to join civil service or join 'special forces' Damn it!! " Elijah grimaced while looking at the letter written by his parents.

'Dear Elijah,

We're sorry for leaving without telling a word. we couldn't leave if we saw you. we know we are being very selfish here. but know that we love you and forever will.

Don't go looking for us, we are leaving for far away place and it's dangerous. stay home, complete your studies and try getting into government special forces. trust me that's best for your future.

We will come back once we settle our business, don't do anything stupid. We know you can achieve great things and we trust you.

Take care Elijah.

Lovingly

Ethan and Elena'

Elijah first felt anger when he first read the letter two years ago. Now he was bitter, hollow and disappointed in himself for not living up to his parents expectations. Just half an year later they left he got involved in mafia.

"I feel so pathetic,that I want to smash my head" Elijah sighed softly , keeping the letter in his drawer, looking at it for few moments he stood up and left.
