Part 30

Part 30

The gunman was a smart young man. He dropped the gun and backed away pleading for me to let his brother go.

"Funny, you were a thug five minutes ago, now you're crying like a bitch. It's taking everything in me not to snap his fucking neck. Go over there, face the wall, and get on your knees." I said enforcing my authority.

He does what he's told, then I pushed his brother to the wall and told him to do the same. I kept my eyes on them while putting on another new pair of latex gloves. I may have used five pairs so far, more than I've  ever used in a single night. I picked up the gun, pointed it at the back of their heads, and told them to empty their pockets. I went up to each of them, holding open my shopping bag like a kid on Halloween, awaiting to be showered with all the sugary goodness they had to offer.

Both guys are trying empty their pockets as fast as they could. I told them to put their cell phones in the bag, but they can get them from the dumpster in the next alley way. Piecing out the gun, I toss each section in different directions, while telling them to count slowly to fifty, and that if I ever see them again I'll slit their throats. Both babbling, I walk out the alley but once I turned the corner I started jogging. I didn't want them to hear me take off and come after me so I kept as quiet as I could.  I dumped their phones, fully attached, and kept pushing towards the hotel.

Reaching the hotel, I wasn't out of breath, but extremely sweaty. I walked pass the concierge and was called by first and last name.

"Mr. Ryan Matters?"

"Yes, yes ma'am."

"You have a package that was dropped off for you." The young lady reaching over the desk attempting to give me an envelope.

"Honey, do you know who dropped this off? I mean, did you see their face?"

"No Mr. Matters, I apologize! I wasn't here when it was dropped off. I can always put a flashing note on your account, so when you call or come down there should be an answer for you. Hopefully by four o'clock this evening at or around shift change."

"Okay, thank you."

I didn't open up the envelope right away. I made my way to the room, showered, and grabbed a bite to eat. Once settled, I opened the envelope and there were at least fifteen little notes telling me to watch myself, be careful with the company I keep, Matt isn't to be trusted, and the trip back home will show me everything I needed to see. Sitting on the edge of the bed perplexed, I stuffed the notes in my  duffle bag that I keep my clothes; I laid back, and watched TV until I fell asleep.

Awaken the next afternoon by Matt pacing the floor. I sat up in bed just watching him at first. Then I asked what was going on. He started by fumbling over his words, "we go, we need to go."

"What's going on? I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what's up."

"Alright, but we need to start packing and get on the road. I'll tell you everything on the way."

"Bro, you've been gone for like a month. I'm not packing shit or going anywhere without knowing what happened."

"I was smoking weed with some friends and we had a few drinks. I may have killed one of them, because when I woke up I was covered in blood."

"What the fuck Matt. Running isn't going to fix this, where's the body?"

"That's the problem, I don't know."

"Well,  we're not going back home until we clean this mess up. Contact your friends so we can meet up, we may be able find out for sure what's going on if anything."

"Yeah, good point."

I knew that I couldn't trust him, so I prepared myself for whatever may come. Matt smiles then walks out the room. I put a pocket knife between my belt and waistband. Got dressed, putting on loose jeans, my running socks and tennis shoes, and called down to the front desk to let them know that I will not be checking out. I made them aware that the only person that can check me out is me. I gave the young lady a password to add to my account and some disclosure information.

This is where it all starts to unfold........

SN: I will be off site for a few weeks so I can run edits and wait for approval for a release dates. During this time I will attempt to start a new story to keep everyone occupied until I can come back to posting three or more parts a day. Each one of the parts are generally lengthy so we shall see.
