SHADOW POV

The current year is 1940,month July day,15th,location New York and I'm...cleaning up a little problem.

Thug:please I'm sorry, ok am sorry-!

I placed my hand around his neck.

Shadow:shshshhh... Where is the money?

Thug:I-I dont have it ye-

Shadow:I am losing my patience and the Don has lost his. He gave you two weeks I'd say he was pretty generous *BANG!*

I shot his knee.

Thug:ahhhh! Please listen-!

I covered his mouth.

Shadow:no you listen! When you take a loan from the Don and dont pay it back...he sends people like me, people who are very good at they do and enjoy it...you know who I am?

He shook his head fast.

Shadow:good...let that little thought keep you up at night. You have two days to get the money or...I'll pay you another visit and it wont be as pleasant as the one I paid your little brother

I threw a black bag at him. He opened it and began to break down. I smiled while walking away.

Shadow:Ma always "enjoy what you do"

Time to check in with the Don. I exited the apartment and walked down the streets of New York.

Shadow:Maybe I'll stop for a drink?

I decided to stop at a little Cafe who paid the Mob  protection money. I walked in and noticed only one table was full with a few of the Don's boys. I walked over to the counter and a waitresses walked out. From what I recall her name was Carmella.

Carmella:oh Shadow didnt think you'd come back...ya miss me~?

Everyone who knew the Don knew me. I was his...enforcer,righthand man,the guy who does the dirty work. But the rest call me Shadow.

Shadow:no,but I do miss your coffee

Carmella:let me guess black?

I nodded.

Carmella:back in a second

I noticed a few of the Don's boys staring at me. Probably because I dont work for the Don full time. When there's somthing needing done he hires me. I'm what you call a hitman.

Carmella:here ya go

Shadow:how much do I owe ya?

Carmella:five dollars

I placed the money on the counter and quickly drank it. I stood up and was about to leave when-

???:Shadow!

The Don's boys. They looked pissed and afraid.

Goon:you think you can just take our position as the Don's right hand!?

Shadow:he pays good, I do good. Now why dont you take a seat I'm leaving any way

I hear a click.

Goon:oh no you ain't

I face the man as he held a gun to my head. I wasnt afraid nor was I intimidated.

Shadow:Carmella, go in the back for a minute

She new what was going to happen and ran to the back. The other Goons got up.

Goon:you ready t-

I grabbed the gun and broke his arm. Shot two then one charged me, pushing me into a wall. I shot him then the last who tried to run. I walked over to the first guy.

Shadow:you really shouldnt of done that

Goon:wait please-!*BANG*

He fell to the ground. The door to the cafe opened and in came the Don with five armed men.

Don:what is this Shadow!?

Shadow:they instigated this

Don:I was told otherwise. You know I knew you would betray me...one day, so

He snapped his fingers and the guns were trained on me.

Don:I'm sorry*BANG*

I let my life slip away.
