From the beginning, I knew what I was in for. I knew that this scenario would end one way or another. I wasn't stupid. Nobody put a gun to my head and forced me to play this game of cat-and-mouse.
But I will say, I never pictured that this would occur.
I stood there, my brother's silver Smith and Wesson in my hands, directing it at my deadly target. My eyes bore into his, his indicating no sign of emotion, while mine were filled with horror.
"It's you," I said, my voice unsteady.
He took another step closer to me, his hands in the pockets of his trench coat. A malicious grin formed upon his face. His signature expression.
"Surprise," he replied before sauntering forward to finish what he started six months ago.
