That little black book

I walked to the bathroom to clean the blood off my face. The phone lights up. “Deposit complete. Make sure to get what we need.” The phone hangs up. I exhaled as I turn the faucet on to splash some water on my face. I closed my eyes to relive my hit. What can I say I love what I do! I stepped over the dead man’s body to search for this little black book. I still couldn’t believe I took this little hit for this old man. What do they take me for? I’m top 3 of the month for crying out loud. I looked all over this small apartment, but that book was nowhere to be found. I walked over to the man and turned his body over. I stood over his lifeless body. “Where is the damn book damn it!” My eyes finally spotted a loose board in the floor. I smiled. “Sneaky old man.” I moved the rug that was barely covering it and lifted the secret door. The lights of the secret room turned on as I took a step in. The room was filled with money, gold, and all types of artifacts. And all they want is this little black book. He had so much in this small room I couldn’t figure out why only this book. At the end of the room there it was in a glass case with all is passports and important files. I picked up the book and left putting everything back in place. Once I reached the door. I could hear the cleanup crew doing what they do best. They all looked at me as I stepped out the trap room. “Hey guys, don’t mind me.” I walked past them giving them a thumbs up. “Thank you for all you do guys.” Being a wise ass as usual. I walked out the building and jumped in my car tossing that book in a baggy. Making sure it’s secured. In the back of my mind I wanted to know what’s in this damn book! I finally got to my room and ran a nice hot bath. That old man put up a hell of a fight. “I deserve this nice soak.” I said to myself as I slid my ass in that tub. I reached over to that baggy with that little black book in it. Just dangling it. “Should I risk it all and look into you book?” Like it can really talk to me. I sucked my teeth. “Fuck it.” I opened the bag and tossed it to the floor as I crack the book open. My eyes began to scan every line, every name, and couldn’t believe what I was reading. This man had so much power over a lot of people and of course they send someone to take him out, but there have been many that could never touch this man. To myself. Ha, it takes a woman to kill a man huh?” I laughed to myself, but quickly ended. I started to get upset at the fact that they paid me so little to take out a man that had so much power over them. My mind began to race. I wanted them to think twice before taking advantage of my skill, my passion, and my fucking feelings. Pacing the bedroom floor
