How to become a Hitman.....by accident
and how my day was ruined

CRASH!! An old black SUV slams into a parked car right in front of me just as I exit my apartment. It was early, so no one else was around, it was just me, this accident scene, and the guy slumped over the steering wheel. After the shock of what just happened passed, I dropped my coffee, and ran over to see if the guy needed help.
Tapping on the glass, I yelled into the truck "Hey Man, You OK?"
The door swung open, and he fell out. The wreck was the least of his worries, as it was apparent he had been shot 3 times. he simply reached out with a little black book, handed it to me, and said "Finish it...", and either passed out or died. I heard sirens in the distance, and not wanting to have to deal with the cops, I got out of there quick.
As I walked away, I looked through the book.....names and addresses all crossed off, except the last one. Oddly enough, it was just a few blocks away in a neighborhood I couldn't afford. So I thought maybe get this book to this guy, and he can go help the other guy after I explain what happened, and let him deal with the cops.
I knock at the door, hear movement inside and talking, and a "who is it?" calls out from the other side.
"Hey man, I got something I think may belong to you..."
The door swings open, and there is this tall long haired man in a robe and pajamas pacing back and forth talking on the phone, and he tells me "one sec"
He goes into the kitchen and comes back with money, looks at me confused, then tells the person on the phone "I'll call you back." and hangs up.
"So where's my food?" He asks me.
"I'm not a delivery guy....I am here to give you this." and I attempt to hand him the little black book. His face drops, and he goes white, he starts stammering and moving away from me.
"I knew they'd find me! Dammit..."
He then looks up at me, and dashes to the kitchen. After scrambling through a drawer he runs back at me pointing a gun in my face.
"You may be some sort of super assassin, but I'm not going down without a fight!"
Before I knew what I was doing, I grabbed the gun, and tried yelling at the guy, but he just started screaming and struggling. BANG! the gun goes off, and the guy falls over face first to the floor not moving. As I stand there trying to make sense of what is going on, his phone rings. Over and over again it rings until I finally snap back to the reality of what just happened. I don't know why I did it, but I picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Is it done?"
I realize this was supposed to happen, and the guy in the SUV was either the previous crossed off name in the little black book, or he was the one doing the crossing off. Either way, whoever was on the other end of this phone expected an answer.
I just said "Yes"
"Good. Go to the freezer in the kitchen, have some waffles. We'll be in touch." click
My head was spinning, I didn't know what the hell was going on. I go to the kitchen, open the fridge, and sure enough there sits a frost covered box of waffles. Inside though is $20,000 cash. Payment I am guessing for this guys termination. I opened the little black book, and the guys name and address are crossed off, and another appears below it, but this one is across the state. I don't know why but I have the feeling I need to end this little black book mystery.
