Don’t Fear Of Darkness - Volume 1 Chapter 27 El Tor

The meeting was scheduled for Friday at 22.00 in front of the restaurant “La Vicaria” in the city of Huesca. I had three days to date, so I decided to check the equipment. At the same time I checked the area and around the restaurant using satellite images. After all, it’s better to have an emergency exit if something is going to screw up. $ 500,000 is a huge reward, but it is not my most important goal.

“What you need to develop during these missions is a brand. If people find out you’re effective, you’ll get more orders for large sums. Sometimes one order is enough to live peacefully for a few years. “Edmund said in day before I left England.

He also said that I have to keep small orders, but this may be my chance to get it done quickly. At most, he will scold me.

I cleaned the gun, checked the magazines that I had hide in different parts of my clothes and bought a one-time telephone.

I also ordered a new mask, modeled on the previous one. Now It does not look like I stole it from some child which makes me happy.

I put on myself a small gift from Edmund. I attached a special gun handle to the right thigh, so that I could reload easily and quickly.

(All the time uphill.) I thought

I looked in the mirror to see if it was all right. I looked more like a bandit than a Hunter, but what to do.

All that is left now is to wait.

________________________________________________________

I arrived at 21:55, just before the appointed time. In the morning of that day I got info that I was to meet a woman in a blue wig who would take me to place. I parked my car two streets away, then walked to the restaurant on foot. The fact that it was already dark and it was raining, made the street empty, which was a blessing for me.

When I was close, I saw a young girl who corresponded to the description. I checked my weapon and then went towards her.

______________________________

Emma Cano was furious. The boss told her to act as a guide for some unknown type who was supposed to be a killer on commissioned, despite her clear objections. In addition, they ordered her to put on some stupid wig, and if it were not for the fact that it was late and only few people around the street she would burn with shame. And to complete this day was gathering on a storm, and she had neither a jacket nor an umbrella. She just wanted to go home, have a beer and go to sleep. She took the phone in her hand to check the time. It was 10:00 pm, but the guy was still gone. She began to get impatient.

(If he does not come here within 5 minutes, I have it somewhere and I go from here.)

Just when she finished the thought, from the back a quiet voice reached her.

“I had to meet with you?”

Emma squeaked scared and jumped up to a height that would shock even the Olympic jumpers.

She turned and saw a man with a mask in the shape of time on his head. His entire outfit – his trousers and blouse and shoes – were black. He had a gun pinned to his belt and some strange piece of metal on his right thigh. If he stood somewhere in the shade and did not move, he could easily blend with the surroundings. Attention was also attracted by loosely hanging left sleeve. Probably in his case the phrase ,, I will beat you with one hand “had to be literal.

The woman calmed down and spoke:

“You in the matter of the order?” She asked in a slightly trembling voice.

The man nodded slightly.

“I-In that case though for me”

The woman began to walk towards El Toro’s house, wanting to bring him back as quickly as possible, and the man dressed in black went without a word with her.

_______________________

We walked through 4 streets, then stopped in front of a two-story building. The woman came to the door and knocked several times. The door opened slightly and a man with a dark complexion appeared. He looked slightly inserted

“What?”

“This gentleman comes in the matter of an order from El Toro.” The woman pointed at me.

The man looked at me briefly, then looked at my holster.

“No weapon inside. If you want to enter, you leave a weapon with me. You will take it when you leaving. ”

I hesitated for a moment, but I decided to return my weapon.

“Okay, you can get in… hick… El Toro is waiting on the top floor, first door on the left.

“Thank you.”

I passed the guest and went upstairs.

(What a moron, he did not even search me.)

I had a knife hidden under trousers. If he searched me he would probably find it. I love morons like him.

I stood in front of the room the bodyguard pointedt me on downstairs, so I knocked.

Knock, knock.

“Come in,” someone inside said.

I opened the door and went inside. The room was quite large but simply decorated. A few shelves set near the walls, on which there were some trinkets, books, etc. Opposite the entrance was an oak desk, on which lay several files of paper, a computer and a wooden figurine of a bullfighter. The only manifestation of extravagance was a rug made of bullskin and a stuffed bull’s head hung on the wall behind the desk.

There were three people in the room. One was sitting behind the desk and the other two were standing on his sides. He was an elderly man in his sixties with thick gray hair. In spite of his age, his face was still handsome and his green eyes were full of life.

The one on the left was over 2 meters tall, and his body looked like one large muscle. He looked like he was drinking testosterone and steroids with his mother’s milk. His hair shaved on skin and the idiot’s appariton distinctly showed his intelligence. He looked at me all the time as if looking for a provocation.

The second bodyguard was his opposite. He was much lower than the gorilla beside him and not so much beefy. Dressed in a well-fitting suit, he exuded an aura of elegance. His eyes were calm and cool. He watched me without much interest.

Seeing me, the older man smiled and stood up.

“Oh, you must be a man who accepted the order. Nice to meet you, I’m El Toro, and you? ”

“Call me as you please, as long as you pay me, I do not care.” I said indifferently.

“I understand. However, I am a bit surprised by the fact that the killer who will come here will be … not fully functional. ”

“It will not be an obstacle, I can assure you of it.”

“You see, boy, throughout my life many people have assured me in many different matters, but mostly on assurances ended. So do not blame me for not trusting this issue. ”

“I no blame you. In the end, only the results bring confidence, right? ”

El Toro, hearing this, smiled wider. ”

“Ah, I would have forgotten, I have not presented you to my bodyguards. The one on the left is Pablo, and the one on the right is Bruno. ”

Pablo only grunted in my direction, and Bruno nodded slightly.

El Toro turned to me again.

“I have a rule that everyone gives a chance to prove their worth, so I will momentarily believe in your assurances. So without any ado, let’s get to business. ”

He snapped his fingers, and Bruno came up to me and gave me a picture of some man.

“His name is Bob River and he will be your target.”

I looked at the picture. There was something about him about 30 years old. It could be called a fatty gently, but bluntly he was as fat as if he was eating fast food 365 days a year. Short brown hair combed back and face full of pimples.

“Maybe he looks harmless, but he is a powerful drug dealer who has recently come into our competence. It even came to the fact that he governed in Port Barcelona which was our important base. He denied us from there, and now he brings huge amounts of cocaine and marijuana to the port, stealing our income. ”

“I have the irresistible feeling that there is more to it, because you would not hire a killer if you could do it on your own.”

“Well, it’s true that there have been some complications. We tried to do it on our own, but he always slipped away from us, but now there was an opportunity to get him. ”

“It means?”

“On Sunday evening, a container will enter the port with 20 tons of drug on board. The river will personally supervise the delivery. ”

“If you know that, what do I need you for?”

“My people are not very … subtle. They have a decent firepower there, so the frontal attack falls out. In addition, he bribed the local police and officials, now they are eating from his hand. I need someone who sneaks in there silently and finishes it before someone realizes it. ”

“I understand. However, I agree with him, I want know few things. ”

“What exactly?” El Toro asked

“How many people he have , which will be the dock at exactly what time, and also about the payment.”

El Toro nodded and handed me the flash drive.

“All information can be found here. As for the money, you’ll get 50,000 as an advance, and the rest after completing the task. Deal?”

I was thinking about this moment. It’s all too easy. If it were so easy, they would not set such a prize.

“I agree, but instead of 500,000 I want to get a million.

El Toro raised his eyebrows in surprise, and Bruno continued to say nothing. In turn, Pablo was furious.

“What do you imagine? Mr. El Toro gives you a chance to earn, and you still want more? After that, I do not believe that any cripple would be able to do something. ”

“I bet I would do more than a bully like you.”

“You…”

Pablo threw himself in my direction. Although big, it was surprisingly fast. However, after months of training with Edmund he was not faster for me than the turtle.

I leaned to the right, avoiding the blow, then used the momentum of the giant and disable him. Pablo fell to the ground with a bang, but it just made him angry. He quickly got up and charged again, but I was prepared. I leaned forward and jumped his way. The man, seeing this, hesitated a little, which was enough for me. I jumped between his legs and before he could react, I kicked him behind knee with all my strength. Pablo m.o.a.ned and knelt on one leg. I took the knife out of my pocket under trousers and put it on his throat. Bruno reacted this time and quickly reached for the gun, but El Toro stopped him with a gesture.

“One false move and you are dead.” I said calmly,

Pablo muttered something incomprehensible, but he did not move.

Then El Toro began to laugh and clap.

“Great! I can see that you have certain skills. Let it be a million. Now, could you take the knife? ”

I undo the knife and put it away. Pablo looked at me with hatred in his eyes.

We agreed details for a moment, and then I wanted to leave when El Toro stopped me. ”

“I see you’re new in this profession, so I’ll give you some advice. Get a nickname. It may not seem like that, but it is useful. ”

I thanked for the advice and left. I had to prepare for Sunday.

______________________________

After the man in the mask leaving, El Toro stopped smiling and turned to Bruno.

“What do you think about him?”

“It’s hard to tell. He has some skills, but I doubt he will succeed. If he was fully functional, then maybe … ”

“You do not appreciate him.”

Bruno frowned.

“In what sense?”

“In every. This boy is much more dangerous than you think. ”

“Where does this certainty come from?”

“I have been living in this world for some time and I have seen this and that. Let’s say it would be good to have a good relationship with him in the future. ”

El Toro smiled mysteriously.
