Cold Heart Cold Heart Rex slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the ceiling then turned right to see Sophie asleep. Her black hair all tousled up and with her eyes closed and those lips that he had kissed so many times last night. He smiled at her. A smile; when was the last time he smiled or kissed a woman? But he didn’t want to dwell on the past. What mattered was her and how she loved him and he surprisingly loved her. He woke up, stretched and then her saw him across the room with a gun at him. He was in his forties in a black suit. He face was wrinkled and he had a very deep scar on his left cheek. He was about five feet, bald and he was holding a walther ppk with a silencer. Rex knew his guns but that didn’t help him now because the tables had turned. With the gun in his hand the assailant signalled him to raise his hands and stand up. Rex did as he was told because if he didn’t it could mean bad news for both of them as he was not in enough trouble already but he knew that they would come for him. They have been chasing them for a while now and they have found them. Rex asked him in a low tone “who sent you?’’ and looked over to the bed quickly and that Sophie was still asleep. The assailant said that “The boss has paid me a lot of money to hunt you down and kill you Rex. I know everything about you’’. “I knew he will send someone" Rex replied. The assailant said “he doesn’t take kindly to traitors’’. Rex realised something then. He was barefoot and in his boxer shorts and a white t shirt. Great he was going to die in them. The assailant said” before I dispatch your soul to hell Rex I am going to ask you a question. If you answer truthfully I will let you go. I will tell my employers that when I came you were gone but if you lie then I would kill you right now’’. “Now tell me now Rex. Why did you escape with her? Why did you do it knowing that the boss would not be too happy with you?’’. Rex flinched as had been shot. What kind of an assassin was he? If it was him holding the gun the other guy would be dead. He had to think or else the devil would have company soon in hell. He had asked himself that questions so many times but he couldn’t find the answer. Two weeks ago he was a stone cold killer but now he was a kissing and making love to the woman he had been warned about so many times. “I was tired of working for the boss. The killing was had to stop. All the shitty jobs that he made me do have to me and I couldn’t take it anymore. I wanted out but I couldn’t because I was his best man’’. Rex hoped that he answered correctly. He looked over to see if Sophie was still sleeping. She was and that was good because he didn’t want her to wake up and see this. The assailant then said” You are lying Rex and because of that you are going to die right now. Say hello to the devil for me’’. He then cocked the gun at him.
