There’s something…satisfying about a clean kill.
A feeling of elation at a job well done.
Those six men earlier at the Brunelli estate hadn’t known what hit them.
Any more than the stupid bastard lying dead at my feet in this less-than-clean alley knew either.
Pity he didn’t live long enough to enjoy the money I was supposed to pay him, but there really was no reason for him to live once he’d fulfilled his contract. “Never leave any loose ends” has always been my policy. and it’s worked well for me so far.
This man did as I instructed and diverted attention to Leon Brunelli and his wife by shooting at them when they left the restaurant earlier, leaving me free to go to the estate to eliminate Janina Sokolova aka Janina Borzikova.
Except she had been shut in the nursery there with Leon Brunelli’s son.
Shooting trained bodyguards and contract killers is one thing; killing the daughter of one of those bratva bastards is also acceptable, but a young baby possibly becoming collateral damage?
No, the line had to be drawn in the sand somewhere.
Besides, Brunelli would hunt and haunt me to my grave if I harmed a hair on his son’s head.
No, there will be other opportunities to kill Janina Borzikova.
I’ll make sure of it.
