A bright red Ducati 848 pulls into a parking spot near a theatre on the corner of 31 st & broadway new york city.
Riding the machine is Salvatore Salvatore’ a ruthless hit man who will kill anyone if the price is right.
Salvatore revs the engine as he waits for his target to exit the theatre for intermission.He is a smoker so soon he will emerge for a nicotine fix.
As Salvatore waits he pulls a glock 3×4789 revolver from his jacket pocket and screws a silencer in place.
He doesn’t have to wait long because soon the theatre doors fly open and some of the patrons come rushing outside.
His target lights a cigarette and Salvatore recognises him right away,he guns his bike and inches forward in the traffic.
When he is level with the mark he raises his arm and fires a single shot into the forehead of his victim.
Then he gives his ducati full throttle and disappears into the night
At home a few hours later Salvatore is relaxing at home waiting for an email to arrive to confirm the hit and payment into his overseas account.
And an hour later he is $ 100,000 richer and proud of a job well done.
Salvatore is 42 years old 6′ 2” tall weighing 180 pounds with black wavy hair and an athletic build he likes to wear hand made italian suits with gucci shoes.
He could be a banker or an accountant on their way to work but he is anything but,he also has the ability to blend in with the background nobody notices him he is the ghost that walks.
Salvatore is riding his ducati around manhattan taking in the sites when his cellphone vibrates in his pocket.
Someone else needs killing.
He parks his bike near central park and has a seat on a bench and starts to read the email from his boss.
The client is a Mrs Anne Bartelli who is tired of her husbands womanising and she wants him gone.
She will pay $ 150,000 if her husband suffers a slow and agonising death.
Salvatore prefers to kill nice and quick but for that type of money he will do what the client requires.
A week later he arrives at the Bartelli household dressed as a plumber and knocks on the door.
A middle aged man answers ‘Yes how can i help you?’ Salvatore answers ‘ Mr Bartelli? I am hear to fix your leaking toilet’
Bartelli starts to answer when Salvatore pulls his glock from his toolbox and tells his target to step back inside and Salvatore follows him in.
Salvatore ties Bartelli naked to a chair with a sock stuffed into his mouth and gets to work.
And for the next hour Salvatore goes about his business with a minimum of fuss.Using every tool in his toolbox he inflicts more pain than any human can handle and thankfully Bartelli loses consciousness.
Salvatore decides that enough is enough and quickly finishes the job and slices Bartelli’s neck open from ear to ear.
Then he packs up his toolbox and leaves without being seen.
But he has been seen.
Upstairs looking through the railings is a five year girl too stunned to make a sound.
Little Emily was supposed to go to school today but she talked her daddy into taking her to the zoo instead.
Now she is so traumatised she cant move a muscle as she watches her daddies killer walk out the door.
For the next decade Salvatore has performed over a dozen more murders earning himself a lot of money.
And with a savvy business mind and investments Salvatore now has more money than he could ever dream of.
So he treats himself to a porsche and large yacht that he approporiately names ‘Salvatore”
While Salvatore has been making his millions Emily Bartelli has been in and out of institutions.
She is still so traumatised that she hasn’t uttered a word since witnessing her fathers murder ten years ago.
Today Emily is walking along the jetty towards the waters of hudson bay.As she walks she admires all of the boats moored at the marina.
And she remembers the times that her father used to take her fishing out in the bay.She smiles to herself for a second as she remembers the good times.
Than her she looks over to a boat called ‘Salvatore” and the man tending the sails.He looks vaguely familiar.
Than her heart starts to palpitate.Surely her eyes aren’t playing tricks on her.
It has to be the same man.The man who killed her father.
Emily emits a low growl from her throat and utters the first word that she has uttered in ten years ‘murderer’.
She silently climbs aboard the ‘Salvatore’ and launches herself at the killer
Salvatore senses movement behind and turns around,but a second too late.He is hit hard and his feet get tangled in the ropes and he and his attacker both land in the water.
Salvatore desperately tries to free himself from the ropes and his attacker but he is losing the battle.And after a few minutes he breathes his last breath.
Emily holds on to the killer and watches as his eyes glaze over.She smiles to herself she is happy now.So she lets go and slowly sinks to the bottom.
Now she and her father are together once again.
In the house where Emil’s father was killed a lonely widow sits weeping.
Because of her spite she has lost her daughter.
She has lost everything.
THE END
