this morning #1537.
this morning, for some reason, i hadn’t been at all worried about what lie ahead. too much confidence in what we’d just accomplished, i suppose. as i drove to pickup the payout, i called my client. for once, his voice was strong. held the same optimism as mine. i’d be lying if i said that i wasn’t surprised at how things have gone down. we’ve been working with these guys for a while now. in that time, from what i’ve seen them do to others they’ve been in business with, violence is always an option. how did we get off so easy? this final thought only crossed my mind as i walked into what turned out to be an ambush. didn’t have time for another thought before the first shot hit me. turns out there is a bright light when you die.
