[ IP ] You do what you got ta do

The strangest thing about today. The cigarette in my mouth. I just felt I needed it. Let me tell you it's good. If I make it out alive I guarantee you that I will be hooked. 
 
 I picked the pack off of the first man I killed today. I should say ever. I am the turn your cheek sort of guy, but you do what you got ta do, and I had to make sure he was dead before me. 
 
 Some reason I and my family were targeted. I have gotten to where I am just trying to find out why. I guess it does n't matter, the people behind this door are dead anyways. 
 
 First at work a man in a suit reached for a gun and I reacted. Under my desk a bullet flew over my head. A switch had been flipped I reached for my scissors, leapt over my desk, and stabbed the man. No clues on found on the man, I simply raced home to get to my family. 
 
 To many police cars raised my suspisions. I pulled down a street parallel to mine own, and used the neighbor's yard to sneak in. I carefully slid open the back door and krept forward stolen gun in hand. My wife and daughter sitting silently in the living room looking at a man who stood talking on his phone. A bullet to the back of his leg brought him to his knees and he crumpled as I brought the gun down hard on his head. His compatriot head the commotion and rounded the corner with a Tommy gun. His mistake was pausing a moment to take in the scene. I had not paused yet. I knew it was over, though. The third man had me in his sights and I knew I was done for. 
 
 My son-in-law saved my life right there and has my back now. Even though I risk making my daughter a widow I would have no one else watch it. Looking back it is no surprise how easily he got my blessing. 
 
 `` My name is Giles Hartman. Why are you after me?'' I ask the two surviving members of the poker game. The body guards had went down fast, and the two at the table stupid enough to reach for their guns fell soon after. The one who is the boss looked at the one with the badge. He open his mouth. `` You are n't Giles.'' 
 
 The two men soon followed the rest. I understood. I was simply the decoy to their real target. This man, the other `` Giles'' he set me up. 
 
 I hope this other man gets away. I do n't want to kill him, but he has proven to be a threat to my family, and there is no regret felt when you do what you got to do.
