[ WP ] With a faint hiss , the box slowly opened . Inside , the revolver gleamed in the soft moonlight .

I slowly reached in, the air inside the box felt colder; heavier than the air in the barn. The moon and the stars gave the night enough light to see the revolver. It looked brand new. I'd not be surprised if am the only one to ever use it. Such a waste. It will serve its ultimate purpose and get tossed with its ( my ) victim when I'm done. Im just glad I get a gun and get to shoot the next one. I do n't think could fight again today. Its been a strange day I still........ The Jest interrupted I could n't finish my thought process. 
 
 `` Have you ever shot one before?'' asked The Jest as I tested the grip. 
 
 `` Yes.'' I answered annoyed. 
 
 `` Not a gun dumbass. A woman.'' 
 
 `` No.'' I lied. 
 
 I always lied too quickly. The Jest could see it in my eyes. Although he did and said nothing about my dishonesty, he remembered the lie. At about 6 foot 2 he stood 5 inches taller than me. He had dark hair and a beard but they were graying and a small accumulation of fat on an otherwise perfect physic. He was in his mid 30's but no doubt stress made him look older. The Jest was a confident man. He believed in what saw, he saw what he knew, and he knew what be believed. With never a second guess he held his composure in his failures and his success. His work ethic and attention to detail is unparalleled, and it is what made him number 2. If he was n't who he is I may have idolized or respected him but maybe in another life. 
 
 `` You will soon enough.'' The Jest continued, `` Chauncey bring the girl.'The Dragon' got his second assignment.'' The Jest said as he shot me a wink. Now addressing me directly he said, 
 `` Posh, Im sorry your first day has to be so ugly. I wish we could have got ice cream and catch a ball game but baby girl picked the wrong day for a date at Cheesecake and we have our orders.'' The Jest was so unapologetic and smooth he really was intriguing. Almost made me forget that we were talking about murder. `` My orders are to make you follow yours and yours are'Matty and Jhileeah'. Matty is done. And now Jhileeah for your final test of the day and I know'The Dragon' would never question an order would you?'' He said mockingly; making me pay for lying to him earlier. 
 Trying to move the conversation I said 
 `` I hate being called that.'The Dragon.' You speak as if you know me.'' 
 
 `` I do young dragon.'' 
 
 `` How is that? We have only met today. Obviously I hear stories of'The Jest' but how have you come to know me?'' 
 
 `` Your reputation is...'' he stopped and thought, and did n't finish. 
 
 His attention moved from me to Chauncey and the crying girl. My attention was on him still and the unanswered question. I have been so careful he could n't actually know. Or could he? My time to think was over because the bawling and pleading grew louder as Jhileeah came closer. Chauncey moved slowly but eventually was before me with the girl I was ordered to kill. She was familiar. Tall and beautiful despite her smeared makeup, ripped clothing, and riding in the trunk of the car for an hour. She had long black hair straightened but messy. She was in a very nice dark blue dress with no shoes. She had heels with her at some point but that is the least of her worries. And I am all of them. 
 She was still crying and that never changed she knew It was going to be me. 
 
 `` Kneel right here. Your charge is Adultery. What do you plead?'' Asked Chauncey coldly. I'd bet regardless of the answer nobody who he has asked that question to has survived. 
 
 Between the screaming, shaking, and sobbing, Jhileaah finally started to sputter out words. 
 
 `` Please please....*sniff*..... we.... we were n't together anymore....... I had n't seen HIM for over a month....... please you have to believe me....... HE ended things with me........ HE said I was too tall and I would have better luck at uconn......... please HE broke up with me!!.....*sniff*......... HE was so angry when HE saw me with Matty........ I thought HE didnt care about me anymore.'' 
 
 She was definitely on a date. Thats why HE was so mad I knew she looked familiar. I have seen her before. And now that explains Matty. 
 
 `` What do you plead?'' Chauncey asked louder. 
 
 `` Can you just let me talk to HIM........... please if HE was mad that I was n't with HIM let me be with HIM!!! 
 I love HIM more than anything I dont even care what HE does to Matty just let me love HIM please....... its all anybody could want....... I just want to love HIM'' 
 
 `` Answer me!!'' Did you fuck Matty or not?'' 
 
 `` Yes but......'' 
 
 `` Ok in you go.'' He said pointing to the poorly dug hole in the ground. Chauncey, despite being the largest and strongest man I have ever seen, struggles with any work not involving making people do what he wants. The hole was barley big enough. 
 
 `` Please if HE wants to kill me that means HE cares! Just let me talk to HIM. HE can kill Matty if HE wants I dont care! I dont need Matty I just need HIM!!'' 
 
 `` Good thing you dont need that poor boy. The young dragon here almost tore his head clean off. You see Matty was Posh's first assignment, and in our line of work your first assignment is crucial for advancement opportunities. I gained respect for your boyfriend though. He had some clankers to stand in there with Posh for that long. I think Matty almost hit you right?'' The Jest asked condescendingly looking at me, it was rhetorical `` But no enemy of The Dragon lasts very long. And Matty was no different. Posh caved in your boyfriends skull with his bare hands. He'll never see the light of day again.'' 
 
 `` But I dont have to die! Please! I wont ever tell anyone about Matty! I love your boss and I know HE loved me too and I know HE will again. Just let me talk to HIM....... I'll do anything! PLEASE ANYTHING!'' 
 
 `` Anything?'' I asked. 
 
 The Jest's gaze turned from the Jhileeah to me and was like lasers cutting through me. He stared very intently and listened close on where I was going in what I was about to say. 
 
 `` YES ANYTHING!!'' Jhileeah screamed `` I will do anything if you let me talk to HIM just get HIM on the phone and I promise I ca...........'' 
 
 She stopped talking as soon as I pulled the trigger. 
 
 `` Damn dragon!! That was cold! You didnt even let her finish! She was all like'please let me talk to' and you were like'BLAM' haha you are one heartless bastard. Good work today Dragon BOSS will love this story. Dont feel bad JJ was a bitch. What the fuck are you waiting for Chauncey? Bury the bitch. Lets get some ice cream.'' 
 
 I did what I had to do. Thats what I tell myself. 
 
 
 Edit: some spelling. Probably more I missed.
