Chapter 5

Haddix sat in his leather recliner as he fiddled with his laser pointer, pondering how he could allow such a failure to occur. He realized that without him, his whole plan was in jeopardy.  He turned his chair around to face his expensive African Blackwood desk.  

Across the desk was a man in a black suit.  His eyes were shielded by his aviator shades. He seemed to have a lot on his mind; only mustering enough focus to stay attentive.

Haddix began,”Rumor has it that you have a lot of experience in your field.  Am I not mistaken?”

The man responded,”Yes. I can do what you want, if you are willing to pay up...”  He had a slight British accent, which ironically, added to his shady persona.

“Deal.  Whatever you want.  I just want him alive.  Not dead- ALIVE.  Do I make myself clear?”

He grinned and nodded.  The man stood up and walked towards the door.

“Wait! How should I refer to you?”

“Scar,” he said plainly.  He opened the door and walked through the threshold,  loading his handgun.
