Chapter 2

PRESENT DAY.

A loud yawn escaped his lips as the scorching ray of the sun greeted his face, he writhe to and fro on the hard bed which he found himself. A growl crept out of his lips as he looked like one who didn't want to wake just yet but sleep forever.

"Another day, another scene Adrian" he recited to himself like though reading a script and jolted out from the bed. He had a weary look and it seems like that face was a part of him now.

Nevertheless, his looks was something every girl was allured to, he was handsome, well built and fit for a runway model.

His doorbell rang and his feet hurried up to get it, however it was a parcel that was dropped at his door, the person who delivered it was gone as a flash. This young lad swallowed hard peeped to and fro while collecting the parcel from the ground.

On the top of this box had a description that was written "tonight"

A brow curve at the box and then suddenly he widened his eyes, and dashed back into his room. Rushed towards his closet and began rampaging the whole place.

Adrian was packing all out of the blue, while cussing in fright, the terror in his face gave a lucid explanation that havoc was about to wretch him if he doesn't leave this place.

Meanwhile, outside his house, two thugs had crept in having been cautious of the environment not to attract unnecessary attention. Besides, this place was more like an isolated building. They had weapons on their coats, while their eyes peered at every door of this building, searching for the one person who made them venture here.

Adrian shuddered when he had a loud bang on his door, it seems the lines he recited earlier was coming into fruition, he let out a pant, treaded quickly to his window with a bag behind his back.

He wasn't even in a hurry to escape as he waited for these men to bash in, of course, no one had to tell them to burst inside since they were thugs.

"There he is!" The first roared bringing out an axe and Adrian suddenly shrugged his shoulders, his last words would have given them hint that the silent ones could be devils.

"I warned you, meet your fate"

Those were the lines and he flew down the window! These men hurried to see for themselves if he committed suicide but right before their eyes, the room began to flare up with smoke.

"Damn it, he trapped us!" The second groaned and intended to jump out of the building but the worst before them because this particular room got blasted.

***

He was exhausted from running and needed oxygen, quickly, his shaking hands reached for the bag he had, so as to get an inhaler.

One thing he hated was being an asthmatic patient especially with this kind of lifestyle of always racing away. He was never settled and that was one question begging for answer of who truly this Adrian could be? Mostly the fact that thugs always attacks him after every delivery or before a delivery.

His eyes trailed along the road as he could hear sirens blasting towards this blown off apartment, he let out a sided smile, glanced at the direction and began another haunt for an apartment, conducive for him. He knew those cops were going to look into the case of the fire accident, but that shouldn't bother him since it was his fault!

"Tonight" he muttered the word written on the parcel. He was a delivery boy who delivered special packages, but one would wonder what kind of special delivery?

Those curious gaze of his rest on his watch, he was mindful of the time spent at this spot which he stood in wait for someone who he had been informed, was coming over.

A sienna car drove and haul by the road side, its tinted glass rolled down and an old man beckoned on him to come over. The man was in a hast with the way he acted.

The young lad scrutinized where he stood to and fro, glanced at the man and then pull out a picture from his bag if perhaps there was a similarity between them.

Instantly, when he confirmed that, he tore the picture into shreds which startled the man that he mused over this rude boy opposite him.

"You're Adrian right, boy in black?" The man called with a curious gaze at the young man, who he was already doubting would be capable of the job.

He wondered why this juvenile was called boy in black because it wasn't just the outfit which he wore, but there might be a darkside attached to him which this man wasn't ready to uncover, he just needed the job to be done.

Adrian paced towards him with a stern look, not even replying to the question this middle age man asked rather he said rhetorically;

"You're Jake right?"

The man scoffed and nodded while gesturing to Adrian to get inside which he did and they both rode away.
