The car stops to a halt. I look up and see we are entering a parking garage. The parking garage was beside this old brick building. Seems to have been remodeled a couple of times.

Andrew slowly drives down the slope turning towards where the other parked cars are.

"We are here so grab your things" Andrew says as he puts the car in reverse and turns off the engine. I nod and exited the car. I grab joe and our things. Andrew is watching me as I sling my bags over my shoulder and pick up Joe placing her onto my hip. Once I got everything in hand he shuts the door locking it. We walk towards the elevator. Finally stepping foot inside I nervously say "what floor" Andrew ignores me and presses the 12th floor. The elevator doors slowly shuts.

As we reach the top floor the elevator doors open revealing a barely lit up narrowed hallway in view. A door engraved with the initials S.S. Andrew opens the door. I see a man his back is facing towards me. I glance at Andrew unsure and walks in cautiously.

"Welcome Charlie" the man says. Maybe 20 years or even a little bit older turns around with a blade in hand twirling it around in the air.

"Names Nick," he says reaching over to me.

I grab his hand awkwardly trying to juggle Joe and my bags.

"Alright good, so Charlie today you will begin your contract. You'll start your training under Andrew here." He nods over at him.

"Training?" I burst out confused.

"Yes, to become a Hitman, you need to undergo some type of training rookie."

Lost in my thought's I bring up my parent's and the deal that was made questioning what was it about.

"Did my parents really owe money?, How did this happen?, Why was I involved?"

"Your parents? Yes they owed us money.  It was unreasonably a lot of it."

Now that explains it. All that splurging they did.

"Let's see...we gave them two choices.  They unfortunately choose to save them selves and sacrifice you. They took the selfish route. I'm sorry dear but you were sold to us"

"What about my daughter? Is she a part of this too? She needs me. I can't just leave her." I say.

"Don't worry she's not going anywhere. Nothing will interfere with your daughter. Now come on Andrew get to it."
