As I studied the details of the knife, I couldn't help the thoughts that kept flooding my mind.

Was it really him?

After more than a year?

It can't be, my son's dead.

I tried to tell myself  but the evidence proving otherwise was overwhelming. I leaned into my chair and closed my eyes to relieve my pounding head... Then my phone rang.

"Oh lord" I said to myself before answering "Yes?!" I answered a little too harshly "I hear you have a problem..." the person with an unmistakeable female voice said.

"Its me, you messed up" she said bluntly "Look, I tried to warn my boss that Vlad's people would attack the island but he didn't listen, how's that my fault?" I retorted.

"I told you everything and you still couldn't stop them" she said again "They are very good I have to give them that" I sighed.

"Vladimir's planning something big... We have to talk" she said "Where can I meet you?" I asked "Now..." she said and ended the call.

A few seconds later I got a text, telling me where I would meet my anonymous source.

Damien

Today went by very fast... We watched a few movies, ordered pizza and then planned the job. And right now, I'm at the gym with Tyler  "One- ninety eight... One- ninety nine... Two- hundred" I said and dropped the gigantic dumbbell. I turned to Tyler who was on the bench press.

"One-seventy one... One-seventy two... One hundred and seventy three..." He groaned and lifted the weight "You don't have to do it bro... You could still give up, there's no shame in giving up"

"Shut up!" He said "one-seventy eight ... One-seventy nine... One- eighty" he said and placed the weight back "Ah, fuck it"

"I won! You owe  me five hundred bucks" I said and started walking out of the gym "Yeah, whatever" he pouted and rolled his eyes.

I went to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water, I turned around and my eyes landed on the clock hanging on the wall.

7:30pm

I sighed and walked back to my room, took off my clothes and walked into the bathroom with my towel around my waist, I looked around and I didn't see Kimberly anywhere.

After I was done, I put on a blue short and a white tee shirt. I was about to walk out of the room when I heard a phone ringing and it wasn't mine or Kimberley's.

The burner!

I immediately crashed to my knees and grabbed it from under my bed frame. I answered but didn't say anything.

"Wolf? It's Howard. We got a problem" he said, I was kinda relieved it was Howard, for some reason I had this idea that the guy I stole this phone from was a gangster and since then I had been sleeping with my knife by my side "What kind of problem?" I asked and sat on the floor with my back resting on the bed.

"Your mother found your father's knife!" He screamed. I knew something like this would happen but I couldn't pull the knife out of her leg or she would've died "Oh, yeah. I expected that" I said dryly "She think you're alive!"

"I am alive!" I retorted "You know what I mean! Why did you leave it there?" He asked and I sighed "I couldn't let that agent bleed out, I missed an artery by inches and if I pulled the knife back out I would've cut it and she'd be dead by now and that would've been on me!"

I heard him breathing heavily before he answered "I do not give a shit about your conscience, cause it might get you killed one day!" He shouted through the phone.

"Okay, Is that why you called?" I asked "No, the boss wants to see you" he said and in rolled my eyes "Of course he does... When?"

"We'll be in new york tomorrow, I'll text you where" New York? Why the hell would he be In New York? "Fine" I said and ended the call.

After the call, I didn't really feel like stepping out of the room anymore so I just climbed up to my bed and laid there.

A few minutes later kimberely walked in with a big grin on her face "I saw my mom today" she said and sat beside me.

"How is she?" I asked and turned my head to look at her "She's really good and she misses me a lot" She took off her boots and flung them somewhere in the room.

"What did she say?"

"Oh, the usual. You know I love you no matter what, don't forget it, I'll always be with you, stuffs like that" she said and took off her brown leather jacket.

"And you're not worried?" I asked "Why would I be?" Her eye brows furrowed "That's what I would say if I was about to die or something"

"Or... She just misses me that much" she leaned in and was about to kiss me when I felt my phone vibrate "Sorry"

"Yes?" I answered "Hey, Damien?" The person said "Who is this?"

"Melisa... You know, your girlfriends mom?" Melisa chuckled "Oh, hey Mom!" I said into a wide grin causing her to laugh.

"How are you?"

"I'm okay. You?" I answered "I'm okay... I need to ask you for a favor"

"Sure... Anything" I answered "I need you to keep your promise... Take care of her for me" she said lowly "Should I be worried?" I asked and sat up.

Kim had a worried expression on her face, I guess its because of the one on mine "Keep your promise" she said sternly "I will. I swear"

"Good, take care" she said and then I was left with the dial tone.

What the fucking hell is going on?!

The book is finally reaching its end.
