It was a dark and cloudy night. The time was about midnight and the streets of the city were basically empty. It was silent, for all the good boys and girls were asleep, while the bad men where out on the streets. A younger man, around age 20, was running down the street as three males in suits chased after him. The younger man run down into a side street and climbed the 5 foot fence in the center. As he landed on the other side, he ran, while looking back at the fence to watch the guards. He was nearing the end of the side-street, when two more men in suits turned the corner and grabbed him by his arms. They forced him into their limo and drove off after they got in themselves. The man looked the suited men in fear, and suddenly said “Look, I just need some more time for the money! I prom-” he was cut off by the one of the guards. “Is your name John Smith?” the guard asked. John sighed and replied “Yes it is.” The guards looked at some paper, and then one looked up and said “over 2,000,000.00 dollars? Why the hell would you borrow that much from the mob without a way to pay it back?” John sulked when he heard the dreaded number, and replied “I needed to pay for my wedding; this was the only way to get the money quickly!”

The car came to a stop, and the men blindfolded John, while escorting him out of the car. “Where are we going?” John asked confused. “We are going to see Mr. Cash Senor” said the guard. John’s heart almost stopped. You see, Mr. Cash Senor was the local Mob boss, but more importantly, He was John’s wife’s father. Mr. Cash had disowned his daughter for marring a man who was not part of the mob, but respected her enough to not take a bounty out on John’s life. John knew Mr. Cash was in good with the mob, but he had no idea he would ever get his attention for a late bill. John heard a door open and was forced done on a chair. Then, suddenly, a deep voice spoke, “Hello Mr. Smith.” It was Mr. Cash Senor. “I hear you’re in a bit of a snag with your bill.” John knew he had to say something quick, before this conversation went down hill. “Mr. Cash, I will get yo-” he was interrupted again, but this time it was a violent hit to the face. “Listen to me, my son-in-law. Out of respect for my lovely daughter, I’ve decided to go easy on you and ask for a quick death. I should get the call any minute now. It will be painless and then I will have my daughter back from a moron like you.” Cash said cruelly. After a minute of the guards kicking John, for their own entertainment, the phone rang. “Hello” Mr. Cash said, John assuming he walked over to pick up the phone. “Oh, its you again. I’m waiting for a call, so I don’t need to-” it sounded like he was cut off, but John was still blind-folded and could only hear him talking, in a low voice, to who ever were on the phone. He heard various parts of the conversation:

“Look, Can’t we figure out another payment plan”

“Ridiculous! We didn’t know it was her pet!”

“How about a trade? Like the old eye-for-an-eye deal?”

“About 5’9” and around 130-140 pounds.”

“Really? Alright, give me the details and its done.”

John heard the sound of a phone hanging up and the laughing of a man, most likely Mr. Cash. “Pick him up, clean off the blood and drive him to this location,” Mr. Cash said. John was shocked and spoke up “What.. what is going on?” “We have decided we need you to run an error for us John. Don’t worry, nothing lethal or illegal. When my men drop you at one of the mob’s rental buildings, they will give you a package. 2 Days from today, you are to wear what is inside of the package and wait outside of the building at 8 O’ clock sharp. Someone will pick you up to take care of the deal. If you try to run, we will kill you. If you give them any trouble, they will kill you. I suggest you be good and follow the orders. Do we have a deal?” said Mr. Cash to John. It sounded like a miracle, so John quickly said yes.
The Guards picked John up and put him back in a car. After driving around for an hour, they stopped and took the blindfold off of John. “Here is your package, do you remember the instructions and understand them, Mr. Smith?” said one of the guards. John took the package and said “yes” to the guards. He then left the car and walked inside of the small building. He had no idea where he was, but he sat down on the sofa and was curious of the package, so he opened it. “What the heck!?!” said John as he looked at the items in the package. The first piece was male boxers, which were red with small pink hearts all over them, while the other piece was a full-body, black robe. John didn’t understand what he was going to do, but he was very curious at this point.
