Prologue
DANCING WITH THE DEVIL
______________________________________________________________________
Prologue: - Journey's End
Marcus had been running for quite a while now, he was on the run from a well managed part of the mob and the police as most of them were on their payroll. It was about 5 in the morning and the sun was just rising over the Californian horizon.
Marcus wasn't willing to get caught, he knew he'd be dead if they caught him. After all, you don't witness a mob killing and get to walk away.
It was three days later and it still felt like five seconds ago:
BANG! The sound of the pistol echoed down the alley, Marcus saw the woman fall to the floor, she saw him and extended her hand out asking for help. The other hand Marcus saw was half covering a gaping hole in her stomach with glistening red blood gushing out like a waterfall and flowing quickly down her side. The mob guys had also seen him and started shooting in his direction.
Marcus ran as fast as he could away from there, and gone looking for cops figuring they were the only safe place to go. But, Marcus never got the chance to ask for help, the cop behind the desk was one of the 'wise guys' from the alley. Marcus knew he couldn't go in to the station, and he couldn't be sure if any other cops were in on it to.
As Marcus reached some cliffs he started to think about what he'd done with his life. Sure he'd raised children and had a happy marriage, but he hadn't done an awful lot else. Marcus knew however that his life would soon be coming to an end.
There was a screech of tyres behind him, he spun around to see what it was and saw two black cars spinning around the corner. The cars stopped and four men got out and started towards him. Marcus turned back to the cliff's edge, took in the glorious view and jumped.
The last thought before he hit the rocks below was of a child he hadn't seen in years, his sister's child. A young boy with golden skin.
