This was one of the most important forgeries, and he had to get the job done on time before the godfather caught his attention because that would end in a very bad way, they would surely kill him in the best of cases he would be tortured.
So he took the inks and got to work on it, the logo was very complicated, that had millimeter watermarks, but even at 72 years old he managed to do it perfectly. And suddenly there was a knock on the door with the secret key, 3 short knocks followed by 3 quick knocks.
Wasting no time he opened it, to be surprised that he had a pistol pointed at his face. It was a 45 colt, all gold with a bird on the handle.
The hallmark of the city's most important hitman: Eagle
Don't say anything, step aside and let me pass - he shouts while spitting a piece of tobacco in a corner -
The man stepped aside to let in the figure in a fedora and dressed all in black, who quickly moved to sit on the stool next to the drawing table where the fakes were made.
I need you to give me that check to betray the Godfather -he said-
The forger's hands began to shake, and he began to sweat cold, he had to make a decision immediately, but his mind was drowned with many questions: how did Eagle get here? Why was he going to betray the godfather? I work for him?, If I give him the check, will he let me live?
All those unknowns he did not know if they were going to have an answer, and the next few minutes would be crucial for it.
But it is something that will not be cleared in this post because we must give time for our writer to decide to do it in the next publication! :)
This is part of an initiative that I began to launch today, to write a chain of micro-stories trying to be linked to each other, chosen with a random theme daily and preferably make sense, although this will not always be the case.
I will try to make things congruent, but I want to tell you that this will be a very titanic job.
I will often end each story, and I will ask you to suggest a name for it.
Do you like this initiative?
Loved it! It is nice reading some short stories and this one kept me excited while reading. Give us more @MicroReylatos.
