When a business dealer does not pay what he owes, the business comes to a stop.
Welcome to the Northern European mind games from the depths of hell in business he was travelling.
The bodyguard escorted him home from Sweden.
The business dealer, he was a very poor reputation company director.
He was looking for a very serious security. When he abused a woman and child, he knew the death threats he had were not threats of compiled letters.
The escort to Klaipeda was on a route through Latvia in a rental car to cross the borders to his mansion of sedition and abuse of power to a poor family.
His driver felt worn off from a long journey home, and it was late night they drove past near Nemirseta forest of the NATO Military facility.
When in the back, they broke their headlight.
The vehicles came to a halt exchanging their insurance details, and the business dealer stepped out with his bodyguard.
He squeezed his eyebrows, thinking those fools can escape without paying double to waste his time on a cold late night.
"This will cost you a lot more and you know it".
The first slug made its way in a bad business dealer's face leaves him to die.
Another gun fire round makes its way to bodyguard's chest. With a hole in his body, he takes a chance for his life in the forest.
Our gunman with his six-shooter let his breath out.
"Why you always have to get the right thing before the righteousness gets undone?"
He drove off, and it was never his intent to kill besides the target. He took money and pride to see laying a corpse waste before his eyes.

A little later, two school children are meeting their senior school friend in the cafe opposite the school.
He is now a fresh recruit to Lithuanian police officers.
His name is Simon Says.
He was a well-known rascal of the school. His graduating changed his views and to be the respectful guy in the ministry of justice.
Lord Ignacius and Magnum Mage who are young and open-minded schoolboys are now thrilled to meet their friend that led them through their junior years in their school.
"I know you just joined the police, but did you hear about the homicide? It took place last week, about a few kilometres away from our town."
"We have plenty of rumours, but nothing confirmed yet."
Magnum Mage stirs his tea and takes a sharp look, not taking his gaze off Simon Says sitting in uniform looking at two highschool friends.
"We will see what death will bring."

The days have gone and years followed within the days to once more for three friends to meet, but far from where they have grown up.
Downtown Osaka is full of bars and cafes overcrowded with a huge number of tourists from all over the world.
It is usual Simon Says has a bit of coffee and with relief of his breath thinking about his friends he speaks.
"If I would not have to run my mouth so far. I would not have to travel so far from home but I am happy to meet all of you again."
Mage leaning on his right arm places three fingers to his cheek bones to think more of Simon.
"I was always interested in other cultures. I never knew I would explore such an amazing culture with my friends. This is a double bonus."
Ignacius lifts his lips to smile and brushes his long beard before he replies.
"I am not that thrilled working here. I am a noodle chef but I was way happy to gain qualification after such failed school exams. You know guys from my experience, such a country we are in pays a lot more but at the end of the day I am left with a bowl of noodles on my table."
"We were a grand country before the Soviet war criminals. They ruined our economy with their military occupation and threatened everyone with their death camps."
Magnum Mage thought out loud from their school history books theory lessons they thought they knew.
"Simon, how is your life after getting caught for taking bribes and in police prison?"
Simon replies he is working for a private security agency that is built of a failed policeman like him.
"I enjoy once again providing safety to people and placing handcuffs on the wicked ones."
"I am just working in the farmhouse of my uncle. I cannot see any future besides this work."
Magnum Mage was not sympathetic answering his question and did not make eye contact just had another drink from his matcha bowl.
^.^
Our three friends walked to the district of the bars in Osaka.
When they thought they had enough drinks.
Ignacius' mobile phone flashes with a message from an unknown number.
The text message was written he has to reply yes or no for an offer of thirty millions of US dollars for a contract.
he replies yes.
Ignacius says looks to his drunk friends,
"I think you cannot believe it, but I said yes to an offer of ten million dollars from an unknown message."
"You are joking with me."
Simon pours another drink in his mouth.
Mage abstains from further comments. He is looking with them concern at concern.
When a second message appears in Ignacius' phone with instructions of how they should commit the hit to a local businessman.
Ignacius slams his drink to a table, spoiling his clothes with alcohol, finding it hard to speak out loud himself, keeping it long what he waited to speak long ago.
"Fock it I am going for it even to see if it is a joke because I dislike how locals treat me."
Simon cannot control his joy from a joke he thought to be in and found himself amused about his friends together and he felt a revolt he did in school.
"As a former policeman I advise you against your wishes."
Three friends take a walk out onto the narrow footpath leading from Osaka Castle hill holding onto each other.
Elodie took a deep breath and knocked, the sound echoing in the quiet corridor. A moment of silence passed, broken only by the pounding of her heart. Finally, the door snicked open, revealing a surprised Dashiell. 'Can't you see the Do Not Disturb sign? We don't want-' His initial frown quickly morphed into confusion at the sight of his wife. 'What are you doing here?' he demanded. 'Your girlfriend invited me,' Elodie replied, her voice laced with icy calm. She tried to peer past him, but his broad frame blocked the view. A saccharine voice chimed in from within the room. 'Elodie? Oh dear, we didn't mean for you to find out this way. It's just that-' Elodie cut her short. 'Oh please, Selene. Spare me the fake apologies. You wouldn't have sent me all those texts if you didn't want me to know.' Dashiell shifted uncomfortably, his face a mask of annoyance. 'What texts?' Elodie stepped past him, taking in the luxurious suite with a sardonic smile. The king-sized bed, the scattered rose petals, the lingering scent of sex – it all painted a vivid picture of their betrayal. She looked up at Dashiell, her gaze unwavering. 'I want a divorce.' ****** Dashiell lived a life of luxury, surrounded by the best things money could buy. But when a car accident left him vulnerable, he met Elodie, a seemingly ordinary woman who nursed him back to health. Mistaking her for just another employee, Dashiell entered into a loveless marriage with her solely for convenience. However, fate had a different script in store. Elodie, the 'ordinary nurse,' held a secret more precious than any diamond: she was the sole heiress to Northstar, a vast and powerful enterprise. Unaware of her true identity, Dashiell cast her aside when his ex-girlfriend returned, leaving Elodie humiliated. But Elodie was not one to be easily broken. She shed the facade of the meek nurse, reclaiming her rightful inheritance and stepping into the role of Northstar's CEO. Now, the woman Dashiell discarded was the one holding the reins of power. As Elodie thrives in her new role, Dashiell is consumed by regret. He finally sees Elodie for the extraordinary woman she truly is, realising the depth of his mistake. But will his remorse be enough to win back the heart he so carelessly discarded?
