Boss from another world

"Yeah we bump the kid off tomorrow 08:00 hours" another man replied his black hat hiding his face from the streetlight.

"Fuck me why not do it later in the school" the smoking man grumbled.

"You know why all the big cheeses have a deal so none of their little darlings will get hurt during their education." The man in the hat sighed "so it means we have to wake up earlier" the man smiled to the other. as he started to walk away. He said "bring the Tommy's info says security will be light but I don't trust that shit"

The other man stood in the light taking a final puff of his cigarette "what I do for money" he muttered as he put the cigarette out underneath his foot crushing it into the pavement.

Dante was rudely awakened by someone pushing him and calling out his name "what is it!" he shouted in a confused manner as he rubbed sleep from his eyes.

"Time to get ready for school punk" A male voice said in glee as he watched the confused Dante with his new short hair cut flail around in confusion his now visable eyes growing with alertness.

"Dad!?" Dante said in astonishment at the man casually standing their with one hand in his pocket looking like he was here against his will."Mum sent you didn't she since you said you busy at work" Dante said with narrowed eyes.

"Yeah, well you will learn later in life that men create plans and gods and women destroy them so, surprise" Ferdinand said with a smile on his face as he stared at Dante "well enough laying around, get ready" he pestered as Dante got out of bed.

"What do I wear?" He asked as he was just about to grab yesterday's jeans.

"Ah almost forgot I was also sent here to give you this" Ferdinand said as he handed him a packet.

"I have to wear a suit?" Dante said skeptically as he took the packet from Ferdinand .

"Yeah sorry school policy" Ferdinand shrugged as he turned around "well I'll be going now come find me if you need anything or just tell Galahad"

"What a work obsessed guy" Dante muttered as he opened the package to find a black suit with a crisp white shit. "fuck me, looks like they want to dress me for my own funeral all that is missing are the flowers and a coffin" he laughed as he put the suit on he looked in the mirror at the small feeble looking child in a tailor made suit. His short but still messy looking hair made him look like he was awake for the last two days coupled with his almost dead looking eyes."still just skin and bones in this life as well" he sighed as he looked at his stick like arms as he tried to tie his tie time and again "Damn this fuming tie" he cursed as he threw it to the floor. "Guess I'll just not wear it" he thought as he undid the top two buttons. He then proceeded to walk out of the room.

"So where is the school?" Dante asked as he climbed into the back seat of the shiny black car the comfy leather seat almost made him fall asleep again.

"Anvil avenue" Galahad replied as he started the car and drove down the peaceful looking street the squat houses lined neatly side by side basking in the glow of the morning sun.

"What time does school finish" he yawned as he stared sleepily at the window.

"Around 3:15" Galahad said as he stopped at the traffic light waiting for it to turn green.

"Oh did Micheal leave early"Dante asked since he forgot to say earlier

"Of course he did with the amount of time it took you to get ready" Galahad said irritated

"I wonder what awaits me there" Dante thought as he counted cars that drove by blatantly ignoring the seething driver.

"Cars finally coming" a man with a hat said to a man with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Finally, are you sure the info is correct and that it's a son not a fucking daughter" the man laughed as he put out his cigarette.

"Who knows" the man in the hat said as he walked to the table in the middle of the dimly lit room. He then started to stroke the gun that was nearest to him "wish we could bring these on every job"

"You know we can't they can be a pain to carry around" the other man replied as he picked his gun up and loaded the round drum in "so to go over the plan again we drive to the opposite street wait then get out and shoot if we miss with the Tommy's then go with the pistol just make sure they are dead"

"Exactly" The man in the hat confirmed as he loaded his gun as well "cars in the front he said as he walked out of the room.

"What a pain in the ass" the man left in the room sighed as he lit up another cigarette.

"We are here" Galahad said to the bored looking Dante as he stopped the car and got out to open Dante's door but as he did he saw the glint of metal underneath the overcoats of two men on the other side of the road.with caution he proceeded as he normally would but he kept an eye on the two men one was wearing a hat looked slim and shady like a man who wanted to con you. Whilst the other looked like a body builder bald and was smoking a cigarette.

Dante stepped out of the car the chillly morning breeze awoke him from his sleepiness as he got out of the car he saw Galahad glance at the two men in overcoats. As he looked at them he noticed their hands move inside their overcoats and all he could think was "they have fucking Tommy guns here!?" Before he was pushed to the ground and the roar of gunfire resounded in his ears.

The man in the hat laughed as he kept his finger on the trigger trying to keep the gun under control from the recoil. "Damn what's wrong with you you trigger happy bastard" the bald man muttered as he fired along with his partner.

"This is so refreshing and calming for the soul don't you think?" The man in the hat shouted to be heard over the din of their weapons. He slowly breathed in the gunsmoked air as if it was a drug. "This is what it means to be alive" he thought as his adrenaline pumped through his body making him feel he could take on the world.

"I'm out" the bald man said as he fired his last round placing the tommy gun back in the car and pulling out his pistol.

"Me to" the man in the hat replied in disappointment as he put the gun he loved so dearly inside the car and drew his pistol.

Galahad was worried "when did the Rosetta family become so ballsy to actually put a hit on the bosses son" he thought as glass shards and shrapnel rained down on his back as he used himself as a shield to protect the now trembling Dante. "Think this is the first time I've seen him act his age" Galahad thought with an ironic smile.

Dante was scared. No to be more accurate terrified. Scared shitless. His mind went blank he couldn't even feel Galahad protecting him. He couldn't register his own irregular breathes as all he could hear was an orchestra of death and his instincts screaming for him to run. At last the roars stopped and silence could be heard.

Galahad slowly got up off Dante as he peeped his head too look through the holes of the ruined car as he saw two men walk forward with pistols in hand drawing out his own he prepared for death resolving himself for the sake of his friends son he crouched and started shooting.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang. Shots rang out of the now deserted street as three men engaged in a battle to the death.

"Fuck how many bullets can this guy take" the man in the hat cursed as he saw Galahad's bloody appearance he looked like a corpse that sprang from a grave.

"You go left I go right" the bald man shouted as he ran around the opposite side of the car

"Look at you being smart and leaving me with the bodyguard" the man in the hat smirked as he rushed towards Galahad hoping to distract him whilst his partner finished the job.

Bang. His left arm went numb. "Whew that was close" he thought as he returned fire at the man hiding behind the Swiss cheese of a car. Blood started pouring out of the wound but he didn't care he was high off adrenaline all he had in his mind was to kill the person in front of him.

Dante raised his head as he looked at the disheartening appearance of Galahad who looked like he just made a journey through hell. He then turned and saw a man with a gun coming from the right and he thought "a.m. I going to die here?" He then looked frantically at the hole ridden car and he spotted a gun in the drivers door "must be Galahad's spare" he thought as he scrambled to wards it flinching every time he heard a gun shot. He picked it up it was a regular looking pistol black with a wooden grip he grasped it in his small hands struggling to lift it. He then turned and looked at the bald man coming closer and lining up the heavy gun he fired.

Bang.

Pain was all he felt as he was blasted back by the recoil his head hitting the car as he fell over. Blood stained his face and shirt as he looked at the corpse in front of him.

"Inhale breathe breathe" he thought to himself as he trembled and fought the urge to through up "it's ok it's ok" he muttered in a chant like way trying to calm himself down he looked at Galahad who had also finished up tired battered and bloody.

Galahad finally managed to place a bullet in his opponents heart looking at the now dead man he shuffled forward and placed the mans hat on his face "rest in peace my daring opponent" he murmured in respect as he drags his battered body to the pale trembling retching Dante. Reaching out with a bloody hand he ruffled the child's hair and with much pain he grimaced and said "you did well" as he fell down onto the bloody pavement.

Dante turned when he heard a thump and looked and the collapsed Galahad "Galahad hey can you hear me" he shouted as he rushed to his side "no no no don't die on me we still have stuff to do" he cried as tears streamed down his face as he hopelessly tried to stop Galahad from bleeding. Sirens could be heard approaching but Dante was in a world of his own despair and helplessness as he stared at Galahad's blood stained face he barely registered the hand that picked him up.

"Galahad's gonna be fine"a rough voice said as the person dragged his unresponsive body into a new car that pulled up with an ambulance. All he could do was stare as doctors piled Galahad into an ambulance and rushed to hospital. The now blackening sky was preparing to weep just like Dante as he was rushed home. Tears rolling down his face.
