“Yeah, just about” answered the taxi owner. Ben had no money on him anymore so he no way of getting home, he thought about it for a minute and then decided he had come to this place for a reason and that was to find out what was going on inside. Ben walked to the front door, he gently pushed it open, and it creaked slightly, so Ben left it open. It was pitch black inside, Ben slowly moved towards a light source he could see in the distance. Ben was being extra careful not to make any noise. He didn’t want anyone to know he was in there. As Ben got closer to the light he heard voices get louder, he knew something was happening in there, he finally got to the light and saw that it was another door. He peeked through a gap and saw men and women around a table, they were discussing something but he could not hear properly. He looked at the people around the table. They had no idea that he was there. There were quite old people and young people. They were of mixed races and looked to be of mixed classes. Then Ben heard something, he knew that voice, and he heard it everyday. It was his mum. What was she doing in a place like this? Ben kept watching. The people were getting louder and started shouting at each other, Ben knew they were getting annoyed by the subject, until suddenly the back door swung open and a man jumped in and started shooting everyone, Ben was terrified. He didn’t want his mum to die, he tried to open the door to save her, but it was locked there was nothing he could do. Ben looked back through the gap in the door and saw his mum was still alive and was talking to the man who shot everyone. Ben was horrified, his mum knew this man. Ben looked at the floor, there were blood and dead bodies everywhere, but there was one man on the floor, he seemed to still be alive, bens mum saw this man and pulled out a gun, she aimed it at his head, the man was screaming mercy, he was helpless, totally defenceless, his mums finger slowly pulled back on the trigger and bang, the guy was dead on the floor with a bullet through his head. Ben slowly looked at his mum, his mum still had no idea Ben was witnessing all of this. Ben saw his mum was covered in other people’s blood, Ben felt sick. He slowly stumbled out the room he had came through to the front of the warehouse, the door was still open, he walked out and found himself throwing up. Ben was in a state and was crying gently. Ben started walking.
The time was 19:00; Ben was standing outside his house. He was tired, covered in his own sick and was still gently crying. He unlocked his front door and walked in. his mum was in the kitchen. “Where have you been Ben, I have been so worried” his mum said. Ben walked in to the kitchen and his mum looked at him, “What happened to you, what have you been doing?” asked his mum. Bens mum walked over to him to see what happened to him, she went to hug him and Ben jumped backwards, he looked at her with pure hatred in his eyes. He ran up the stairs to his room. He locked the door behind him. Ben changed his clothes and laid on his bed thinking to himself. Ben couldn’t accept that his mum would do a thing like that. Why would she do that? She hates fighting and blood. This was totally out of character for her. Ben finally came to the decision that it wasn’t his mum he saw it was someone who looked and sounded like her. He went downstairs, his mum was at the table, eating her dinner, and she started talking to Ben. Ben could hear her voice and did not want to accept it was his mum talking. He looked away from his mum and saw the washing machine. He looked in it, he saw the clothes she was wearing earlier, and he saw, blood, all over the washing machine. Ben knew it was his mum, he slowly walked over to the drawers, put his hand in, pulled out the biggest knife, and walked calmly to his mum, he pulled his arm back. His mum suddenly jumped back and pulled out her gun. Ben dropped his knife, put his hands in the air and started crying more than ever. His mum dropped her gun, Ben sat at the table, his mum came over and sat next to him, they started talking, and his mum explained everything to him. It turned she was a paid assassin. It was her job to kill people and be paid for it. The other man was her killer partner. She had had this job all her life, she kept it a secret from Ben all his life, and they talked about it for hours.
The time was now midnight. Ben and his mum were still talking, until suddenly the front door was banged down, about five police offices jumped in, bens mum grabbed to guns she had on her, she rolled sideways and shot 5 bullets killing four policemen. The other one was on the ground and was wounded badly, Ben picked up his mums gun, which she had dropped earlier, aimed it at the policeman’s head and pulled the trigger. He killed him. Ben heard his mum say, “there’s a job coming up in Rio, will you help me”.
Ben thought for a second and then said, “of course mum, I would love to”.
