[WP] One specific hit-man is well-known for always killing his targets within a week. The only problem is that he doesn't really do anything. His targets always died of natural causes or accidents. What started out as a scam for easy money, turned him into a world famous killer.

"Okay, you've gotta listen to me. I don't know how or why it happens; it was just supposed to be a scam for money!"

I pleaded with the man sitting in the driver's seat before me, whose usually stoic face was now giving me an incredulous look through the rear view mirror. He'd been my best friend for two years, just long enough for him to form a case against me. Too bad I hadn't been his.

I should've known. He'd been shady from the start; who the hell makes a living off stock trades?! Unfortunately, now I was caught guilty of something I hadn't even done.

"I'm going to give you until we get into the city to sing your little heart out; then my friend over there-" he motioned with his right hand to a very anger looking suit. "-Is going to bag your head."

"It all just started as an email. A simple junk thread. 'Send one-hundred dollars and a name, and they'll be gone within a week.' Didn't think anyone would actually believe it."

The road was bumpy as we passed by field after boring field. For once, I was glad I lived in the middle of nowhere. Look at the big guy beside me, he seemed to be getting rather impatient. He ran his hand through the scraggly beard that had stolen his chin, and looked out the window with a slight sigh.
