The Four Mafia Men and Their Prize by M C

83 – Time to Play

Jason POV

We are standing at the base of a vast mountain range. We walked 10 miles from the main road. We drove about two hours after a three–hour plane ride on our superjet. That baby is like a Concord, built for speed. We chose an airport further away from our destination to hopefully not alert the scum to our arrival. This is his turf. No telling how many spies he has or what pockets be has lined.

Waiting at the coordinates given, we let out an exasperated huff. “Where the fuck is this person?” Charlie asks.

“I don’t know!” I exclaim. I checked my Apple Watch that Ben programmed again. We are where we are supposed to be.

The men are all taking a break. Many are sitting on the ground, leaning against the many trees lining the base of the giant mountains in front of us. The air is thinner and much colder. The sun is almost set. The blueish glow before the black sky appears against the thick tree line casts an eerie feeling and yet still seems tranquil

We continue to catch our breath and rest our bodies until the sun tas set fully and the blackness of right now covers the land. We all perk up when we hear a thick rumble sound. There are light vibrations under my feet. I look at the rocks in front of me only to watch them move. A large cutout of stone swings out toward us. A fucking wall! A real secret fucking wall in the side of a mountain! The tiny sliver of a nerd in me is all giddy inside, but I mask it with my stoic face. 1 hear Ben say in my earpiece “I don’t care how we do it, but I want one.” Thy guys and I all chuckled lowly and I silently agreed.

We see a dark tall figure emerge, cast in a shadow, and all our guns are instantly pulled and pointed at this lone dark figure. Those men that were on the ground, are all now standing in position, their weapons trained for the kill shot.

“Woah, gentlemen!” The deep voice proclaims. We can see his hands up by his head in a form of surrender. “I come in peace!” He exclaims and chuckles lightly to himself.

Charlie barks out an order and a few of our men in the Delta team go to this man and pat him down before bringing him to us. The cover of the night makes it difficult for us to see him properly until he is right in front of us. The glow of the moon helps illuminate the surrounding space.

He looks oddly familiar, but I can’t place him.

“You know, if you look closely, you can see the Orion star system just above us” the man calmly says. This is the guy. That is the code we were given. I say back “And over there is the Sagittarius constellation, but I prefer to gaze at the Big Dipper.” Finishing my words with a smirk on my face.

The guy smiles and extends his hand for me to shake it. “Im Jason,” I sternly say to him. This is Charlie and Kal” 1 point to my best friends. The guys also shake his hand.

and instructs us to follow him. That sets
