Sitting in the bushes, I unblinkly stared at the dirt road in front of me. I don’t want to miss a second of what's about to happen. All of my hard work for the past month is going to finally pay off.

In the distance, I saw a flash of familiar brown hair. My heart starts pounding as I see the hair come closer and closer. My enemy finally comes into full view but something is wrong. Something is terribly wrong. “Oh no,” I audibly said.

I hurriedly moved out of the bushes to disengage my trap. I started to sprint, but it was too late. The trap is engaged. I walked into the road and looked into the trees, I saw the brown-haired man that was my target hanging by his leg in the tree. Next to him in the tree is a child.

“What the hell, man,” said Frank, my mortal enemy.

“You never have a kid with you when you come this way!” I yelled back at him.

“His mom is out of town,” Frank said, holding his child as they swung from the tree.

“You should have got a babysitter,” I said, rapidly thinking of my next move.

“Money is tight right now.” Frank said, as he and his child were now spinning in circles. “Can you let us down?”

“No, I worked hard on this,” I said, trying to figure out any other way to handle this situation. “Maybe I can just let the kid down.”

“You can’t let a kid run around unattended,” Frank said. I started to pace.

Frank is right, I can’t let a kid walk around unattended. I’m not a monster.

“If I let you down, will you promise to walk in the same spot tomorrow?”

“His mom doesn’t get home until Wednesday.”

“What about Thursday? Can you walk the same path on Thursday?” I said hopefully.

“I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday, how about Friday?” Frank said back.

I thought about it for a second and that worked for me. “Friday works for me!” I said as I walked over to the tree the rope was tied to and let the two down. I walked over to Frank and we shook hands.

“See you Friday,” Said Frank as he started to walk away with his child.

“Not if I see you first,” I said back as I walked back to gather my trap so that I would be able to use it again on Friday.

Braden opens the door to his luxurious New York apartment. Stepping into his dark apartment, he had a feeling something was out of place. He scans the apartment quickly and notices his office chair has been moved. Braden sighs and rolls his eyes. He turns the lights on and the chair suddenly turns.

“Hello, brother,” says the woman in the chair. Her appearance is dark with dark hair, dark eyes and dark clothes.

“Why are you always so damn dramatic, Stephanie,” said Braden.

“It’s not Stephanie!” she said fiercely.

“Sorry, Ambrosia” he said mockingly, “what do you want?”

“I want you to kill our brother” she hissed.

“Why do you want me to kill our brother?”

“Because he keeps ruining my plans for domination!” She said loudly, now standing up.

“No, why do you want ME to kill our brother? Can you not find someone else?”

“It has to be you. He trusts you.”

“Exactly. Because I’m the good sibling” he said with a smile.

“Good? You’re a mercenary. You're just as evil as I am!”

“True, but I don’t have to go to Goth for my job”, Braden said with a smirk. “It was good seeing you but I’m going to have to reject your offer”. He opened the door and gestured for his sister to leave.

“25 million” Ambrosia said with a smile. Braden closes the door and the two begin planning the execution of their superhero brother.

The next day, with the plan set, Braden invites his brother to his house for dinner. Ambrosia arrives before her brother and sets herself up in the bedroom. The superhero brother arrives at the door, bottle of wine in hand. Braden opens the door.

“Hey little brother!”

“Hello Jack!” The brothers went in for a hug. As soon as they separate, Braden pulls out a pistol and points it at Jack's head. He pulls the trigger and it doesn’t fire. Jack holds his hand out and several bullets fall to the ground.

“I have super speed. You’re not fast enough!” Jack says while he picks his brother up by the his neck and holds him against the wall. Ambrosia swiftly walks out of the back room.

“This is my kind of family reunion!” Ambrosia yells while walking towards her siblings. She points towards the two and Jack suddenly stiffens. Braden looks at his sister while Jack's hand is still tightly around his throat. He said “please…help”.

Ambrosia walks up to his ear and whispers “I always wanted to be an only child”.
