Be it a vassal, be it the king,
this death-jewel is my poisoned sting.

Cold rain poured down like it had for hours already and the man that knelt before him was soaked as a dog. The man quivered but Nikolay was sure that the wetness wasn't the only reason for it. Slowly Nikolay squatted down and looked the other one right in the face. "It's unfortunate" he said with a soft voice "but it seems that the boss has had enough of you, Louis. Too many disappointments, too many mistakes - he can't afford that, you know? I hope you understand..." He got up again and turned his back on the still kneeling Louis. "Guys, it's your turn." he muttered and two human giants came out of the shadows. When they started their horrible work Nikolay had already left the dark back alley and went down the main road, holding his black umbrella with a firm grip. While his face, as always, showed no emotion there was a storm of thoughts going on behind his forehead. How could he end like that? What was he even doing here?

In the first 25 years of his life there was no sign of any illegal activity, he didn't even smoke or drink. His grades were always remarkably good so he went through school and his studies with ease and became a chemist whom others predicted a bright future. Unfortunately there were two factors that prevented it from happen - his laziness and his greed for fame and money. Of course he wanted to be someone special but not for the cost of making a real effort. When he met Julietta, the not even ugly daugther of a pharma company owner, he felt that his chance had come and he began to court her no matter the cost. Lucky for him Julietta reciprocated his feelings and once her father had given his permission the couple celebrated a big public wedding short before Nikolay's 27th birthday.

The next couple of years were truly comfortable for him as he was easily able to live on the expense of his wife and her family. He still worked as a chemist in the familys' company but he was allowed to follow his own work schedule which of course included more freetime than anything else. Then his father-in-law died and Julietta inherited the company but unlike the old man her main interest wasn't mere profit; she wanted doing good. Nikolay felt sick whenever he had to attend another charity event where Julietta gave money away like it was worth nothing and his negative feelings towards her more and more gained the upper hand until there was only one feeling left: Burning hatred.

It was on November, 28th when the inevitable happened. Another big benefit event, everyone was smiling and ass-patting each other and Nikolay just wished for a deep hole to sink in. Around midnight Julietta approached him, saying that she would feel a bit dizzy and that she would like to get some fresh air. Together they took the elavator to the rooftop terrace and went outside. For a while they just stood there and looked at the cities' skyline but then Julietta began to talk about her latest plan - selling parts of the company in order to be able to help even more poor and sick people all around the world. In this very moment the last grain of respect for his wife died in Nikolay. Without really thinking it through he bowed down, grabbed Julietta's legs and literally tossed her over the handrail of the terrace. The depth of her fall and the ground fog that night spared him the sight of her deadly landing.

When the police arrived he played the husband in shock, mumbling about Julietta's secret depressions and how much he had loved and adored her. They let him go but somehow Nikolay felt that they didn't really believe his fairytale. When he got back home he wasn't able to sleep until he took some pills that then knocked him out for nearly 24 hours. During that time someone had dropped a big brown envelope in his mail box and after Nikolay had checked its content he sat there in true shock: A photo showing him while murdering his wife, "I know it all." being written on the back side of it. In this moment the telephone rang and, like in trance, Nikolay answered the call. "Finally awake I see." an unfamilar male voice said. "Please do not worry too much about the mail, my boy, problems are there to be solved. I can offer you an arrangement, just meet me where you've met her, 1130."

On this day, in a little bar somewhere in the city, Nikolay became the favorite toy of crime boss Saul "Silence" Campisano. The police never approached him again and the case of Julietta's dead was just closed. Simple as that. Therefore he now had to take orders from "Silence" without asking any questions, regardless if it was about blackmailing, murder or producing drugs in a secret area of the pharma company. Of course he had his henchmen for dirty tasks but nevertheless he was the one with the responsibility. And he loathed it. Not because it was criminal and wrong but because he still was a nothing. Nobody. Unimportant.

Nikolay took a deep breath and folded up the the collar of his coat. An observer would still not be able to recognize any sign of emotion on his face but deep inside of his mind a voice was raising, overpowering all the others. "Be patient. We will find a way soon and it will lead us to glory."
