"Father, forgive me for the sins I committed." A man said as he was inside a confession box with a priest while holding a Jesus cross necklace. "There's no forgiving David, you're just doing God's work." The priest said as David looks at the necklace. David had short hair comb back, stubble beard, and around his mid forties. Mexican with dark brown eyes. "It's not that Father, it's about what I feel." David said. "Then how do you feel about this?" The priest said as David looks up at the window. "The things I've done in the past, it made me the man I am today. I don't know if I like it or hate it. I'm just really confused." David said and the priest turns to look at him. "It's always a feeling David, you know how to keep yourself intact and so far, you haven't gone insane because God is right by your side to guide you. Follow him to the unknown and once the deal is done then follow him back to the light." The priest said. "You're the Dark Hunter, there's a reason why you lived pass twenty-seven. This is a gift David, don't waste it." The Priest said as David looks at his watch. "Thank you, I have to go." David said as he stands up and walks out with a serious face.

"Let's go. Load the boxes into the truck." The guy in a suit said as four people were putting boxes inside the truck. It was an hour after midnight and the guys looked tired, but continue working. "Why are we out here so late? This is so stupid." One of the guys said. "We missed our delivery to the boss last time and I want to make sure we do everything right this time." The guy in the suit explained. "You should have brought more men if we are being out here late." The guy said. "Shut the fuck up and put the boxes in the truck." The guy in a suit said as the guy went back to working. "Bunch of fucking amateurs." He said as everyone heard that and continue working. He goes around a cargo to reach his car and leans on the hood. The four guys were basically all done. One goes to the driver's seat while the others stand behind the truck to close it. The guy was about to turn on the car and sees a man in a black suit sitting right next to him. The guy tried to pull out his gun, but gets stabbed in the neck with a blade. The three guys outside closed the door and waited for the guy to turn on the truck. "What's wrong with him? Hey." One of the guys go to the door and opens it then the body falls out of the driver's seat. He moved and saw the blood still pouring out even though he's dead. "What the hell?" The guy said as a man in a black suit comes from a shadow and heads towards the two guys from behind. He stabs one of the guys on the back of the head with a hidden blade on his left arm then stabs the second guy in the eye with a small knife. The guy by the driver's seat takes out a pistol and the man in the black suit turns the second guy with the knife in his eye around then the guy fires and hits his friend. The man ran to the side and the guy falls. "Shit." The guy goes behind and around the truck to cut him off, but when he got there, no one was there. The guy in the suit heard the gunshots and goes inside his car to leave. "This is bullshit. I'm out of here." The guy in the suit turns his key to turn on his car then out of nowhere, the car blows up. The guy with the pistol saw the fire rising up. He panicked and started running towards the truck to get out of there, but something hits him in the back where the spine area was causing him to fall face first. He screamed out in pain. It was a combat knife that hit him. He was crawling away and the man in the black suit walks towards. He steps on the guy's hand and pulls the combat knife out to put it back in his pocket. He kicked him over and looks down on him. The guy on the ground look at the face, but the man had a black bandana covering his mouth and is wearing a black hood. The only thing that was shown from his face was his dark brown eyes. "Please, I'm just a guy who hanged with the wrong crowd. I had no other choice and the guy you blew up was a dick. He deserved it." The guy was saying everything he could so he could survive, but the man in the black suit just watched him. "Have some mercy. I'm begging you." The guy said as the man in the black suit leans closer. "You chose this life and now, it's over. May God have mercy on your soul." David pulls out a hidden blade from his left arm then stabs the guy straight to the heart. The guy slowly fade away and all he can see was David's eyes.

Summer

The TV was on the news channel and were talking about the dead people at the docks. "Again with this crap. Three nights in a row with people dead. Jesus, I thought San Diego was supposed to be a safe area, but nowhere is safe." A fat man said as he turns off the TV. The fat man had black hair, goatee, and is Mexican. He looked around his mid fifties. "It's the only thing that can make it to the news. Besides, our sports teams here suck so they wouldn't be talking about that." Another man said. He's around his mid twenties, but looks younger like a eighteen year old. The young man had light brown hair, brown eyes, and is white. He was placing the items on the shelves while the fat man was behind the cash register. They were in a liquor store working. "Whatever. Where is David?" The fat man asked and David comes out from back with a box. "Here." David walks to the young man. "Ben, let me take care of this. You go check on the items in the back." David said as Ben nods and walks to the back. "You took your sweet ass time over there. Don't you know we got customers here." The fat man said as David looks around and there's no one around. "Are you drunk again?" David asked. "No, God no. I don't drink anymore ." The fat man said as he sits on the stood. "Okay." David continue working on organizing the items on the shelves. "It's true. Ask my wife." The fat man pulls out a mint and eats it. "I thought your wife left you Fred." David respond in a negative way. "Shut your mouth and get back to work." Fred threat David, but doesn't seem to care. "Whatever." David just ignore him and continue working.

6:15pm

David was sitting at a table in Chicano Park drinking a beer can from a six pack. He finished two of them and is at his third. There were also birds flying around and one of them was just a crow who lands on a roof chirping. The birds flew away and only the crow was left standing there. As he was sitting, a German Shepard dog comes by and places it's head on David's lap. "Hey Booker, no luck today boy." David said. "Don't worry, there's always another day." David stood up and Booker looks up to him. "Come on, let's head home. You must be hungry." David then started walking and Booker walked next to him leaving the two empty beer cans on the table.

A few minutes later, David and Booker were inside their apartment. David was in the kitchen getting a bag. David gets dog food and goes out to the balcony. He puts food on the bowl and Booker went straight away to start eating. David puts the bag away and sits on the couch to relax. He left the door open from the balcony so Booker could go in whatever he wants. David was already on his fourth and just kept drinking. After a moment, Booker came back and sat next to David. David looks to his side to look at him. Booker then started licking David's face. Booker kept going and David then started petting him to make him stop. "Okay that's enough." David said as Booker stop and David sits up. Booker places it's head on David's lap and David touches Booker's head. "Alright boy, I'm gonna get some shut eyes right now so you don't start barking unless there's someone at that door. Understood?" David said as Booker barked. David feels Booker's head and stands up. David goes into his room and shuts the door.

Midnight

David was on top of a construction building at Downtown San Diego. David had a little bit of hangover, but felt sober enough to be out there. He was wearing a black leather jacket with black gloves. Black pants and a black hood. He also is wearing a black bandana around his neck. Got two pistols in his belt along with a double barrel shotgun on his back. Four small knifes around his both wrists, an machete behind his back, and an hidden blade on his left arm. David was sitting on the edge looking down on the city. "Quite the view up here." David said to himself as he listens carefully. "Time to go to work." He pulls his black bandana up to cover his mouth. "May the God protect my soul." David was holding a Jesus cross necklace then puts it under his jacket and starts heading downstairs.

"What do you think? Pretty nice spot." A man in a suit said as he was with five other men surrounding him while talking to a fat guy wearing a suit. "Yeah yeah whatever. I'm just here for business. No small talk necessary." The fat guy said. "Alright Mr. Espinoza. What do you need?" The guy asked nervously. "Your last shipment never came. My boss isn't too happy about that." Espinoza said as he was staring down at him. "I'm sorry, but this vigilante on the news destroyed the products. All of them including some of my men. There wasn't anything I could have done." The guy explained. "This vigilante is a joke. God, I hate freaks who dress up in their stupid Halloween costumes. Since one man destroyed the product, then there's no point of needing you anymore." Espinoza said. "Mr. Espin..." Espinoza pulls a knife in his pocket and stabs the guy in the throat. He puts him down to the ground then stabs him again on the side of the neck. Espinoza stands up and a guy hands him a napkin. Espinoza cleans the knife. "Put the body in the bag." He ordered as three of them go to the body with a body bag. "Get this done quickly." Espinoza goes to the elevator along with two other men while the others deal with the body. He went inside the elevator shaft and started going down. After three floors, the elevator shaft stopped. "What the hell is wrong with this thing?" Espinoza was pushing the button, but wasn't doing anything. "Alright, there's another elevator shaft on the other side of this building." Espinoza and the two men walked out and started walking to the other side. They see the second elevator shaft there and they were about to go on it, it goes up. "Shit. They're already done. It was too quick for them. Wasn't it?" Espinoza turns around to look at two of his men then out of nowhere, David comes behind him from outside with a rope attached above their floor and takes out two of his pistol. David shoots and kills the two men then points it at Espinoza. "Go ahead. Try something, I dare you." David said angrily and Espinoza was trying to act tough, but he looked nervous. "Do you know who I am? Do you?" Espinoza tries to imitate David. "Yeah I do. Mr. Espinoza. A rich asshole who sells weapons and drugs along the coast of California. Accused of being a drug lord, assault, and human trafficking, but the evidence was false letting you found not guilty. So yeah, I know who you are." David puts one of his pistols back in his holster. "I know that you're just one of the followers so tell me who's running the whole operation and I'll let you live for another day." David said as Espinoza didn't look like he was gonna tell him the truth so he shoots Espinoza in the right kneecap. "TELL ME OR I'll MAKE YOU A CRIPPLE BASTARD!" David then hits Espinoza in the face with the pistol three times. David grabs Espinoza's tie and pulls to the edge. "HELP! I NEED HELP!" Espinoza yelled. "Call all you want. They're not coming." David pushes the button and Espinoza sees the elevator shaft coming down towards his head. "Please. He'll torture me and...kill me if I say anything." Espinoza was begging as the elevator shaft was coming down. "GIVE ME THE NAME!" David yelled and hits Espinoza's bullet wound. Eric was struggling to get free. "ROB! His name is Rob Snow. I swear I'm telling the truth." Espinoza said. "It can't be. He's just a hired mercenary." David said. "I know, but he's the only one that knows his real name. I'm just one of the employers. I swear." Espinoza said as he takes out his knife, but David grabs Espinoza wrist and pushes it to the floor. David grabs the knife and stabs Espinoza's hand to the ground. "You shouldn't have done that." David said. "I'm sorry. I panicked. Please, I have a family. A wife and two daughters. Please." Espinoza was begging and was afraid as the elevator shaft was very close. "Family huh?" David said as he looks at him closer. "Your family will be better off without you. May the God have mercy on your soul." David said as the elevator shaft touches Espinoza's head and started yelling as his head was slowly coming off. The head completely came off and went down to the streets below. The elevator shaft made it to their floor and blood was pouring either down to the streets or on the elevator shaft. David stood up and looked at Espinoza's dead body then walks away leaving the body there.

Somewhere else

Three guys were inside a basement smoking cigarettes and drinking beer while a guy in a suit with black gloves was looking at the money in the briefcase. The guy had a full bread and a buzz cut. Looks around his late thirties and had green eyes. The three guys had a girl there wearing a bikini dancing with the pole, but she didn't seem to be in the mood of doing that. The guys had pistols so the girl didn't really have much of a choice. "We got the payment and you give us the drugs. That was the deal." One of the guys said as Rob Snow was checking the money in the briefcase carefully. "It looks about right." Rob said as a guy offers him a beer bottle, but Rob nods. "So, where's the drugs? I already came into an agreement with your boss and I intend to keep his promises." The guy said as Rob closes the briefcase. "Yeah, he wanted me to give you a message." Rob said as he takes out his pistol with a suppresser and shoots him in the head. He then shoot the two guys in the head with just two shots. The girl looked shock and looks at Rob. Rob grabs the briefcase and starts walking to the door, but stops and looks at the girl. "You're welcome." Rob then walks out the door with the briefcase.

An hour later, Rob was in his apartment with a gun and the briefcase in front of him. The apartment looked nice and had a view of Downtown San Diego. Rob was sitting on a couch while his cellphone rings. "It's done." Rob said when he answered the cellphone. "Nice work. Keep the case. It's yours. Come see me tomorrow for your next job." The voice from the cellphone said as Rob hangs up and a woman in a red robe walks into the living room where Rob was in. "Hey, you're finally back." The woman gets on top of Rob and starts kissing him. She then starts unbutton Rob's shirt. "Cassie, I'm pretty tired and need some sleep." Rob said as Cassie kept unbuttoning the shirt. "Come on, it's been over a month." Cassie opens Rob's shirt. "I'm tir..." Cassie takes off her robe to show him her lingerie not letting Rob finish. "Shut up and kiss me." Cassie starts kissing Rob and hugged each other. Rob carries Cassie while kissing and go to their bedroom.

Meanwhile

There was a woman inside the living room making a phone, but all she was getting was voicemails. The woman then calls someone else. "Hello." The voice said. "This is Angie Espinoza, I want to know if my husband is still at work." Angie said. "Sorry, I'm afraid he can't come home right now. Or ever in that matter." The voice said as Angie realize that it's not one of the employees that work for her husband. It was David on the phone. "Who are you? What did you do to my husband?" Angie asked angrily. "Manners Angie, didn't your parents taught you that." David said as Angie got angry. "Whoever you are, I'm gonna find you and I'm gonna kill you myself." Angie said. "You won't have to look far." David said as he hangs up the phone and was inside the house. He stood behind Angie then Angie turns around, but gets grabbed by the throat. David started choking her then threw against the wall making her hit face first. She broke her nose and David grabs a hold on Angie's arm then her head to get behind. "Angie Espinoza, the wife. Same crook just like your husband. I guess love comes in all places." David said as he was choking Angie, but she couldn't get free. "You're lucky because normally I would kill you and be done with it so I think it's wise to listen to this." David said as he leans closer to her ear. "I want you to tell your boss, the man in charge of everything here in San Diego, tell him I'm coming for him. No matter where he goes or any safe place he thinks it's safe, I will find him and I will kill him. Did you get that?" David asked and Angie nods. "Good. One more thing, you have daughters don't you. Two of them, it will be a damn shame if something were to happen to them so it's best you stay out of my way. Got it?" David said as he laughs a little to scare Angie more. "Stay away...from my daughters and I...will stay away from you." Angie said. "That's nice to hear. If I have to come back, I'll break the other one." David pulls Angie's arm back to break it. Angie scream in pain while David stood up to look at her then walks away leaving her there. David felt no regret and just keeps walking away.

"As the years go by, people die. I kill, I torture, I do whatever I want, but for what? I've been asking that myself, probably I will never know. Besides, after my work is done, my life will be over. I've lived this life for a long time and it has been a journey that I'll never forget. May the God watch over me."
