Hunter

They took everything from me—my brother, my guardian angel, my best friend. I’m not a killer by nature… but I’m a quick learner.

For weeks, they watched them—my brother and the woman carrying his child.

Then they came for him, leaving nothing but carnage where a good man once stood.

His fiancée vanished without a trace, my future niece or nephew with her.

Standing at the freshly turned earth that held what remained of him, I whispered words only the dead could hear.

His child would know its father's face.

His killers would know mine.

If it were my final act on this earth.
