"Yes." Johnathan replied out of breath.

"Good. You got the item?"

"Yes, God damn it, what's with all the questions? We need to get out of here quick!" Johnathan said as he opened the car door and slipped inside.

"I just needed to make sure I had the right person and that you had the item." The man said. The he pulled out a gun with a silencer attached.

"What's that for?" Johnathan asked.

"You."

There was a brief muzzle flash and Johnathan's body slumped against the passenger door. His hand fell open and dropped the medallion onto the floor. The man opened the door and pushed his body to the ground outside.

"Thanks for your time and effort pal." The man said as he grinned and shut the door.

The car drove off into the night. Johnathan Cann lay motionless in the moonlight.
