As I crossed off the day on my calendar I couldn't believe it was already six months since I'd been in the witness protection programme. I was given a new look and a new name but I wasn't allowed to live on my own yet.

I didn't have access to a television, phone or any device that I could interact with the outside world through.

I must admit though that it was nice being this close to Ryan again and fully understanding what he did for a living. Even though he tried to make my transition into my new life as easy as possible, not a day went by without me thinking about Jelani and the revenge I planned to wreak on his sorry life.

After six months of obeying every rule that Ryan gave me, he now trusted me to go out on my own. I took full advantage of this and the first place I went...you guessed it… was to Jelani's house with his little family to tell his wife that her husband was a cheat and a very horrible person. Well not exactly in those PG 13 words but you get the idea.

I pounded on the door, "Jelani, you better open this door you little piece of sh…."

"Hey," someone called from behind me. I turned to see an elderly man with a friendly face holding a bag of groceries in his hands.

"Can I help you?" he asked as he walked towards me.

I cleared my throat, "Ummm yes, I'm looking for a friend of mine. His name is Jelani."
