《Not Quite What You Meant (Short Story Collection)》A Simple Misunderstanding
Advertisement
"And we have a second date scheduled for Thursday! So, yes, mission accomplished. I hope the distraction was sufficient. I certainly did my best. He was very distracted."
"You don't. . . take him out, you take him out."
"What do you mean?"
"You were supposed to take him out. For good."
"For good? That seems like it would be moving entirely too fast. Do you want me to propose on Thursday, or is it essential that it's done today? I could probably show up tonight, if it's time-sensitive."
"You do realize who I am? Who you work for? What your job is?"
"Yes, I know we're criminals, which is why I thought it strange who you wanted me dating, but I'm fully committed to this job, sir. I'll do whatever it takes."
"I know you are, which is why you're still breathing. But right now you're making it very, very difficult to justify that decision."
"Oh, no, did I leave too soon? I thought six hours would be long enough to keep him busy. I'm not sure how much longer we could have stretched things out."
"That isn't the issue. I'm sure you performed admirably. But there seems to be a fundamental confusion of terms here. When I said 'take him out' I intended the other type."
"Why are you doing the throat thing with your finger? Oh, my. Um, I'm not sure how convincing I could be, I've never been into that sort of thing, is that what he-"
"No! You idiot! I want him dead, not married, not... whatever you're imagining! DEAD! Slit his throat, shoot him in the face, I don't care how."
"Ah. I see. No problem, sir, thank you. That's much better than what I thought you were asking."
"I do not want to know. Now get out there and take him out."
"Consider it done."
