Short Story


The Russian ''Job''



“Are you ready?” asked Natasha.
“I think so” Ivan said.
Everything was ready to begin. Natasha and Ivan got in the van and drove to the place. The whole town was asleep, and they were ready for the “job”. They've been waiting for this moment since years. It was time for the man who killed their son to pay.

The memories still haunted their minds, even though so many years have passed. They couldn't forget how horrible their son's death was, and it was all Polonsky's and his gang's fault. The poor baby was an innocent victim, that got killed because of his parents having open “affairs” with Polonsky and his gang.

Ivan and his wife were both members of the Russian Mafia, and they caused a lot of trouble to Polonsky's gang. Polonsky got really angry and upset, and in order to make them pay, he killed their son that was only 1 years old. Ivan and Natasha got really mad, and now it was time for Polonsky to pay for his cruelness.

They waited in the van outside his house, until they made sure that Polonski was asleep. They put on their masks and gloves and got ready. With their legs trembling and their heart like stone, they got out of the van and moved quietly outside Polonski's window. They knew that he was asleep by the sound of his snoring, which could be heard from miles away. They made sure they had all the weapons they needed.

Ivan and Natasha were standing petrified under Polonski's window, but at the same time, they both had a creepy feeling of happiness. They loaded their guns, took their pocketknives, and Ivan broke in first through the window! Polonski was alerted, and he immediately reach for his AK-47 that he had under his bed. Before Ivan got a chance to pull the trigger, Polonsky shot him on his left leg. He fell on the floor and started crying and screaming because he couldn't move his leg. Polonsky went there and pulled Ivan's mask, and he jumped back. He didn't expect to see that face again, and he was ready to get rid of him once and for all.

While Polonsky was ready to finish Ivan, Natasha jumped there too, and stubbed Polonsky on the back. As Polonsky hadn't noticed Natasha hiding outside, when he got stubbed, he didn't know where it came from, he just fell on the ground facing down and died.

Immediately, Natasha grabbed Ivan and helped him to rush out of the house. They got in their van and drove away feeling satisfied and justified after they took revenge for their son's death. Even though Ivan and Natasha never forgot their son, they moved to another country, and from that point on, they were living like an ordinary couple, and put an end to their dark previous life.
