I like how at first you really think its going to be a traditional hit, you know, a real traditional contract killing, and then it turns out to be something else entirely, also a contract killing, but this time literally a "contract killing" (a gym contract) of her old fat self. Well done. You get the award for cleverness and creativity so far. :)Scriptor Obscurahttp://www.wattpad.com/user/ScriptorObscuranoreply@blogger.com
