Apartment 3-B

10:14 P.M.

The beating to James Coffler happened that night. I knew it was going down prior to its occurrence. My intuition set in; an unyielding vibration along every curve of my torso and temples. Those physical actions attested that Tommy was on a mission of harmful destruction. He wasn’t going to kill Coffler, but he did want to hurt the man severely.

Tommy left my apartment without saying goodbye, which was not uncommon. Nor did he tell me where he was going, not that I really wanted him to since his life was his business. Although he was staying with me, I didn’t follow his whereabouts at all times, respecting the man. But I just knew and felt that he went to get revenge on Coffler that night. Something in my stomach screamed at me. Tommy wanted to kick some ass, and that was the night he was going to carry the feat out, with or without help.
