I was given another room on the first floor. A bigger one, with a cozy bed. I wasn't used to coziness so I made myself comfortable on the floor under a thin blanket.

When I first came here, I knocked the walls to ensure my privacy and checked all the drawers and cupboards in case there I find a weapon, camera or Maybe a secret passage.

Vettorio stood at the door, inspecting my each and every movement as I did his. But when I thanked him and wished him good night, he left taking the hint.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGb6mOYn35
I expected Derrick to be here but he was oddly not present.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPWXXHpJdX
I shrugged off that thought and rewind my brains to the past.

It's about time when I had been back from my Miami's Mission.
It took 3 weeks to execute the final blow. But we were successful so I ignored the loss of time.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2qzEvVSqo
When I reported back to the headquarters,

Our Commander summoned me. After the congratulatory and futher instructions, his last order stuck in my mind.
"Marco, Our President.." He paused. I've only heard victorious stories about him. I wondered why he mentioned him after I'm just back. "..He wants to meet you." He didn't met my eyes. He never does that. But I ignored his indifference.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeDTFDVtW4
The current news deafened all other thoughts.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd1WOL3DFc
I was ecstatic!
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJyNl416EY
He was The director!
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx3juKYqh7
He wanted to personally congratulate me!!
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2y8YqkqpD
So I went.
Before even cleaning myself or seeing if I'm presentable!
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qQStASIzX
I was just a gone fangirl.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd0uQyPh8i
I never saw him. The thought of seeing him in person never crossed my mind. It just happened.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOajJTH8O5
Two guards escorted me, but we changed routes in the middle and instead of going upstairs we went down.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwl4llFjzs
We entered a dungeon. It was an underground basement.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQZdXusaxr
"Bring her here." A deep gruffy voice of an elder echoed from a far cell
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DFeolDOMr
This time the previous guards didn't escorted me further, instead a new pair of armed men lead me to him.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6MCghh0mQ
I slowed. An uneasy feeling settled in my gut. I feel something similar when things don't go according to plan on my business trips and instincts are the best to be relied on.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowGgdDpaOM
The place was dark and the locked cells smelled of rotten blood, piss and odour of something more I couldn't point my finger. Cells are generally like that.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYGMJYeaiV
But why bring Me here?
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhOn0dVe73
All cells were occupied.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXACNMEEzE7
We stopped at a foot distance from an almost white haired old man, taller and lean, a heavy long hooded winter coat hugging his intimidating figure. I could feel the fear rising in me, dispite my innocence. That. Was his power.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZHAtaSQu3
"Sir!" I reported in attention with a salute. "Ease." He said, waving down his hand which held a cigar, his back still facing me.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFQCWOkYOx
"Nice to have you back. How was your trip?" He asked puffing out smoke. "Successful sir." I say, my head held high.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerLSGapFcU
Crack
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH2snLZP43
"Aah!!" I heard a man's weak searing, which likely came from in front of Marco but I couldn't see, his back block my vision.
So that's what he was busy with and couldn't turn.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCfIAlMI27
Thump
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHh5I2x8BS
I heard the man's body fall limp on the ground.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8cf5UY88Q
But I kept my eyes focused up on Marco's hair. Which was cut short.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o1VGUXzG6
"Congratulations, Dear." He says, finally turning.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMM8SvSKnR
His tanned face had a deep scar running down from his head to his neck. His veins Stuck out from his muscular frame. I bet if I hear carefully his breathing must be exerting growlings.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fYBLbw1Cy
He was Terrifying.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRfukBt5im
"All thanks to the Training, Sir." Carefully choosing my words, I answer. I heard him "hmm." in approval.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTOiui8TI2
"Ivana, Do you like where you are right now? This Position!" He growled again, pointing his finger down to ground near his foot and my heart rate quickened.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb9kr6tzKa
Offcourse I did. I was one of the top assassins. I relished it's privileges. I gulped and just nodded unsure what to say.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdQBjafQMk
He quirked a smirk. Dropped the cigar and crushed it under his shoe.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVQpIP3Z5u
I thought back what I did wrong.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaN7yEHCxA
"Your parents sold ya to me when you were just four or five, my memory kinda blur." He scratched his chin and my heart dropped. My childhood topic is the only thing that can put me through emotional breakdown. And this wasn't the time.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9geuwOvdD
He then laughed.
No one else joined him.
"You were from a mistress and your dad loves money it's source the most." I cringed at his unfunny joke.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT97QW0qxc
Is that the truth?
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM225i0uNJI
I never knew he was the person who took me in that day.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvHWC9INeY
Now that he's old, converted to a totally changed man.
How could I have recognised him.
It's like I saw him for the first time.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOikArH0Eaf
My throat clogged up. It was a heavy information to swallow.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bx99crKaX
Hell!!
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXa5WYk5gW
It's a Hard Truth to swallow!
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvshP1ybGg3
He kept laughing. But I didn't get the joke. Maybe I am too naive to understand.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAEVcbdpf9
I never wanted to know the bitter truth.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSFnImY9I0
Why is he telling me all this now??
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY85NzoKzb
I looked up at him In the Eye with a question.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcxiyKcGKv
Why?
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYGD9bN8Tv
"Darlin, I want to remind you who feeds you. What made you to come this far. You stay loyal to them! You fuckin Repay them!" He was almost spating at my face now.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94j65nFjSL
I didn't blink away.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgxxwf4FIK
My shoulders felt heavy.
My heart hurts.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGbPl2Djcx
He snaps his fingers and I hear shoes clicking in the background. And then the metal bars of a cell at certain distance being lifted. I heard it all but didn't move nor made sound.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlhReWeNMk
Be Quiet. Stay smart. Stay safe.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rVk84CrCJ
If he's locking me up so be it. I don't care anymore..
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmIOk5ZmqN
..Not for the time being at least.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxCaFanVfY
"Say hi to your neighbour, Ivana." My body tensed like never before.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ7IXo8sMr
My foot suddenly felt to heavy to move as I turned.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu13fPLxCQ
"Zach!" I whispered loud enough for my ears to believe.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpIOClxjK0
My voice died in my throat.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeCANLOTet
But I displayed no emotion,
Because we'd both be dead then.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmE2KJOECJ
But I feared this experienced man must've noticed my suffocation until now.
