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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWEx7HS4L7
I expected Derrick to be here but he was oddly not present.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc3HdyQzrX
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0Nm2vi5k6
When I reported back to the headquarters,
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WsC5baY6f
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaixzeITgsU
The current news deafened all other thoughts.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXN0KHFUQk
I was ecstatic!
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8409I7WMWA
He was The director!
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3KFarDcjz
He wanted to personally congratulate me!!
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NVEXG0cdx
So I went.
Before even cleaning myself or seeing if I'm presentable!
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7TRt0PGiU
I was just a gone fangirl.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxtkK0oDcB
I never saw him. The thought of seeing him in person never crossed my mind. It just happened.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp8b5sv1AA
Two guards escorted me, but we changed routes in the middle and instead of going upstairs we went down.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZo1O2V8zW
We entered a dungeon. It was an underground basement.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2q3lKrb7U
"Bring her here." A deep gruffy voice of an elder echoed from a far cell
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFATYcwDAd
This time the previous guards didn't escorted me further, instead a new pair of armed men lead me to him.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GVncgaqVt
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWX8bmgWa7
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rYipGvSne
But why bring Me here?
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqJGr7tgOi
All cells were occupied.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6kY6IzO7o
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NbXEm7qFO
"Sir!" I reported in attention with a salute. "Ease." He said, waving down his hand which held a cigar, his back still facing me.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT9vQ8PazS
"Nice to have you back. How was your trip?" He asked puffing out smoke. "Successful sir." I say, my head held high.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGxttrimJf
Crack
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA08BYUGJDr
"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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjXRoPatXT
Thump
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYeFEuBPJx
I heard the man's body fall limp on the ground.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyC7DMSVoW
But I kept my eyes focused up on Marco's hair. Which was cut short.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSZwpqUQP6
"Congratulations, Dear." He says, finally turning.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91xZr7qFWY
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMrddvvVUD
He was Terrifying.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNY6LqbfgS
"All thanks to the Training, Sir." Carefully choosing my words, I answer. I heard him "hmm." in approval.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiFHMYX6jv
"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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkgg8jc8Zx
Offcourse I did. I was one of the top assassins. I relished it's privileges. I gulped and just nodded unsure what to say.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsQosHshDn
He quirked a smirk. Dropped the cigar and crushed it under his shoe.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xK2LrN8JU
I thought back what I did wrong.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcSKeKpZyO
"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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsoI7uqO6Y
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64xE1OtTtz
Is that the truth?
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdVLJ5pHGi
I never knew he was the person who took me in that day.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFqsU0gKuP
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMyG9JDITG
My throat clogged up. It was a heavy information to swallow.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoYLrTdd05
Hell!!
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotmp2Qiu0i
It's a Hard Truth to swallow!
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqUjTcnKN0
He kept laughing. But I didn't get the joke. Maybe I am too naive to understand.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYFtgTJZZX
I never wanted to know the bitter truth.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6jfMJw03S
Why is he telling me all this now??
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLxxBYSXZ3
I looked up at him In the Eye with a question.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjdPVQNR4C
Why?
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUmQhmikJ0
"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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaoY5g07tJ
I didn't blink away.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQlq9E3mkd
My shoulders felt heavy.
My heart hurts.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79zI1aAJRU
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMqZ3DAq0n
Be Quiet. Stay smart. Stay safe.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB2vCNLXkF
If he's locking me up so be it. I don't care anymore..
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkQamRJ7Cy
..Not for the time being at least.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42usb6R7ox
"Say hi to your neighbour, Ivana." My body tensed like never before.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXsg0kLhbt
My foot suddenly felt to heavy to move as I turned.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUhjEWiNle
"Zach!" I whispered loud enough for my ears to believe.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBW2NFxMY8
My voice died in my throat.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wdGRlgidu
But I displayed no emotion,
Because we'd both be dead then.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxLmNLIzKe
But I feared this experienced man must've noticed my suffocation until now.
