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.

I expected Derrick to be here but he was oddly not present.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1sEDbadF5
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.

When I reported back to the headquarters,
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFLvg7iLHW
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAScnKlR1Uy
The current news deafened all other thoughts.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcjvZO6zP1
I was ecstatic!
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rCSmgZyX2
He was The director!
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VD6NlPBVa
He wanted to personally congratulate me!!
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5H7ZUVO6Y
So I went.
Before even cleaning myself or seeing if I'm presentable!
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDJdAQ7Lgg
I was just a gone fangirl.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oXCT5l9R9
I never saw him. The thought of seeing him in person never crossed my mind. It just happened.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnTGj9wskg
Two guards escorted me, but we changed routes in the middle and instead of going upstairs we went down.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ONLrJZaNr
We entered a dungeon. It was an underground basement.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfBP9EDLPh
"Bring her here." A deep gruffy voice of an elder echoed from a far cell
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XQRay1gxM
This time the previous guards didn't escorted me further, instead a new pair of armed men lead me to him.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHpDzp8V6D
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJDI9hgrvD
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf6VlI7UfX
But why bring Me here?
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNiZ48rikz
All cells were occupied.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xtu2wAKtK
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUMAzlxVYf
"Sir!" I reported in attention with a salute. "Ease." He said, waving down his hand which held a cigar, his back still facing me.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx64Ur9MwO
"Nice to have you back. How was your trip?" He asked puffing out smoke. "Successful sir." I say, my head held high.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaebvgXQDVH
Crack
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7QvBApStf
"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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxxQJbFgko
Thump
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOPsiLV7bh
I heard the man's body fall limp on the ground.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PGZA0tCpr
But I kept my eyes focused up on Marco's hair. Which was cut short.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWGkNFg9Iq
"Congratulations, Dear." He says, finally turning.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp5wgIN3b1
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrSE4pIGbV
He was Terrifying.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2cR5PF1P4
"All thanks to the Training, Sir." Carefully choosing my words, I answer. I heard him "hmm." in approval.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIpXuazIaR
"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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UyxZ4uo4v
Offcourse I did. I was one of the top assassins. I relished it's privileges. I gulped and just nodded unsure what to say.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS1GgSpqQ2
He quirked a smirk. Dropped the cigar and crushed it under his shoe.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1CZQf4ydp
I thought back what I did wrong.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DUafeLui6
"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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniZpbBuZNd
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8tHvQLUka
Is that the truth?
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb2v1XlJFy
I never knew he was the person who took me in that day.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6quKtcqS5
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjDfrnEHQG
My throat clogged up. It was a heavy information to swallow.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbkbxi9fkc
Hell!!
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAs7BZuYlA
It's a Hard Truth to swallow!
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MEDCTilr6
He kept laughing. But I didn't get the joke. Maybe I am too naive to understand.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQegxfdhmE
I never wanted to know the bitter truth.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ3705e9bW
Why is he telling me all this now??
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMJ7bcx542
I looked up at him In the Eye with a question.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEYr8QzgoR
Why?
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXgaLePUPV
"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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkweCjJoqUZ
I didn't blink away.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypXavcNE5n
My shoulders felt heavy.
My heart hurts.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHyQxivhOC
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCHktDdQnp
Be Quiet. Stay smart. Stay safe.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhZV5ex6aX
If he's locking me up so be it. I don't care anymore..
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgvzH7CTYG
..Not for the time being at least.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3BPgNC18j
"Say hi to your neighbour, Ivana." My body tensed like never before.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sYjZhPuV8
My foot suddenly felt to heavy to move as I turned.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZelknfYIj
"Zach!" I whispered loud enough for my ears to believe.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMkmbFXR4X
My voice died in my throat.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmR60lVIbp
But I displayed no emotion,
Because we'd both be dead then.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhxj1k1kHy
But I feared this experienced man must've noticed my suffocation until now.
