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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF4y1awI8h
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,
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gnkLJoG8a
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhthZQlgUK
The current news deafened all other thoughts.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzaqQTRp3A
I was ecstatic!
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DZlPwEDVi
He was The director!
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBArV7PN1p5
He wanted to personally congratulate me!!
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErhodTZ1f1
So I went.
Before even cleaning myself or seeing if I'm presentable!
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDjC6qHEan
I was just a gone fangirl.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtKDhrQnVu
I never saw him. The thought of seeing him in person never crossed my mind. It just happened.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm8niPIKD6
Two guards escorted me, but we changed routes in the middle and instead of going upstairs we went down.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIstsEKBDRP
We entered a dungeon. It was an underground basement.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2B2kUyZal
"Bring her here." A deep gruffy voice of an elder echoed from a far cell
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTk9RACDMR
This time the previous guards didn't escorted me further, instead a new pair of armed men lead me to him.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkTuDjfxNW
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWqyal9POJ
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OAGzJ76ht
But why bring Me here?
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXpIRfOaLH
All cells were occupied.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk51aefIYjE
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXeJnchwvg
"Sir!" I reported in attention with a salute. "Ease." He said, waving down his hand which held a cigar, his back still facing me.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP30pD6rlz
"Nice to have you back. How was your trip?" He asked puffing out smoke. "Successful sir." I say, my head held high.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUTUV1j4xa
Crack
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VL4GLLmMz
"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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspKcEN3po3
Thump
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnbj7jJZFg
I heard the man's body fall limp on the ground.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM5tM57nqb
But I kept my eyes focused up on Marco's hair. Which was cut short.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtXK7ZC2Ph
"Congratulations, Dear." He says, finally turning.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHDyeNrMlM
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6GzglRKYH
He was Terrifying.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTy2uM8Bpi
"All thanks to the Training, Sir." Carefully choosing my words, I answer. I heard him "hmm." in approval.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybKT2CzMpq
"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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycGq638TkL
Offcourse I did. I was one of the top assassins. I relished it's privileges. I gulped and just nodded unsure what to say.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYclJzHt1uT
He quirked a smirk. Dropped the cigar and crushed it under his shoe.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QXVDTnOKj
I thought back what I did wrong.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysOkoN0rkU
"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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngIBfRfKk7
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1z6FGLcqY
Is that the truth?
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcYhcIfLHb
I never knew he was the person who took me in that day.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaalA4hNfWK
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rTgI7UnqM
My throat clogged up. It was a heavy information to swallow.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BwuO72ZAK
Hell!!
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwzHtlHibH
It's a Hard Truth to swallow!
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89PCFx61h0
He kept laughing. But I didn't get the joke. Maybe I am too naive to understand.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBoWDWMLuG
I never wanted to know the bitter truth.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTSulkPWeH
Why is he telling me all this now??
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHtxccXCAg
I looked up at him In the Eye with a question.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0apYcghuff
Why?
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokAv5yPGUr
"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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzJUmTpsX2
I didn't blink away.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kWR0TCvmr
My shoulders felt heavy.
My heart hurts.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NWhhvz4xq
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJNTJUBSj6
Be Quiet. Stay smart. Stay safe.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2T7cnRWWV
If he's locking me up so be it. I don't care anymore..
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBUDIxct7x
..Not for the time being at least.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkDbjvuiAZ
"Say hi to your neighbour, Ivana." My body tensed like never before.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq25OV5rue
My foot suddenly felt to heavy to move as I turned.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7nzku44L6
"Zach!" I whispered loud enough for my ears to believe.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeO3oVh0hI
My voice died in my throat.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVC4sEeQzY
But I displayed no emotion,
Because we'd both be dead then.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1Ouaf12HK
But I feared this experienced man must've noticed my suffocation until now.
