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.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZXRDJRjgx
I expected Derrick to be here but he was oddly not present.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2W2e82Yx8
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,
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd2z18Y5pV
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.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboWPjMKccs
The current news deafened all other thoughts.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFw30x8LLE
I was ecstatic!
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6l1532yYd
He was The director!
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFWxIhiZ8X
He wanted to personally congratulate me!!
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhWmB67Ki1
So I went.
Before even cleaning myself or seeing if I'm presentable!
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuvGUrtjh8
I was just a gone fangirl.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLzdg0JoDM
I never saw him. The thought of seeing him in person never crossed my mind. It just happened.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjRTYWwkca
Two guards escorted me, but we changed routes in the middle and instead of going upstairs we went down.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVENxEw1zrb
We entered a dungeon. It was an underground basement.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3gIP1PbfX
"Bring her here." A deep gruffy voice of an elder echoed from a far cell
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T8Muegppf
This time the previous guards didn't escorted me further, instead a new pair of armed men lead me to him.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSRq8JeaGs
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.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUMnK5ImkD
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.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIVoQVNHZB
But why bring Me here?
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVVfEs9iTG
All cells were occupied.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19TcZH54se
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.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgMR2Uz56y
"Sir!" I reported in attention with a salute. "Ease." He said, waving down his hand which held a cigar, his back still facing me.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM0xtIH1aQ
"Nice to have you back. How was your trip?" He asked puffing out smoke. "Successful sir." I say, my head held high.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevzBIBPkBW
Crack
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DdwVBGgbP
"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.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6GEVU2tAH
Thump
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnsKdZeoid
I heard the man's body fall limp on the ground.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVihiyk27EE
But I kept my eyes focused up on Marco's hair. Which was cut short.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEytWxjUD0k
"Congratulations, Dear." He says, finally turning.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBdzvkhlyY
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.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzblt3CBFng
He was Terrifying.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAof3e1yuPY
"All thanks to the Training, Sir." Carefully choosing my words, I answer. I heard him "hmm." in approval.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvwMO2ptLO
"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.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdhhvekinV
Offcourse I did. I was one of the top assassins. I relished it's privileges. I gulped and just nodded unsure what to say.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEBzZ29rux
He quirked a smirk. Dropped the cigar and crushed it under his shoe.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYBODdMgop
I thought back what I did wrong.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVqLgxAxpd
"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.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcNnbiIUIr
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.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mQSbdQuMK
Is that the truth?
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIqKWG7NLz
I never knew he was the person who took me in that day.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED7a6RFJGO
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.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrJNt1Hxp5
My throat clogged up. It was a heavy information to swallow.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaxbdAg8H1
Hell!!
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4AUg2MwZR
It's a Hard Truth to swallow!
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNURLeXFIYw
He kept laughing. But I didn't get the joke. Maybe I am too naive to understand.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfCWmzCmFA
I never wanted to know the bitter truth.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TklJI4bOn
Why is he telling me all this now??
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIHgNhEvCs
I looked up at him In the Eye with a question.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6YxnHopvl
Why?
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1OzXM8niB
"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.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDtPXP09JN
I didn't blink away.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu52rWhuBiP
My shoulders felt heavy.
My heart hurts.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7GBF8DoFo
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.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarTL5l4loX
Be Quiet. Stay smart. Stay safe.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlGBmKxqKW
If he's locking me up so be it. I don't care anymore..
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOBBqc9oyf
..Not for the time being at least.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPiJdWTgo3
"Say hi to your neighbour, Ivana." My body tensed like never before.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB0IhRE00y
My foot suddenly felt to heavy to move as I turned.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHubwgxlTfD
"Zach!" I whispered loud enough for my ears to believe.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8rKcAHLUS
My voice died in my throat.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVl8BhWk9O
But I displayed no emotion,
Because we'd both be dead then.
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6EzW5edWD
But I feared this experienced man must've noticed my suffocation until now.
