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.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDZAlQN1Sk
I expected Derrick to be here but he was oddly not present.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yUtoso0QS
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.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWX6WwdRTP
When I reported back to the headquarters,
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKK2qF4KME
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.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0uweEecpv
The current news deafened all other thoughts.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEhf8JdHim
I was ecstatic!
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ychDCtAQj
He was The director!
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QtMndN9AR
He wanted to personally congratulate me!!
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsNfdwuVvA
So I went.
Before even cleaning myself or seeing if I'm presentable!
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlAYT4lL7c
I was just a gone fangirl.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6meir9wBD
I never saw him. The thought of seeing him in person never crossed my mind. It just happened.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v28ndWuy3
Two guards escorted me, but we changed routes in the middle and instead of going upstairs we went down.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVYFAA6Bed
We entered a dungeon. It was an underground basement.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3Y7BTMjnO
"Bring her here." A deep gruffy voice of an elder echoed from a far cell
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhWE89QEfj
This time the previous guards didn't escorted me further, instead a new pair of armed men lead me to him.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzWa65I86V
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.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMnx0sm3CC
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.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7mY2Fjyz2
But why bring Me here?
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FQYqxKxJZ
All cells were occupied.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov6BjPZWHL
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.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RoFDbcKAH
"Sir!" I reported in attention with a salute. "Ease." He said, waving down his hand which held a cigar, his back still facing me.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5fqzFyRjN
"Nice to have you back. How was your trip?" He asked puffing out smoke. "Successful sir." I say, my head held high.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGxF5OeUNd
Crack
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfWquT7HAh
"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.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQZteKTfD9
Thump
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W0aE6lXfk
I heard the man's body fall limp on the ground.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJfTOVijz8
But I kept my eyes focused up on Marco's hair. Which was cut short.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHorfsOZit
"Congratulations, Dear." He says, finally turning.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJDOebwAOs
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.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY2S58aSfP
He was Terrifying.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVF03CPxTJ
"All thanks to the Training, Sir." Carefully choosing my words, I answer. I heard him "hmm." in approval.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8iMcYuBLq
"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.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJOzKAmk5k
Offcourse I did. I was one of the top assassins. I relished it's privileges. I gulped and just nodded unsure what to say.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrNvI17Amf
He quirked a smirk. Dropped the cigar and crushed it under his shoe.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjJUEMLmmY
I thought back what I did wrong.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC8TzwfcEN
"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.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxZoiYE97m
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.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDhBPjhIAh
Is that the truth?
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfelVu1Yan
I never knew he was the person who took me in that day.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy564h2Tc7
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.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrANMeyTsox
My throat clogged up. It was a heavy information to swallow.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMHlUwey3G
Hell!!
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcXdE0P1XQ
It's a Hard Truth to swallow!
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCxwZ3ejti
He kept laughing. But I didn't get the joke. Maybe I am too naive to understand.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6wLOVOHwd
I never wanted to know the bitter truth.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH8NxGbr3r
Why is he telling me all this now??
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpMiRUsn0z
I looked up at him In the Eye with a question.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPIP1D9EVh
Why?
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi319WWsMc1
"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.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsQiRW9crw
I didn't blink away.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7sChW43Jl
My shoulders felt heavy.
My heart hurts.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD9KdjRcrP
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.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi1oRDDTwt
Be Quiet. Stay smart. Stay safe.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTF9D3UzC8
If he's locking me up so be it. I don't care anymore..
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohroP4DIi1
..Not for the time being at least.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRJyaAGGet
"Say hi to your neighbour, Ivana." My body tensed like never before.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLCqdtW2WC
My foot suddenly felt to heavy to move as I turned.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvSeBxz5a0
"Zach!" I whispered loud enough for my ears to believe.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuRiNaDfO9
My voice died in my throat.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pg29Tr83z
But I displayed no emotion,
Because we'd both be dead then.
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDYkAWuyUf
But I feared this experienced man must've noticed my suffocation until now.
