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.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0Iyhqfx74
I expected Derrick to be here but he was oddly not present.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9J1t8TCX1
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.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSmbCZTiKX
When I reported back to the headquarters,
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIThIA1SQSt
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.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl919u7yccF
The current news deafened all other thoughts.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo1afgX31b
I was ecstatic!
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94FYOmD7s0
He was The director!
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE2VXC2uVS
He wanted to personally congratulate me!!
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdx9N3nSTR
So I went.
Before even cleaning myself or seeing if I'm presentable!
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgCslAhPU6
I was just a gone fangirl.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW0JL2dDMY
I never saw him. The thought of seeing him in person never crossed my mind. It just happened.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1KiWnAhQc
Two guards escorted me, but we changed routes in the middle and instead of going upstairs we went down.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyUdZVFAT3
We entered a dungeon. It was an underground basement.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIk2EVDa7r
"Bring her here." A deep gruffy voice of an elder echoed from a far cell
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8ijYBRp5M
This time the previous guards didn't escorted me further, instead a new pair of armed men lead me to him.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMVDU5Kp8R
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.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUid9KFKynq
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.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyROp3cZF6S
But why bring Me here?
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzLweVwnEa
All cells were occupied.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqT5WGShKt
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.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs88MEnK9aU
"Sir!" I reported in attention with a salute. "Ease." He said, waving down his hand which held a cigar, his back still facing me.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MlysViUfn
"Nice to have you back. How was your trip?" He asked puffing out smoke. "Successful sir." I say, my head held high.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49s2gQqCih
Crack
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF8hHACtOI
"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.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiippA02fL
Thump
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk5AXJu2no
I heard the man's body fall limp on the ground.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWydjexQCL
But I kept my eyes focused up on Marco's hair. Which was cut short.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxrW0IMBHK
"Congratulations, Dear." He says, finally turning.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQtK8PpY5s
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.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmyxqQvfl7
He was Terrifying.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVkWyFAywI
"All thanks to the Training, Sir." Carefully choosing my words, I answer. I heard him "hmm." in approval.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmGM0y59Qv
"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.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbta2S8kR5I
Offcourse I did. I was one of the top assassins. I relished it's privileges. I gulped and just nodded unsure what to say.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomumEgZrw1
He quirked a smirk. Dropped the cigar and crushed it under his shoe.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAb9BGO2cU
I thought back what I did wrong.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ts0eMxM6N
"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.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnh1CJ0RHb
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.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sBbgV4gIf
Is that the truth?
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6AkQbFn9h
I never knew he was the person who took me in that day.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcAMEdn3IF
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.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fZx3oGlze
My throat clogged up. It was a heavy information to swallow.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto7EIIHcXI
Hell!!
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p6glL33H9
It's a Hard Truth to swallow!
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eg623qy7t
He kept laughing. But I didn't get the joke. Maybe I am too naive to understand.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DE2TNUmzi
I never wanted to know the bitter truth.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjXKvNMKjn
Why is he telling me all this now??
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2MvXM8YpS
I looked up at him In the Eye with a question.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHvSaekIub
Why?
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnMScT8Syr
"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.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLvAwhKV7e
I didn't blink away.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJWHXXJ5fG
My shoulders felt heavy.
My heart hurts.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSNJpIwQRk
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.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz4pcBnwuH
Be Quiet. Stay smart. Stay safe.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbESBme8NsP
If he's locking me up so be it. I don't care anymore..
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBSrYDlnOE
..Not for the time being at least.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuQwGKnImQ
"Say hi to your neighbour, Ivana." My body tensed like never before.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXH8biBpvQ
My foot suddenly felt to heavy to move as I turned.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdmaafNaqZ
"Zach!" I whispered loud enough for my ears to believe.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG67XuN3fWV
My voice died in my throat.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b01HXAl4e
But I displayed no emotion,
Because we'd both be dead then.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoOvXD87p7
But I feared this experienced man must've noticed my suffocation until now.
