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.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqHIUS9Yjg
I expected Derrick to be here but he was oddly not present.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bLM5jU5ql
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.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPpMH2IpaH
When I reported back to the headquarters,
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyidI0wvD2B
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.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGCgGwIFK8
The current news deafened all other thoughts.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXFDmcxjkB
I was ecstatic!
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7ofcKQtRa
He was The director!
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFy7Q3I7AM
He wanted to personally congratulate me!!
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYIpKWqrHE
So I went.
Before even cleaning myself or seeing if I'm presentable!
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCqZaxmKjM
I was just a gone fangirl.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaiEpVt5Kx
I never saw him. The thought of seeing him in person never crossed my mind. It just happened.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgUJa7SdA9
Two guards escorted me, but we changed routes in the middle and instead of going upstairs we went down.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdG8RpG8JK
We entered a dungeon. It was an underground basement.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOAOUYYbuR
"Bring her here." A deep gruffy voice of an elder echoed from a far cell
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3Exswc319
This time the previous guards didn't escorted me further, instead a new pair of armed men lead me to him.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSdjzxIPZo
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.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbNN7qj0KS
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.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP958nrADqr
But why bring Me here?
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujy2D4SDnu
All cells were occupied.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk4sjDiCJq
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.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnDPlnOjzA
"Sir!" I reported in attention with a salute. "Ease." He said, waving down his hand which held a cigar, his back still facing me.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRGpFa8ugq
"Nice to have you back. How was your trip?" He asked puffing out smoke. "Successful sir." I say, my head held high.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpRN6rydjH
Crack
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW1g7g68t5
"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.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsSvLrFrFd
Thump
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe49CHc6BKS
I heard the man's body fall limp on the ground.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHBZXbRfGm
But I kept my eyes focused up on Marco's hair. Which was cut short.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfqn6YfIb8
"Congratulations, Dear." He says, finally turning.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQQNoHbmno
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.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1XzUI7VxW
He was Terrifying.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyMi6ckDMR
"All thanks to the Training, Sir." Carefully choosing my words, I answer. I heard him "hmm." in approval.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3ewbI7sdp
"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.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZnnHkjzlY
Offcourse I did. I was one of the top assassins. I relished it's privileges. I gulped and just nodded unsure what to say.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE0bpqsRzf
He quirked a smirk. Dropped the cigar and crushed it under his shoe.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFv1Kq7Ggk
I thought back what I did wrong.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXsHwU6kRZ
"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.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBbNIBnxpe
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.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM4bfyN9VE
Is that the truth?
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR5rXNzatu
I never knew he was the person who took me in that day.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcY8ENVFEo
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.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yVjhtpV7o
My throat clogged up. It was a heavy information to swallow.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJbKSD6gMx
Hell!!
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7mNh6LMjp
It's a Hard Truth to swallow!
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sOFw4MrRc
He kept laughing. But I didn't get the joke. Maybe I am too naive to understand.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCYjd9XP3Q
I never wanted to know the bitter truth.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5X49KNYh5
Why is he telling me all this now??
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0yAJzZNP4
I looked up at him In the Eye with a question.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ8SPcCDds
Why?
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzCzfl2vi2
"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.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT4xmyzsKp
I didn't blink away.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOvK5IV2ts
My shoulders felt heavy.
My heart hurts.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTERe7GzjJ
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.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnLpmTVWQF
Be Quiet. Stay smart. Stay safe.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t3KCsOzU9
If he's locking me up so be it. I don't care anymore..
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet320uqwCE
..Not for the time being at least.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA1VPhddmJ
"Say hi to your neighbour, Ivana." My body tensed like never before.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuzNwdEnPW
My foot suddenly felt to heavy to move as I turned.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjjtbIbfmW
"Zach!" I whispered loud enough for my ears to believe.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOpLwsRgZM
My voice died in my throat.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwKAq7VChf
But I displayed no emotion,
Because we'd both be dead then.
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsruWfZgCQ
But I feared this experienced man must've noticed my suffocation until now.
