Sofia jolted up from her bed at the sound of her alarm clock going off, she rubbed her eyes and sighed as she clicked the alarming ring off. She stretched her body for five minutes before swinging her body from the bed and straight to the floor. Sofia walked to her full-length mirror and examined her body, another scare added on her body from all her adventures. She hated that every time she needed to take a bath, she would have to look at her body.
This part of her was hidden, her emotions were hidden, Sofia only ever showed herself to one person and even that until this day felt like a mistake. He saw her at her weakest, and she never wanted anyone knowing her weakness. Sofia turned away from the mirror and walked into her bathroom. She turned on the tap and full her bathtub with warm water. She immediately stripped from her clothes and soaked her body into the tub.
The morning was the only time she could give herself therapy because the moment she stepped out of her room, that’s when time for herself would fly out of the window and she would return to her usual robot and strict self. Sofia finished her bath and dressed in all black body suit and walked out of her room, straight into the corridor. Her black badge with gold lines shinned brightly as she continued to walk down the corridor until she reached the doors of the cafeteria and stood still, watching the people move around, eat food, and talk to each other.
“Grim reaper.” Sofia said as she placed her hand on the door scanner.
“Access granted.’ A voice responded and the doors opened for Sofia. She stepped inside the cafeteria and instantly all eyes were on her, the room grew quiet as she walked by to pick up a tray for food. Sofia took her food and moved to seat with her crew, that’s when everyone returned to their conversation and food.
“Captain, you are late today.” Alex said as he munched on the food on his plate.
“I don’t remember owing you anything Alex, is there something you wanted from me?” Sofia asked him as she stopped to stare at him dead in the face.
“Who put a stick up your ass Sofia?” Alexia asked, the only person to ever call Sofia by her name and speak to her freely since her appointment as captain seven years ago.
“Okay, can we not get into a heated argument this time of the day?” Becca spoke up as she raised her arms in the air as a sign to surrender.
‘I agree with Becca, can we please keep the reputation that we all get along well.” O’Brian interjected.
“We don’t need to keep up anything because we already get along well together. I just can’t say the same about Alexia.” Ronda said as she snorted in irritation.
“Are we going to start it here because I’m reader to take you on baggage.” Alexia said angrily.
‘Why don’t you all quiet down, play nice and resume all your frustration on the training grounds? I am trying to eat my food and all your voices are drowning the taste of my food.” Sofia said looking at them in complete irritation.
“Now that’s something I can agree with.” Wyatt finally spoke up and Mica nodded besides him in agreement. The table grew quiet, and everyone returned to eating their breakfast. At that moment the doors to the cafeteria opened and the Elite guards stood at the door with a grace-pad in hand.
“An announcement, all please pay attention.” One of the guards said as he waited for every to stay still so he can speak. People in the cafeteria finally stopped eating, turned to give the guards their full attention.
“Grim reaper, captain of the Death Squad you are to meet Master Carlos at 10:am.” The guard said as he slide his finger across the pad and spoke again.
‘Blade runner, captain of the Killer Squad you are to meet Master Carlos at 11:am.” Blade runner rolled his eyes and looked away from the guard speaking.
“Terminator, captain of the Blood Squad you are to meet Master Carlos at 12:00pm.” Terminator nodded with a smile on her face looking rather happy to see the Master.
“Extinguisher, captain of the War Squad you are to meet Master Carlos at 13:00pm.” The guard finally finished and put the grace-pad on his side, they saluted and walked out of the cafeteria.
Sofia sighed clearly annoyed that they were being summoned again, she wasn’t in the mood to exchange words with that annoying old man but it’s not like she had a choice.
“I’ll be off now, remember that we meet at the training grounds in one hour, make sure none of you are late or they will be hell to pay for.” Sofia said as she stood from her seat and looked at them as they all nodded in agreement besides Alexia. She decided that she was not going to deal with her attitude now, but she would surely punish her cockiness later.
Sofia continued to walk away, leaving her tray on the counter, and walking out of the cafeteria and the direction straight to Master Carlos’ office. She reached the office, knocked once, and didn’t wait for a response and she opened his door and walked in.
“Well, why don’t you make yourself at home?” Master Carlos said as he took a sip of his whiskey.
“Don’t you think it is a little too early for alcohol?” Sofia asked, taking a seat in front of Master Carlos.
“There is never a better time drink alcohol, for me I gave even drink alcohol in my sleep.”
“What do you want Carlos?” Sofia questioned.
“You know that you and Alexia have very funny characters. Only you two dare to speak to me in such a manner.” Master Carlos said and took another sip before putting the glass back on the table.
“It is what it is don’t you think? I’ll ask you again, what you want? Sofia asked again, getting impatient with all the suspense.
“The higher ups have a big job that needs to be taken care off, so we are evaluating the captain’s to see which time has the best fit for the job.”
“They are always demanding something.” Sofia said looking at Master Carlos to continue.
“I personally think you guys will make it.” Master Carlos said with confidence.
“What fish do we have to fry Carlos?”
“The one and only, notorious Mafia Don in Orthus. Don Russo.” Master Carlos said with a hint of glitter in his eyes.
Kara sighed because she knew that planning the perfect plan will be hell and might take weeks because they will be going up against an entire Mafia, “Since were done I’ll be off.” Kara said and left Carlos in the room with his words and thoughts.
Sofia left Master Carlos’ office feeling very uneasy. She always welcomed big jobs but lately it seemed like their targets were more prepared when they came to assassinate their targets. She could feel her brain calculating the odds that there was a spy in their mist, and she was ready to find out who is behind all their troubles. Sofia walked down the hallway and came face-to-face the Blade Runner, captain of the killer squad.“Sofia…” He said dragging her name on his lips.“Adrian, don’t you look glad to see me.” Sofia said as she stepped back to take a good look at his face because he was taller than her.“You have been avoiding me these days, everyone can see it.” He said with a disturbed expression on his face, something he always did when he was upset about something.“When did you start caring about what people say? I didn’t take you for that type.” Sofia said, sounding very a
“Please spare me, I didn’t mean to betray you, please.” The man cried as his face was bloody and unrecognisable. “I wonder if that’s what came to your mind when you were leaking information about my organisation.” A man seated on a chair in front of the bleeding man said with a breezy voice. “I swear I had no choice they told me if I didn’t do it, they would kill my entire family, spare me boss please.” The man pleaded for his life as he dropped his head on the ground, his sobbing mixed with his cracking voice from lack of water. “I know the feeling for losing a loved one, but what pisses me off is that you were afraid of someone else’s threat rather than your own boss.” The man on the chair said as he stood up from it and walked towards the bleeding man and crouched to his level. “Boss, I must have been out of my mind. You are scarier than they were.” The man said and grabbed the man in charge by the legs and continued cry. The boss shock the
Alexia and many others were in the training grounds today, she personally liked the punching bag in the corner because she didn’t have to interact with others.She spent most of her time in this specific corner and punched away until she felt she couldn’t go on. Alexia wasn’t in the mood to deal with the squad, so she had made sure to skip breakfast and as she came straight down to the training grounds, where everyone had arrived after finishing their breakfast.Alexia was known as the meanest in their squad but all she ever wanted was to be recognised for her skills. She hated being vice-captain as much as she hated being second place at everything to Sofia. Alexia couldn’t remember the last time she had an unaggressive conversation with her.All sorts of angry thoughts and jealousy were the tools that kept her motivated and pushed her over her limits. Alexia couldn’t understand why Adrian wasted his time trying to love Sofia when
Sofia was fuming with anger because Alexia chose to disrespect her authority in front of everyone. She should have known better than to accept a challenge issued by a captain from another team. Alexia is lucky that she had interfered because Sofia has faced Bianca before and knew how dirty she fought and when she would execute a deadly blow. Sofia was on her way to the hallway for all the captain’s bedroom when she heard hurrying footsteps behind her until the hand touched her right shoulder. Sofia stopped and slightly turned her head to look at the person who dared touch her without her permission, only to see Adrian. “What do you want Adrian?’ Sofia asked him, as she turned to fully face him. “Sofia, why did you have to do that?’ He asked her. “What are you referring too?’ Sofia threw the question right back at him knowing exactly what he wanted to hear from her. Adrian sighed as his hands rose to hold Sofia on her shoulders. “I know she bro
Alice was down at the home gym punching the punching bag. Although her brother is a Don, he had made it clear that he didn’t want her in that life. Alice felt that they were just a bunch of sexist people because they felt she was too soft to handle a fight. Giovanni’s mafia did not have any females, according to him it was unnecessary because they would be of great inconvenience. Alice thought it was bullshit because she believed that women could do a lot of things easier than men. She continued to punch the bag, but her punches did not have much of an impact. The door to the gym suddenly open and Antonio walked in and spotted her. She turned around at the sound of the door opening and saw her brother, Alice sighed at his presence and turned back to her punching. “You are never going to improve with such small blows.” Antonio said in a mocking tone. “You and Gio are probably happy about that.” Alice said frustrated. “Alice, you know that Gio just want
The woman who easily and skilfully killed those four men quickly fled from the scene after telling the two woman who hide it was clear to come out. Alice and Ashely emerged from their hiding spot. Ashely was shaking from witnessing such a sight, while Alice was shocked that, that woman could kill four big guys so easily without needing a gun. “Ma’am did you see what I saw?” Ashley said as her body shock violently. “I did but please don’t worry my brother will be here in no time.” Alice said, trying to calm down. They both walked closer to the scene and there was blood splatter everywhere. Alice did not know if she could clean up this blood or not before the police showed up. She did not know what she would tell them so all she could hope for is for Gio to get here first before the police. “What do we do? Do we clean up here or wait for the police? What if we get framed for this?” Ashley said and stuttered at the same time. “Get a hold of yourself damn
ONE DAY BEFORESofia stormed out of Master Carlos’s room upset that she got dragged into all of this drama. Bianca looked shaken for an assassin and Alexia for the first time actually felt guilty after hearing what the punishment is. She jogged after Sofia to offer an apology she swore would not come from her mouth, but she was afraid that if she did not do so her position on the team would be compromised.“Captain…” Alexia said as her hand touched Sofia’s shoulder to stop her from walking.“Get your hands off me Alexia.” Sofia said as she turned to look at Alexia. Bianca rolled her eyes at them and continued down the hallway without throwing a comment for the first time.“Please accept my apology.” Alexia said as she attempted to kneel.“Don’t bother Alexia. You do not need to show me respect when the mess has already happened. Sometimes I wonder if you really deserve my respect. I
PRESENT DAYTinx23 JULX 3050Sofia and the squad were back at their base after cutting their shopping trip short. She taught to herself that she was mad for having considered to go out after the punishment she received yesterday. Bianca and Alexia could hardly move properly but here she was parading about.Sofia was in pain alright, but she kept the pain hidden so not to satisfy Madam Lee. She hated that woman and that woman hated her just as much. She walked quickly so that nobody could stop and talk to her because she was not in the mood for socialising with anyone. Unfortunately, Sofia was not in luck because she came face to face with Master Carlos, who looked like a hurt puppy. She wanted to ignore him, but she knew she could not because he was her superior.Sofia stared at him and proceeded to bow her head in respect and greeted him civilly.“Good day, Master Carlos.” Sofia said with no hint of emotion in her tone.
