"Agent Torres, Agent Darren, my office. Now!" Chief Keef barked from the doorway.

Paul and I exchanged a panicked glance before scampering out of seats and rushing after the chief as he marched away.

"You told him?" I hissed as we walked side by side to the office at the very back.

"No." He replied curtly.

We were yet to discuss why I was on the cruise ship the previous night. As soon as I had gotten home last night, I had dropped into my bed and fallen asleep. Unfortunately, my exhausted sleep was cut short by the same nightmare that had plagued me for years.

I had expected Paul to Corner me as soon as I walked into the station this morning, but he had been surprisingly patient. It was both a relief and a cause for anxiety.

Why was he being so lax about everything?

"Close the door." The chief said, heightening my suspicion.

I could feel my stomach squeezing into knots, and my hands suddenly felt clammy. I dragged them over the material of my pants surreptitiously, hopin

  • A deal with the devil   Survival instinct

    NinaI knew I was toast the moment I ran, but the only other option was staying right there and everything inside of me protested at the thought of obeying Santiago. And so I ran. My breath came out short and fast as I pushed through overgrown grass, muscles pumping as I pushed my body as hard as I could. I didn't have any clear destination, and there was probably nothing for miles, and yet I kept on running. Panic gripped me like a vice, squeezing my chest tight as I heard grasses ruffling a distance away. He was coming for me. "Run, Nina." His dark voice drawled behind me, faint enough that I knew he wasn't close, but still, chills still raced up my spine. He can't harm you, a voice in my head pointed out. I ignored it. This wasn't about Santiago hurting me. It was about power, defiance, that dangerous thing that I'd been dancing around since the moment I ran into him at the warehouse. It was about the glint in his eyes when he looked at me, the way his fingers had curled te

  • A deal with the devil   Mine to handle

    Rafael"And then she fell off the fire escape." Tony concluded his report. By then, my jaw was already clenched so tight that it was a miracle my teeth hadn't cracked and shattered. Trading guns and drugs while trying to keep up the facade of the perfect, philanthropic business man was nothing compared to trying to keep that foolhardy cop out of harm's way. For the millionth time, I asked myself why I even cared. It would be far easier to sit back and watch her dig her own grave. By the look of things, she was already half way done with the digging anyway. So why had I hired someone to babysit her? Tony's skills were costing me a pretty penny and he was probably confused as to why he was being made to watch over an FBI agent. He was a top rated and sought after mercenary, not a bodyguard. "Is that all?" I asked. He shrugged, looking bored. "The police spoke to her, combed through her building and my location on the rooftop across from hers." "Good. Continue trailing her." I sai

  • A deal with the devil   Unwelcome guests

    Nina "I can't believe Paul let you go there!" My best friend hissed over the phone as I trudged home from work the night after our near death experience at The Sprawl. "Let me?" I scoffed. "I don't need Paul's permission. I'm a full grown_" "Don't you dare say adult, because no self preservating adult in their right senses would go anywhere within a ten mile radius of that place." Katy spat out the last word like calling it a place was an affront on it's own. I cursed myself silently for even letting it slip that I had gone to The Sprawl. In my defense, Katy was as persuasive as they came. She was a living lie detector. I had tried to steer the conversation in a million different directions but she had kept on pressing till the truth had come tumbling out. "Katy_""I don't even want to talk to you right now." She cut me off with a growl."I needed to get answers." I sighed. "You could have died there. And I wouldn't have had any idea where to even recover your body from." She ma

  • A deal with the devil   Whispers from underneath

    Rafael "How many crates?" Russell asked as he sucked on his Cuban cigar, shrewd gaze taking in the van that was being offloaded. "Ten. There are six containing military level, untraceable machinery, while the others have your crystals." I replied. His mouth curved into an excited smile. "Excellent. I knew doing business with you was the right call." I nodded in agreement. Russell suddenly glanced over at me, one eyebrow cocked. "You know, Santiago, you could make a whole lot more money if you dappered in the flesh business. All the big league gangs and operations have shares and influence in the_" "I don't deal in people." I cut him off coldly. A rule I’d bled for. One I wouldn’t break, no matter what rumors said.He smirked, looking undeterred. "So you say, but that's not what I hear." "Oh?" I asked, trying to keep my irritation off my face. He pulled his cigar out and blew smile into the air while rubbing a hand over his chin. Russell was old-school crime—Godfather fantasie

  • A deal with the devil   The price of knowing

    Nina "Get in there and get rid of them." I heard someone snarl. "But the boss wanted the girl alive." Another voice argued. "Change of plans." The first person replied. "The bitch now knows too much. She's become a problem. Kill her, kill 'em both." My stomach dropped, and a faint ringing began in my ear. I crawled over to where Paul lay unmoving. Relief spread through me when I saw that his chest was rising and falling. There were specks of blood on his face and a dark red circle spreading over the shoulder of his white dress shirt. "Paul." I shook his shoulder, but the only response I got was a deep grunt. In the distance I could hear the sounds of guns cocking and boots crunching on the gravel as the killers inched toward the camper van. I was injured, had no weapons, an unconscious partner and we were surrounded. No one was coming.Not the neighbors.Not the cops.As Paul had said, this was the place people went to disappear. No cop in their right senses would come all the

  • A deal with the devil   The Trap

    Nina "Are you sure about this?" Paul asked as we crawled underneath the wire fence surrounding the sprawl. "No. But it's a little too late to back out now." I told him just as the hem of my dress caught on something sharp. The ripping sound was too loud in the silence that surrounded us. I cursed under my breath as I accepted the fact that this dress wouldn't be anything more than rags by the end of the night. We waded forward anyway. The Sprawl wasn't what i had been expecting. When Paul had described the place, I had envisioned some run down buildings, a sad looking street and camper Vans. But the reality was far worse. It had the same feel as an isolated radioactive town in a horror movie, with a crooked warning sign dangling from the wire fence. A big part of me was reconsidering my decision to come here at night, but I pushed the terror away. D7 was probably dead, and if that was true, then whatever he’d uncovered had been worth killing for. I needed to find out what that
