JANE

My period should’ve come five days ago. What am I missing?

God… please don’t let it be that...

I dig through the drawer again, my fingers frantic as they shove past sanitary pads, wipes, tubes of Replens. The unopened box of tampons still sits there, untouched -proof of a habit - I wasn't ever a fan of tampons. My chest tightens as I keep searching.

Then I find it - My birth-control card. I pull it out with shaking fingers and count.

One. Two. Three... I should be holding an empty pack.

I missed three pills - guilty!

I knew I was missing it, yet Quinn and I had been having sex non-stop for days and I knew what would happen. Perhaps, I secretly expected this to happen. So why was I shocked and scared now?

I felt tiny tingles of cold on my forehead and my palm flew up to find it was beads of sweat. I wipe it off at once, knowing well, the cause.

I’ve been holding that pee for too long.

I rush to the toilet as fast as my heavy bladder allows, barely shutting the door before relief

    QUINN"Master of Disguise - that's what he was called." Mario murmurs from beside me and I nod."I'm not surprised. That's exactly what he was."After I killed Igor, I made sure to locate his house and have it checked for useful information. After his computers and belongings were put to check, Venice came to discover that Igor wasn't the fragile 52 year old man he pretended to be. He went by the name Chameleon Hue - an infamous assassin that worked for many secret organizations across the continent.He didn't stop after he came from jail. All he had to do was use his body frame to his advantage and look like a harmless cafe man. But in the night, he was a demon that slithered through the alleys and reaped lives out. I fell for it too."It seems his daughter left when she found out. So he wanted to take the job and earn a decent money from it for her sake.""No, I don't think she knows," I chew on my lip. "Find her and have Igor's savings transfered to her. But if she really ran off

    JANEI find my fingers recoiling into my palms as I watched the man whose face brought back a long line of dark memories surging through me.He didn't change -Those eyes were still the same. Nothing to show as a man who had been through the cell. Or one who had reversed his ways. Nothing changed. Mario pulled the iron bars open so that we could see him clearly. My eyes burned as he fixed his on mine. Then his gaze rolls off like I'm nothing, landing back on Quinn. "You could've just killed me already!" He growled the moment Mario tore the tape off his mouth."Why? Two days of starvation, too much for you to handle?" Quinn asked. "I'm still here," He pointed to his stomach"And so are you,” he pointed back to Igor's leg.That's when I see - dripping blood from what looked like a bullet wound to the calf."What do you want with me?" He pants like his life is draining out of him. His face is swollen and his shirt soaked in sweat and bloodstains."Reflection, admittance, apologies, and p

    QUINN“Wait. Wait. Wait!” then SHIMM!The slash comes with the sound, sharp and wet, and I jolt awake. I push my head up from the pillow and a sharp pain is sent to my waist.I hiss, my hand flying to the wound.I blink hard, the room coming into focus till I see her figure. Lucia's perched awkwardly on a chair by the table, elbow propped, fist tucked under her cheek. Her eyes are closed, her head tilted at an angle that tells me she didn’t mean to fall asleep like that.God, no! She’s uncomfortable, but clearly too exhausted to fight the sleep.I grunt as I force myself upright. For a moment, the pain locks me in place, then it recedes, scattering through my entire body until it all fades and I feel almost nothing... except her. I reach for the robe hanging on the closet hook and slide my arms into it, tugging it over my shoulders.The bandage on my wound is soaked through, brown-red blooming against the white. I clutch the plackets, drawing the robe closed to cover it. Lucia does

    JANE My hands were constantly tapping at the table as I watched the clock. It was already a few minutes to midnight. Quinn should've been back by now. I paced back to my room and slithered up my bed, hugging my legs. When my eyes fell back to the reading table, they lingered for a while. I'd probably wake up to meet him sitting up there in the morning. Watching me.But he wasn't.The door pushed open and Emily hurried in, packing up my curtains for the late morning.Something didn't feel right. "Is Quinn back?" I asked."No ma'am," She said quickly and hurried into the bathroom to get my bath ready.I shake my head, getting up. "Why isn't he back?" "I don't know, ma'am. It's not in my place to know. He's usually away this much... Sometimes," she bends down to fix the bed sheets, her bob hair falling down her face."If something happened to Quinn, tell me!" She stood her face tightening suddenly."El jefe is a strong man. Nothing would happen to him," She said that she was ass

    QUINNVenice pulls over beneath the sky’s blackened canopy, near the flickering streetlights. I drop my hoody and step out, my movements slow, until I slid into the seat beside her.“I bet I never asked you this before,” she said, eyes forward. “You sure about this?”“Yes.” I cock my pistol and her gaze linger on me with clear readable doubts. “You found this man for me. Shouldn’t I be the hesitant one?”She exhaled. “Yeah. He’s the one. That’s Igor. But I’ve never seen you hunt someone down for someone else. Rather people do it for you.”“He wronged me,” I said, pushing the gun back into my pocket and pulling my hood up. “I told you before.”“You’re doing it for that girl, aren’t you?”I bit down on my lip for a few seconds before reaching across her side of the door and pulling it open. “I owe you one, V.”She shrugs. “Nope. You only owe me my balance.” She stepped out of the car.I reached for my pocket and stretched out a card to her. She stands eyeing it for some seconds."Have M
