"Cheers!" we all clink or glasses and drown our drinks.
We are currently back at the base and celebrate our success in killing 2 people in one night. Emily is taking care of Drake's bloody arm. Even though we didn’t come back clean and shiny at least we still in one piece.
I saw Emily grabbing a pinset and pulled the bullet out of it. I smirked as I saw Drake squealed like a fucking little girl.
"You act like a little girl Drake," I said.
"Do you think it- ouch! Give me a little warning or something." He hissed when Emily poured the alcohol into his wound.
"It’s the only way to make you shut up." Emily then continues treating his wound. I poured myself another drink and downed it in one gulp. "Woah, rough night?" Blake commented. "It seems like killing 2 people in just a mere minute kinda taking a toll on me."
Our attention drifts to the television when the news anchor is talking about an accident in an event that is held tonight
"Why are you asking us to plant a small camera in your hotel room?" Austin asks."Because today, Chase and I will be having dinner here in my hotel room. In case anything could go wrong, you guys will know it." I explain. Drake turns to me while crossing his arms over his chest."But don’t you think it’s quite suspicious that he asked you out for a dinner after we killed Wyatt and Gerald later that night?""We’ll just have to wait and see.""Incoming!!" my hotel room burst open revealing Emily holding a dressing-case in her hand. "Look what I found!" she holds out the dressing-case while smiling excitedly. "Why are you so excited?" I scrunched my eyebrow in confusion.She closes the door and walked towards us. "Because you have to dress to impress." Crossing my arms over my chest, I looked at her raising my eyebrow. "So you mean I have to dress to impress him before I’ll kill him?""Yeah, what’s wrong w
"Hi," I greeted with a soft smile grazing my lips."Hey, you look beautiful." I looked down shyly. "Thanks. Come in." Opening the door wide, I let Chase in then close the door. "Nice hotel room."I lead him to the balcony where our dinner is place. I settled myself at the seat and so is Chase. "Oh, this is for you. A beautiful red rose for a beautiful lady."Chuckling, I took the bouquet from him. "Thank you very much. You sure know how to charm a woman.""I try." I put the rose down. "So how are you?" Chase asks. "I’m great. How about you? Busy lately?""You could say that. Since my uncle died, I have to take over his company for a while and wait till his son is older to run the company.""I’m sorry to hear that.""It’s fine." He looked out to the view."If you don’t mind me asking, how did your uncle died?""The autopsy report said that he had been poison.""Did you find the person yet?"
Hissing in pain as Emily clean the cut and wound on my face. She told me the side of my eyebrow got cut and my lips too. She also told me there will be a bruise on my cheeks and my left eye since Chase punches me pretty hard.To add my pain, I currently have a headache courtesy to Chase that made my head collide with a concrete floor."Ruby! You okay?" Blake burst in, looking at me worriedly. I shoot him a weak smile. "I’m okay just a little hurt." He went to my side. "I told you to be careful." I chuckled lightly. "I was being really careful but I think Chase just has a good feeling.""How did he know?" Drake asks. I shrugged. "I honestly don’t know. From the very start, he was acting quite off and he kept looking at me suspiciously. I mean you guys heard how many times he emphasizes my name right?" they nodded their heads."And I got a feeling that he has found out about it.""But after that, what are you guys talking about?" sighing,
After my encounter with Chase, I head back to the base. As I arrived, I quickly made my way to my room not bother to stop and look at my friends questioning eyes. Sighing as I lean back to the door. I sat at the edge of the bed then laid down. As I stare at the white ceiling, I can’t help but chuckle.I only have 5 days left to kill. And I saw Chase in front of my fucking eyes with no witnesses other than Fred. But something inside me prevents me from doing it. Honestly, I’m confused at myself either. Like, since when I have a heart of gold. I’ve known as a cold-hearted assassin that won’t give a second chance to people.But why am I hesitating?Groaning, I cover my face with both of my palms. Michael was right, I fucked up.The door of my room opens and I don’t bother to look up. "Something caught your mind?" my head perked up and I saw Blake crossing his arms over his chest while leaning to the door frame. I laid my head ba
I arrived home around 3 o’clock. I make sure to not cause a sound as I head to my room. I change into my pajamas and went to bed but of course, because of that incident, is hard for me to sleep. Heck, I can’t even close my eyes as the memories that I have with Chase came rushing back to me.Tossing and turning for god knows how long, I sighed and decided to train. Hopefully, it will distract me from thinking about my memories with Chase.I changed into my sports attire and head down to the basement. Turning the lights on, I immediately went to the punching bag after wrapping my hands with bandages. I don’t know how long I box until I heard the sound of a bird chirping outside. Wiping the sweat on my forehead, I walked to the fridge and took a bottle of water.Opening the cap, I drink the water. After taking a short break, I continue to train. The sound of footsteps making their way downstairs alert me but I didn’t stop. I keep punching th
Do you know how it feels when people looked at you like you committed a crime for the first time in your life? Even though you have committed a lot of it but it felt like you have just done something bad for the first time.Yeah, now I can relate to that.5 people that are in this room are currently looking at me like I’ve just killed someone. The looked of shocked, confused and curious are etched on their faces. Right now, I felt like a baby that has been caught naked."You said, everything happens because of you?" Blake asked. I nodded my head still remaining calm."What do you mean by that?" I cleared my throat and rubbed the nape of my neck. "Well, you see, I may do something unexpected.""What did you did?" Drake asked with a frown etched on his face. "I-"Blake walked forward and put his hands up to stop me from talking. "Wait, is this have something to do with you sneaking out?" guess there is no way to hide anymore. Sighing, I
I throw some rock at the lake and just stare at the horizon blankly. I switch my gaze to the moon that reflects from the water. I heard footsteps coming but I didn’t turn back, I kept looking at the water. Then I see Blake's reflection from the water.The two of us didn’t utter a single word. Silence surrounded us, only the sound of cricket that we both heard."If you want to ask about what I said, you better not cause I won’t explain anything," I said coldly. I heard Blake sighed."I’m not going to ask anything. I’m here to see if you are okay.""Now that you have seen me, can you please go?" instead of hearing him walk away, he sat next to me. Sighing, I ignore him and continue to throw some rock. "Remember that day when we were in Italy, you sneak out in the middle of the night? Only to find you sitting on the ground staring at the lake?""How can I forget? It has been a week of me staying in that hellhole after Mor
Crossing my arms as I stared at the night forest through the window. I can’t stop thinking about Chase's conversation and me. He said he wants to see me. I’m quite curious as to why Chase wanted to see me but at the same time, I feel a little nervous. I don’t know why.A sigh escapes my lips as I kept contemplating about it. I flinched when someone wraps an arm around my waist. "Thinking about something?""Nothing.""Really? Cause I’m sure you didn’t hear me when I open your door." Blake moved beside me. "I just have a lot on mind.""Tell me then." Should I tell him about my conversation with Chase? But if I tell him, I will be left with two choices. One, Blake will follow me or two, he won’t allow e to go. And I want neither of it. So I think I won’t tell him. Maybe some other time if I must too."You’re spacing out." I turned to him. "Huh?""You space out. What’s wrong? This is unlike y
