To be honest it felt good to put Greta in her place. She had done too much and now I wasn't going to take it.

“Scarfaced is responsible for the treacherous killing and butchering we see in pictures and videos”

“So Alfredo is just the name? He's actually harmless?”

“From the looks of things yes”

“Any weaknesses”

“Yes, alcohol”

“As expected”

“You'd mistake him for an alcoholic but it's just an addiction he avoids”

We both giggle

“You know he's actually good looking, handsome I'd say”

“So now you've got eyes for our mark”

I stare at him sarcastically

“Be serious, it's just… it's just umm”

I get lost for words

“A what?”

Carlos mocks me with a laugh 

I clear my throat 

“It's just an observation. Thank. You”

“You're welcome”

The smirk around his lips comes to life.

“So enough about my mark. Tell me about my cover. Who is Maria?”

“Very simple. She is an Italian orphan who is loyal to her masters”

“She sounds like a slave?”

“She's supposed to be

“Is that how Italians like it?”

“That's how mobs like it”

“Tell me about it”

“Maria doesn't exist, she's invisible”

“I get the concept”

“Happy we're on the same page. Now back to our target. The aim is to get as much info as we can get. You're going to have tiny speakers interlaced in your hair”

“Like San Francisco”

I smile as I bring back a memory 

“Like San Francisco”

He replies as he nods. 

“Octavia, you leave tomorrow”

“And?”

“It's an extremely dangerous mission, forget the jokes”

“Don't get emotional”

“But I am”

He swipes his eyelids 

“You've been best friends for as long as I've been working here”

I don't wanna lose you, he hugs me. Even though I'd hate to admit it. I would miss Carlos.

“It's okay you'll make me lose focus if the mission with all these emotions you're sharing”

I retort

“You're right, I'm so sorry”

“It's okay Carlos, I'll miss you too. I don't know how long this mission is gonna take especially with the danger involved it scares me honestly, but I try not to frightened with it especially because the lives of so many will be saved”

“Very true. Our plan is to make sure you succeed not die”

“So Greta said I should give you this bag. You leave for Italy tomorrow, your passport and credentials are here”

I collect the bag, unzip it and go through each of the documents. Why? It's Greta she could try to sabotage me. Once I'm sure everything looks great, I hug Carlos and leave.

“Alright Carlos off to be Maria the disposable invisible slave to the Italian mob”

We both giggled as I closed the door and left the office. On my drive home I realized that I had never imagined myself dying and to be honest, I had never imagined myself doing a lot of things like having a family or falling in love and  running away not even with J who was just a douchebag. What was wrong with me, right in front of me was a mission that I needed by all means to succeed and I was thinking about starting up a family, truly I'm funny.

Got into my apartment and I swear I knew someone was inside waiting for me and to my unfailing surprise who was it, it was J

“If I didn't know you, you'd be dead by now”

“I know”

“What do you want?”

I said as I kept my bag on the kitchen slab.

“I want you”

I looked at him with confusion because I wasn't ready to do this again 

“J get out”

“I won't”

I look at him so furiously, my continent wasn't in the right frame of mind for this

“J get out before I have to kick your ass”

He falls on the floor 

“I won't leave until to you agree to forfeit this mission”

I pull out my passport and travel documents and flash it in his face

“Too late, I leave first thing tomorrow morning. Now get out”

He looks too upset to talk

“Listen I have nothing to tell you, just get out”

Just then J pulls out a gun and shoots himself in the head. I wasn't prepared for this, literally.

    Quickly, I bend my head to hide my face but he seems infuriated."You don't speak?"His voice thunders back at me. Slightly I get infuriated and disgusted. If I was well within my rights I would have attacked him but I didn't. I knew the complications of doing anything that would question my identity, I just had to remember that I was invisible so I maintained my silence. I looked at the floor waiting for whatever decision he would come up with. I was willing to put my pride down, the life of my sister depended on me. "I'm talking to you""I'm I'm so-sorry"I murmured, I didn't want to seem too outspoken I know for sure that it would blow my cover. He walked up to me and slowly he circled me. "Hmm, you don't look bad"He said, usually when a man said that I wouldn't waste my time to take him out but now I was in a situation where I was forced to do nothing and it hurt as hell."So you don't have a name?"He sounded sharp but I couldn't stand him. I couldn't stand people like him who

  • The Mafia Boss and the Spy    Chapter Seven

    The slowest flight I ever had. I tried not to think, for the first time in years I was going on a mission alone. Arriving at the capital I had promised myself to leave all the emotions behind. There was no Carlos, no team just me. Arriving at the village, a small town in Italy, it was very suburban. Nothing like where I was coming from. It reminded me of my family and where I was from. Everyone looked so simple. From descriptions this is where they'd pick their slaves from.At the store house, we were treated less than animals, strict reminders that we were disposable. All we had to do was obey the orders given to us. For the most part, I'd call this human trafficking but they submitted their free will so there was nothing particularly to say. "Move here"One of the men shouted. It was a treacherous room filled with people. I wondered why someone would do this to themselves. After everything we were parked into a truck. Stuffed in like animals. I could see children barely teens. I

    I was sure Greta had it out for me. Right across the room I could see her eyes even though she wore sunglasses. Everyone was sad, including me. Yes! I hated J but I didn't want him to die. It hurt me to see his body lifeless in the casket. It made me feel certain feelings. I could not react, I didn't want to. The entire room was in black, but nobody cried, not even Greta. "It's not your fault"Carlos Whispered to me but I knew I was apportioned blame for this, at least to his mother.I sighed as I paid my last respects to him and threw my flowers on his coffin. Turning around to walk away. I met glances with Greta. Even beneath her shades I could see the look of revenge in her eyes. I knew Greta, I knew her well.I made it to my car, but something felt odd as I turned to the passenger seat. I saw a note opened and it read……I will always love you- JI turn to the steering, and yelled"What kind of sick game is this!"I bang the steering, my chest swells with anger. Opening the door,

  • The Mafia Boss and the Spy    Opening Scene

    My feet were freezing, it was stone cold and it looked like we were going to freeze to death. Lily on my back, I could hear her whimpering. She was still in shock and so was I. A few moments back we were a happy family, I, Lily, Mama and Papa eating breakfast on the table. Mama had just baked bread and Lily was very excited about it. I wasn't sure whether to cherish the moments or not. But life was beautiful. Mama in the kitchen, there was a knock on the door, I didn't really take into account who they were but Papa had gone to open the door. In our old poor home there was a fire place where we made ourselves feel warm. It was a treasure, it stopped us from freezing to death on most winter nights. Everything was so perfect until I heard Papa scream "Miranda", Mama's name followed by a gunshot. Quickly, she rushed us through the back door and told us to run in her words "don't look back" confused but pushed with adrenaline, I held Lily's hand and ran as fast as I could run. Through

    Pictures of dead bodies clouded in front of my eyes. These images were terrifying. Agents that I respected, who worked for the agency butchered. Videos of them being tortured continually played for me to see, was the aim to fill me with fear? Alfredo De El was quite treacherous.“It's okay”I screamed, there was silence and awkward stares then they looked at me again. “Put it off, I've hard enough”Said it like I was giving up. Mumurs continued and the videos didn't stop. I heard screams. I couldn't take it. I just wanted to break loose and leave that place but I couldn't my hands were strapped to the chair. After a few more videos, one of the men standing there got a call, I couldn't hear what he was saying but I was extremely curious. After ending the call he walks up to and removes the straps on my hand. Immediately my hands are free, I use my leg to kick him in his crotch and hit him with a punch. The other two come for me and I swing my leg across the face of one while I I use m
