“Robert, slow down!” I yell and he joins the other cars on the right lane.“You’re going to kill us!” I say loudly as a laugh escapes my lips.The traffic is a bit free and he uses that to his advantage.“Whooo!” He yells excitingly as he continues to increase the speed of the SUV.Soon we are on the freeway, and there are less cars, which gives Robert more confidence to speed up.He glances at me for a quick moment, and I catch a glimpse of how carefree he looks. When his eyes meet mine for that quick second, my heart skips a beat. Somebody help me, I’m falling for this man.The car begins to slow down a bit, and the wind flowing through the windows are incredibly strong.I chose a bad day to let my hair down. Now it’s flying all over the place.“Where are you taking me?” I ask him once the car has reached a moderate speed.“Where else? At my house.” He says without looking at me. A smile plays on his lips, and I can’t stop staring at how pink the

A sharp pain arrests my nose and I let out a string of cusses.The white air bag is still inflated and I begin to pat it down until it deflates.I cough a few times as I try to get full awareness of what has happened.When I look forward, I see Victor’s car upside down as smoke rises from it. It is badly smashed, but what startles me is that I see the man crawling from in the almost destroyed vehicle.“Oh no you don’t.” I say as I try to remove myself from the car. The entire front of my car is smashed in, and if it was smashed in a few inches more, I would have been dead.“Come off.” I say as I try to free myself from my seatbelt. It won’t come loose.When I look forward again, I see that Victor has successfully escaped his car, which could blow up anytime, due to the amount of smoke coming from it.I try my best to reach in my leather jacket, and I remove my dagger. When I do, I slice the seatbelt off, and I open the door of my car.When I try to stand, my

“Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Spongebob Squarepants!”What am I hearing.My eyes flutters open, and the first person I see is Chad.Wait, Chad? Chad is supposed to be in London. He lives there.“Chad?” I try to speak, but my voice barely comes out.He is sitting on the floor next to me, watching something on his phone with great attention.He hears me trying to speak and he looks to me.“Oh, you’re awake.” He places his phone in his pocket.“How do you feel?” He asks. I watch his face and he looks worried. Well, he has no reason to.“I feel quite fine.” I reply him as I start to get up.“No, stay down.” He says with a comforting smile.I like it when he smiles.“I like your smile.” I tell him, and he snorts out a laugh.“You always tell me that, it’s getting old.” He says jokingly.“Well, not to me.” I reply.“I was hearing a weird song when I first woke up.” I say as I sit upright, despite the fact that Chad said other

The target is the Lieutenant. The man is trained to the teeth. But I can’t deny this offer for two reasons.The first is because of my reputation. No matter how difficult or complicated getting a target is, I don’t back down.The second is because of the insane amount of money that this Russell guy is offering.Chad is the one that gets me information about my job offers. I get about twenty per day, but he knows I only take the ones with excellent pay and huge risks.I love the thrill.Chad closes the laptop and places it back into his backpack. “If you’re going to that dinner with Mr. Showoff, then I’m definitely coming along.” He suggests with a straight face.“No, you’re not.” I say to him as I cross my arms on my chest.“Yes, I am. I even have a suit that’d go perfectly with any thing you wear.” He says with one of his famous smiles.“Come on, let me come along. All we do is work, this is actually the first time that you’re going to a dinner party wit

“What happened to the offer?” I ask him as I try to keep him calm.“Russell is giving it to another person.” He says, and I scoff.I believe there’s a reason behind this decision, and the only reason to find out is to talk to the man himself.“It’s alright.” I say, even though I’m a bit worried that this contract would slip out of our grip.“It’s not, Jen. It’s not.” He says, and his eyes starts to get watery.Why is he so upset? Yeah, it’s a lot of money, and it would be good for our rep, but it’s not that deep.“This isn’t only about loosing the offer, is it?” I ask him and he breathes out a shaky sigh.He takes a few seconds to compose himself, and he sniffles.“My brother is dying.” He says and understanding dawns on me.Wow, that’s his only sibling. Why didn’t he tell me sooner?So he actually left his sick brother in London and came to attend to me here in America just because I was in a car crash.“I thought Patrick was better.” I say soft
