I was given another room on the first floor. A bigger one, with a cozy bed. I wasn't used to coziness so I made myself comfortable on the floor under a thin blanket.

When I first came here, I knocked the walls to ensure my privacy and checked all the drawers and cupboards in case there I find a weapon, camera or Maybe a secret passage.

Vettorio stood at the door, inspecting my each and every movement as I did his. But when I thanked him and wished him good night, he left taking the hint.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlA1DFno12
I expected Derrick to be here but he was oddly not present.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9XN3sW8Fo
I shrugged off that thought and rewind my brains to the past.

It's about time when I had been back from my Miami's Mission.
It took 3 weeks to execute the final blow. But we were successful so I ignored the loss of time.

When I reported back to the headquarters,
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItbrL21INM
Our Commander summoned me. After the congratulatory and futher instructions, his last order stuck in my mind.
"Marco, Our President.." He paused. I've only heard victorious stories about him. I wondered why he mentioned him after I'm just back. "..He wants to meet you." He didn't met my eyes. He never does that. But I ignored his indifference.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7FQtKpkuq
The current news deafened all other thoughts.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNMWy1SBEf
I was ecstatic!
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kQ8pcQUk0
He was The director!
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fb4z7PgMg
He wanted to personally congratulate me!!
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rBbVuD34c
So I went.
Before even cleaning myself or seeing if I'm presentable!
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJhcqf7du1
I was just a gone fangirl.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWImCEcJiP
I never saw him. The thought of seeing him in person never crossed my mind. It just happened.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqotCOSi4j
Two guards escorted me, but we changed routes in the middle and instead of going upstairs we went down.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh2MX4cURh
We entered a dungeon. It was an underground basement.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7adPnakDu
"Bring her here." A deep gruffy voice of an elder echoed from a far cell
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbvvG9uQiO
This time the previous guards didn't escorted me further, instead a new pair of armed men lead me to him.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXswfiJ11Gu
I slowed. An uneasy feeling settled in my gut. I feel something similar when things don't go according to plan on my business trips and instincts are the best to be relied on.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyDOTk32kp
The place was dark and the locked cells smelled of rotten blood, piss and odour of something more I couldn't point my finger. Cells are generally like that.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCvFuGDGnN
But why bring Me here?
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fnk0iFcC7
All cells were occupied.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3y6k7Cwbi
We stopped at a foot distance from an almost white haired old man, taller and lean, a heavy long hooded winter coat hugging his intimidating figure. I could feel the fear rising in me, dispite my innocence. That. Was his power.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka8uxkYvcM
"Sir!" I reported in attention with a salute. "Ease." He said, waving down his hand which held a cigar, his back still facing me.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ491DTxeQ61
"Nice to have you back. How was your trip?" He asked puffing out smoke. "Successful sir." I say, my head held high.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHloXZZYZkp
Crack
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwct2RgtkP
"Aah!!" I heard a man's weak searing, which likely came from in front of Marco but I couldn't see, his back block my vision.
So that's what he was busy with and couldn't turn.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN1uSPBCiS
Thump
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXMiK67VP6
I heard the man's body fall limp on the ground.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCarb8tcKP
But I kept my eyes focused up on Marco's hair. Which was cut short.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpATN5r9vG
"Congratulations, Dear." He says, finally turning.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QwA9A7zaV
His tanned face had a deep scar running down from his head to his neck. His veins Stuck out from his muscular frame. I bet if I hear carefully his breathing must be exerting growlings.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0gOEJMEns
He was Terrifying.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGZ8RFdl92
"All thanks to the Training, Sir." Carefully choosing my words, I answer. I heard him "hmm." in approval.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoeMCDpfox
"Ivana, Do you like where you are right now? This Position!" He growled again, pointing his finger down to ground near his foot and my heart rate quickened.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTco3vERuIx
Offcourse I did. I was one of the top assassins. I relished it's privileges. I gulped and just nodded unsure what to say.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqWCNORbWI
He quirked a smirk. Dropped the cigar and crushed it under his shoe.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWOy0Ja4Pg
I thought back what I did wrong.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj1Iq6xAu0
"Your parents sold ya to me when you were just four or five, my memory kinda blur." He scratched his chin and my heart dropped. My childhood topic is the only thing that can put me through emotional breakdown. And this wasn't the time.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82GpXqFzku
He then laughed.
No one else joined him.
"You were from a mistress and your dad loves money it's source the most." I cringed at his unfunny joke.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBTFmLfx01
Is that the truth?
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkRe4amewL
I never knew he was the person who took me in that day.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjShiH0DQUB
Now that he's old, converted to a totally changed man.
How could I have recognised him.
It's like I saw him for the first time.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTLcHAwEah
My throat clogged up. It was a heavy information to swallow.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tMhvNtCdv
Hell!!
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJytoepVD11
It's a Hard Truth to swallow!
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPeKWqSnKo
He kept laughing. But I didn't get the joke. Maybe I am too naive to understand.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EdJDhWuWE
I never wanted to know the bitter truth.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqVk2UYKNS
Why is he telling me all this now??
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkaMbd2laa
I looked up at him In the Eye with a question.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXwjDmjTG6
Why?
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw8fE2G66T
"Darlin, I want to remind you who feeds you. What made you to come this far. You stay loyal to them! You fuckin Repay them!" He was almost spating at my face now.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor2WMUSzLp
I didn't blink away.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkOrkTzERq
My shoulders felt heavy.
My heart hurts.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoo9uFpJBG
He snaps his fingers and I hear shoes clicking in the background. And then the metal bars of a cell at certain distance being lifted. I heard it all but didn't move nor made sound.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7yuEEJgh3
Be Quiet. Stay smart. Stay safe.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ0hteWuvD
If he's locking me up so be it. I don't care anymore..
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJlYxxhzye
..Not for the time being at least.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WYcvhEI6h
"Say hi to your neighbour, Ivana." My body tensed like never before.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXGYovSaZt
My foot suddenly felt to heavy to move as I turned.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50zsRr1mKk
"Zach!" I whispered loud enough for my ears to believe.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGeuJGgWzH
My voice died in my throat.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgrfhDxLAA
But I displayed no emotion,
Because we'd both be dead then.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTira5z66gX
But I feared this experienced man must've noticed my suffocation until now.
