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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEitSitiH10
I expected Derrick to be here but he was oddly not present.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WWUJkiIab
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,
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZlQhDDNxu
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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKcTcSvcqs
The current news deafened all other thoughts.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOCQQ5bCiE
I was ecstatic!
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDscZAkhK3O
He was The director!
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikJmAaSmAn
He wanted to personally congratulate me!!
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMo2adKwua
So I went.
Before even cleaning myself or seeing if I'm presentable!
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DijyX4vau
I was just a gone fangirl.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyh4ShIhvQ
I never saw him. The thought of seeing him in person never crossed my mind. It just happened.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynoiw1AKYF
Two guards escorted me, but we changed routes in the middle and instead of going upstairs we went down.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJKREpGQaE
We entered a dungeon. It was an underground basement.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIsuDrWUny
"Bring her here." A deep gruffy voice of an elder echoed from a far cell
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33mBr5FVqx
This time the previous guards didn't escorted me further, instead a new pair of armed men lead me to him.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6ibp3YFdd
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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn6LiXYAaW
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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeS7bscdyb
But why bring Me here?
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8Pc73Nc2s
All cells were occupied.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi90NqfZXor
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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFEGmEb8h4
"Sir!" I reported in attention with a salute. "Ease." He said, waving down his hand which held a cigar, his back still facing me.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdTR2ZxF2t
"Nice to have you back. How was your trip?" He asked puffing out smoke. "Successful sir." I say, my head held high.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u2le5ZZR1
Crack
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb1HQf74Hu
"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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EEqxEIGku
Thump
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvImqSHMpp1
I heard the man's body fall limp on the ground.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RcWr6uiIe
But I kept my eyes focused up on Marco's hair. Which was cut short.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VlmVn9BHh
"Congratulations, Dear." He says, finally turning.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RvSJwEdV8
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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVrNbDhBPa
He was Terrifying.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbNSupHkmZ
"All thanks to the Training, Sir." Carefully choosing my words, I answer. I heard him "hmm." in approval.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzquPAtTgI
"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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuK1gtdgMI
Offcourse I did. I was one of the top assassins. I relished it's privileges. I gulped and just nodded unsure what to say.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg8cPiLPGN
He quirked a smirk. Dropped the cigar and crushed it under his shoe.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEo9rwjaHZ
I thought back what I did wrong.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkFqCdAOVx
"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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD4wk406Q2
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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxMafCiKGn
Is that the truth?
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PR1N1aStI
I never knew he was the person who took me in that day.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasCLImGlxS
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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCI5gvWrRW
My throat clogged up. It was a heavy information to swallow.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kaG4xOl4E
Hell!!
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUaDQboG1T
It's a Hard Truth to swallow!
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJrh11w3kQ
He kept laughing. But I didn't get the joke. Maybe I am too naive to understand.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUg3sNGbwb
I never wanted to know the bitter truth.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdfhsKFRok
Why is he telling me all this now??
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNpqVSdBak
I looked up at him In the Eye with a question.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNgCIQs5kx
Why?
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy1dpvKXkd
"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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpcRIWD3qd
I didn't blink away.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERSL13EzjU
My shoulders felt heavy.
My heart hurts.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPtX6rkvnd
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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0FKz7l5O8
Be Quiet. Stay smart. Stay safe.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvvSAbVG8D
If he's locking me up so be it. I don't care anymore..
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAaPgO6yg7
..Not for the time being at least.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQUDAwBnFP
"Say hi to your neighbour, Ivana." My body tensed like never before.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lR3hEpwfp
My foot suddenly felt to heavy to move as I turned.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YiU1vlUFh
"Zach!" I whispered loud enough for my ears to believe.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk9KKDeBYf
My voice died in my throat.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXRvoPREAK
But I displayed no emotion,
Because we'd both be dead then.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGJKRQIG25
But I feared this experienced man must've noticed my suffocation until now.
