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.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl6wJDNPVa
I expected Derrick to be here but he was oddly not present.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgrhn4p109
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.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsnK1QI07y
When I reported back to the headquarters,
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbL2vuNrNk
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.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuEb4T8Uyl
The current news deafened all other thoughts.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvg915OY4I
I was ecstatic!
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJItnFZXuOx
He was The director!
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ3ihPGIY3
He wanted to personally congratulate me!!
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMYzlvhvya
So I went.
Before even cleaning myself or seeing if I'm presentable!
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vxOE0oCZh
I was just a gone fangirl.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7E3JXDhsm
I never saw him. The thought of seeing him in person never crossed my mind. It just happened.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFz2Gi3fxv
Two guards escorted me, but we changed routes in the middle and instead of going upstairs we went down.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGiN6vezsd
We entered a dungeon. It was an underground basement.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGXoCkm5JK
"Bring her here." A deep gruffy voice of an elder echoed from a far cell
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzpCbTFWg9
This time the previous guards didn't escorted me further, instead a new pair of armed men lead me to him.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC01RFdjqwj
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.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOYAnf1uAu
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.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3QJ9GvADw
But why bring Me here?
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez2kAXun9R
All cells were occupied.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQcGQSaUAH
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.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXREkPPpctJ
"Sir!" I reported in attention with a salute. "Ease." He said, waving down his hand which held a cigar, his back still facing me.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT0GUG2dvx
"Nice to have you back. How was your trip?" He asked puffing out smoke. "Successful sir." I say, my head held high.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQLZ36NUwB
Crack
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ND4AoGLHo
"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.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKch15hrjX
Thump
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsEXYiFWAA
I heard the man's body fall limp on the ground.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc9yYTZOzk
But I kept my eyes focused up on Marco's hair. Which was cut short.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vWBmZkgjA
"Congratulations, Dear." He says, finally turning.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY05nrnnmt
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.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8HoAxnvAJ
He was Terrifying.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsVuQwKy9E
"All thanks to the Training, Sir." Carefully choosing my words, I answer. I heard him "hmm." in approval.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCSG4sp3F6
"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.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxAlyw8dEx
Offcourse I did. I was one of the top assassins. I relished it's privileges. I gulped and just nodded unsure what to say.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpzcacPAsq
He quirked a smirk. Dropped the cigar and crushed it under his shoe.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL5D4K1SGH
I thought back what I did wrong.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5xVhCHOHI
"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.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpeib0Ne3S
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.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpIN5MEn0x
Is that the truth?
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW968CGtCGY
I never knew he was the person who took me in that day.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UWBcTTe38
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.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJVjL7aZEo
My throat clogged up. It was a heavy information to swallow.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqkRo3uG3h
Hell!!
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8TA3WtLNM
It's a Hard Truth to swallow!
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpjC5KQxGm
He kept laughing. But I didn't get the joke. Maybe I am too naive to understand.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPfIlnr267
I never wanted to know the bitter truth.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvjZo4NpAV
Why is he telling me all this now??
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv8V8KS6oR
I looked up at him In the Eye with a question.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu7recS5Bk
Why?
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx2evTzk6N
"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.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd83OhiMbkm
I didn't blink away.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IqendSFF5
My shoulders felt heavy.
My heart hurts.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe7bZSgYF5
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.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69dZ1w53DG
Be Quiet. Stay smart. Stay safe.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wtmRjY1zr
If he's locking me up so be it. I don't care anymore..
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1iJLYUFYx
..Not for the time being at least.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbNY935eqW
"Say hi to your neighbour, Ivana." My body tensed like never before.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZptXSvHcG
My foot suddenly felt to heavy to move as I turned.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiguBgNTyAs
"Zach!" I whispered loud enough for my ears to believe.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hfFDaXJXo
My voice died in my throat.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBEP2SGQuJ
But I displayed no emotion,
Because we'd both be dead then.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhGYyXyonY
But I feared this experienced man must've noticed my suffocation until now.
