Rules are created and meant to be broken. The same goes for all humans who decide to venture into the business of killing with the sword and dying by it .
"Eva Eva are you there?" Dominik's loud voice rang through
h the chip I was wearing, completely startling me out of my thoughts.
"Yea, careful my ears are still valuable to me"
"You weren't listening, that's why I had to shout,he just left the meeting to his office this is the right time to strike"
"Oh on it"
I didn't need any directions anymore as I slipped on my skeleton shaped mask ,meant to cover the users face completely, the only opening on the mask was just the silk around the eyes.
Swiftly slipped my hand into the band of my jean, confirming my gun was still secured at the holster that I put it in earlier as I hit the gear and headed straight to the Marco club.
I've been sitting in my car for not more than thirty minutes waiting for directions from Dominik who was in charge of tech and tracking.
All I needed was an alert that the enemy was out and about and luckily he has. I shuffled through the compartment in car in search of the cigarette I had tossed into the car earlier, while one hand was fixed tightly around the steering.
The plan I have so harbored for years and trained for will start today and I was more than happy to do so.
I puffed out the smoke out of the now lighted cigarette as my mind was filled with nothing but the thought of Arnold Marco dying through my hand today.
As I approached the Marco club, the lights reflecting off the clear pavement, my heart rate remained steady. Years of training had got me ready for moments like these. I parked the car a few blocks away to avoid drawing any attention and made my way toward the entrance.
Dominik's voice sounded in my ear again, quieter this time. "Security is light tonight. Marco doesn't expect trouble. Remember, you have five minutes tops before his bodyguards return from their rounds."
"Got it," I muttered, slipping through the shadows. The club's back entrance was less guarded, just as Dominik had predicted. The door was locked, but I'd come prepared. I retrieved a slim lock-picking set from my pocket and quickly got to work. Within seconds, the door clicked open.
The interior was dimly lit,as I passed through the main club heading directly towards the office of the man I had unfinished business with, the silence along the hallway was maddening but also advantageous to me as the only sound heard was from my calculated movement.
As I reached the door to Marco's office, I could hear his sickly voice inside, raised in anger. "...and I don't care what it takes, I want it done!" His words were drowned by the sound of something heavy slamming onto a desk.
A wild guess would be his hand
Taking a deep breath, I prepared myself. This was it, the moment I had waited for. I kicked the door open, my gun already drawn and aimed at Marco. He looked up, surprise and fury mingling in his eyes.
"Who the hell are you?" He yelled trying to reach in for his drawer on his desk but I was fast.
"Don't you dare" I said my voice fully coated with malice and hatred "your end time is now Marco say me hi to the devil"
The old man looked like he was about to beg for his life, but his feigned fear didn't hide the evil look I saw years ago.
Before he could react, I pulled the trigger. The silencer muffled the gunshot, and Marco slumped back in his chair, a look of shock frozen on his face. I stood there for a moment, the weight of years of planning and training settling over me.
I didn't stop there as I fired two more straight to his forehead.Then drew out my knife from my shoe and drew out a number on him.
Dominik's voice broke through the silence. "Eva, you need to get out of there now. Security will be back any second."
I nodded to myself, already moving. Holstering my gun, I exited the office and retraced my steps, every muscle in my body on alert. The mission was almost complete, but I couldn't afford to get careless now.
Slipping out through the same back door, I made my way to the car, my pulse finally starting to slow as I got in and drove away. The city lights blurred past, a mix of relief and adrenaline coursing through me.
For years I was trained to be
emotionless,kill without feeling an ounce of regret in preparation for the big kill I was to face.
Dominik's father and him made sure I was void of emotions and pain, and killing one of the men who took my childhood away from me brought me more satisfaction than I imagined.
Dominik's voice came through the chip once more, calm and steady. "Good job, Eva. It's done."
I took a deep breath, letting it out slowly. Feeling like a little weight has just left me "Yeah, it's done. But this is just the beginning."
The line went silent, and I focused on the road ahead. There were still more names on my list, and tonight was just the first step in a long journey.
I entered my car and picked up a handkerchief, cleaning the blood off my knife then zooming off from where I parked earlier.
I picked up my phone and called Dominik, swiftly removing the chip that was pinned to my ear and placing my phone on speaker while I drove.
His annoying voice floated through "hey baby girl, you miss me?"
"Get out" I said as I rolled my eyes like he was there to see it
"Am on my way back home now, how about the job, have I gotten access to the devil's manor "
"The only job available is a maid and I don't think you will want to do that principessa.(princess: Italian)
"Eww, can't you do anything else "
"Nothing "
"Then get me in,I will take it "
"You sure?" His voice sounded again this time calmly like a doting father.
"Yes"
"But if you..."
"Dominik,get me in and enough with treating me like a baby" I cut him off irritated.
"Okay,you start next week "
With that I punched the red button, terminating the call.
"Now let it all begin"
