The blunt sound of several doors opening filled the empty shipyard. The sun has completely disappeared out of the sky and there was no moonlight or stars only the artificial human lights to illuminate the thick darkness. Six men came down from the two black small Mercedes Benz cars parked at the front side of the shipyard. One older gentleman dressed formally in a long black trench coat, a black shawl wrapped around his neck, a black hat over his half-bald hair, and a black walking stick aiding his walk as he has a bad leg from a car accident a few years ago which limited the use of his right leg. Behind him lay four huge guys looking like movie goons and another looking less threatening in his casual street clothes but with a look in the stormy darkness of his eye,s you will know he is a force to reckon with.
" You haven't told me how you got those bruises? " one of the goons asked the causal-dressed guy. The guy had walked in to work a few nights ago looking like he h
From where he hid watching the fight Marcus saw the blonde go down and his hand flew to his mouth to clamp down on the loud gasp that escaped his lips. There was no need to alert the dangerous assassin to his presence. He is not meant to be here and doubts that Dark Shadow will let him leave if he is caught.His heart thundered against his rib as he willed the blonde to get up with his mind. He was scared of her losing, not just because of the money he put in on her head but because he really liked her. She intrigues him and pulls at him to know her more, and he was looking forward to doing just that and hopes from the depth of his heart that the blonde will emerge from this victorious.Shelby cursed to the deep pit of hell at the blinding pain piercing her soul from where the arrow penetrated through her leg. She crawled on her knees determined to get to a cover to avoid being hit by another arrow. Her movement left a trail of blood from her leg but she kn
Shelby's weak eyes looked up when the sword she expected to swoop down like some avenging angel and claim her life took a slight delay. The look in her eyes matches the exact ones popping out from the balls of her fellow assassin. Their shocked gazes held each other and she watched as the sword hanging in the air slowly slipped off the man's hand and then his body followed and crashed to the ground in a heavy thud. His fall revealed Marcus who stood behind him trembling from head to toe, his eyes wide as an ocean frozen in shock while his shaking limbs clutched tightly the now red-stained sword that was once inside the dead assassin body. Marcus couldn't believe what he had done. He just killed somebody, he thought his whole body drenched in fear. He wasn't a killer. He might enjoy watching the hunt but that doesn't mean he likes to take the life himself. Thank you, the soft words wafted up to him penetrating his frozen mind. The sword dropped with a loud clang from hi
Lucas was busy in his office pouring over the presentation he will be making to his investors in the next few hours when his phone rang. His company just won a bid to be the sole producer of a pharmaceutical product that will be able to cure the illness of Cystic Fibrosis. A respiratory illness that has gone ages without a cure and just a few months ago scientists had a breakthrough.He turned his dark brown eyes in the direction of the ringing phone. He didn't need the distraction right now. This presentation will determine if his company gets the funding he needs to fully go into more research and mass production of the drug. He needs the right words to convince the rich folks he is going to meet that this endeavor is worth aligning their ship to because in few months he will be lining their pockets with a lot of money more than they will invest into his company.The phone stopped and started up again. To avoid the sound interrupting him again Lucas picke
The deadweight of her target hit the ground in a loud thud. Lightning calmly lifted the remaining wine in her glass to her lips and drowned it all before getting to her feet to finish the rest of the ritual when the target has been eliminated. She took out the company-issued smartphone and pressed some buttons to gain assess to the secured camera and took pictures of her no longer breathing target and hit send. She waited for few minutes for her file to be received and acknowledged at the HQ and when she got a response in the form of six figures a huge smile broke her face. As quietly as she came in she left the same way making sure not to leave any clues that can be traced back to her by the cops.Outside the target apartment Lightning lifted her black hoody over her shinny beach blonde hair and kept her face downcast and away from the cameras hanging at strategic points along the hallways and other hidden places and made her way confidently towards the lobby making su
" What the hell are you doing? " Marcus cried in alarm as he jumped up on the bed, his eyes bulging out in stark fear, his heart racing in his chest. He tried to leave but the ominous sound of the cork of the gun advice him otherwise. " I wouldn't ask you again, " Shelby warned coldly.Marcus swallowed and stared down the barrel of the gun to his face wondering what the blonde want from him. " What are you asking? " he asked in a low cautious voice his eyes not moving away from the gun." For starters why are you here? and why do you keep appearing everywhere I go and why do you not flinch at the sight of me killing someone? Are you some FBI agent sent to spy on me? " Shelby asked lifting her brow at the guy. She really didn't think him a spy, if he was he wouldn't have wasted his time saving her but still, she was curious as to who he really was. The guy wouldn't think her that stupid if she just accepted his sudden appearance in her life.Marcus ad
" Alright, guys we have a new target on our hands. Hills Thomas. Thirty-two years old, and a construction worker. We need to pick our assassins, " Percy said to the room." Do we add Lightning to the group? " Grey, a mousy blonde hair guy with a lot of freckles asked out loud. " No, let her rest. Pick from the old bunch, " Percy instructed." What about sweet girl, " Blake suggested. " Okay, more guys, " Percy said going to take his seat at the head of the table." Poison, " Simon, the African American in the group blurted out. " Who is she? " Percy asked looking at the big screen." Wait let me put up her details, " Simon said clicking at his laptop. A few seconds later the image of a beautiful brunette with Gothic features filled the big screen. " She is a gamma sir. ""That is good, who else?" " Sly fox, " Simon said again, reading off his screen. " That is three people. We need two more. Add someone of high
Poison walked into her house with the blonde hot on her heels. She turned to face her. " What kind I offer you? "" A bottle of beer if you don't mind, " Cat said giving the woman a smoldering look. Poison locked eyes with the blonde for seconds, heightening the tension between them before he turned to go to his kitchen. She bent into her fridge to bring out two bottles of beer one for herself and the other for her guest and when she turned around, the blonde was standing directly behind her putting within hair breath of each other." Guess you don't want that beer, huh? " Poison said in a husky tone staring into the grey eyes now deeper by the burning desire in them.Cat took the bottles from her and laid them gently on the table behind her before turning to face the woman, taking a step forward to place closer to her, their skin almost touching. The woman was a foot taller than her, so Cat rose on the tip of her toes to put them on eye level. " You
The brunette words didn't do a shit clearing up the confusion in Cat's eyes. She was supposed to be dead. She felt the needle and the drug enter through her neck into her blood so how the fuck was she still alive, and why?. " How and Why? " she asked softly voicing the questions in her mind while casting a shadow of suspicion in the woman's direction.Poison eyed the blonde, the explanation as to why she spared the blonde mind an elusive point in her mind for the moment but how she saved the blonde was one she could heartily explain. " Well, sweet doodles when your heart stopped I quickly removed your tracker before giving you the antidote that will bring back your heart and went ahead to hide you while faking your death. " Poison finished her explanation with a proud smile on her lips as if expecting a medal for her actions.Cat glowered at the dark brunette. " First, don't ever call me that, ew!, " she says making a disgusting face that started a light smile on
