"Thank you." The mob boss said and I slapped the envelope of money on his desk. In favor, he gave me a smaller envelope of money.

"Yeah, yeah." I said putting my envelope of money in my bag.

"Is it too much to ask if I say I have two more jobs for you?" He said, leaning back in his chair.

"Do you not have normal hit men here or something?" I asked and took a seat on one of the two chairs they had for guests.

"None of my men know how to kill like you. Also no one suspects a woman as their killer, let alone a petite one like yourself." He said causing me to raise an eyebrow as response.

"What are these jobs?"

"Well, one of them is a simple kill. A guy tried to sue our judge and then tried poisoning him to kill him. Just shoot him from a distance, or which ever you'd like."

"How much?"

"Three hundred dollars would be enough I assume?" He said and I nodded my head.

"The other one?" I asked.

"The other one is much more complicated. One I know you would say no to."

"Then why bother to ask?"

"Because I've run out of options so I need you to be open minded. I'm willing to pay a lot of money for this."

"What do you want?"

"There's a mob a city down I'm not sure you've heard of. They are called Avenged Sevenfold." I nodded my head.

"They've crossed our path a lot of times. They managed to kill 4 of the leaders I had branched out." I sighed.

"What would you like me to do? Take down the whole gang?"

"No. I want you to kill their leader."

I raised an eyebrow. "Look Don, it's not easy to get to their leader, let alone kill them. They will have security everywhere."

"That's why I want you to go undercover for me."

"Fuck no."

"Just hear me out."

"What would you like me to do? Be one of their sluts?"

"I want you to start dating him. Make him fall in love with you, trust you. Then kill him."

"No." I said.

"I need you to do this."

"And I told you no." I said standing up, "If you want me to do the first one fine, but I'm not going undercover."

He took a deep breathe. "I'll pay you half a million dollars."

"I told you no, what don't you understand?" I said getting angry.

The guard by the door aimed his gun at me.

I shot him automatically.

"Must you always do that?" Don asked.

"I've told you plenty of time, don't have your pussy ass guards point their guns at me."

"Listen to me Adelaide. I don't have anyone else to trust with this. I need you to do it. You do this for me and I promise that she will be safe. I will pay for all of her schooling, make sure she gets the best jobs, best house, best car, best everything. I need this. You want her safe. I can do that. She won't have a scratch on he body."

I looked at him. "You give me your word?"

He nodded his head, "I give you my word that your sister will have the best schooling in the country along with the rest."

"This doesn't mean I'm joining your mafia shit. I'm doing this job and leaving after that. It'll be my last job here."

He nodded his head slowly.

"You've got yourself a deal then."

I dressed in a short black dress that was flared out in the bottom and the back was open with two stripes going across it. I put on tall black suede heels and walked out the door, my purse hanging off my shoulder.

As I drove off to the club, I heard the loud music pounding. I ordered a shot of Patron and sat down.

Thats a strong drink for such a small girl. I heard a raspy voice say behind me.

I turned in my chair to see a buff guy sitting next to me.

Well, Im a strong girl. I smiled at him.

The bartender brought my drink and the guy stopped him, Put all her drinks on my tab.

I chuckled as the bartender nodded before walking away. Well, aren't you the charmer.

I took the shot and got off my seat.

No chaser? He asked.

Chasers are for weak people. I said, It was nice meeting you.

Wait, whats your name?

Well, wouldnt you love to know? I said and walked off. I looked around, trying to find the guy I was supposed to kill. I sighed looking around. What if hes not here tonight? I fucking hate chasing after a guy.

I pulled out my phone and searched the guy again. After finding his phone number, I put it in my tracking app and found him driving his way to the club, he was 38 miles away.

Smart to kill people you dont live close to, stupid to come back often and not expand it out.

I walked back to the bar and told the bartender to give me another Patron.

You should really let me dance with you. I heard the raspy voice again.

I turned around and found him leaning into me, both his arms on the table, trapping me there.

I shrugged and held out my hand. He grinned, showing off his dimples.

As he carried me out to the dance floor, the song changed to Tonight Im Fucking You by some singer. I felt his hands on my hips and I pushed my hips onto his waist level and started grinding. I danced with him a little more before whispering in his ear that I wanted another drink.

We walked back to the bar and ordered two shots of Patron.

As they arrived, I looked to the door to see my target walking in. I took my shot and looked the guy.

It was nice meeting you& I trailed off.

Shadows

Shadows. I smiled, But Ive got some business to attend to.

He grabbed my hand. Tell me your name.

I went closer to his ear and said, Nightmare.

I walked away after that. I looked back and saw him smirking.
