“Please! Don’t kill me! I got a wife and kid!”, the thug exclaimed as he raised his hand to shield himself.
She stepped closer to him slowly like an apex predator,” Say that to the dozens of kids you murdered”.She said before she could kill him. Sirens buzzed in the dead and silent alleys, that was her time to run away as quickly as possible. Of course, she covered her face with a mask as any vigilante would, but that was not enough. There was a witness to what she had done.
He chuckled as he stated,” My dear little kitten… you smell so different and unique. I need you, you’re valuable.”He started to drool as he tracked the scent of the cut that was on her opened wound.
Zoey entered through her bedroom window and hoped that her father will not find her in such a state. After all, he didn’t know about her secret job.
“Why are you dressed like that and why are you coming back home through your bedroom window Zoey?”, her father questioned her in the darkest corner of the room.
“O-oh, dad! Why are you up so late?” she exclaimed as she tried to avoid his questions.
“Answer my questions first, Zoey. You’ve been coming home late recently. Are you seeing someone that I don’t know about?”
Zoey sighed in amusement.” Of course not dad! I would tell you if I ever meet someone.”, she stated as they hugged.
“Then what are you hiding from me, Zoey? You know what my line of work is, and you know that it is dangerous for you to sneak out of the house at 11 in the night!”, he yelled at her.
“Dad, I’m not sixteen anymore! You have to start trusting me and putting more faith in me. I know how to take care of myself dad…I’m twenty-four.”, Zoey stated.
“Zoey, I don’t care what the hell you do, but you just follow one rule. Never leave the house from ten in the night to five in the morning.”, he said as he slammed the door after leaving.
She sighed as she fell onto the bed. Zoey started to dress into her house clothes until she saw a wound on her arm.” Shit.”, she muttered under her breath. She closed her window quickly and started to dress her wound.
She turned around quickly as she felt a presence near her.” Who’s there!?”, she exclaimed but no response, she thought maybe it was in her mind since she was already sleepy from a long day. She sighed as she got ready for bed.” Mom…I miss you so much. I wish you were here.”, she muttered as she slowly fell off to sleep.
“Sir, you got a meeting scheduled with the shareholders at 9:30 sharp, and since there is no stock of the blood wine in your cellar, shall I order more and where shall I order it this time for you?”, his assistant, Damion queried.
A deep, rough voice answered saying,” Order it from City X and make sure it is exactly from the 1530’s.”He folded his muscular arms and looked outside the car window to see something strange.” What the hell…stop the damn car right now!”, he exclaimed. He got out of the car running and leaving the driver and Damion in shock.
“What was all that about? Oh no…Shit…He is going to get late for the meeting!”, Damion shouted as he got out of the car but Alexander was long gone.”Damn it!”
Alexander Griffin, the one man that City Y won’t dare to mess with, Alex owns everything in this city. One word and you’re gone.No one, absolutely no one can move him or do anything to him. He’s cold and expressionless.
“What was that smell? It has such a different fragrance.’, he questioned himself as he started to spy on what was happening in an alleyway.
“Please! Don’t kill me! I got a wife and kid!”, the thug exclaimed as he raised his hand to shield himself.
A person with a mask on, stepped closer to him slowly like an apex predator,” Say that to the dozens of kids you murdered”.She said before she could kill him. Sirens buzzed in the dead and silent alleys, that was her queue to start running.
Alex chuckled as he stated,” My dear little kitten… you smell so different and unique. I need you, you’re valuable.”He started to drool as he tracked the scent of the cut that was on her opened wound and started to run away too.
He took out his phone to dial a number and they picked up.” Where are you Mr.Griffin?You are going to be late for the meeting!”, Damion stated in distress.
“Damion, I have something to do urgently. Cancel the rest of my appointments for today.”
He ended up tracking this vigilante to their house just to find out that it was a thin, delicate and pale girl who looked so beautiful, He could not believe his eyes that someone petite can kill someone. She wasn’t for the game of war, and he knew that well enough. He watched her from the building opposite as she entered her house through her room window. He chuckled at her childishness but was more focused on who was in the house since she entered that way. He saw the light turn on as soon as she entered, and there was an old man she called father, his hearing was quite well.
He picked up his phone to see Damion calling him, he didn’t wait for Damion to talk, instead, he talked first.” Is the wine ready as yet?”, Alex questioned.
“It will be ready at 2 a.m. in three days' time.”, Damion replied.
“Get it ready faster Damion.”, he demanded as he started to walk away from her house into the car where his driver waited for him using a tracker. The driver opened the door,” I am sorry sir, I had to track you down to make sure that you were okay.”
Alex waved a hand to his driver as he entered his car.”Oh, and Damion, I got some homework for you, give me information about a name such as Zoey Smith.”
And he cut the call.
