Shoot Me Down

Chapter 7

RAFFAELLA'S POV
After Vito left, I took a job. It was simple, kill a known drug dealer. I went to my bathroom and took a shower. I lathered my Grapefruit body wash. I rinsed the body wash off and applied my Grapefruit shampoo. After I was done washing it out, I massaged it in my Grapefruit conditioner; I washed that out after letting it sit for 5 minutes. After I was done, I stepped out of the shower. I wrapped my head and my body in towels. I headed out to my closet to pick out an outfit.

I grabbed a gray turtleneck and black jeans. I also grabbed a leather jacket, sunglasses, and heels. I went to tell Gia about the job. "Gi I got a job, head to the control room and get started. The man's name is Hugo James." I tell Gianetta who is sitting on the couch. "Ok Raf, and is it ok if I have Tank in the room?" She says to me as she heads to the control room. "Yeah it's fine, he's in my room," I tell her as I head to the weapons room. I grab my favorite gun, a Glock 43.

I also grab some knives and strap them to my leg. "Gigi I'm headed out," I tell her through my earpiece. "I've got the building, I'll give you more instructions when you get there. It's 543 Hillshire Road." She tells me through the earpiece. I head to the garage and get in my Range Rover. It hums to life as I speed out of the driveway. I pass the security gate and leave the property. I head out into the city and drive for about 15 minutes. I arrive at the building and park inconspicuously a couple of streets away, so I don't get noticed. "Gi I'm here tell me what to do," I tell her through the earpiece. "Ok. Head into the building through the window on the north side.." she instructs. I head to the north side and see the window. I break it carefully by applying duct-tape to the window before I smash it. I climb through the window and land in an empty room. "Gi I'm in," I whisper into the earpiece. "Ok Raf get out of that room, and he's in the room at the end of the hall." She commands through the earpiece. I head out of the room, as I get closer to the room I grab my gun from its holster. I kick down the door to find a dirty man shooting up. "Who the hell are you?" He sneered. "Ever heard of the Reaper?" I tease. "Impossible. The Reaper is a man." He yells. I answer his reply by shooting him in the head. "Sorry hun, looks can be deceiving," I say as I tower over his body. "Gi it's done, inform the client," I say through my earpiece. Before I leave I rip open his shirt and carve an "R" into his chest. When I'm done labeling my victim I head out through the same window I came in from. I headed through the street but stopped at a noise I hear in the alley behind me. That sounds like crying. I head to the alley towards the sound. "Is anyone there?" I ask into the darkness. "P-p-please d-don't hurt me." A tiny voice whispered. I head towards the sound, which was behind a dumpster. When I got close enough I see the tiny voice belongs to a little girl.
