I looked at my face in the rearview mirror and fixed up my red lipstick, at that moment I didn't recognize myself, it was like living a nightmare from the past all over again. I got out of the taxi and fixed my black dress around my torso looking around paying attention to anything that was strange and went into the ball, it was filled with people from the highest class in Austria, all the women covered in diamonds and emeralds all over the neck. I felt the cold gun between my legs and held my handbag in front of my body as I dodged people towards the back of the room, I waited for hours for any sign of Max or the man I needed to kill. Tall, bald and about 200kgs. Described by Max's peculiar words.
