Mitch Rapp POV

Grabbing the suit case from the boot of the car, I walk to the front of the building next to Sky.

"Don't fuck this up Rapp." She threatens, before pushing the door open and walking in like she owns the place.

Going in after, just a few steps behind, I look around sensing something off but push the feeling away.

"You're late" The older man speaks, looking up at Sky.

"Um, no, no I'm not, because I'm twenty seconds before I should have been here." She states not giving a shit.

"Anyway, I got what you asked for, so now I get what I came here for."

"You get it after I get the case." He answers, signaling his men to come and get the case I've got, but before he could take another step, there was a gunshot going off to where his foot would have been.

"I don't think so mate" she spits out, venom dripping from her voice.

"Give her what she came here for." He huffs out, knowing he won't win.

Smirking, Skyler signals me to retrieve the man's case, grabbing it off the man, I walk back over to Sky, showing her what's in it, but before she could say anything, shots are raining down on us.

"Shit!" She yells. "Come on!" I shout over the sound, grabbing her hand and taking cover, for some reason I hide her body beneath mine, my heart beating faster than ever, but not because of the guns being fired or failing the mission;

But if she gets hurt, the panic of losing her stopped me from thinking for a second.

Looking down at her, our faces nearly touching "you, okay?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine, you?" She breathes out.

"Yeah." I back up, allowing her to see what's happening.

"You brought friends? Well lucky me, because I did too." The older man yells from the other side of the room.

"No, you piece of shit, I didn't!" Skyler screams looking around for anything to help, going to grab her gun, she looks down.

"Damnit." She curses to herself, looking to where her gun should be, but it's nowhere to be seen.

"You got yours?" she asks.

Feeling around, I shake my head, spotting my gun a few meters away from us, out in the open.

She looks over to where my eyes landed, quickly deciding on the stupid decision, she darts from her position beside me.

"Get back!" I yell, going after her, as I'm a few steps behind, she yells holding her arm.

"We have to go!" I shout over the shooting, pulling her to my side and running back to our previous spot.

"Rosa Nera come out now, or I'll shoot the old man." A voice calls out.
(Black rose)

Spinning on my heel, I watch as she starts to walk out in the open.

Curiosity getting the better of us, I walk out as well.

"The case. Now." He snaps, getting tired of our bullshit, staring right ahead I see Stan being held at gunpoint.

He shouldn't be here.

"I'm sorry Casper, but it needs to stay in the right hands." She says, a hint of sadness laced within her voice.

Looking down at Skyler, shocked at what I'm hearing, she's going to get him killed, does she not care about him?

Well, she only cares about herself, and herself only, that's what I've heard.
