Chapter 3: Payment for Services Rendered

So here's my attempt at Killer :P it's so hard to write a faceless man. And mixing that with a woman who is actually three people makes it all the more impossible -_- I don't know why I do this to myself... But I do hope you enjoy! 

You were unceremoniously abandoned in what you assumed to be Eustass Kid's bedroom. The door wasn't locked and they hadn't restrained you. But what exactly was a whore going to do against a ship full of violent pirates?

You remained inside and quiet, knowing full well that this moment would probably be your only one of peace for a while, and quite probably your last moment before your death. Tonight was going to be rough, especially if Kid was the type to share his bounties...

You distracted yourself by observing the contents of your new prison. A huge half-made bed was pushed against the far wall. Beside it, a door led into a small room with a toilet, sink, and shower. A few bookshelves were filled with a variety of tomes. Navigational records, geography and history books, newspapers... Kid was better read than you'd expected. A section of the room near the door was bare except for a rug. You wondered at this until you discovered a few sets of dumbbells under a nearby shelf. A large desk occupied the remaining wall, its surface littered with papers and charts.

Some shouting from the deck above cut your exploration short. A few seconds later you heard the tap of footsteps approaching down the hall. You turned to the door and brought your hands around to clasp before your stomach. You set your shoulders and took in a steadying breath.

The handle turned and the door opened. You blinked as the masked blond stepped inside. Killer didn't acknowledge you. Instead, he moved to a shelf and began searching the books. You waited in silence, eyes digging into his back as you tried to force your body to relax.

You'd often had clients of the pirate variety back on Karsh Island. But none of them had ever exuded such an... intimidating aura. You had felt it from them upon your first encounter, when they had slaughtered every member of your village right before your eyes. You could still see that blood red sneer slicing death cross the battlefield. And though you couldn't see Killer's face, you knew in your gut that his lips could twist in the same enrapturing way.

Killer found the book he was looking for, flipped to his desired page, skimmed the contents, and then put it back on the shelf. You watched as he headed for the door, only opening your mouth when he moved to close it behind him without glancing your way once.

"It would be best for both of us if I ate something before we start."

Killer paused and his mask turned back to fix you with a blank stare. Then, without uttering a word, he left. He didn't lock the door.

You followed his footsteps until they vanished up a flight of stairs. Judging by the distance he'd walked, there was probably another room adjacent to this one. And since you found yourself not in Eustass Kid's room, you assumed that it was the captain's lair that stood between you and the stairs leading up to the deck.

You closed your eyes and listened. There were many footsteps running around now. Most of the crew must have made their way back to the ship after scattering during the battle outside the auction house. You frowned in concentration. Twenty... Twenty-two in all. Strangely, you got the feeling that the captain was not present. You filed this knowledge away for later and moved your attention to the bathroom.
