It is better to live one day as a lion than live a hundred years as a sheep

His deep voice never fails to make her body shiver, as she lowers her gun, he slowly starts to make his way toward her. His movements reflect a predator walking toward its prey; a predator that knows the prey has nowhere to go and is bound to be killed.
"Apophis"
His steps halt just inches in front of Luna right after she spells his code name. The height difference makes Luna look up to him to maintain eye contact. He slowly lifts his hands, grabbing a strand of Luna's hair, and twisting it in his fingers.
Luna slaps his hands away while the intense eye contact battle goes on. The sides of his lips lift into a sinister grin as he takes a step back, giving Luna a little bit of space to breathe.
A Tall 67 man, in an expensive fitting suit that enhances his manly body features; an undeniably gorgeous man. The grin on his face fades away replacing it with a serious one. Luna knew why he was here and that it was also for no good. Their meetings never go in the right way.
"You do remember the task you were given right? ......... you were supposed to finish it yesterday." As Luna remains silent his patience slowly fades.
"Now, don't tell me the almighty Eris (Luna) is slacking off." He takes another step dangerously closer to Luna.
"I got arrested 2 days ago and was released just now. Don't worry, I will bring you the person by midnight." The anger is audible in Luna's voice, she wants nothing but to punch his beautiful face, but it is taking every inch of patience in her not to do so.
His serious face lights up upon hearing her statement, "Why were you arrested, Love?" He curiously asks, taking another strand of her hair, and twisting it in his fingers, knowing well how much she dislikes him doing so.
Luna slaps his hand away again as she snaps unable to hold it in, "Mind your own fucking business. And the next time I see you in my apartment or even roaming outside, I swear I am going to fucking screw the rules and put all of the fucking bullets into that thick skull of yours." The small height of Luna in comparison to him, makes her appear less threatening but he knows her well, he knows she means those words from the bottom of her heart.
Just as he was about to argue back a ring from his phone interrupted their arguments, the caller ID with the name Atlas was enough to make both of them shut up. Apophis makes his way out of the apartment as Luna takes a deep breath in and a loud sigh.
The mission she was assigned to before the major one to come was simply to locate the target and bring him to Apophis.
After changing into a comfortable fit, she makes her way out of her apartment, with thoughts of sanitizing the whole house or maybe even buying a new one. She couldn't stand the fact that he was in her treasured apartment, and the thought of him coming back made her blood boil.
The location of the target was already confirmed as she had spent 5 days tracking his every movement before she got arrested. The location shows the popular bar and club at the back of the town.
The club is known for its drunk criminals and high teenagers, and the fact that it is on an abandoned side helps to keep the filthy business of drugs and weeds out of the police reach. Waiting for him on his regular way in and out near the dark alley, Luna lights a cigarette blowing the smoke out.
