CHAPTER 2 - THE MEETING

No one ever listens, this wallpaper glistens. Don't let them see what goes down in the kitchen.

          It's been 2 days since my meeting with Silco, and today is the day we decided for me to meet this unknown person. Walking to the destination that we planned to talk at, I twirl a knife around my finger while deep in thought. Whoever this person has to be important to Silco, I wonder why though...
          Another thing my mom taught me was to keep my end of a deal. Making deals are one of my favorite things because I always receive stuff in return. It's always a way for me to get an easy kill if the person I'm dealing with doesn't keep their promise.
          5 minutes before Silco and I decided to meet I get to the old bar, with my knife still in hand. Entering the place I light a cigarette and look around the joint. People stare at me since I'm the daughter of two well-known assassins and am one myself. I take a seat in one of the booths by the bar and order my drink, which comes as soon as possible. Right on time, Silco enters the bar with a girl around my age.
The girl has bright blue hair and a look in her eyes that you can just tell she's crazy. Not only that, she's powerful from what her body language tells me. Why does Silco want me to guard her? She looks like she's strong enough to hold her own. "Nice to see you finally show up Silco," I greet him, trying to get something out of him.
"Hello Y/N, I would like you to meet Jinx. She is the one I want you to guard," voiced the man. I look at the girl and analyze her, watching everything she does with a deep stare. She seems to just grin at me manically, while I keep staring with the knife still twirling around my finger.
After 2 minutes or so of silence, while I watch, I take a deep breath and stop twirling my knife. Looking down at the drink, I finally breathed out, "Sit down you two, I wanna discuss how all this will work out." They sit down as I take a sip out of my drink. It's some kind of whiskey that my dad would always drink.
I let them get situated before I start speaking, making sure that they listen to every word I say. "I wanna know how and why you want me to protect this girl. I can tell that she's strong and could easily win a fight," I explained, making sure to keep my eye out for any traps.
          Silco stays silent for a moment, seeming to decide what he should say in response. "Jinx is strong but she can get carried away at times. Plus I want to make sure that nothing happens to her that will cause harm. You don't hesitate to kill and are strong, which is exactly what I'm looking for," he blankly states, staring at me with a menacing look.
        Jinx currently doesn't seem to be listening, she looks like she's just staring at you and smiling all goofy. For what I'm getting in return for shielding this psycho, I'd say this would benefit me a lot. "When will I start?" I asked in a curious voice, hoping to have time to mentally prepare myself for this. "I would prefer if you could start as soon as you could, so I would say tomorrow or the next day," he bores on, and I nod in affirmation.
          We finish our drinks and pay, soon walking out of the bar and splitting ways. I give a small wave as a form of saying goodbye, but only Jinx returns it much more expressively and lively. I smiled for a quick second but quickly stopped. No Y/N, you cannot show happiness like that in the open.

Let's get this shitshow started.
