In the end I just say fuck it and instead of hitting the target, I just waste the bullet. I put the gun down and take the ear muffs off and look at him.
"I really suck at this"
He smiles while looking at me "with a little practice I'm sure you wil...

Since I walked in there's been eyes on me. Not the nice kind but the kind that either wants to capture me or get something from me.
For example the man standing to the far right of the girl I'm about to shoot. The way he's looking at me makes me remember someone I don't want to. I slowly glance at him and notice that he is in some sort of disguise.
It would have been weird if I didn't come prepared.
Which is also why I change my target and point the gun at him before pulling the trigger. His body bends forward from being hit by the bullet and everyone gasps at the change of target.
"Eureka, what are you doing?" Damien yells and runs towards me but I pay no mind to him.
"Who are you?" I ask when I see not a speck of blood flowing out of where I shot him.
"You heard the lady, show yourself" Henry says with his gun also pointing at him, which leads to the guards around to point their guns at us.
"Eureka, that's..." Damien goes to speak but I cut him off.
"Shut up" I say.
The hall becomes noisy with mummer and a laughter suddenly break out giving me chills. The man I shot straightens his body and looks directly at me.
"I knew you wouldn't forget me" He says and pulls his disguise off and for the first time in a long time I feel my whole body freeze.
Every emotion, every pain I've felt because of the man in front of me that I thought I would never see again has all the hairs on my body standing.
"Miguel" I whisper and he smiles. Henry looks at me when he hears the name as if asking if that's him.
"It was so difficult searching for you all these years. Then again I do understand since you've been hiding within the French mafia making a name for yourself"
The moment he mentions the French mafia, everyone in the hall looks at Henry and I. I glance at Damien and see his eyes widen.
Miguel continues "Nightingale was it? I don't think that name suites you very much"
"That's not true" Damien says with his eyes still on me but I give him no reaction.
"Not true? I should kill you for laying a hand on my woman" Miguel yells and walks towards us and I unconsciously take a step back.
Henry sees my reaction and begins to speak "I've been waiting for you to crawl out of whatever hole you were hiding in. Now I'll have the chance to kill your myself"
He laughs "I wasn't hiding and I also have snipers surrounding us, you think you will get out of here alive"
Damien's father who had been quiet since I pulled the trigger then spoke "You're supposed to be dead"
That's true. There was even news of his death but I knew it was a lie. The Miguel that I know would not die that easily and especially not in a fire.
That man is crazy. The fires would probably part ways for him to walk through as he was the craziest motherfucker I'd ever met.
Ignoring Damien's father I smirk and ask "what snipers?"
"You thought we came alone?" Henry says and the men we stationed outside come rushing in with armed guns pointing at everyone in the hall but most importantly Miguel.
His facial expression changes to one of shock and it makes me smile.
"You thought I was still afraid of you? Do you know why I trained to get to where I am now?" I ask "Everything I did was so I could kill you myself. I'm gonna make you feel pain you've never felt before"
I turn around and give an order to bag him before I walk towards Damien "Don't look so surprised. You should have known"
He chuckles"To think that the one and only nightingale was within my grasps all this time"
I push the slit on the dress away and pull out the dagger I brought as a birthday gift with his initials on it "Happy birthday" I say and hand it to him.
He take it and unsheathes it to look at it before looking back at me. "I could stab you with this" he comments
I nod "Yeah, you could but I'm sure you don't want to risk everyone here dying" I say with a shrug
He smirks"This is the best day I've ever had. I finally found out who the person always getting in my way is"
"Likewise" I say and walk back to Henry.
"We're letting them go?" He ask
"Yes, let them enjoy it for a while. There will be more opportunities. Lets retreat for now. We got what we came for" I reply and he nods and tells our guys to move out.
"Don't die before I have the chance to kill you myself" Damien yells out when I reach the entrance door and I can't help but smirk.
I let out a laugh before walking away thinking it's gonna be a fun week.
