Jake
I pulled up to the driveway, closing the door to the car as I met up with Mateo who was already there. We all met up; Me, Conan, Mateo, Vaughn and Elena at the old, dingy house. It looked like it was on the brink of falling apart on the splintered wooden pillars that held the mess of rotting wood. Maybe it was once a home with a dog running around with kids chasing it around, full of flowers. A family might have lived their last days there, in a blissful blur. But without anyone to occupy to space, it fell apart, rose bushes untended and windows shattered. Now that house was used for our twisted errands.
"You sure you're not going to get dirt on your dress" I snorted at Elena
"There's going to be your blood on this dress if you don't shut up" She spat back as I chuckled
"Tone down darling" Mateo joked as Elena shot him a death glare
"Careful gentlemen, you don't want your grave dug up" Vaughn warned with humor in his voice
"No joke, she shot some top shot CEO for not laying off" Conan chuckled
"He died a fast death for his luck" Vaughn added as we stepped into the house
One of the guards that attacked today were tied down, the one Elena knocked out. I gave her a proud glance as I approached him. He was still unconscious as I prodded him with my gun. He jolted awake, eyes adjusting to the light that we had hovering over his face.
"This one's yours" Vaughn muttered to Elena as she stepped forward and then others stepped back, hands in their pockets and a smug expression.
"Let's make this quick then" She said, an evil smile curling up on her face
"Please, don't kill me" He pleaded
"So you came into the club with what motive?" She asked in a soft but terrifying voice, lightly seductive
"We were ordered to-" He was cut off by an airborne knife that hit the wood of the chair, missing him by a centimeter
"Speak the truth, I'm asking again, what was your motive?" She asked, keeping her composure
"I was told to-to get you" He stuttered
"Who sent you?" She asked as I backed away, letting her take this
"What can you do even if I told you, curl your hair" He muttered under his breath as she threw another knife, hitting the small gap of wood between his legs as Conan let out a snicker
"Mind how you speak to my sister" Vaughn warned calmly
"Once more, who sent you?" Elena asked
"Zolotov, he wants you because Medina took his wife, he wants you badly to re-pay the favor, he marks your every move in London" The guard spilled out in a rush
"Would he have eyes on her outside London?" Vaughn asked
"In Spain?" I added, knowing his plan within a second
"He has no control there, Santiago has his area secured" He said as I looked at Vaughn
"Where is he?" Elena asked
He kept quiet.
One more knife shot through the air, this time hitting its target. It hit his thigh as he howled in pain from the impact, unable to move.
"Fucking bitch" He groaned
"Where is he" She asked, raising her voice a bit more
"I won't-"He was cut off by another knife being thrown at his thigh
She walked up to him, her heels clanking on the ground as she made her way to him. She bent down to his level, pulling the little blade out as he screamed in pain. She lightly traced it up to his throat, making sure not to cut him as she stopped at his throat.
"Now, let's finish this shall we" She whispered sensually
"Please, I have a wife to support" He begged "I love her, please"
"She's pregnant with my child!" He cried "She's about to have the baby next week, I'm her only way of supporting the baby, please, she's suffering cancer"
Something in her broke, shattered. She dropped her knife, letting it clash onto the ground as she backed up.
"Give me her name, and address" She asked, dropping the dangerous tone in her voice
"Please don't hurt her" He said, his voice cracking
"I'll make a deal with you" Elena said softly
"Work for me, as a spy for Zolotov, and I'll pay for all the treatments your wife and the baby needs" Elena stated
"Anything to keep her safe"
For once, I felt bad for him. It was the vulnerability of a lover that weakened him, and the same vulnerability that saved him and his lover's life. I saw Elena's guard slightly crumble. The cloud of sorrow now taking over her bright emerald-like eyes, a blank and stone cold expression glooming her face. She was a different person now. A curtain of straight black hair went down, slightly going lower than her breasts that spilled from the cut in her dress. She had wide hips, shaping her perfect slim figure. I tore my eyes away from her as she nodded once and left the room.
"You got lucky this time" Mateo growled as we all left the house, silently ordering the guards to take him away.
We all stood outside, staring at Elena.
"I couldn't let his wife starve, and now we have an insider" She reasoned
"How can we trust him?" Vaughn asked
"Look into his eyes, they spoke nothing but the truth" Elena said softly
"What did you mean by me going to Spain?" She asked after a slight pause
"You're going with Jake, for a little while until I get Zolotov, it'll just be a few weeks" Vaughn explained
"I'll have my servants alerted" I said briefly
"I'm not going there" She debated
"It's for your own good El" Mateo said quietly
"He's right" Conan added
"He's after you because of his wife, he won't stop at anything to get you" Conan explained
"I have maximized security there" I said
"I fully trust you with this" Vaughn said, running a hand down his hair
"I won't let that go" I said truthfully
