WANTED

chapter 5

I walked out of my bathroom feeling relief wash through me. I walked to my closet to get everything ready. I put the outfit I've put aside for this particular mission into my bag...the outfit gives me killer girl vibes.

I put the guns I'll be needing and other necessary tools, after arranging everything I needed for my little mission. I picked a simple top and jeans to put on...I couldn't go out dressed like an assassin I wouldn't hear the end of it.

After making sure everything was ready I kept my bag aside and then walked out of my room to find my dad.

I found him in his office staring seriously at his computer.

" Dad, I need to talk to you"

"What is it princess"?..he asked... I rolled my eyes at the nickname because it just reminded me that I'm being treated as one, no offense tho because if you check I'm the Mafia princess but I'm not treated as one but rather I'm treated as a Disney princess.

So annoying. If my dad saw that I just rolled my eyes at him, he'd be giving me an earful.

He finally acknowledged me after finishing whatever it was he was doing with his computer...I know better than to disturb him when he is being this serious especially since I know he is in a tight fit because of the mission tonight.

"Yes princess."...he repeated and I fought the urge to roll my eyes.

" Dad I just wanted to let you know I'll be staying over a Stella's tonight since you'll be out tonight."

Being a big bad don... I thought to myself and chuckled silently. If only he knew.

"That's okay princess". Again that name.

" Just be safe and don't think of going clubbing " he warned...

" yes Dad I won't"...I told him.

I won't be going to a club but a ball...not that I said it out anyway.

With that being said I turned to return to my room...I was running out of time. With my hand on
the doorknob about to turn and leave..he spoke again.

" Don't try anything, funny princess." With those words of his my heart nearly leaped out of my chest like he had caught on to what I was about to do but I pushed it down quickly. I couldn't let it consume me.

So turning back to him with a smile on my face I said " Yes Dad nothing funny" But something dangerous if that is okay with you...I thought to myself.

I returned to my room picked up my bag and left the mansion. I threw my bag in the passenger seat and drove out of the house.

After driving for a short while...I stopped somewhere secluded. I changed from my jeans and top to my killer girl black outfit. I needed something that could fit my mission. I returned back to the wheel to continue my journey.

This particular ball is to be held in a five-star hotel in one of the biggest halls and for this particular event every other thing is canceled in that place..they had the whole place for themselves.

My problem now is how to get in.

I reach the hotel and see that the front was heavily guarded and I can't say less for other places.

What do I do now?... I bring out the layout of the hotel and examine it closely. I look for places I know won't be heavily guarded... Something switched in my brain, it clicked..the underground passageway that leads to the cold room..that's it.

I quickly make my way out of my car...I parked at a distance so no one would notice my arrival.

I quickly made my way to the passage and tried as much as I could to stay hidden from preying eyes...quickly checking left and right I opened the passage and slipped in closing it behind me.

I crawled on my fours as quickly as I could and then saw the small ladder that led to the cold room. I climbed up towards it staying as quiet as possible. I reached the last step and tried opening the little window but it was giving me a tough time because it felt stuck.

" Dammit," I cursed in frustration...If I hit it I don't know if someone is in there, it might attract attention which is the last thing I want..so taking a deep breath I took out a flat rod from my bad and tried prying the window open...yes, I came prepared.

After several attempts the window finally gave way. YES! I did a little happy dance in my head.

I slipped through the window as quietly as possible. Damn, this room is so cold,  I silently raced to a hidden spot where I can quietly observe if there was no one there...after making quick observations and spotting no one in the room, I went to the door of the cold room to see if it can be pried open but as I tried to open the door it refuse to bulge...I tried a few times still nothing...I tried again and realized that the stupid door was chained and locked from the outside.

Just my luck.

I had to act fast I didn't have time. I needed to think fast or else I'll die a frozen statue in this damn room.

Looking around for anything that could save me  I looked left, right, front, back, and all around me then I finally looked up and the answer to my prayer was just staring down at me...the ceiling...why didn't I think of this earlier? And here I was already smelling death

This time it won't be that hard because they already had things stuffed tall enough for me to climb. All I needed to do was climb carefully and quietly.

After successfully climbing...I take back my previous statement...it was hard..coupled with the fact that I was in a cold room.

I opened the ceiling and slipped into it then fixed it back...slowly I crawled again on all fours looking down to find somewhere safe to land.

I spotted a dark room down...I didn't want to be too sure so I stayed quiet with my breath held to listen for any movement.

When I was sure there was no movement...I again opened the ceiling and carefully jumped down.

I stayed quiet to make sure no one was down I quickly started to survey my surroundings. Finally relaxing, I opened the door to the room I was then quietly stepped out of the room.

I looked left and right making sure no one was there. Spotting no one, I began my walk.

Finding a quiet place I quickly called the don.

This time he picked on the second ring..." Don everything is ready" I cut straight to the chase..." Good " that's all he said before the line went dead.

I had to call him before setting up cause I've taken a lot of time...Gabriel should have called since.

With determination in mind, I moved to find a place to set up and wait for my target.
