Criminal Detective

Gun To Your Head

As Claire walked into the room, her eyes were quick to catch the trail of blood leading up to two bloodied men chained to the wall.

Her pupils widened in shock.

"What the fu-" She mouthed to herself.

"Miss Williams" Roberto shouted. Claire looked forward and found him leaning into Asha with her seated on top of his lap and his hand wrapped around her waist.

As she closed her distance with him she could hear the moans of the wounded men. A part of her felt relieved that they were at least alive.

"How are you?" Roberto smiled as she reached the front of his table. "Have a seat" He said and gestured towards the chair in front of her. Claire nodded and placed herself quickly on top of it.

Claire stared at the duo and remained silent. Roberto's head was rested on Asha's bosoms while she rubbed his head gently, while both were a complete bloody mess. A part of her felt uncomfortable as she tried to process all that was happening in the room at once.

"You said you wanted to see me?"

Roberto peered his eyes open a bit and arched an eyebrow "I did?"

Claire stared dumbfound.

"I'm just kidding. I know I did. I told Asha to call you" He said and stared at her with a bright smile and strong sense of attraction. Despite her lips being covered, you could see the crinkle under her eyes that showed she also shared a bright smile on her face. She continued to rub Roberto's head gently which he comforted himself into.

As Claire was about to speak, there was a loud scream before a door opened behind Roberto and Asha and the second masked Samurai lady stepped outside of the room with a head on a platter.

Claire's pupils widened even further.

Her heartbeat had spiked even higher compared to how fast it was when she entered the room.

"There" The lady said in a strong British accent then set the platter in front of both men "That's your subordinate that refused to talk"

"Please, I don't know anything" One of the men begged.

"Well, dead one here said one of you knows the guy who tried to kill Roberto. And, considering the look in his eyes before he died. He didn't lie"

Both men stared at each other in fear.

"So, who knows, eh?" She asked but both parties remained silent.

"I said, who knows?"

They both remained quiet.

"They tried to get a hit on me" Roberto said which made Claire turn to him "A rival gang. They saw an opportunity and tried to use it as quick as they could. Not that I blame them, I would do the same. But, I would be much smarter about it"

Roberto said then wrapped his second arm around Asha and pulled her closer which made her giggle.

Despite how someone had been murdered and two men were being tortured, the romantic atmosphere between the two seemed to not falter.

In fact, all that was happening seemed to be the fuel behind their happiness.

"Alright" Claire turned back to the other masked lady "Since you don't want to talk, I'll make you talk"  She pulled out a small dagger out of her pocket then began to draw a straight and slow line on one of the men.

Claire cringed at not just the tempo but the wounds that slowly formed.

The man screamed in agony as she continued and Roberto sighed.
