The rest of the day was long and boring. I was constantly on edge about meeting these mystery men tomorrow, it made me wonder that if they were called in then it must be a dangerous mission.

More so than usual.

It had been a long time since we had something as big as this. Infact, we've never had to call in help.

I just hoped these guys would understand that I work best alone and that they should leave me to do my thing, whilst they get on with theirs.

I didn't need any men getting in my space.

After the early morning meeting with Angelo, I went back to my apartment as the girls were working so I couldn't be bothered by them. Instead, I spent the rest of the day watching mindless television.

It was the evening now and I headed downstairs, wanting to watch Vienna work her magic in the strip club.

But first I headed to the bar for my favourite drink.

Finley had spotted me making my way over so had already made a martini for me like the angel she is.

"You off to see Vienna?" She asked.

I nodded, "it should be her last dance of the night, so hopefully she doesn't get caught up or anything,"

"You know her, she'll make sure not to leave you." She laughed, "anyway I should be able to join you in a few."

"Okay." I took my drink and headed over to the strip club entrance, smiling at the bouncer who let me through.

I sat down at the back in a corner, away from the customers.

Normally, I would be appreciating the skill and strength Vienna and the other women had to dance on the poles, but tomorrow was still plaguing my mind.

I'd never interacted much with men before, besides the ones I kill, but obviously that's not the same.

I think I may have a slight phobia of them.

I'd never had a boyfriend, never been close and I've only had a few one night stands, which only happened every couple of months when my usual methods weren't enough anymore.

This left me puzzled on how to act.

God, I needed to snap out if it. I don't know why I'm bugging out.

I probably won't even see them much.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I felt the seat next to me dip.

"Whatcha thinkin' about?" Vienna questioned.

"Just tomorrow." I answered truthfully.

"Oh god, yeah. I hope they're all good looking." She gushed.

I gave her an unimpressed look.

"Seriously, Fal. Whatever the mission is, you'll do great. You're the toughest person I know!"

"Thanks." I gave her a small smile.

At that moment Finley came to join us.

"How was your shift, Vie?"

"The same. Just the usual customers to dance for. Nothing exciting." She explained.

Finley nodded, before turning to me, "no more drinking tonight, Fal." Noticing my empty drink, "you need to be on your best behaviour tomorrow."

"Thanks mom but I don't need a lecture." I grumbled.

She smiled at me guiltily.

"Why don't we have a girls night at mine." Vienna suggested.
