Blood and Flowers

Assassination Party

After mingling with a few others I knew and didn't know I went to sit at the bar. "What would you like to drink ma'am?" The bartender asked me.

"Coke and whiskey please." I said as I pulled my phone out. Nagata had messaged me to see if I was ok.

Mr. Akabane
You doing alright?
8:15 pm

Me
I'm fine, I was talking with some people when you texted me
8:20

Mr. Akabane
If you didn't respond just then I was going to track your phone down and make sure you were still alive.
8:20

Me
I'm fine Nagata. Besides if anything did happen then I will have Craig tell you.
8:21
Well I've got to go because there are some others I need to talk to. Love you ❤ talk to you when I'm done
8:21

I turned my phone off and set it back in my purse. "Here you go ma'am, a coke and whiskey." I took it and thanked him. I walked away from the bar after paying for my drink and went to talk to some other assassins.

"Have you seen Cristina? I'm looking for her and haven't seen her yet." I asked someone close to me.

"Oh she went to the washroom a second ago." The lady said.

"Thank you." I started heading to the washroom and accidentally bumped into an assassin I knew worked for the German Mafia. "I'm so sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." I said with a bow.

"Accidents happen but don't let it happen again. Besides I wouldn't want a pretty thing like you to get hurt." He said before pulling me close to him.

"I'm sorry but I've got to go to the washroom. So if you don't mind I will be on my way." I said pushing myself away from him.

"Let me walk you over there." He said as he grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the crowd. As I was about to walk into the washroom the German assassin spoke up again. "I don't think you should take alcohol into the washroom. Let me hold it for you." I wasn't even thinking when I handed it to him and slipped into the washroom.

"Cristina you in here?"

"Yeah, little help please." I ran into the stall she was in and locked it. She was trying to keep herself from throwing up so I grabbed her hair and rubbed her back.

"Your evenin sickness is getting worse. How many months are you along now?" I asked while she wasn't throwing up.

"I'm 7 months and 2 weeks through today." She said as she got up and wiped her mouth off with toilet paper.

"Let me help you wash up." I said as I guided her out of the stall and to the sink.

"Thanks Rose."

"No problem, but remember when we're at these events you gotta call me red flower."

"Oh shit I forgot, sorry."

"It's fine, let's just fix you up." I put her hair up in a mid high ponytail like she likes and after the washed her face I fixed her makeup. "Here you are. You feeling better?"

"Yes I'm feeling better. Thanks Cousin." She said as she hugged me.

"No problem, we should probably get out now." I said as we walked out of the washroom.

"Took you long enough, here's your drink back." I forgot he was standing outside waiting with my drink.

"Oh sorry for making you wait so long. I went in to help Cristina." I said grabbing my drink back. I could tell he put something in my drink but I didn't mind because I've grown immune to almost all poisons and sedatives.

"Who's this?" Cristina asked me.

"I'm Harold, and I'm asuming your name is Cristina?" The German assassin said.

"And I'm not going to say my real name for confidential reasons. But I go by The Red Flower." I said even though I didn't need to. I took a swig of my coke and whiskey and taselted something I wasn't immune to yet. "I forgot something in the washroom."

"Need any help finding it Red flower?" Cristina asked.

"No I'm good, I will be back. Go have fun Cristina,I will talk to you later." I walked back into the washroom and texted Craig.

Me
Someone spiked my drink with Midazolam, and I'm still not completely immune to it. Follow whoever takes me out of here.

Craig
On it.
I put my phone back into my purse and walked out of the washroom. "How's the drink?" Harold said.

"Fuck you. I don't know how you knew and I really don't care." I said while I started to feel sluggish. "I knew you spiked my drink but I didn't think it was that sedative." I said leaning against the wall near the washroom while Harold stood in front of me.

"Quite simple actually, only a handful of people are immune to that specific drug. Now if you don't mind letting the drug take full affect I'd really appreciate it." I slid down the wall with no strength at all.

"I hate you Germans." Was the last thing I said before I passed out.

{Harold's POV}

After she passed out I called my boss and he said to bring her in. I don't know what he wants with the 'red flower' but I follow orders. Every one who asked me what happened I just lied and said she drank to much. After I got her in the passenger side of the car I hopped in the drivers seat and brought her to the room he wanted her in. I tied her to a chair and took all the weapons I could find. Some of them were on her upper thighs so I had one of the maids grab them for me.

"Is she tied up Harold?"

"Yes sir, she's over there and all the weapons I could find on her body."

"Good, we can't risk her escaping." We both walked up to her and waited for her to wake up.
