The Good Bad Girl

Chapter 13 Heels with blood

The New York Gala in all its richness was a fame that everybody wanted to be a part of. Everyone from the social class has showed in their twinkling attire showcasing money and power. A rich status that goes around with them. 

The minute I enter the main hall color coated in black and silver, I knew this was going to be a long night. I usually avoid crowded places especially the ones that contains all the snobs and spoiled people who thinks money is oxygen but tonight, my agenda is pretty clear. 

Involve myself in small talks as much as I can, find out about Benedict and wait until that motherfuker shows up. I have alerted all my men to be on position, no mistakes would be consider tonight because in this room there are two murderers and one target. Well, one murderer because Mi Zorro hasn't shown up yet. 

For the next hour I engage in as small talk as I can with the business crowd trying gain any information. I won't say my mixing around with the crowd didn't help. I got to know couple of rumors relating to Benedict and some gossip that still follows the minute that bastard showed up in a blonde disguise.

It didn't take me much time to recognize him as he talked to the ambassador. A white tux with a sand blond wig and glasses that highlights him in the crowd. Without wasting any time I press my shirt button turning the hidden camera on and clicking a few pictures of him. 

I left a coded message to Roco asking him to keep a watch on him through the cctvs for the entire night. Let him mingle a little for now and when time comes, my men will pick him up or that's what I had planned before I saw a shadow getting closer to him.

Black dress, high heels that laced around those gorgeous slender ankles, a maroon lipstick and those dark brown locks; Mi Zorro.

Fuck, she actually showed up and is already heading toward Benedict. Without knowing, my feet picks the movement. I try to reach her but the stupid crowd was between us slowing my steps. 

I accidentally bump a guy and apologised to him, too involved with the scene in front to give him my deathly glare. I walk past him and reach where Benedict was only to find it was empty. The crowd is here obviously but Mi Zorro and Benedict are nowhere in sight.

Fuck.

I quickly call Roco, "Find her right now,"

While he search for her through the cams, I use my leg and walk around the place finding her inside the private rooms of the Gala. Fifteen minutes have gone by but I couldn't find them.

Where the fuck did they go?

"Roco, I need leads."

"Boss, Benedict escaped," he says in his trained voice, 

"What do you mean he escaped?" I paused in the middle of an empty hallway. The floor glistened with ceiling lights. 

"He ran out from the backdoor to his car covered in blood."

Blood? Mi Zorro, what did you do?

"Get a tail on him and-" I stopped speaking when I saw Mi Zorro in the mirrored reflection opposite me. I quickly turn around and found her, looking at me with those wide almond eyes. Her hands curves into a tight knot, the slit of her dress reveals those gorgeous legs and a strap on her thighs which she quickly hides after feeling my stare. 

"Don't lose him," That's all I could say before cutting the call and taking a step toward her. She take an instinctive step backwards coating the carpet with someone thick and red. I glanced down to her heel that was covered in blood and like a switch I scan her body for any injury. My eyes travel the length of her body until they lock with her eyes.
