The Enemy

Chapter Six

Alex

I was not expecting to see him here of all places and I'm visibly surprised. He was looking down at me no doubt trying to figure out why I just bumped into him and is now just staring at him like I've seen a ghost. Well in my defense I am most definitely looking at a ghost or a man who very well soon become one. "I'm so sorry I did not see you there." I say sheepishly trying to act like a shy girl on her first day. I'm seriously channeling my inner Amy.
"It's all good pretty girl. You okay? You look like you're having a hard time." He says holding me by my elbows as if I'm going to fall over. I smile at him innocently and nod my head as to say yes. "Yea it's my first day and my boss called me into his office because I've been messing up orders all night." I let my eyes well up as if to appear like I may start to cry. "I think he's going to fire me" I put a lock of hair behind ear and look away like im going to cry and don't want him to see.
"Nahhh I've heard Matteo is a pretty gentle boss especially with the pretty girls. I'm sure he'll give you another chance." He wiped my face wiping away the one tear that fell from my eyes. Faking tears is serious stuff and I can never manage to get more than one out. However that always seems to do the trick whenever it calls for it. "Listen when you're off I'll wait for you by the service entrance. I'll take you to get some late breakfast try to get your mind off of what's really bothering you because j don't think the job is what's really wrong" I didn't say anything I just nodded and let him walk off.

That was two weeks ago now I'm getting ready to meet him for drinks in Philadelphia. I've never been to Philadelphia but from what I've heard about it it's a pretty decent city. If you go to all the decent places but he's taking me to a not so decent area.

Yea I've done my research

In the past two weeks he's managed to wiggle his way into the Mafia he's even had contact with the boss and I'm kind of salty about it because just as they were meeting Ana needed me. I've been made a vow that no matter where I was or what I was doing I would drop everything for her no matter how small it was. So I was forced to miss the meeting and I contemplated with letting this drag out  just long enough for them to meet again just so I could get a glimpse of who the mysterious mob leader is. I know curiosity killed the cat but I'm no damn cat, I'm just curious.

Anyway he's doing a drop on the west side of Philly and being that Carter is from there I've now know lot about how it's not a good place to be if you're not from around there. I asked some indirect questions about it saying I was thinking of going clubbing down there because some of the girls at work were talking about it. She was more than willing to shoot me down saying hell no it's really not somewhere I want to be. So I figure tonight would be as good a night as any. I know I'm sort of like his cover for why he would be in Philadelphia in the first place but i dont intend to let anyone see me with the guy whose about to spend his last night breathing. I don't have anything against Alex I think he's a really nice guy and I almost feel bad for him but I know better than to get personal with a target it just creates a lot of mess I don't have time for.

Just as I slipped my handgun in the garter on my thigh under my dress my phone rang. "Hello" I answered out of breath. "Hey Samantha I'm going to be about 30 minutes are you ready?" Alex asked from the other end I can hear the wind blowing so I know he's driving.
"Yea almost I just got out the shower I'll be ready in 20 just let me know when you're outside." The address he has is 20 minutes from where I actually live and since this has been nothing but harmless flirting and late night dinner conversations I'm happy i didn't have to go the extra mile in renting out a space for the month.
"Sounds good I'll see you then" he hung up and I grabbed my watch before heading out the door. Before I leave I want to tell Ana I'm going to be late tonight. She's having a few friends over tonight which is good I'm happy she has friends.
