"You took your time" I said
"I had to get here" Adonis said simply
I looked at him as he walked towards me
He wasn't looking me in the eyes, he was tense in his shoulders
Something was wrong
"What's the matter?" I asked

"What?" He asked suddenly
"Your face. It's doing that thing when you're all tense and angry" I said
"Nothings wrong, who is it we're seeing?" He asked

"You're changing the subject" I pointed out
"I'm focusing on the job" he said
"Always do don't you?" I said, chucking my cigarette to the floor

He grabbed my arm when I began to walk to the building
Pulling me back to his chest
"I'm sorry" he said, catching me off guard
"What?" I asked
"The other night. I'm sorry" he said

He was... serious?

"You're sorry" I repeated
"Yes. I should have... I didn't mean to..."
I smiled at him
"You suck at this" I said
"Yeah" he sighed, letting me go
"Let's just... let's get this done" he said, stepping back.

He waited for me. So I closed the step between us, and kissed his cheek
Surprising him
"What are you doing?" He asked
"Annoying you" I answered, before walking towards my target once again

I got inside the building, to the elevator, before Adonis quickly caught up with me, standing in silence together
"Who is this guy?" He asked after a moment
"This woman is a highly respected doctor. And my management" I explained

"Your management?" He questioned
"Yes, she deals me the jobs" I said, before the elevator opened
"She's been looking for me. So, we'll pay her a visit" I said, stopping at her office door

I opened it, finding her at her desk
She looked up with a smile, her face dropping when she saw us
I closed the door, leaving Adonis stood guard by it as I sat down opposite her

She pulled a gun out quickly, pointing it at me
"I haven't even told you why I'm here, and you point that at me? A little presumptuous don't you think?" I asked

"I've been calling you. You little shit. Went round your house. You weren't there. What the fuck are you playing at 709?" She asked, irritated
"709?" Adonis echoed
"And why have you brought him huh? Why are you knocking around with his security? Why isn't he dead?" She snapped

"Put the gun down" I said
"Answer me" she said
I sighed, quickly flipping it out of her hand and into mine
"I'm a little more experienced than you now don't you think?" I asked bored

Her face hardened
"I mean when were you last in the field eh? Twenty... four years ago?" I asked
"Tell me what you want you little bi-"
"Ah, no need for that now... I always imagined how it would feel to hold a gun to your head" I laughed
