The Devils Dance

Chapter 4. The Job.

Lara

I have to go do a job tonight. The "midnight" club. A club designated for those freshly 21 with money to burn. A club where my target will be in less than five hours.

Lewis Romano. A member of the Romano family, Dario's brother. The brother of the head of the Italian mafia. I have personal reasons to kill him but lo and behold enough people want him dead.

Dove gave me the job. She goes by two people in the underworld. "The shadow" For her job as a hacker as well as an assassin when I need help and the job as the person to get into contact with me. No one knows they're all the same person. They just know you contact that number to reach me. Dove willingly took that position. I didn't even have to ask her too. She knows i'm paranoid about the Italian mafia having anything on me so she takes those calls. Makes them untraceable. Making us untraceable.

I know Dominic had Dexter his right hand man try to get any information on me and Dove. we both had fun deleting the information as he clicked on it.

So close but yet so far.

I did some digging of my own on the American Mafia. They follow my rules, stay out of my way and make good money doing what they do. They have few problems but few can still prove to be great.

Now i'm getting ready to dead to the club. Lewis Romano can count his hours. Cause they're numbered and the clock is running out.

Tick Tock Lewis. You die tonight.

He'll get everything coming to him and more tonight.

He'll pay for the pain he caused me. The pain he caused Dove and the pain he's caused so many other innocent souls whose lives were taken before we could help them escape.

The countless scars i've covered up over the years with tattoos upon tattoos. To rid myself of the memories of the three years I spent in that horrid place. Beaten for killing their men who tried to touch me. Beaten for not eating the poisoned food. Beaten for not marrying their son cause I was 'made for life as a mafia wife'. Beaten cause I wouldn't become their assassin. Beaten because I was ungrateful, unbearable and so much more. Always beaten within an Inch of my life. Given time to heal and then beaten again.

Taking Doves beatings on top of that. I made a promise that nothing would ever harm her. She's my best friend. The only family i've ever known. I'd burn the entire world before Dove is unhappy.

Speak of Dove and she shall appear.

"You ready for tonight?" She asks softly. She knows what this man did to me. She was there, she witnessed it all.

"Ready as I'll ever be. Excited to see the light leave his eyes. Ecstatic to see his blood coat the floor. Sad I won't be able to torture him." I smile at her.

"You've got this Lara." She smiles and hugs me.

"Forever?" I ask.

"And always." She says.

"In this life?"

"And the next." She smiles.

"For the next hundred years?"

"Till the end of time." She beams.

"Sisters in every lifetime." We both finish.

A little mantra we've always had since we met. Kidnapped by the Italians was not easy. The way they treated us was not easy. Nothing about that experience was sunshine and rainbows. We were just kids trying to escape shitty orphanages. Finding ourselves in the hands of the sick and twisted.
