Love can get you killed

Chapter 4

They dumped the head and the organs into the river,

"You sure no one would look for him here?" Leon couldn't stop a snort, "if they do find it, then they certainly won't find out who the person is." Leon had found a little bug in their system and found out, that a guy named Nick had tried to hack into their computers, of course he failed and instead told them exactly where he was. "Hell, they wouldn't," Ren his co-worker and his friend said. It took them about ten minutes to find Nick and then forty-five minutes to rip his head, hands, legs, toes, nails, and the rest of him to then finally dumping him here. Nick wasn't popular so he didn't really have anyone to miss him, it didn't matter for any of them. "Well, he was good since we didn't notice him hacking our systems the day after." Ren was smart, he already knew the answer to the question, which means that he just wanted to tease him. "I'm not in the mood Ren" was all he could say as they walked away from the river. "Okay dude, by the way, don't you have a party to attend?" Leon gritted his teeth as Ren dulled his elbow into his waist. He did have a party to be at soon.

"you're an idiot you know that?" Ren huffed at Leon's reply to his joke, "I very much know, that's why you like me so much" Leon smiled at the memory of how he met his best friend, Ren met him at a bar, drunk of course, and told Leon he could hack into any system without anyone knowing. They bet on it and very well, Ren hacked into his system drunk, without leaving a single trait of anyone being into their system. Leon hired him on the spot.

"If you stop being an asshole, we can actually drive to the party without being late" Ren stared at Leon as if he were an ghost, "you're not going to change?" Leon just shrugged, saying as if he had no worries. "We don't have time" again Ren stared at him, confusion took all over his face, but it quickly turned into an ashamed look. "Nah bro I can't let you go to a party looking like a drunk old grandpa" his accent tipping over at the word grandpa. "We stop at my place and get you a nice little suit" Leon couldn't stop his laughter from erupting his throat, Ren began laughing too.

                              ...

Leon looked at himself with a nice suit in the mirror,

His hair was still a little wet after the quick shower he was forced to take. The suit itself fit him well enough, tomorrow he would get married, and he couldn't wait for it to be over. This party was just to celebrate the last day of freedom, well, he couldn't argue with that. Leon just kept on staring at himself in the mirror until Ren walked into the room.

"They are waiting for you" Leon just sighed in response, "then let's get this over with."

                            ...

Leon was very much bored, he sat at the table talking with old cranky rich men, they were babbling about the food isn't "hot" enough or that the table decorations wasn't the right color. He couldn't stop the yawn running from his mouth, he smoothly covered his mouth, he was so bored he might as well just leave,

and that's exactly what he was going to do.

As he was about to stand up, he saw her, with steady steps she walked down the stairs, her beautiful red dress with a thigh split to her knees, he must have seen that dress before, somewhere, but he didn't remember who was wearing it.  her raven hair down to her chest, and she was breathtaking. Katlin elegantly walked down the stairs with a red-haired girl at her side, when she reached the end many people, mostly men, almost ran to talk to her.

He realized he was standing, his mouth almost open by the sight of her, he couldn't argue with himself, if she kept dressing like that when they would be married, he wouldn't be able to control himself for long. 

He sat back, he would much rather push all those people away from her, so he could introduce his dearest friend, Satan. They would surely gotten along. But somehow, he examined her, he didn't care if she was who she was, if she didn't change out of that dress soon, he would be tearing it off himself, and then he didn't know what to do.

Someone patted his shoulder, he turned around, furious but also grateful, now he doesn't have to look at the devil in disguise anymore. It was the senator, "Is that your bride?" Leon was confused, until he remembered, she was.

" Yes, my beautiful bride" he had to grit his teeth at the word "beautiful" yes, she was pretty, but not beautiful, he had seen better. "Would you mind introducing me?" his grey hair and the wrinkles shone in excitement, the old man probably in his mid-sixty. Leon really didn't want to introduce Satan to an innocent person, but he was sure the old man could handle Lucifer. So, Leon stood up and said in a soft voice, "then let's go."

                           ...

The senator and Leon walked with proud steps toward Katlin, she was talking to businessmen he didn't know of, she probably wanted to have a nice talk with them, well he would make sure that won't happen. She hadn't spotted them until they stood face to face with each other, Katlin looked surprised for a small second then she quickly plastered a smile on her lips and looked at the senator. She only gave a nervous peek at him, good, she should feel nervous. "You look lovely Mrs..." The senator waited for Katlin to reply but Leon answered him before Katlin could.  "Mrs. Hames sir" Leon answered, the senator smiled in appreciation, but Katlin couldn't bother to try hide she was about to barf when he said her name as Mrs. Hames. He didn't want to call her as that too but was it really necessarily of her to almost gag? He felt mad at her for doing so, he will make sure she would get her punishment tomorrow. The senator was old and almost as short as Katlin was, so he had to look down as the senator replied. "Right right, so miss Hames, please tell me how you met this handsome young man." Leon didn't mind the senator calling him handsome, he very much liked it in fact, but he couldn't wait to hear how they met. Katlin looked nervous to answer the question and seemed desperate, because she peered her eyes on him to quietly ask for help, too bad she wouldn't get any from him, he smiled seeing her wheels spinning inside the head of hers.

"Oh sir, I'm sure Leon here would much rather tell the story, because after all it was his idea." His smile dropped face flat, but her satisfied smile stung at Leon like he was some prey, and she was the predator, what a clever yet still stupid girl she was. The senator gazed his eyes on Leon hoping to hear something good, too bad, that old guy will soon get a heart attack. Leon grunted and spilled their fabulous meeting. "Oh, it's such a funny story, you see, I went to a strip club, I saw Katlin perform as a stripper, and I just couldn't get my eyes off her all night, so I asked her out." The poor old guy had his mouth open as Leon told him about their funny little meeting. Even Katlin had her mouth open, she looked at him with rage while looking all uncomfortable and kept stroking her arms, Leon almost wanted to laugh by their reactions, a payback. Only that the senator had to be a part of it, before Katlin could get her head back in the game the man stuttered, "well, that sounds like an interesting meeting, yeah, if you guys excuse me, I have to go there and um, he pointed to the snack table, "talk to some old friends." And he almost ran away from them. Leon let a small laughter slip from him throat before looking back at Katlin. She looked fuming. Her brows was so far down and her eyes was like an angry dragon. She then angrily grabbed his arm and leaded them to a small hallway, she didn't grab onto him hard but she could walk dang fast, but he didn't let go, instead he was interested to see exactly how mad she was. Hopefully very he thought. Her emerald eyes scanned the hall for people, she found a chair and sat down, fixed her dress as she sat. She became even shorter so he might as well be looking at his shoes, she turned her head anxiously to the right and left, when she heard none and saw none she shouted, "what the hell was that, Leon? A strip club? Now everyone thinks I'm a whore and a slut!" He was feeling honest, he wanted to see how bad she can sting and answered with a toying tone, "but you are a whore." Katlin actually seemed hurt at his comment, then she whispered with an angry voice, "don't call me that, people get called a whore by a reason or to get money, but some gets called a whore by force." She was breathing loudly and fast when she finished, Leon was shocked, but before he could hide it and tuck it away in a small box, Katlin had left with tears in her eyes.
