COURTING DEATH

Chapter One

NALIAH'S POV

Don't make a sound. I tell myself as I watch the men move nearing closer to me. Fuck!. I knew I should have brought backup. They keep moving and I hold my breath as they pass the corner I am hiding behind. When the last of them move I reach for my com and call Isis. Come on...pick up. I pray impatiently waiting for my sister to pick up. " What do you want" She says the moment she picks the call. "Aren't you a ray of sunshine." I say rolling my eyes. " Can I hang up or did you call to say something else to me?" " I need backup are area 42." I say moving quickly to the cells where the girls being trafficked are kept. " Shit. Okay I am sending two teams to the location. Stay out of their view till they arrive." She said. " Too late they know I am here and I am in the creepy ass dungeons the girls are" I said clocking my gun. " I am in their system ok I see you through their cameras. There are two men about to get in their and bust you be ready. " She said. I heard the unmistakable sound of a moan in the background and stopped for a second. " Are you in bed with someone ?" I asked already cringing and gagging internally. " I was getting fucked good till you called me" she said nonchalantly. Ew. Ew. Ew. " I didn't need to know that" I said. But to be honest I expected it. It's Isis for crying out loud. She was so open about sex and she didn't mind it. She was bi and most of the time(like now) I knew it wasn't just one person in her bed.

" Those two guys I told you about. Yeah they are coming in now." I turned and just as they entered I shot.

"Good aim" she mumbled. "Always" I answered. I knew for a fact the rest heard the noise and were bound to check it out so I had to rush. "Okay there is an exit through the pipes and you will get to where the teams are. Matter of fact one team has already taken out most of the men the remaining are waiting for you and the girls" she said. I nodded knowing she could see me and I opened the cell gates and the girls started to back away to the far corner whimpering and begging for mercy. Those men are going to pay for what they have done. " Don't worry I am not here to hurt you. Just follow me and I will get you out of here " I tried soothing them. All were teenagers but one. The woman seemed to be almost 20 she gathered them behind her and tried to keep them safe. " I won't hurt any of you" I reassured her. " What's your name" I asked." Mercy" the lady answered. " How long have you been here Mercy?" I asked. " Four years." I gasped. " I promise you Mercy I will help you ok. You and these girls". She stared at me for a while discerning if she should trust me before finally nodding. She helped me get the girls to the pipes where they slid down and where caught by the team outside. After all including Mercy were out I went to the room where Sidrov was.

Who is Sidrov? Sidrov is the man behind most of the female, child and sex trafficking in America. He has been my target for the last 6 years and today, he was finally mine for the kill.

I move swiftly killing anyone in my path as I finally get to the office where the fucker is hiding. I find him casually sipping on bourbon. He looks at me as though he is expecting me and I know it's a trap but all rationality fly's out the window when I see a girl on the couch tied up and bleeding from God knows where.

"Sidrov. Let her go." I said anger dripping from my pores. " You are a smart woman you know." He said pouring more into his glass that was only half full. Greedy mother fucker. I thought. " But your weakness is you have a heart and you are a woman." He said. " Well you have so many I can't even begin to list them" I said. " Such a smart mouth should be put to use. Come here darling" He said. I cringed and pulled out my gun ready to end him. " Before you do that." He said unbuttoning his shirt. Does this fat ass think I will sleep with him? Cause I think not. He revealed bombs attached to him and I knew instantly I wouldn't like it. " The bombs are connected to my heart beat. Kill me and the place goes kaboom" he said smirking. In a second, the room was flooded with men and I knew I was screwed. " Stay calm and do as he says men will be there in a few seconds " Isis said over the coms. I almost forgot about her. And true to her words the place erupted in war when my people came in through the windows and doors. The smell in the air was that of gun powder and the adrenaline rushing through me was just thrilling. How many people I killed? I don't know but just as I was about to get to Sidrov a helicopter came and dropped a ladder to which he climbed up very quickly. One of my men was about to shoot at him and I stopped him. " Let him go. I'll give him a chance to think he is safe before I kill him in the worst way imaginable." I said and he nodded. " That's dark girl but I gotta go I have a girl ready to eat my pussy and a man with a glorious dick. See ya!" Isis said before I gagged out loud and my men looked at me weirdly and I shrugged.

I went out and found the girls getting treated and helped by Mona and her medical team. She is our Mafia's head doctor and my sister. She came and greeted me while tending to the cut on my wrist. " Huh, didn't even notice that" I said. " Well you did have an adrenaline rush so that explains why you didn't even notice your bleeding" she said. " What are you doing after" I asked. She was introverted. She loved spending time reading books and staying in. She enjoyed her own company more than she did people. She was the family weirdo. But then again we were all weird.

" I want to go home and read." She said. I nodded knowing better than to argue she go out. " And you?" she asked in a low tone. " I have an interview for a new job" I answered. " What?" She asked. " Well I am bored of laying around waiting to find the next child and or female that's needs help and my company is thriving and Luna can handle it but you know I want to live a somewhat normal l life that doesn't involve guns. And plus if I get bored I can always go back to this and..." I was about to continue before she cut me of. " You don't need to explain yourself. I get it." She said and hugged me. " Take care of this girls " I said standing and hugging her bye. I went to my car and drove to my penthouse and took a shower ate and submitted my resume for the interview I was to do at Santis enterprise.

I laid myself to bed and in a matter of minutes I was whisked away to sleep.
