         "That bastard tried to trick me!" Don yelled, shattering the poor vase on the shelf, in his office.

         "Chill, besides you planned to kill him after all," I said with my legs on his desk while sitting on his chair, tapping a pen on the desk.

         "That was different, and I would've succeeded if it weren't for those girls," he said. That piqued my curiosity, I stopped tapping.

         "What girls?" I asked.

         "I don't know. He said they were just nobodies messing around, and he was gonna kill them. But I bet they were his men in disguise, waiting for the right moment to attack," he seeths.

         "Interesting," I said and resumed tapping. He narrows his eyes at me.

         "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at the agency?" He asked.

          "Glad you finally asked," I said as I adjusted my cap, then stood up and walked towards him, "There's been a change in plans,"

          "What change," he asked cautiously. I smirked.

          "Your business is bringing too much attention, The Boss wants you to close it down,"

          "What? I-I can't, I invested most of my life in it. I can't just close it down," he panicked.

          "Well you should've thought about that before going on a shooting spree in a fucking construction site," I said calmly, stepping closer, "do you know how fucking risky it was to cover everything before the cops came?"

          "I-I...," he stuttered, stepping back.

          "And now," I said as I brought out the Colt gun that was neatly tucked behind me, in my belt. "I shall have to end everything,"

          "Please, please don't," he fell on his knees, begging. I reloaded the gun.

          "You said this business was your life right?" I asked, pointing the gun at him. He nodded frantically. "Well then, you're out of business,"

          "No no...," I pulled the trigger, shooting him in between the eyes. His blood splattered on my face.

          I brought out my handkerchief and wiped my face and hands as I took out my phone and dialed a number. I tucked the gun back in. The person picked on the first ring.

          "He's dead," I said. They hung up. I walked to the mirror and adjusted my clothes and cap. I looked at the framed picture of a woman and a five-year old girl on the desk. Poor girl, she doesn't even know what her dad has been up to. I tsk and walked out, humming one of my favourite songs.

          I walked into the elevator, still humming. I saw a hand hold the door as it was about to close. I slowly reached for the gun behind me. The door opened to a janitor. He greeted me and walked inside. I nodded and relaxed, and resumed humming. The elevator dinged and I walked out and left the hotel building, unnoticed.

           I sat down on a chair as Ava paced around.

           "So what are we gonna do now?" she asked.

           "We head back to Scorpion, and tell him what we saw," I replied. She stared at me.
