The SACRIFICE

Assassination

The time was 5 pm I only had two hours to get to the club which was not an issue, as I knew I was gonna get there in time the issue was me battling to choose the correct outfit. I have always been a law enforcer now placing myself in the shoes of a gangster was a little bit rough.

After what felt like an eternity I settled on an all black outfit a long sleeved shirt, jeans, combat boots and a leather jacket while my hair was in a tight ponytail.

"Yes mam, you certainly look like a Scarlet" Jasmin said as I walked down the stairs

"Are you for real or you just wanna boost my confidence?" I asked

"You look good however there are a few things you lack, wait right here I'll be back" She said rushing up the stairs

Jasmin came back with some combat gloves and a rifle bag.

"Do I really need those?" I questioned

"Where have you seen a chef in a kitchen without her knife" she said sarcastically

"Well let's hope I will need them" I said

I looked at the time and had an hour to get to the club it would take me about 45 min to get there but I decided to get there a little earlier to survey the place I might just get some more information. My team were to stay behind for this one after all it was my first time I didn't want to bring any suspicion or risk anything going out of hand.

As I drove through the busy streets of Santon I received a call.

"Hey baby" I answered

"You don't miss me?" Sia asked with a cute sad voice

"I do, I am really sorry I didn't leave a text or anything I had a busy I was about to call you though" I lied

"It's okay honey I have been busy myself, are you still busy?" She asked

"No I am not I am on my way back home" I lied more

We talked about how we spent our day and how much we missed each other and in no time I was parked outside the club, I got out of the car as usual the club was full outside and inside. I had to squeeze myself to get to the bar instead of the face I saw earlier there was a bar man by the name Sam who was busy making cocktails.

I sat there by the bar with my whiskey glass while looking at the ladies who were half naked stripping and dancing for the man who were swarmed by the stage as if protecting their queen, some were throwing bills on the stage while some were whistling.

"Enjoying the show?" A voice said

"Not really" I said turning my head towards the tall figure

"By the way my name is Paxton but you can call me Pax" the lady said

"Nice to know you Pax I am.."

"Scarlet I caught that earlier" she said cutting me off

After downing my glass Paxton told me to follow her, we went through a dark passage which had a few rooms with closed doors we got to this other room written 'Room 4' in bold Paxton knocked two times before the door swung open.

The room was just like an ordinary office but there was a twist to it, there was a ladder on the floor which led to an underground warehouse. To say I was shocked would be an understatement.

"Welcome to the sanctuary Scarlet" Paxton said

The place had a wall filled with all types of guns, a computer station and a money counting station. Paxton took the little time we had to show me around and showing me all the exits and entrances to the warehouse along the way I had the pleasure of meeting a few people and one familiar face.
