5- HE IS BACK

The hotel party

A group of men sat at a large table, laughing and drinking under the dim light of the chandelier.

One of them spoke up, his voice laced with fear.

"You know, our leader and two team members were caught by that assassin. She killed our leader and left a note for Lucifer, thinking we knew him. But we don't. Lucifer isn't the one who gave us orders. Someone else bought us, and that man was killed two years ago."

Another man chimed in,

"Yes, we're not Lucifer's men. We were just paid to pretend to be. Everyone got two million dollars."

A woman, about 5'7" in height, hid behind a pillar, listening intently to their conversation.

Her eyes narrowed, and her jaw clenched as she fumed with anger.

Suddenly, the room lights went out, and she attacked the guards, cutting their throats with her sharp hand knife.

The lights flickered back on, revealing the guards lying in a pool of blood.

The four men at the table looked at her with fear as she stood tall, her black dress and gloves a stark contrast to the blood flowing from her knife.

Her pitch-black eyes shone like diamonds in the light, and her small frame seemed to radiate an aura of power.

She took out a gun, shot one man in the chest, and then shot two more times, taking down the other three men.

They tried to fight back, but she dodged every punch and cut their legs, rendering them helpless.

As she walked towards the last man, who was cowering in fear, she put the gun to his chin and lift demanded, "Tell me who ordered you to kill him. If you're not Lucifer's men, then who bought you?"

She dug the knife deeper into his thigh, and he screamed in agony.

"I'll tell you, please leave me alone!" he pleaded, but she just smirked, her face hidden behind a mask.

Just then, a guard shot her in the arm, and she hissed in pain.

She turned her gun towards the guard and shot him in the forehead, her aim true despite the distance.

She then turned back to the man, her eyes blazing with intensity. "Now, tell me."

"We don't know his name. He just contacted our boss on the internet. Only our boss met him and gave us money.

I swear, I don't know anything!" he cried in pain, screaming and begging her to leave him alone.

But she dug the small knife deeper into his thigh. "Ahh...ahhh, please leave me!" he screamed in agony, his blood and flesh crimson.
