Loving His Assassin

Chapter 8 : The Deal

EDITED

"What did you call me?" I asked not believing what I heard.

"You heard what I said. Let's get going."

I glared at him for a few seconds and nodded. I would have to ask him later... Well, if we had a later cause when he would be free, my job would be finished. All I needed was the money and poof I was gone. Anyways doesn't matter...

"Okay, this way. M. do you copy? Is there someone in the staircase?" I said while walking toward the stairs.

"No it's clear, but the guards on top are coming close to the tower be careful."

"Rogers."

I quickly took the stairs not wanting to find some guards on my way. Then I stopped at the end waiting and listening for any suspect sounds.

"M. Where are they?" I whispered wanting some confirmations.

"Shit! They're posted in front of the entrance of the tower, talking."

I mumbled a curse, okay at the entrance, there were a camera and two guards. Think, use your brain!

"M. Can you neutralize the camera for how long?"

"For 10 seconds or they will notice it."

I turned to face my master.

"Derek, I'll need your help for the guards over there," I asked looking at him.

He was standing in the staircase with confidence with crossed arms. Damn, he looked so sexy right now.

"What are we waiting for?" He asked while raising an eyebrow.

I hope he didn't notice me staring at him. He was so handsome, like a Greek god. I'll gladly accept if... No, no! Concentrate on the plan first then fantasize later. I nodded in answer to my master. We discreetly went toward the guards and hid behind the wall.

"Okay M. When you're ready," I murmured while preparing myself to hit the guy neck. We waited for I think two or three minutes before Matt gave us the signal. I looked at my master, and he immediately understood. At the same time, we knocked them off, threw them in the tower.

"N. You have 5 seconds left," warned Matt while counting down.

"We have to run," I said and executed my words.

I looked behind and was relieved that my master followed me. Then I took out the rope I had hidden on me.

"C. You copy? Are you ready to take us back?"

"Yes N. I'm waiting for you two at the bottom of the wall."

"Roger."

I gave a piece of rope to my master and told him to bound himself to it. I did the same and told him to go first. So he did and then I felt a three consecutive tug, my signal to go. I easily went down the wall, and I caught a glimpse of Claire and my master waiting while watching me.

When I finally touched the ground, we followed Claire. She took us somewhere with no guards nor camera.

After a good fifteen minutes, we finally reached the car. We went in and I sighed in relief. The car roared alive and Logan drove us back to the HQ. I was so happy it had ended, now I would get paid and get back to my normal life. I saddened at this thought. Why was I so sad about it? Then my thoughts drifted to Derek Hamilton all the way back.

We now arrived and everyone got out of the car.

"Boss we're so happy to have you back!" said Logan with a huge grin that I found it kind of creepy.

Everyone nodded to underline what the man said.

"I'm glad to see you guys too. But back to business, did you find the guy that sold me out when I was in my undercover?" asked Derek full of authority.

"Yes, Boss. It was the FBI. They received some information/proof about you from someone. We're still searching for a who, but we destroyed all your records already."

"Good," said my master and started to walk toward the door with everyone following him. I was the last to enter the house. I was trying to be discreet cause didn't want my sexy master to catch me staring at him.

...

Did I really say that? What was I? A teenager in need? I shook my head and looked elsewhere, but in the end, I was looking at him... Again.

Why couldn't I stop staring at him? What was it that he attracted me so much and that the others didn't?

I was so lost in my thoughts. I didn't realize that I was alone in the dining room with my master. He was also looking at me, but I couldn't read his eyes and he had his face under control.

"I wanted to thank you first for helping me escape from prison," he said with a voice void of emotions.

"It was my job and about the payment, you know it'll be quite high since it wasn't in my field of expertise and very dangerous."

"Yes of course. Does 5 billion enough?"

What 5 billion?! Did I hear it right? I was thinking about 800K to one billion maximum. No, I can't accept that too much money equal too many troubles.

"I'm sorry, but it is too much. I won't accept more than one billion."

"So you're saying that my life is worth less than one billion?" he said with a brow raised.

I was taken aback by his words. I wasn't thinking like that! I bet he saw me confused and panicked cause he added:

"Let's make a deal. I won't pay you less than five billion, but you can work for me as long as you want. When you feel like you have gained all this money you can go."

I was thinking about it. I looked at his face, and he was dead serious. I sighted don't have a choice.

"Each task you'll give me will cost one billion, and I assure you my loyalty."

"I have no problem, and I forgot to mention that you'll have to take all the 5 billion now."

What? I sighed again, he was trying to tie me down. But why? Why would he want an assassin/mercenary in his group when he had all his men? I sighed again. It's not like I have a choice. I knew accepting this job would cause me a lot of trouble, but after four tasks, I was gone.

"We have a deal."
