Valentines

Dear Ethan,

I warned you what would happen were you to cross me again.

Unfortunately for you, you have done precisely that. Enjoy your last moments of freedom little man. After all an eye for an eye, so it's you for a loved one. Ciao for now, see you soon.

Sincerely,

Well you know who we are don't you ;)

Ethan stared in panic at the note as it sat upon the granite island in the kitchen it had been sealed with a kiss maroon lipstick staining the letters of the note but he got the message loud and clear, this was no love note and he needed to do something about it and fast. He quickly went to the windows of his tiny one story house and made sure they were sealed up tight and double bolted the doors he couldn't take any chances with them they would come at anytime and there wasn't a doubt in his mind that they weren't already approaching or even watching him at that very second. When he dumped that girl he had no idea the implications it would bring upon him and it seems he will be regretting it sooner than later. He pulled a couple chairs from his table and wedged them into place beneath the door handles.

Vicky watched Ethan scrambling about his house like a frightened street rat; a small amused smile made itself known upon her face, he had read the note and thus began his frantic pacing about the kitchen of his house shooting nervous looks to the doors and windows then back to the note on the counter. Darrin, the guy who delivered the note had done a good job setting up the microscopic cameras in the right positions so she could watch as her team moved in on the horrid man. He had abused and dumped a member of Vicky's team and that was unforgivable. Vicky involuntarily flinched as she pictured the bruises she had found on her dear friends wrists and legs; yes, Ethan is very much getting what he deserves. She kept her eyes trained on the monitor as she watched her girls close in on the house and storm it. Ethan had nowhere to run; honestly it was kind of stupid of him to lock himself in like that, Vicky shook her head at the man's stupidity and switched the monitor off walking out of her surveillance room as her team swooped in. She knew he would no longer be a problem.

Victoria Annette Valentine, is a wanted woman. She and her notorious group of hit woman that is; only known to the public as the Valentines. They specialize in getting rid of pretty much anyone who can get in their way her father had started the Valentines in his early thirties and since his passing Vicky has taken over the group and to the public eye she runs a successful dating and match company. Behind the scenes Vicky makes sure to get rid of any scum that arises within the city; there are many different reasons she has taken on hit jobs for people. However, one thing remains the same, a valentine gets hand delivered to their doors. But these are not the kind of Valentines you want to be receiving; for these valentines though sealed with a kiss, it is not a pleasurable thing these are the kisses of death.
