Chapter 19

Sasha's pov

The big day is finally here. After waking up eating and reaching the club, all hell broke loose.

Some of the waiters called in sick, so we had to hire some other people in a couple of hours, that was a problem for me because I didn't have time to do a background check on them. The club had a leak, and it destroyed the floor, so we had to close all the water installations and redo the floor. I was currently hate typing on my Mac when my door opened.

"Hey cherry pie!" Sun...he finally showed himself. He disappeared for a couple of days without saying anything after our "fight".

"Where have you been?" I thought he would never come back.

"Honey? You missed me? Awww!"

His yes sparkled with amusement but I didn't have time for bullshit "You know what Sun, here is the thing. You stay, or you leave. You are part of my neighborhood or not! There are no half parts. Got it?"

I don't like games, he always was unpredictable, he was the one that killed another assassin from the academy. He got the job and did it. I could kill him easily right now, a bullet and he's down.

"Uaaa, kitten. Chill out. I'm part of the gang. I went to search for some information regarding your bounty. They currently have employed 23 people." He looked a bit edgy.

"Hmp, ok. After the party I'll create my own team. It's time to silence this asshole." It got on my nerves.

"What party? I am so in!" He got up from his chair and crossed his hands.

"Get a tuxedo, River Avenue 16. I want you with Marius at all times. Hawk will be there too. Did you guys see each other?" Sun and Hawk were always close.

"We did, his brother is a wild card tho' the kid will probably get killed." He shrugged.

"The kid is under my protection, no one will kill him." I wrote an email to Marius about Sun and waited for his reply.

"I understand. So beautiful, I was wondering if you have an apartment for me and North."

"North...where is he?" My eyes got sad. He was the gentle guy from the group. His family died before his eyes, killed by a Russian assassin. He got away by running through the sewers of his town. Sensei found him on a street almost dead, his clothes full of blood and facies.

"He will be arriving today, can he come to the party?" Sun looked excited.

"Sure, just understand that this party is not for fun. It's business. I have a mission for the 3 of you. Infiltrate in any big companies, legally Sun. No killing. I will give you all the money you need. I need to get my hands on this city. We will build an empire." I smiled, Sensei told me to run the town. What better way than this?

"On it, pumpkin." He laughed while I threw a pen at him.

"Cage will help you with the apartment it will have two floors connected only by a lather. North will have his half, I know how you guys are, I don't want you two killing yourselves, but still be together. Hawk is staying in the block opposite you, in case you need him."

He nodded and walked to the door. "It's nice to be back Sasha." He blew me a kiss and left.

I was left there, staring at the door. He was never the kind of person who says something like this.

My mail highlighted and got Marius's response. I stretched my feet on the desk, maybe we all needed a family and we can only understand each other. We are so different, most of the times we see monsters in the mirror and not ourselves, none of us is scared by the other.

Time to eat. I went again to the diner, it helped my think things out. I ordered a stake with mashed potatoes.

"Here you go miss, the best in town." The young guy smiled and left. Indeed it was.

I kept thinking how to resolve all of this. We were 4, depending on how good the others are we could take out all of them. But what if they have an ace in their sleeve. 23 is not that much, but there are also a few good assassins on the globe.

There are only 4 academies in the world, Tokyo, Moscow, Rome and Detroit our "home". There is not much information regarding the others but what we do know is that they were as deadly as us.

There is a meeting each year, all academy leaders gather in a secret location to discuss "future", that is how our missions are managed later.

When an assassin gets his life mission he will never return to the academy except the moment when he starts to lose control of his "act". Just as I said to Hawk a time ago, if we see that our feelings surface and start to cloud our judgment we have to abandon and return to the academy for being re instructed.

Yes I know, it sounds like a company that creates robots, we weren't that far from that.

I looked at my phone, Samantha will be at the club at 5. My stake was good I payed the bill and returned to the Red Velvet.

The workers already left, I had two hours to chill. So I sat myself on the sofa that was brought in yesterday, so cosy, and without even noticing I fell asleep.
Silence, there was nothing around me that made noise. It felt really good.

I dreamt about my mother and our house. We were so happy...
