the chosen spy

Revealation

I gaped at the big mansion where Lucas had brought me. It must be his home, constructed with minimalistic interior and modern architecture.  But I had little chance to drool over the house as my thoughts were somewhere else. Yes I had still not forgotten that the bastard who had hired me to do his dirty work had previously lied to me. Let me tell you one thing:

I HATE LIES.

Our drive had been quiet as I was trying to calm myself and not burst out on him.

But the time had come to confront him. Lucas brought me to a room which was almost empty save for a  few table chairs and wall paintings. There was a vase on another table situated at the corner . He gestured me to sit while he himslef took the seat opposite mine.  I turned towards him.
"Why did you lied to me?", I asked with deathly calm.
"Because you wouldn't have listened to me otherwise. ".

" So you blackmailed me, huh ?"

At this he smirked, " Ah, that was fake. Just as you figured out later".
"If I had threatened to kill you, you would have said that you'd rather die than work for me. So I threatened to kill your mother instead", he sat on the chair opposite mine.

"You're a b–", I was saying that but he cut me off, " A bastard? Yeah that's what I am. It's a common compliment. Get something ne-".
I didn't give him the time to go ahead as I hurled the vase right at his goddamn perfect face. Not that I cared. You can't blame me! I was not angry at him. But I was FURIOUS.

So here goes the consequences. There was a SMASH and the antique vase was shattered to pieces. But the funny sight was lucas's shocked face which was glaring at me in disbelief. There was a shallow gash above his jaw where the glass vase had cut and another beside his eye. Thank god his eyes were fine.
Wait! why was I thanking god?

The menacing look in his eyes sent shivers down my spine. They spoke of an obvious death threat. That moment I knew he would kill me for sure. I felt scared.
No!! I won't be scared of a man.  I had taught myself this lesson my whole life.
I did not even gave him the time to register what had happend.
Yes, I took out my hidden knife (The ones I kept at home) and threw it at him. This time he was prepared and he ducked as the knife missed him. Unfortunately!
"What the hell...", he didn't even finish his sentence when out of his pocket there was a blur of black and something shot out of it. I had barely enough time to register what is was ..... a rope? Well whatever the thing was, it bounded around my hands clasping them tightly. From his side, Lucas pulled the thing-like-rope towards him with such a force that I went staggering to his side. He wrapped his hand around my waist tightly and with his other hand drew out a knife. My knife!
The cold metal dug deeper into my neck until I felt something wet and hot. Blood!
" You made an agreement with me. Now don't make it hard for me. I am going to explain you the work for which I'll pay you,  if only you stay calm and act rational. Understand?", Lucas's voice was deathly calm.

When I didn't replied, he pushed the knife deeper into my neck.
"Understand?", he repeated. I nodded.
"Good. Now take this and sit", he gave me a tissue to clean my neck.
"My hands", I pointed to my still bound hands.
" No. You are going to do something else to kill me otherwise. Sit".

I made a point not to do anything. After all I was already on Lucas's bad side and he didn't trusted me. And he was a really dangerous person with whom you wouldn't want to cross paths with.

"Lets go with the introduction first. I'm Lucas Smith..."
"Wait, What? Lucas Smith? As in The hacker Lucas Smith?", I couldn't believe it.
"Yes that's the one", he said, " And, it was me who hacked your accounts, for information you know".
My eyes widened.
"You're a–", before I could complete my statement he cut me off:
" Yeah Yeah I know a bastard".
So the great hacker Lucas Smith started with explaining the work which I was forced to do for him.
