Tainted ~Mitch Rapp

    "Daddy." I cried as I watched him on his death bed. He gave me a sweet smile and gripped my hands. "My beautiful little girl. You've grown to be so beautiful and smart. Remember that I love you and I will always be with you." He said. I nodded. "I love you too." I cried as his eyes started closing. "Daddy!"

    My eyes snapped open. My heart sagged as the memory of my dad's death lingered in my head. He had stage four leukemia and died when I was 17. It's been six years and I still dream about that day in the hospital. The day he left me.

    I sighed and got up from my bed. I tugged on my sleep shirt and walked to my bathroom. I splashed water on my face and brushed my teeth before hoping into the shower. When I finished showering I changed into a bra and put on another big shirt. I walked to the kitchen and quickly put on the coffee maker.

    I went to my room and started to get dress. I took off my shirt and pulled on a white bra. I grabbed a peachish colored dress and set it on the iron board. I quickly ironed the dress and put it on. The dress was fitted and showed off my body nicely. It was a classy work dress that I could wear to the shop. I was a small wedding dress designer that owned a small shop in the city of New York, but on the side I helped the CIA hack into software to get Intel.

    I quickly did my hair and makeup before grabbed my bag and putting it on my bed.

    I went back into the kitchen and grabbed the mug of coffee. I poured some milk in it and sipped it carefully.  I went back to my room and turned on the t.v. I sipped my coffee some more as I watched the t.v. My cellphone began to ring and I quickly answered it.

    "Hello." I said while sipping my coffee. "I expect you to be more excited when I call." I heard my aunt say into the phone. I giggled. "Hey aunt Irene." I said. "How are you doing?" She asked. "I've been good. The shop's been good. When am I going to make a dress for you?" I asked. She laughed. "Kid I'm not marrying anyone any time soon." She said. "How's old man Stan doing?" I asked. "If hears you say that he'll cut your throat." She joked. I giggled. "Yeah I doubt that. He loves me too much." I said.

    My eyes glanced at the clock and I saw that I had 15 mintues to get the shop.

    "You have to get to the shop right?" My aunt asked. "Yeah. I'll talk to you later. I love you." I said. "I love you too." I said before hanging the phone up.

    I drank the rest of my coffee out and quickly went to the put the cup in the sink. I rushed back to my room and grabbed some white heels. I slipped them on and grabbed my bag. I walked out of the apartment and walked into the elevator.

    I checked my phone and smiled. Time for another day of making women happy.

    I smiled as the girl walked out with a big smile on her face.

    "Oh my god. This is perfect." She squealed. I smiled. "It does look beautiful on you. Is this the one?" I asked her. She smiled and nodded. "Okay Charlie is going to take your measurements and we'll call you when you have to pick it up." I said to her.

    She nodded and rushed back to the dressing room. Another happy customer.

    I smiled and walked into my office. I closed the door and went to my desk. I sat down and opened my computer. My phone vibrated and I picked it up seeing a text from my best friend.

Caitlin❤-"Hey babes. Lunch at 2?"
Me-"Yeah definitely. Andi's?"
Caitlin❤-"Yup. See you soon love."

    I smiled at my phone and put it down. I looked over my desk and saw the picture frames. Some held photos of my family and I. I saw pictures of my mom, brother, step dad and I. Some of my dad and I. Then one with my aunt and I.

    I loved my family with a passion. I would do anything for them. I went back onto my laptop and continued handling whatever business I needed to do for the shop.

    When 2 o'clock came around I quickly went to Andi's and met up with Caitlin.

    "Hey babes." She said hugging me. I smiled and kissed her cheek. "Hey how's everything?" I asked once we sat down. "It's pretty good. This baby is getting bigger." She said rubbing her belly.

    I smiled and stared at her growing bundle of joy.

    "How's the shop?" She asked. "Pretty good." I said. "That's good. You get a boyfriend yet?" She asked. I scoffed. "Nope. I'm only 23. I have time." I said. "I'm 23, married and pregnant." She said. "Well we're two different people alright." I said. She laughed. "You need a man. You look dick deprived." She said. I scoffed. "Listen you pregnant hoe. I'm perfectly fine running my shop. I don't need a man. Okay. A man needs me. He just hasn't found me yet." I stated.

    She laughed.

    "Whatever you say." She said causing me to laugh.

    After Caitlin and I's lunch I had went back to the shop to finish the day's work. After that I went home and now I was currently sitting in the living room eating Chinese food. Not healthy but oh well. Chinese food was good.

    My phone beeped and I looked at it. I unlocked it and my eyes widened as I saw someone walking around my shop.

    "What the fuck?" I mumbled while getting up.

    I quickly put the food in the kitchen and ran to my room. I slipped on some sweats and grabbed my leather jacket pulling it on. I grabbed the gun that was in my draw and took it out. For protection. Yes it was extreme but this was New York, people were crazy these days.

    I left my apartment and quickly jogged to the shop. I slipped around the corner and decided to go in from the back. I opened the door silently and slipped in.

    I heard the footsteps of the man and my heart raced. I quickly snuck into the office. I grabbed the key from my neck and unlocked the little door. I then opened the safe and saw that my other laptop and flash drive was still in there. I sighed in relief. Thank god, Irene would kill me if this thing was stolen.

    I took the gun out from my waist band and took the safety off. I tip toed to the front of the shop and didn't see the man. I heard footsteps behind me and I turned around with the gun pointed at the man, who had a gun pointed at me.

    "Who the hell are you?"
