Emergency Assassin

Chapter 2

Tony's POV

I still feel giving her a lift is a bad idea but I couldn't help myself.She seems so confused and disoriented but at the same time she looks determined and confident.I have watched her perform for months now but I never get tired of her beautiful smile although the smile wasn't there the first few weeks she started working her,I guess she's adjusting beautifully. I have also seen the guy I beat earlier harass her a number of times and stayed out of it  but tonight I finally had it with him.It appears he was always coming around for money, I mean how can a man with honor live that way.he must be full of shit and I'm sick of seeing him harass her.From the address she gave me its not far from the bar. When I pull into her driveway, I feel her tense beside me which makes me wonder what could be wrong.

so, is this it? I ask her but I notice she's looking down at her hand while fiddling with her fingers. She actually looks scared.

are you ok? I ask turning my body to face her.

Yeah, I uhm..,thanks, she stuttered opening the door to get down but I stop her.

hey, whats wrong? I ask her again and I can see her battling with herself whether to tell me or not.I won't ask again I tell her, more as a warning.

It's just, Ray is inside my house. The light in the living room is on, she says more like a whisper.

your boyfriend? 

yea, she responds with sadness all over her face.

Look, I really don't want to get in the middle of whatever is going on between you two,I...

I understand, she says cutting me off.I notice the curtain in one of the rooms move, like someone had been peeping through and just closed it.The room is bark, but I was able to catch that.

You know what, get back inside. I'll just drop you off at a motel.

no, I'll be fine she protests.

It's my Motel, you don't have to pay for it, I lie and her eyes go wild instantly and the sadness disappears.

Really? she asks and I just nod in response.She enters back into the car and I drive off to the nearest Motel.On our way to the motel, I can feel she feels uncomfortable being in my car.Do I creep her out? I think I may be attracted to her and I didn't even know until this night.I haven't had a girlfriend in ages and I've become used to one night stands every once in a while but I don't feel the need to have sex with her immediately,just having her around seems to be enough.Now that's odd.

Is he still important to you? I ask her breaking the silence.

I'm not sure any more. I've loved him for a long time and sometimes I feel like I don't know how to live without him but other times it feels like a lost battle.I'm constantly torn in between she responds but that's not what I want to hear.

I need  a yes or no, I state bluntly.from my side view I can feel her eyes suddenly turn on me at the statement.

no, I guess, she says uncomfortably.

you guess? I ask raising an eyebrow at her out of frustration.

I mean, he is no longer important to me she says after a little hesitation. he has actually been more of a night mare lately, she adds with a small fake laugh.

ok, good, I respond looking straight on the road but I can feel her gaze still on me while we continue the search for a motel.

When we got to the motel, I asked her to stay in the car while I get the keys to her room.Unknown to her, I actually went to make payment for the room.After I got her settled down I left and drove back to her house.

Getting there, I park two blocks away beside a fuel station,i pull out my emergency bag from under my sit and put on a jacket with a hood covering my entire head and face.I change my boots to one with big under cover to add to my height, i wear a pair of gloves and grab a rope but just in case he's arm I don't take off my gun then I get out of the car and walk down to her house.when I get there I notice the living room light is on so I sneak to the back door, picked the lock and got inside. Once inside, I pull out my rope and walk pass the kitchen and living room and head straight to the bed room.Even though every where is completely dark I could still locate the room easily  because its a one bedroom apartment.I open the door very slowly careful not to make a sound and once inside the room I walk straight to the bed with the help of the moonlight rays entering the room through the window.I didn't get a clean grab of his neck the first attempt making him jump up to struggle but he's clearly no match for me as I quickly drained the life out of him with the rope. One of the easiest kill ever.I use the rope to set up a suicide scene by hanging him from the cotton rod in the room since the building has a high ceiling before getting the hell out.

By the time I get home from Patricia's house my stomach had started to grumble but I try to focus on clean up first by burning the entire outfit I wore to kill Ray .I take a shower after that and settle down with a can soup and a bottle of beer but the entire time my mind keeps going back to Patricia.She is not the prettiest girl I've ever seen but there's just something about her that gets my attention.She's about 5"6,black hair,very light brown eyes that look golden when directly under the light,her skin isn't so fair and she has a beautiful smile that shows a lot being held back inside.Each time I listen to her sing it feels like taking a calm pill and like I'm being transported to another time or place.Her voice isn't the best I've heard but it is by far the most soothing. I don't think I've heard most of the songs from her shows before but they are definitely on point but I need to stay away from her.I hope she doesn't get the wrong message from me defending her in the fight with Ray and driving her home after her car won't start.right, her car.I set my alarm to wake up early so I can go put gas in  her car before she gets to the bar for work though I know it's not as if I will be getting any sleep anyway but just in case.
