Emergency Assassin

Chapter 7

Tony's POV

I've been waiting here for almost 2hours to see Mark.He must be very upset and I don't blame him.I broke a very important rule which could expose us all, that's if she doesn't end up dead but I can't stand seeing that happen again.There's just something about her I can't really explain.I feel like the person I want to be whenever I'm around her.Every time I see her face it's like my heart smiles and swells at the same time and oh my, her voice is so soothing. I can listen to her sing for the rest of my life.I don't regret opening up to Patricia because this is this first time in so many years that I feel like my life is real and I love the feeling.even if staying with her lasts for a day or a week, i still wouldn't trade it for anything.I'm tired of this miserable life anyway.Just as I was about getting up to leave I hear someone call my name from down the hall.

Mark will see you now, a man tells me and quickly walks away in the opposite direction.When I enter Mark's office, he looks high and I can see some cocaine littered on the table, he has a gun on the table, some money on the floor and a passport on the table.

Hey,I..uhm, wanted to know if you found something.I say standing opposite his table.

tu m'as decu, pourquoi?

Patricia is not a threat and even if she did try something, I'd kill her myself. You have my word. I tell him hoping he can put this Pat's thing aside and focus on the attack.

No, I'll kill you both, Mark says sternly .i did find something,he continues opening a laptop in front of him.It's Xavier, you killed someone for him about two years ago.His cousin  who is like a brother to him was killed last week and for some reason he's convinced you did it.

Why would he think that? I ask surprised. I've seen the guy around since then and I know Rob used to do drugs for him but why is he so convinced I did it.

I don't know Mark says shrugging but we have to take him out obviously, he adds.

Take him out? you're kidding right? 

Sure. That's the only way to end this Mark says plainly. 

You do realize even in your high state that taking him out could lead to a mafia war right?

Look, all we need is to plan it right.we take out the entire line that matters.and...

I'm obviously wasting my time talking to you right now that you're high.call me when you sober up so we can discuss this.we're running out of time , I say and start walking towards the door but Mark rushes to his feet.

Wait, mark shouts and I turn around.

I don't like you having that girl at the base.That has never happened before and there's a reason for that. It's our fucking sanctuary for goodness sake, Mark yells.

I know, but we didn't have any other choice, I fire back.

We? Mark asks and I can see he's disgusted so I just shut up.

Wake up Tony. When she finds out who you really are and that you killed her boyfriend, she'll run for her life.

I'm certain this is not the time to tell him I already told her I'm an assassin so I remain silent.

Damn it Tony, why can't you see this is a lose, lose situation.If you keep having her closely around soon she may find out.Even if you date, what happens when you all break up? or get into a fight or something.She'll just run to the cops coz she'll be scared you may try to kill her besides you know she'll most likely end up dead like the others so why bother.

I know Mark is right but something deep down inside me is not giving in.For the first time I feel alive so why would I want to change that.I don't have the energy to argue with mark now considering I I'm not sure how things are between Patricia and I and she seemed to have been in shock when I left.
