Chapter Nine

(VENUS POV)

I woke up with weak eyes, it was 6am , I examine my room and just as I was going to get up , the pain hits me all of a sudden . I gathered all my force to stand up and tries to go to bed . I'm lucky enough the cut that I acquire , didn't hit my large artery because if it did, I could have died in massive blood loss. I looked up at my wall and thought for a moment .

“Am I her target or we are targeting the same man?.... ”

I pulled a file on her and I didn't find any connections between Jonathan and her .Her current assignment is not him too. So I'm sure her target was me, I sigh and looked back at Jonathans pic . I admire the simplicity he has showed me , although I know he is well known as ‘the butcher’ I really can’t pinned point his total darkness.

“What if I will saw it ? What shall I do ? He is totally unpredictable”

We texted for a week until my wounds are totally healed . And finally I received a phone call . My phone rang and I answered it .

Jonathan: hey , how are you its been a week .

Me :hey , I missed you yeah its been a week I’m ok ,and you ?

Jonathan: well, I’ve been working but I’m totally free tonight wanna grab some burgers again ? *chuckles*

Me      : oh that's a good idea later at 8pm?

Jonathan : sure sure . Ill pick you up at 8pm don't worry I have a surprise for you .

Me    : oh that's..... cant wait!

We hung up the phone , it was 4pm and I need to take a shower and dress up good . My emotions are mixed up, but I’m also going to pursue my own agenda and focus . And in some part of me I felt there is something wrong but I shrug it and went on preparing for my night with him. Finally, I’m ready , and I waited for him ,I was ahead of him for 15minutes and just as I expected he arrived exactly at 8 . My anticipation was done as he walked out wearing casually but cool textile. He gave me a smile as he slowly approach to me , his moves is as cool as a snow breeze, he can be quite intimidating but warm. He offered his hands for assistance while I was closing the door from my house . I took his hand as we walked towards his car . He opened the passenger seat for me and I sat calmly , while he closed it and walked around to open the drivers seat , he turn ON the engine and a classic song was automatically played at the background . He drove for 15 minutes , I notice we are heading for the beach and I was thinking he might be planning some romantic dinner he didn't say much and I was a bit excited . He was so quiet up to the point that maybe he was just nervous, finally he broke the silence .

“oh I forgot I have a surprise for you ..”

He smiled and reach something at the back seat while his left hand has taking the wheel , I alerted myself thinking maybe he was trying to grab a gun but I was hesitate to do a first move because I might blow my cover . His hands and arms are totally long ,well what can you expect of a 6’4 man . Done reaching , he smiled again and gave me a box of red roses. I secretly hide my hunting knife as I thought it was a false alarm. I can see it was a box of red roses because the upper cover is transparent . He softly said

“open it I hope you like it ...”

I cannot sense any odd from his movements so I trusted him and opened the box . I smelled it and it was so saccharine splendid . Then he looked back at me smiling .

“good girl”

I don't know what was it ,but it felt so cold that it sends chills from my spine. Then all of a sudden I felt like my body is heavy , my eyes are slowly closing . My heart beat so fast ,that in my mental state I know I’m in deep trouble .

“wha....what...what did you do”

He grinned and didn't looked back at me , he took a shot from an injection that he extracted from the glove compartment ,while I was helplessly cannot motion .

“this my dear is an antidote , I need this because the poison that you just inhale will make you paralyze for 5 hrs and will make you fall asleep any minute now... don't worry I’ll wake you up later”

my eyes are slowly closing although I was trying so hard to fight it . But after a few minutes I was totally shut down.
