Raven: Homme Fatale

Blood Oath

We arrived at our private jet, and we both were really tired, especially Serena that had to go through a whole story and seduce her target before killing him, luckily for me, I had to execute him and I did from the minute I stepped a foot at Mexico.

We got in the private jet and a few minutes later we were in the air, I heard my phone buzzing on the table that was right underneath the window, as i reached to get it I saw how beautiful Mexico looked from up above, I stared at it for a minute and then answered my phone,

"Raven, I need to see you right away."

Leo said with a serious voice, more serious than usual,

"What's wrong?"

I asked curiously

"I want to talk to you about a new mission but I wanna see you in person, because I also want to inform you about the thing you asked me to search."

I took a step back and my eyes opened wide, if Leo found something, even the tiniest bit of help to find my father's killers would be helpful at this point, I was thinking of all the possibilities that this could bring: I was a step closer to finding them, and when I did, I would kill them slowly and see them suffer, I wouldn't do them the favor to plant a bullet in their foreheads, that would be a quick and easy death, I would make them bleed, cry and suffer until they died, just like my father did, in front of my eyes.

"So we're coming to New York?" I asked

"Yes, you're on your way to Manhattan right now. I'll see you in the morning, Raven. Get some sleep."

Leo said and hung up, he sounded pretty serious, Leo and Serena were the only people who knew about my father's murder, and they both were willing to help me, Leo would be more helpful than Serena at this point, because he was the only person capable of tracking these people down, finding information and whatsoever, Serena would be helpful to kill them, but I would do that myself.

I got some sleep and a few hours later we landed at Manhattan, Leo and Kelly walked up to us smiling, Serena went to Kelly's office and I started walking shoulder to shoulder with Leo,

"Have you found information about my father?" I asked nervously cutting to the chase,

"I have."

As Leo said those words I stopped walking and before I knew it some tears escaped my eyes,

"Raven, are you crying?"

Leo asked shocked,

"I am not."

I said as I wiped them, truth is, I didn't feel emotional, I just felt the intensity of the thought of finding those people and killing them to get revenge for my father,

"I won't ask further questions because you might put a bullet to my forehead, so I'll tell you straight up what I have found so far, these people aren't easy to track."

Leo said as we sat at a booth at a dark and small pub, he put his elbow on the table and with his right hand he took out a few pages with what seemed to be printed out but also connected somehow with his pen, it looked decently good and it made me feel that he did a badass research on it and studied it well,

"Your father hasn't been killed by one person, he has been executed by one person but the people who really killed him were more than 10."

He took a deep breath and looked at me as my expression turned cold and if I had them right in front of me right now I would have killed them with my bare hands, I would have strangled them,

"Go on.."

I said as I tried to understand everything Leo was telling me,

"What I am really trying to say, is that, Raven, your father has been murdered by the mafia. I'm not sure which yet, but I know the reason."

Leo said as I stood up when I heard the word 'mafia', what did my father had to do with this?

Leo looked at me hesitating to continue,

"I don't know if you can handle what I am going to tell you."

Leo added,

"Tell me, Leonardo."

I said as I started getting angrier,

"Your father has been given 10,000 dollars by a loan shark from their Mafia, unfortunately due to your father's job he never managed to get the money in time to pay them back, and they killed him, this is how this business works"

Leo replied as I smacked my fist on the table causing the drinks to fly in the air as the beer spilled on the floor, I ran out of the bar and took out a knife,

I never committed to anything, but when I did it was always a blood oath, I pressed the dagger on my palm as I cut it and blood started dripping from my hand,

"I swear, right here right now, to find and kill the people who murdered my father."
