Murder in Progress

Off-Limits

¿Kathrine Wallace?

Pinkerton Agent, V.P.

'Mathias' reeked of alcohol and as soon as he saw me, his eyes had that good for nothing glint as he looked me up and down.

I put my little black book of secrets into the inside of my leather jacket. It was probably my most valuable possession and my dad had gotten it from a garage sale. I filled in the names I overhead during that case in '08 and even discovered some more while running, hiding, and chasing.

I smiled and asked, "Can I sit here? I'm Darcy." I said in a smooth voice matching Darcy's look and backstory I made up for her to become 'Darcy'.

He nodded and introduced himself. "Mathias, did you come here with that loser?" He asked pointing to Alex and my jaw clenched, about ready to spit out insults and defend my partner. Instead I laughed and shook my head no. Soon I had him wrapped around my pinkie. He leaned in and kissed me roughly, and he had to fight for dominance which I laughed at inside. But he was still reeking of beer and was a terrible man. I smiled and started laughing. He started laughing to, obviously confused and I pulled my gun out at him.

He raised an eyebrow and I could hear Alex cry out, "No!" The dancer that had been flirting with him scoffed at his 'rejection' as he ran towards us and without flinching I shoved the gun under the man's ear and pulled the trigger. He cried out as Alex grabbed me and pulled me away after taking the gun from me and stared at the man now fast asleep.

"You killed him!" Alex exclaimed and I raised an eyebrow at him. "No, I put him into a deep sleep for at least another hour. A little chip causing the brain muscles to relax and allows me to track him at all times." I smiled and he studied the man and then me.

"Do me a favor and call Benny while I search 'Mathias'." I practically ordered and as Alex walked out I searched the man's pockets and found a picture of Grace and Lily. Out of all the people, it was two little girls? That's not right! They should be off-limits! They're just kids!! Heck, the only one that should've been dead is me! I thought as I crumpled up the picture. Anger welling up inside I punched the man until he had two nasty black eyes, a busted nose, a split lip, and one cut cheek.

Alex came back and sighed muttering, "Darcy, Darcy, Darcy..." He then raised his voice as he told me, "Benny said he would send two people to check out where Mathias was staying. He said good job and wanted to meet Katie's friend, Darcy." I nodded my head and without another word packed the gun away into its silver suitcase and left the club, Alex following behind as we drove back to Benny's house.

Little did he know we would be leaving tonight.
