The Cleaner's Daughter and The Assassin's Son

Three dead in the back alley

Song: Wicked by NYXX

Mekhi POV:

"Hey you ready to go," I talk as I open the door. However when I look around she is gone yet again. Damn that woman.

I look at the surveillance screen and happened to see her out back in the alley. Shit you got to be kidding me. I don't waste my time to get down the steps and out the door. She really doesn't need my help. I watch as she knocks the last guy out on his ass. I have to raise my voice to get her attention.

"What the fuck?"

She stops momentary to look at me and in those eyes I see madness.

"Scarlett you just can't beat up people for the hell of it."

She glares at me, madness still inside her veins. She ignores me and goes over to the girl that is leaning against the building on the ground.

"Are you ok?" she asks her as she reaches down to help her get back up.

"Yes thank you for saving me." She is crying and hugging Scarlett.

"Go home, clean yourself up you are going to be alright."

"Yes thank you, thank you so much." The girl runs off to her car still crying.

I walk over to Scarlett to see about the three guys. The one guy is dead. Looks like she shoved her hand into his nose and killing him on impact. I walk over to the second guy and he is coughing up a lung and spitting out blood. I take out my gun with a silencer and shoot him in the head. The third guy sees me and is trying to get up to get away but she messed him up pretty good. I shoot him as well.

I look over at her and she is watching me. I pull out my phone and call Zane.

"Need a cleanup. Back Alley of 'The Master's Den'. ASAP." Then hang up.

"What the hell happened? You were to stay in the office; can't you just follow one simple order?"

She glares at me. "Seriously. I told you I don't do orders well. I told you that you would have a hard time trying to control me. And I would have stayed in there if I had not seen these assholes trying to rape that girl."

"It's not your business what happens to her. She shouldn't have been out there to begin with."

"She was trying to get away from them and I'm not going to just sit back and watch a girl get raped for the hell of it."

I walk over to her and put my arms around her. "I don't care about any of them I care about you don't you get it I can't lose you again."

"But nothing happened to me so stop worrying."

"Really, what's this?" I touch the side of her face a small bruise is appearing.

"It's nothing," she pushes my hand out of the way.

A car pulls up and Zane and Atticus get out. Zane doesn't look happy when he sees Scarlett standing there beside me. "What happened here?"

"Scarlett took out the guy there." I point to the one guy. "The other two were also hurt pretty badly but I can't let the others see that there friend was killed so I finished them off. Can we get them out of here before someone sees this shit?" I ask him.

Atticus opens up the trunk and carries the bodies one at a time and tosses them in the back.

Zane walks over to Scarlett. "What the hell did they hurt you?"

"No they were going to hurt this girl and..."

"You saved her putting your nose where it doesn't belong."

I smirk at that, damn he knows her well.

It pisses her off. "You know you men think that it's nothing wrong with taking advantage of a girl that pisses me off. Yes I helped the damn girl they would have killed her."

"And you can't go around saving everyone."

"I didn't say I wanted to save everyone." She storms off.

I look at Zane and he just shakes his head.

"Thanks for coming out." I shake his hand.

"No problem, I'll see you two later."

"Yeah we should be home later; let me go get her."

Zane and Atticus leave and I go after Scarlett. I get in the car and drive down the road and when I get to her I roll the window down. "Get in."

She keeps walking so I speed up and stop the car. I jump out and get in her way. "Get in the car."

"Is that an order?" she snaps back.

"Scarlett just get in the car." I try not to sound demanding but it still comes out that way.

She glares at me and walks over and gets in. I take her home and we don't say a word all the way there.
