His Assassin

Chapter 3: AssassinCon

Vixen

I pulled up to Veronica's apartment complex in my black Jeep Wrangler, unlocking the doors to let her in.

She put her shit in the back and sat next to me, "HEY, BITCH."

"HEY, HOE," I locked the doors and started driving, "so which hotel are we staying at?"

"Hilton Miami Downtown."

"Alriiight, this is gonna be fun! Oh, and I got your Cheetos, both kinds." I grabbed her snacks from behind my seat.

"Ah, I love you!"

"I love you too! Now, put the hotel address in the GPS."

After she entered our location, the GPS spoke, "you will arrive at your destination in 14 hours."

"Bet, I'll make it in 10." I laughed.

"8, you're underestimating yourself."

I smiled as my best friend encouraged me, stepping harder on the gas pedal, "get ready, we're about to shift into light speed like in Star Wars."

"Ok, but we're listening to Post Malone too." She hooked her phone up to the AUX.

"Ok, but play Better Now first." I requested, still accelerating in speed.

We'll be in Florida in no time at all.

While Veronica checked into our fancy ass hotel, I went up to our room. The only thing I noticed was the bed and laid down. My bags can wait, pajamas can wait, looking out the balcony can wait, I just need to rest.

Yea, Veronica wasn't letting that happen.

"Get up, we're clubbing." She came in, putting her bag on her bed.

"What do you mean we're clubbing? We just got here!" I whined.

"Yes! Let's go explore or something, we're in Miami." She jumped on my bed next to me, almost making me fall.

"Fine, fine, but no clubbing. I want a spa night. I want to sit in a sauna and let the blood, sweat, and tears seep out of my skin. I need my skin to be replenished."

"Aw yea, that sounds nice. We'll do that instead. Wanna go now?"

"Yea, but we gotta have our tasers just in case." I reminded her. We're far from home, we don't know people here, we have to be careful.

"Right," she went to her bag and got her taser, "and we need to taser test each other."

Veronica and I like to tase each other now and then to make sure we're still immune to it from taser training.

I got my taser, "you first."

Veronica held her arm out to me, "ok."

I set the taser on her arm, powered it on, and counted to 15 seconds. She stood there like nothing happened, which was very good. She's clear.

"Your turn." She pressed her taser on my arm and turned it on. I felt the electricity go through my body, but I could still move. I don't feel pain, it just feels like I'm vibrating.

Nothing compared to the first time I was ever tased...that shit hurt.

FLASHBACK

"Wait! I-I'm scared!" I backed away from my trainer with the taser in his hand.

"It's only for a second. With enough training, you'll be able to withstand 15 seconds. Maybe even more." He tried to make it sound better.

"I'll try it." Veronica stepped up.
