The Deal

Amy's pov

When I woke up I was snuggled into Mark's arms, I looked up to see him still asleep. I don't want to get up, I am so relaxed and I feel like I have someone on my side for the first time in a long time. This lifestyle is always a guessing game when it comes to who you can trust. But I don't have to guess when it comes to Mark. I know in my heart that he is 100% on my side.

"I can tell that you're awake." Mark said, keeping his eyes closed.

"Good morning to you too." I laughed.

He pulled me into him even more kissing the top of my head.

"What do we have planned for today?" I asked looking up at him.

"I have a few meetings but I need you to pull back a little. You are so good at what you are doing that people are installing better firewalls and more protection around their land."

"Of course, after a few months their guards will be back down and I can strike again." I smiled up at him.

"And we can sell what you steal and keep on going and make more money.."

"I love it! I can't wait to steal again!"

"I know that you can't but I do need you to hide for these meetings, they will be held here."

"Can I sneak around seeing what I can find out from them?"

"Only if you do it inside the walls."

"Yay!"

He pulled me in for a heated kiss then slowly got out of the bed.

"I need to get ready for these meetings." He said as I sat up.

"I guess I will go get changed and hide in the walls."

The walls here are just like the ones back at my old place, the one that is now burned to the ground. There are hollow walls inside the walls that you can sneak around and spy on people. I did it all the time. It was so much fun.

"My sweet devilish angel." Mark said as I opened up the hidden door getting ready to go in..

"Yes my lucifer?" I giggled.

"Stay hidden until I tell you that it is okay to come out. There are a lot of people who will be here today and if they find out that you are alive. They will try to kill you for real." His eyes looked so sad, like he was hoping that I would just lock myself in a room but he knows that I will never do that.

"I will stay hidden and get some dirt on these people. They are always talking shit on everyone when they are alone. More information for us will be a good thing." I smiled.

"I know." He pulled me in for another kiss then I slipped into the wall making sure that the door was closed and locked from the inside.

The hallways are dark and narrow, the only light sources are from the vent a few feet from my head.  I was able to hear Mark walking down the steps just in time for the first guest to arrive as I walked down the steps on my side.

"Mr. Ranio, how are you?" Mark asked, I wasn't able to see anyone. The vent that would allow me to has been closed off.

"Very well, I am ready to talk about money." His thick english accent made it hard to understand him, but everyone feared him. If he wanted to make you disappear he would in a snap of his fingers. Which made working with him that much more funnier.

"Yes, let's head into my office down here and we will start this wonderful deal."

I followed them to Mark's office and watched them through an open vent.
