No Going Back

I slowly opened my eyes only to be blinded by a bright light in my face, I quickly closed my eyes before opening them allowing them to adjust to the light.

Looking around I noticed I was now in a ugly cement room, it reminded me of a jail cell.

Gross.

I tried to move only to realize that they had decided to tie me up this time. Oh just they wait until I get out of this.

I continued trying to move causing the chair to almost fall backwards but someone stopped the chair from doing so.

"Ah ah ah, I wouldn't do that if I were you." The person tsked at me while I glared at them. Entering my view, I saw it was Noemi.

"Great so it's the top bitch." I spat at her. Her face turned red in anger giving me a clue as to how short her temper was.

She slapped me which caused my head to turn to the side. I forced out a laugh as I looked back at her. "Really? A slap?"

She got even more angry and I knew that I was testing my limits but I could careless at the moment.

"Watch yourself." She threatened, "Now let's get to business." The door opened to reveal Dwayne and some other guy.

Dwayne came us, stopping next to Noemi. "Do what you need to do to get the information I need."

"What kind of information?" I asked slightly confused. Was this all to learn about her dads death?

"My father. Why was he killed? Was there others? Who hired the hit?" Oh so she didn't know?

"You don't even know? Wh- Ohh." It all started to make sense. I couldn't help but give her a sad smile, "What? Tell me!"

"Your mother." Noemi's eyes widened, "M-My m-mom?" I nodded and she stumbled back a bit.

"I really don't remember that night very well but I will tell you about what I do remember."

"God why couldn't she have met with us like every other clients?" Reina complained for possibly the millionth time.

One more time, just one more and I swear I'm going to snap. "Shush Reina. Someone's coming." She shut up as someone began approaching us.

Currently we were meeting up with the client while the guys set up base.

Whoever this person was wanted to meet in person and not make the deal by phone.

"Hitmen?" We nodded, sharing a look at the fact it was a woman. "Who are you?"

"Nobody important but the house maid." I could tell she was lying by the way she hesitated.

"Who are we supposed to take down? What's the reason?" She hesitated for a brief moment.

"Duncan Everluke. I've been in his service  for years, and I've seen how he acts and treats women. I've seen it all to many times, he sleeps with anyone and then after he kills them." I listened silently and nodded understandingly.

"Alright. This is how things will go." We explained the plan and she listened to every word as we told her, her role in the plan.

"Thank you oh and also he has a daughter." That was what shocked us the most. "What will happen to her?"

The lady smiled but as soon as it was there, it was gone. "Oh I'm sure I can contact her mother."

It was then I knew, she was the mother. "Well we'll be in contact Mrs. Everluke." She stopped froze, and slowly turned around to face me.

"H-How?" I smiled with a shrug. "The way you smiled before answering only made it obvious. Also that the fact you're not wearing a maids outfit and that outfit seems like something not a maid would wear. Does she know?"

She shook her head, looking down sadly. "I don't want her to know she was a child of rape." The wind was knocked out of me as I heard this.

"Rape?" Reina asked, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'd rather not discuss it and leave it as I died giving birth."

Collecting myself, I nodded understandingly. "We'll be in touch. Ms.." I waited for her to continue, she smiled warmly at me.

"Hailey. Call me Hailey." I shook her hand, as well as Reina before smiling at her.

"We'll call after things are done."

And with that we went our separate ways.

Noemi was in tears, and I couldn't help but only feel sorry for her. "Noemi, do you want to see your mother?"

Noemi looked up, shocked. "You'd help me see her?" I nodded giving her a small smile. "Why? After everything I've done."

I gave her a sad smile, willing myself not to completely let my guard down for Dwayne was someone I couldn't trust. "Because there was a time that I didn't know my mother."

Not long after, she untied the ropes that bound me to the chair I was currently on. Dwayne and the guy he was with had left without a word and I knew they were planning something.

Hastily, I stood from the chair and pulled out my phone scrolling through my contacts looking for Hailey's name.

Finding it, I handed Noemi my phone and she took it. She look as if she was about to press the call button but I quickly pulled her behind me when I noticed Dwayne was about to hit her from behind.

Noemi hid behind me as I glared at Dwayne, challenging him.

"Now what are we going to do with you?" As he took a step forward, we took one back.

"Oh I know," He smirked evilly making me shiver in disgust. "Let's have some fun."

What? Was he going to try and rape me? Noemi?

No. There was no way in hell I was about to let that happen.

"Get. Away. From. Me." I spat at him warning him as he walked forward. "And what are you going to do?"

I made sure that Noemi was safe before going at Dwayne, he tried to punch me but I was quick to sent a kick to his stomach.

As he was groaning I threw my leg over his shoulder and flipped him, causing him to land onto his back painfully.

As I landed, I looked up to see that the door was open and standing in the doorway was Elijah with a worried face.

I was going to say something but suddenly there was a sharp pain in the side of my head.

I landed with a thud on my side as I tried to stay away. I heard yelling as black dots clouded my thoughts.

Elijah's face coming into view was the last thing I saw before allowing the darkness to consume me.
