Katie Romano isn't what you expect your average, nineteen year old New Yorker to be like.
After all, she ran away from the mean streets of London on her sixteen birthday, her main goal to escape the man who abused her and killed her mother right in front of her eyes: her Father, the leader of the London gang called The Association. She boarded that plane and never looked back, making a not so legal life for herself in New York as the best hit-man in the business.
But, just when she thought her life was secure and she knew what her future entailed, a mysterious man named Axel walked into it, asking her to join a team. But, this wasn't your average team. This team was made up of the best young criminals from around the world, brought together to follow three simple rules:
1. Always do your job right, quick, and simple.
2. Never ask questions.
3. Never get caught.
Will she do it? Who knows? She wouldn't be Katie Romano if you did.

You V.S. Mafia
[COMPLETED] "Shoot," Joey mumbles, letting out a string of profanities under his breath. We turn around to find a group of men, all with guns, standing where we just came from, and they look pissed... probably because they were forced to run through this tunnel after us. "Thought you could get away, didn't you?" The man who I saw before asks. His husky voice booms in the hollow tunnel, reverberating off of the dirt walls. His voice sounds familiar, and a realization strikes me. It sounds like the man from my dream. I remember him holding a gun and wearing a blue suit, smiling evilly at me. "Leave us alone," Joey says, sounding dangerous and snapping me out of my thoughts. The levity of the situation hits-we need to get out of here. I look around for a route of escape and thankfully I see a light, literally, at the end of the second tunnel. I let out a small, almost inaudible, gasp and nudge Joey. He looks at me and I subtly gesture with my head to the second tunnel. He glances at it and immediately we are on the same page. His jaw sets and he looks at the group. The man speaks up again, chuckling darkly-a sound I will never forget and will be permanently etched into my brain, "You can thank your father for starting this mess." -------------------------- Liza was a normal teenaged girl, living the average life that an eighteen year old girl should be living.
