Chapter 1.10 Kenneth
"Nice." Damon flattered, fixing the position of the black tactical suit that I was wearing.
The whole outfit felt new to me, but this was how I always wear to do my mission anyways.
"Tell me about the woman again, Damon."
Mother walked into the room, "She is a bitch. That's all you really need to know."
"How's your hip, mother?" I chuckled at the thought of our chicken fight.
"Never been better." She glared at me.
"Her name is Hailey Renee Forbes. Been a slut since 18. When mother personally invited one of our members to Hell, Forbes, being his girlfriend found out," Damon informed me.
"She escaped before I could send her to chase after her boyfriend," mother continued, "I want her in a million pieces, Timothy. She is planning to escape already, so if you fail to eliminate her..."
"I'll be sacrificed instead of her, I know," I cut mother off.
"Good! You're still as good as before, darling." She patted my shoulder and left the room.
Damon and I watched as she trotted away. We stared at each other and then burst out in laughter. I looked at myself again in the full-body mirror. I liked my look. Black boots, tight black and gray cargo leggings, a black tactical vest over a dry-fit t-shirt of the same color. And my gloves, my fingerless gloves that fitted me so well.
"I look so thin, so ill," I commented.
"I like it," Damon's words slipped. My gentle eyes lifted to meet his. He looked right back at me, but I broke the eye contact.
"So, where's my guns? You don't expect me to kill her with my knife right?"
"Actually...," Damon paused, "You're going to kill her by stabbing her 4 times in the chest, and 8 times in the stomach. No more, no less."
My eyes widened, "You guys..." I don't know why I was surprised.
"You guys killed the other victims."
"Yes," he replied cooly.
"What did they do?! What did the mother of two do that she deserves to be stuffed in a septic tank?!" I was practically yelling at Damon by now.
"She witnessed her husband being killed. Her husband was a traitor to our family."
"So what happened to the kids, huh?! Did mother generously adopted them to our family too?"
"Uncle Damon."
I quickly turned around.
"Hey little Kenneth!" Damon crouched and opened his arms for a hug.
The little boy walked slowly and dropped himself into Damon.
"Who is this man Uncle Damon? He looks scary." He buried half of his face in Damon's chest, one eye looking up at me.
"That's Uncle Timothy, Kenneth. Why are you here?"
"He was yelling and I couldn't go to sleep."
I kneeled in front of the two with a nice smile and apologized. He finally smiled at me.
"How old are you Kenneth?"
"Seven."
I looked at Damon in terror, and mouthed, "Mother of two?!" I remembered that the two kids were age 5 and 7.
Damon fell on his ass and laughed, but I was still troubled. He finally stopped and shouted, "Of course not!"
Mother was back into the room and she literally danced as she found Kenneth sandwiched between Damon and I.
"Where's Kenneth? Where's my little grandson?" Mother sounded so childish, but at the same time spine-chilling. It's my first time to hear her speak with such care and such genuine.
"Here! Here!" Kenneth jumped with both arms waving in the air.
Kenneth ran into mother's arms as I help Damon get back on his feet.
"Why are you still here, darling? She's leaving at 4." Her sudden change of tone shocked Kenneth and I.
"Grandma, where's Uncle Tim going?"
Mother smooched Kenneth on the cheek, "Uncle Tim is busy. He has to leave now." She directed that at me.
"I'll come back to play with you Kenneth," I nodded at the child.
"Come back soon!" He reminded me.
I pursed my lips, and I nodded.
He'll be my only reason to come back.
Chapter 1.11: The Prostitute
The door of Hailey Forbes' apartment was scribbled with boobs and penises.
"Hot ass!" The bottom corner of the door said, and next to it looked like someone's jizz stain.
I pull on an orange sweater to hide all my killer scent and rang the doorbell.
No one answered.
I rang it again.
Still no one.
I banged on the door, "Hey miss! You still doing business? Heard about you all the way from Canada!"
Someone behind the door unlocked it and Forbes cautiously stuck her head out, obviously relieved that I wasn't mother or anyone she recognized. Her strip of hair dyed red hang down her left eye; she was probably hiding her bruised face.
"Sorry pal, I caught a cold. Don't want to spread disease."
"I insist. I need it now!" Saying that made me felt so uncomfortable. It felt like I was cheating on Nate.
"Sorry dude, I am really sick."
She tried to close the door on me, but I slipped my boot in, and I put on a sorrowful smile.
"I'm sorry," I apologized, and kicked the door wide open. The door smacked against her forehead, knocking her to the carpet. I slammed the door shut and she screamed and crawled away from me on all fours into her room. There was no window, no escape, no one to hear her call for help. I cornered her and her face was washing with tears.
"Please," her pleading all broken and choked, "don't kill me. I don't mean to."
I pulled out my utility knife.
"Please!" She screamed at the sight of my dull weapon. "I'll do anything! You can fuck the hell out of me. Please, don't!"
"Sorry lady."
"No! Don't! Please!"
And I lunged at her.
Her screaming still echoed in my ears. At least she stopped screaming. Her body froze in place, and her eyes were still wide open. I looked right into her fear-soaked eyes.
Mother would not be happy about this.
Chapter 1.12 The Aftermath
Nate whistled as he drove us back home from a wine festival, and of course, I was the only one who wine-tasted. I hope kissing him after I drank won't get him in trouble.
About the public display of affection, I've became more open after what I did a few months back with Hailey Forbes. I might lose Nate anytime now, and if he ever finds out, I would have to break his heart.
"So you like white or red more?" Nate held my hand up to his face and kissed it.
"I like both. White is nice for just celebration. Red is nice with food, and especially with chicken."
"Chicken?" He acted offended, "Shouldn't it be steak?"
"Steak's good too."
